Stopping at a tavern in a tiny village near the Black Forest, the woman proprietor tells Grimm of the old female caretaker at Tuber Castle being murdered by the ghost of the caretaker's daughter earlier that night. The daughter was jilted by a Tuber count, and the caretaker's beautiful wife resides in the castle with her servants. The ghost returns seeking her rival, and the tavern owner suggests she mistook her mother for the rival countess. Grimm leaves the establishment, having heard enough.
