Woman jailed for haunting house

Echoing footsteps in hallways and slamming doors late at night had made the owner increasingly jittery.

He called in the police, who captured a 42-year-old Polish woman on video, masquerading as a ghost over a period of weeks, making mysterious noises.

She was jailed for four months. Her husband was employed by the owner, and some unexplained grievance haunted her.

She was convicted on nuisance charges, Austrian television reported.

But it was unclear what had motivated her to begin her campaign of ghostly disquiet at her husband's employer's property.
