Here’s the original column: [http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5\_016.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_016.html)
This column reminded me of another spooky Hollywood tale of a boy’s ghost appearing in the window of the apartment in “Three Men and a Baby”. From what I understand, the legend is that a boy committed suicide in the apaprtment or on the set they filmed the movie in, and you can see his ghost in one of the windows during a scene.
Has anyone else heard of this or seen it? Anyone have any more information on it?
Thanks for reading! -hope

Check out [this](http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/3menbaby.htm) link from Snopes. Snopes is a great site dedicated to urban legends such as this one.

The munchkin’s name was Chad. He turned up in Florida nearly four years ago.

The linked article, while adressing directly this thread’s question, has an inaccuracy of it’s own. The urban legend of the most unusual place of sex is actually true.
If Cecil would watch more VH1 he would be aware, through “Outrageous Gameshow Moments”, that Bob Eubanks was indeed given the answer of “In the Ass.” The husband found it quite hilarious, the audience concurred, and another newlywed was put to shame.
In a related story, Cecil would also be slightly less intelligent if he watched more VH1. Such is my world.
