Hell hath no fury ...
The woman, whose name has not been released, was jailed for impersonating a ghost after a campaign of hate from (almost) beyond the grave.
The 42-year-old spent weeks terrorizing her husband's employer at the 15th- century Castel Coldrano in Laces, Belzano, on the border between Austria and Italy.
The Austrian owner of the castle called the police after doors slamming and things going bump in the dead of night drove him to his wits' end. Rather than call in the ghost-busters, the police installed video cameras and, in a turn of events that wouldn't look out of place in a Scooby-Doo episode, found the culprit to be nothing more terrifying than a middle-aged woman with a grudge.
An unexplained grievance provoked her midnight masquerade. Police said she was motivated by "a personal rancor" against the manager of the cultural center in the estate. She was convicted of harassment and damage to the castle and was sentenced to four months. L.M.
