Trying to find a short story about the ghost of a french officer who woos lady, kills husband

Question

This was a really neat ghost story. The plot:

• writer moves his family to an island to write in solitude
• his wife starts acting weird, is being seduced by the ghost of a French officer
• the ghost leads the wife away one rainy night, writer chases her through a grave yard
• writer trips and falls, hits his head on tombstone with the French officer's name on it
• the wife realizes that the ghost didn't want her, he only wanted to kill

Does anyone recognize this story? If so, could you please share the title/author? Thank you, Mark
