ARCHIVE SUMMARY

“Haunted” functions here as a recurring printed descriptor rather than one stable named figure. The matched records most often sit within the “Retellings and Adaptations” archive category, with the “Spirit-Person Narratives” category also present; ordinary, literary, and supernatural uses may coexist, so the entry should not be read as a single sighting tradition. The accepted archive contains 54 records from 1872–2026. The largest coded regional group is Victoria (4), and the largest source group is Project Gutenberg (21). These distributions describe archive coverage, not real-world incidence.
