I was going to mention the guy who walked into the ER holding his head and
them finding out his neck was broken.

But being a lover of folk music I remembered the origin of the story.

"With her head tucked underneath her arm"

In the Tower of London large as life,
The Ghost of Anne Boleyn walks they declare.
For Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife,
Until he made the headsman bob her hair!
Ah, yes, he did her wrong, long years ago
And, she comes up at night to tell him soooo!

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour.
