During a wedding reception of a young couple the guests decided on a drunken game of hide and seek. It was decided that the groom was “it” and he eventually found everyone but his new bride. Eventually the man became furious and decided it wasn’t funny anymore and left her there. As weeks went by he accepted that she’d had second thoughts and went on with her life so he did the same. A few years later a cleaning lady dusted off an old trunk in the attic of the building where the reception had taken place, out of curiosity she opened it. Inside the trunk was the rotted body of the missing bride who’d apparently became locked in the trunk she’d hid in. Whether she’d suffocated or starved was unknown, but her face was frozen in a scream.

I’ve heard this one told about an ancestral home in England some time in the 16th century- some book on British folklore mentioned it.

That’s actually a true story. It was at the wedding reception and they were playing hide and seek, the bride went upstairs to her childhood hiding place, but when she closed the trunk, it locked…
Ha, this is a legend from my school, as well.
I just saw this story today on Mostly True Stories: Urban Legends.
It was debunking it, because the body would start to smell, and people would find it.
…But it still makes for a good creepy pasta!
I real like this kinda stuff!! I especialy like the frozen screaming face! XD It gave me goose bumps!!
MY HUMPS LIL LUMPS!!! WOOT WOOT
Lol ZOMB!!!
Random shit dawg
I saw this on “Urban Legends”. Apparently it was the brides sister that opened the trunk in prep for her own wedding.

Because whatever made her scream muffled the noises…
:o
Oh!
I saw this on…was it called Legend Trippers? I’m sorry, I don’t remember the name of the show; I just remember that I saw it on the Discovery Channel while I was waiting for A Haunting to come on.
Although in that version, I don’t think they found her until it was her sister’s turn to get married.
Anyway, never knew this was a creepypasta as well.
it was in scary stories to tell in the dark…i used to live for those
esp the illustrator…majorly creepy dude
i remember this story!
I iz teh l33t hider!!!!
on holidays woudnt the family notice that she never stops by anymore?
yeah, or found her earlier. Aren’t cleaning people suppose to cover the WHOLE house? What took so long?
That is just creepy. (hey! ceeepypasta! =D) But, i don’t know, you’d think they would be able to hear here thumping around in the trunk. Or at least called the cops.
Once read this in a scary story book it’s good to hear it again just not on one of my favorite sites .-. Although it was a whole lot longer in the bok. ‘Yay short versions.’
Urban legend turned creepypasta.
Not a very good one….
I’ve heard this one so many times.
I’m surprised it made it to creepypasta.
sad
i remember hearing this in a book in second grade
I’ve heard this story before…Its kinda sad.
the only problem ive ever had with the versions of this story is the fact that…wooden trunks arnt soundproof at all. if her face was frozen in a scream why did no one hear.
In “Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark,” she gets hit on the head with the lid of the drunk.
I thought I had read a different version of this creepypasta here on this site. I’m confused.
A bit cliche.
I think this one dates from the 16th Century at least.

In “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” … and yes, the illustrations still make me wet myself.
Loved that book. Creeped out my brothers>:D Muahahahaha!!!!!
I remember reading this on /x/. I think it’s rather good, but I agree that overall it’s a bit boring.
i heard read this story in a book. this was was a little different than the one in the book, because the grooms granddaughter found her. nice twist with the scream though.
aww.. i’ve heard this one soooo many times.
I like the scream. Nice and bizarre twist to an otherwise mundane tale.
I remember reading this story wen i was 6. Memories, memories. :) (evil laughter)
Lovely username mi amico
Muahahaahahahaha! They never new that she was dead! (Obviously i locked the trunk) now for the husband! (Laughs)
No, Killer, your name is only ironic. You couldn’t hurt a fly. And by hurt a fly, I mean kill a person.
