because this picture reminds me of a ghost story from Robin Mead's 1995 book HAUNTED HOTELS: A GUIDE TO AMERICAN AND CANADIAN INNS AND THEIR GHOSTS.
I freely admit, I've never been much of a fan of Margaret Mitchell's novel GONE WITH THE WIND (1936)--except, of course, for that irrepressible Charleston-born rogue Rhett Butler, which may owe more to Clark Gable's characterization of him in the 1939 movie than to the book.
There was at the time Mead published his book--and may be yet; the most recent reference I could find to the place online (without more extensive digging) was dated 1998--a bed and breakfast in Concord, Georgia, called Inn Scarlett's Footsteps. Its owners, K.C. and Vern Bassham, had refurbished an antebellum mansion that looked very much like Tara from the movie in antebellum style. According to Mead, the bedrooms were named after characters from the book: Scarlett, Rhett, Melanie, Ashley, and Mr. Gerald.
And one elderly lady who stayed in Rhett's room, says Mead, swore up and down that Rhett--that bad boy!--appeared in the room during a party, smoking a large cigar in defiance of the inn's no-smoking policy. Moreover, he kissed her on the cheek.
Rhett Butler, mind. Not Clark Gable--Rhett Butler.
Hard to swallow--a fictional character, rather than the actor who brought him to life, haunting a themed inn.
But that's how the story goes--
