An ultra-grim stage melodrama by Polish playwright Stanislau Witkiewicz was the source of In an Older Manor House. The principal character (she can hardly be called the heroine) is the unfaithful wife of the titular manor's master. When she displays an unnatural attraction to her stepson, the woman is killed by her husband. Her vengeful wraith arises from the grave to wreak havoc on anyone daring to venture into her husband's house.
