The Dead and the Countess by Gertrude Atherton is a compelling tale intertwined with the supernatural.

The dead sleep peacefully—until a railway is built near their cemetery. While the old priest works to keep them at rest, the count's dying wife begs to be buried near the railway. But when her last wish is granted, the priest finds that the sound of the train leaves the countess far from at peace.
