Ghost ploy discovered

A woman has been jailed in Italy for four months for pretending to be a ghost.

She spent weeks terrorising her husband's employer at the 15th century Castel Coldrano, on the border between Italy and Austria, slamming doors, haunting hallways and making things go bump in the night.

The Austrian owner of the castle called the police, who decided to video the estate.

And instead of an apparition, they caught a 42-year-old Polish woman. She had spent her nights masquerading as a phantom to scare the estate owner. An unexplained grievance had provoked her campaign.
