The story goes that the young woman woke up after her wedding night to find her husband gone. Unable to find him, she assumes that she was not a good person in bed. With shame and confusion driving her, she threw herself out the tower window. There had been a mistake, as her husband was in fact gone hunting at the crack of dawn and had not wanted to wake her up. The ghost of the woman is said to return to the room where she died whenever newlyweds stay at the castle.

She haunts the grounds and the house itself. She is said to be wearing an old gray dress, weeping.
