Biography[]
The tragedy of the Ghost Bride occured in the year 1923. Before she wanted to get revenge, Cynthia was in madly in love with her fiancé, Jack and was eagerly looking forward to their wedding day. However, on the day she was supposed to be getting married, Cynthia realized that Jack had skipped the wedding and left her standing for hours at the altar. She soon discovered that Jack cheated on her after falling in love with her sister, Courtney; the two got married the next day. Feeling sad and angry, Cynthia vowed revenge on her sister and brother-in-law.
Later that night, Cynthia went to her closet to put on her wedding dress, found a big sharp axe in her basement and walked 13 blocks to her sister's house in the pouring rain. Cynthia arrived at the house and crept upstairs to the bedroom where she saw Courtney and Jack sleeping in bed, Cynthia chopped them to death in their sleep. When the police arrived at the house, they found her sitting in a rocking chair next to the dead bodies, throwing rice and smiling while humming the Wedding March. She then jumped out the window, taking her own life to avoid being arrested. She was later buried in her wedding dress.
Every year, on the anniversary of the double-murder and suicide, she rises from her grave in search for more victims to chop with her axe.
