    The authors prove that in every dimension \(u= 3j+2\), \(j\geq 1\), there exist compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor, which are Ricci-recurrent, but neither conformally flat, nor locally symmetric, and this for all indefinite signatures. Recall that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) is Ricci-recurrent if, for all tangent vector fields \(w\), the Ricci tensor Ric and its covariant derivative \(\delta_w\) Ric are linearly dependent at every point in \(M\).
