The Corpse Bride
I'm still not exactly sure how I stumbled onto this story. I don't routinely surf websites entitled Malaysian Babes, but for some reason the links I followed brought me to a post about this super spooky photo and tale:
p.s. For the easily creeped out, i.e people who can't watch The Ring, let alone Watcher in the Woods, skip this post.
Trust Me.
I mean it.
Still here? Ok.
At first look, nothing amiss, right?
Well?
She dead.
According to the internet story - someone helpfully translated from the original Malaysian which was translated from the Chinese (so you know it's reliable), a historian unearthed this photo and revealed it's story. The wedding photo was taken in 1922, the bride the daughter of a wealthy Chinese family and the groom a poor but extremely handsome fella. Tragically the bride developed a high fever and died before she could be buried. But that didn't deter her parents who were unwilling to send their daughter to the grave unwed. The groom, rightfully unwilling to be married to a dead girl, fled his village and joined the army. Her parents tracked him down, and six days after the bride's death, they was joined in holy matrimony.
For the J-horror twist, you aren't supposed to look at her photo too long. Because she just might smile at you.
