But, now that Edgar has brought it up, I do wonder why the original newspaper article makes such a big deal in mentioning that the woman was Polish. I mean, would the tale have a different slant or import if she had been, say, Russian or French or German? Is that bit of meaningless identification a hint of latent xenophobia in the writer?
Polish women cannot be trusted.
Well, the story does mention on two occasions her country of origin. Is it possible that they harbor grudges or get angry more than most?
Perhaps there's a study out there somewhere that can prove this.
That's nothing! Try being haunted by Hungarians sometime. Now THAT'S spooky!

Or perhaps their sense of humor is superior to their good sense.
Here is an oldy, but goody I'm bumping to be re-read by my legion of fans......
@Reyn,
Ha, that IS a good one! Glad you dragged it back up in to the daylight, I'd never seen it before...
@cyphercat,
You're welcome! I like to re-read some of the old stuff myself from time to time.
@Reyn,
Why, oh why couldn't this have happened in Transylvania?

I believe it was a Polish polish, Edgar.
