What is recorded here

Buccleuch died young, leaving behind a beautiful woman and a son no bigger than a cat. She refused to believe the boy was gone, carrying his empty chest through the snow until the cold took her. The castle stood vacant for a century, its halls echoing with the ghost of a child who never stopped running. When they finally opened the doors, they found his small boots still tied at the ankle, waiting for a foot that would never return.
