SOURCE: "ON THE NORTHERN ICE" (1898) by Elia W. Peattie

DESCRIPTION: "... It came to him with a shock that he was not alone.  His eyelashes were frosted and his eyeballs blurred with the cold, so at first he thought it might be an illusion.  But when he had rubbed his eyes hard, he made sure that not very far in front of him was a long white skater in fluttering garments who sped over the ice as fast as ever werewolf went." 

PLOT: A man is skating across a large lake to a party. He sees a mysterious figure who leads him away from some open ice. When he arrives safely at the party he finds out his love has fallen in that dangerous spot and died. He realizes the strange figure he saw was her "ghost" warning him away.

WEREWOLF FACTS: The werewolf in this story seems more like a ghost.

INTERESTING FACTS: This short tale seems to confuse ghost and werewolf tales. Peattie doesn't introduce the werewolf (or was it a ghost?) with any subtlety. Just an odd little tale.
