Glenfinlas

 I chanced upon a volume of Tales from the Haunted Forests of Britain entitled Weird Woods.  Eton scholar M. R. James has one entry A Neighbor's Landmark which has a scholarly library entrance.  This interesting story has a quote from Sir Walter Scott's Glenfinlas.  Scott first included this in his Tales of Wonder in 1801 then later in his Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border.  Scott composed some captivating supernatural tales and this one does not end well for Lord Ronald after a visit by a water soaked lady in green.

The White Lady

 Elliot O'Donnell was a writer of ghost stories.  His Scottish tale of The White Lady of Rownam Avenue, Near Stirling begins with a reference to Sir Walter Scott's White Lady of Avenel.  The short tale with a supernatural focus has its own white lady and does not end well.  Boieldieu's La Dame Blanche is still performed to this day but has a happy ending with the accompaniment of gorgeous music.
