As far back as the 19th century, people have reported seeing a ghostly woman in white drifting along roadsides, riverbanks or old forts and castles all over the globe. And while the origins of the White Lady aren’t clear, the tales surrounding her speak of betrayal, heartbreak, remorse and profound grief. Some have even said she can predict impending disasters.
