And just who is the mysterious Man in Black that shows up every year on January 19, the writer's birthday'. -The Resurrection Apparition: A "hitchhiking ghost" outside Justice, Illinois, vanishes from the car she's riding in as it passes Resurrection Cemetery--earning her the nickname Resurrection Mary. -The Queen of Voodoo: The restless spirit of Marie Laveau, the nineteenth-century Queen of Voodoo, is said to appear in New Orleans's St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in the form of a gigantic black crow or a phantom black hellhound--when she's not walking through the French Quarter.
