Fact - Pete Maravich, a basketball player, said in an interview when he was 26 that "I don't want to play ten years in the NBA and die of a heart attack at age 40." He went on to have a 10 year NBA career, dying age 40 of a heart attack.

Place - Boothe Park (5775 Main St., Stratford, Connecticut)
Boothe Park is a collection of the unusual, and includes a mini windmill and clock tower, mini lighthouse, carriage house, trolley station, blacksmith shop, chapel, model train museum, Americana museum, observatory, playground, rose garden, a cemetery, and even a building with no windows or doors. The area was once the site of a 1663 home, and the park is believed to be haunted. Witnesses have reported eerie feelings and heard unexplained knocking and voices, and shadowy forms have been seen in the cemetery.
