This is about the tragic death of a young woman.
It is said that she strides around in the dead of night
Some people are said to hace fled in fright
Because her stately appearance is such a sight
But they say that she is always 'a moaning
Her cracked lips constantly issuing a groaning
And that she always draws a ragged breath
And they also say that it was her spouse that caused her death
Because of her burns, it is water she will always seek
Her life had ill turns, and she was frequently weak
Through the halls of the castle
She always roams
Her life there was a hassle
And she had to die there of all homes
They say that she always pleads for help
And that if you strain your ears
You can occasionally hear a yelp
And someone burst into tears
Then you know that it is Julia

Some people have learned
That she was once pushed into the flames
And that is how she was burned
And the person who did it remains unnamed
It is said that she always yearns
And something in your stomach churns
But some say 'tis just the wind
Or your mind, harking back on the times you have sinned
People stay away from that place
And only those wanting a thrill go there
Though they still make haste
But the one thing they want to see is her once-lovely face
And they also say that those who go in search for her never achieve that dream
But why people find her and some people don't, that will always be a sieve
But there is also a rumor that she was seen near a well
On the grounds of the place she will always dwell
