Scary stories To tell in the dark.

The bride in the trunk

A young couple, both 18, decided they would get married after they finished high school. The father of the bride lived in Palm Beach in a mansion and was able to afford a big wedding for them. To make a long story short, they got married and the wedding was beautiful.

After the wedding, they had a big reception in an old building and everyone got fairly drunk. When there were only about twenty people left, the groom decided that they should play hide-and-seek. Everyone agreed and the groom was "it." While he covered his eyes, they all found hiding spots.

After about twenty minutes everyone had been found except the bride. The guests looked everywhere and tore the whole place apart looking for her. A few hours later the groom was furious, thinking the bride was playing a terrible trick on him. Eventually, everyone went home.

A few weeks later the groom, having filed a missing persons report, gave up looking for her. Heartbroken, he tried to go on with his life.

Three years later a little old woman was cleaning up the old building, where the reception had been held. She happened to be in the attic and noticed an old trunk. She dusted it off, and, out of curiosity, opened it. She screamed at the top of her lungs, ran out of the building, and called the police.

Apparently, the bride had decided to hide in the trunk for the game of hide-and-seek. When she sat down, the lid fell, knocking her unconscious and locking her inside. She suffocated after a day or so. When the old woman found her, she was rotting, her mouth hanging open in the shape of a scream..
