Катерин Кроу «The Haunted Mill»

One of three stories in the book from Mrs. Crowe's The Night Side of Nature, an exceedingly popular book of supernatural stories, culled from all the world, many of which were claimed to have been true. (Mrs. Crowe evidently was sincere in her belief of the supernatural; when she was found naked one night in Edinburgh in the 1850s, she insisted that spirits must have taken her clothes. Imagine her surprise when she was treated for mental illness.) All of Mrs. Crowe's supernatural collections, as well as some of her gothic romances, are available online.
