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.

This reminds me of the movie Urban Ledgends: Bloody Mary, where they finally find the body of Mary in a trunk in the school I think….I really loved this one :)
It’s taken from a book of short stories, it’s a series of books I think there are three or four in total and in the original the trunk lid hits her on the head and knocks her out. No screaming involved.
Okay. I’ve heard this one before. It was on a urban legend show where it says if it’s fake or not. I can tell you this, wh oever wrote this didnt make this up. they got it from somewhere
I have read this story in a book, the book told it better, and i sort of expected this story to pop up somewhere in this site. Nice touch with the scream, though. :)
Copied from the poem “Ginevra” by Samuel Rogers, published 1822. Lame pasta is lame.
I once read a version where the couple had rings engraved with ‘I will never be far from you, be not far from me’ and the on the wedding day the bride hid for hide and seek and never reappeared. Years passed and the man never left his house or remarried but always wore the ring. When he was very old, he went into the attic and some yellowing lace caught his eye from a trunk and in it he found the skeleton of his wife, still with the engraved ring on her finger. He held her and died there. It’s the sort of story that makes you want to cry because she never was far from him like their engraved rings promised.
Do you remember the name of the book? I have been searching the internet, inside and out, trying to find it!
Do you remember the title of the book that story was in?
Wouldn’t have happend if she was in the kitchen..
Who the hell plays children’s games at their wedding? What’s next? A tragic “Duck, Duck, Goose Accident”? Or may be “Red Light, Green Light Gone Wrong” “Simon Says DIE” or “Tag, You’re Dead”
This wasn’t very good. It sounds far too childish.
THEN WHO WAS GROOM?
Cool, ive never heard this.
Totally read this one before. But still, it\’s a good one. :P Not really the best version I\’ve read, though.
I didn’t realise 8 year olds were allowed to get married.
SCARE STORY TO TELL IN THE DARK I L,OCVE THAT BOOK
They got drunk on THEIR WEDDING, and their idea of “a bit of fun” was playing HIDE AND SEEK?
Are you fucking having me on?
wtf this is freaky
Would have been better if it ended something like: The cause of her death appears to be from the ragged wounds on her throat, as if she had tried to commit suicide by ripping out her throat with her fingernails when she realised that escape was impossible.
Would also allow it to be posted under the Madness catergory XD
poor bride, but dumb husband, so he just comes to the conclusion that shes left him, why the hell marry her then if he thought she was that type of person.
Any man with half a brain would think something was seriously wrong, and why would you play a stupid game like that on your wedding night – when i got married all i was thinking was that i wanted everyone to get lost so my husband and i could go to our hotel and f@#$…..
Poor bride. She wouldn’t have been happy with a husband like that anyway D<
Fake or not, it’s an interesting short.
This story is copy-pasted from a children’s book with fake horror stories.
Try again.
A better name for this would have been “Bride and Go Seek”.
crap pasta
Oh I remember this one, read it while i was in elementary school. I thought it was good back then, but now it is just old pasta :/
Lawl! This is another FML appropriate story. That’s hilarious.
D because it was creepy.
ooh i like it. this is why i never hide myself in things like that because then they lock and a scary monster raeps me. :).
Reminds me of the story “When Darkness Loves Us” by.. I forgot her name… Where the girl checks out an old cave she had played in during her childhood and was accidentally locked up by her own husband.. She escaped twenty years later when the guy had married her younger sister and had children.. Read the story for yourselves.. It was quite…creepy….
@2
Yeah I heards this one before =3
THEN WHO WAS LOOKING FOR HER!
Oh wait…no-one.
seriously, this is true, i saw it on the news, it happened just up the road from me.
I read that in a book once….scared the crap out of me for a good while… especially since my cousin’s wedding was the next week after I read this..my cousin’s wedding was fine and now she has two kids and is living a wonderful life
