Summary

The ghost of a woman searches for the body of her lover, killed in a battle.

A man driving on a dark rainy night saw a woman dressed in white on the road in front of the car. He slowed down, but the woman stayed in front for a while, then disappeared. The man later found out that what he had seen was the ghost of a woman whose lover had been killed in a battle at that place two or three hundred years before. She was looking for the body of her lover. It is twenty years [previous to 1959] since the ghost was last seen.
