The poetess who lived with her mummified husband: Carolina Coronado.

Carolina Coronado, a renowned poetess of the Spanish Romanticism, suffered from catalepsy. In fact, the news of her death was mistakenly published in 1844. Due to her terror of being buried alive, when her daughter died, she had her embalmed. And when her husband, Justo Horacio Perry, passed away, Carolina fell into a kind of obsessive grief. She withdrew from the world, seeking refuge in sorrowful solitude inside her mansion in Mitra, Galicia, where she lived with her husband's corpse, whom she called 'the silent one' or 'the man upstairs.' Carolina remained this way for twenty years until she died in 1911, when both were buried together."
