Susan Hill's Woman In Black

The woman in black:
Spirit haunting Eel Marsh house,
Detests the living,
Wasted, bitter, died of grief,
Terrifies the villagers.

Dear Jack, you are so sweet so end me a copy! I can't wait to read it. The book I sent to you should arrive in 6-9 days. Please let me know when you get it. Getting set for my fishing trip. Love, Carolyn

I am not sure if I know it or not. It sounds familiar, but anyway, I really like how you described her!
