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.

This was a fun ghost story. But I figured it out before the narrator. Of course he was a boy and I am a naturally suspicious life long reader of mysteries.
