The red-haired witch of Kolga manor

Kolga, the great seat of the Stenbock counts, is crowded with ghosts. The most feared is a red-haired woman who walks through walls in the guest wing, dressed in white with burning eyes; she bites men on the hand, and any man she bites is said to die within a year. Some believe she is a countess killed with an axe in the attic in a fit of jealousy, and that her blood still stains the floorboards. Others speak of a murdered officer son who wanders with a candle, of a grey woman, and of ghosts who play cards and laugh behind locked doors on the third floor. The vast manor is privately owned and partly derelict.
