White Lady - Anna Vasa
Princess Anna was known to take exceptionally good care of her people, animals, plants and the castle itself. It’s not surprising then that she did not want to leave all this behind when she died. She still lives in her castle as a ghost – or the White Lady of Golub. She has often been seen wearing a long white dress decorated with pearls, walking along the corridors or strolling in the gardens.
