Paris may be the City of Light, but it is filled with dark corners. Some of the best-known ghost stories were inspired by the very real, gory history of this otherwise romantic setting.

Down on one knee, he popped the question and was promptly rejected. The story goes that he pushed her off the ledge, enraged by her response. An alternative is that she backed away in disgust and fell to her death. Whichever version of events you choose to believe, they end the same grisly way.
