The complete explanatory local legend identifies one evil bull-shaped ghost’s former access through a castle window and says that sealing the window ended the haunting. It contains no fuller ATU-type plot; targeted searches for ghost entry, sealed window, and haunted castle found no matching complete type.

Thompson-Motive

Retained the broad E280 (ghosts haunt buildings) as probable and raw E281 (ghosts haunt house) as possible: the source is specifically a castle, a residence, making the house-level wording plausible but less exact. E338’s non-malevolent condition is contradicted by “böses”; E421.3.4’s fiery-bull condition is absent. E437.6 is not supported because the ghost is not said to be confined inside the castle.

  E280 is “Ghosts haunt buildings.” The source explicitly says an evil ghost disturbed the castle’s lords and used the window to enter and leave; sealing it ended the haunting.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  E281 is “Ghosts haunt house,” with the catalogue noting that ghost/familiar-spirit identity can sometimes be unclear. The source describes a castle haunting rather than a house; because the castle is the lords’ residence, the house-level match is plausible but less direct than E280.
