Horror

By Girija ArumugamPublished 3 years ago 4 min read



There was once a young woman named Sarah who was set to marry the man of her dreams. However, on the night before the wedding, she had a terrifying nightmare about a dark figure looming over her as she lay in her bed. The figure whispered her name and claimed to be her true love.

The next morning, Sarah brushed off the dream as just pre-wedding jitters. However, as the day went on, strange things began to happen. Every time she looked in the mirror, she saw the dark figure from her nightmare instead of her own reflection. Her friends and family started to distance themselves from her, claiming that they saw the same dark figure whenever they looked at her.

The night of the wedding, Sarah was found dead in her bridal suite, her body twisted and contorted in an unnatural position. The cause of death was unknown and no one dared to enter the room after that. It was said that the bride of the nightmare still haunts the room, waiting for her next victim.

Years passed, and the old house where the wedding took place was left abandoned and forgotten. However, there were rumors of strange noises and ghostly apparitions coming from the bridal suite. People whispered that the bride of the nightmare still roamed the halls, searching for her next groom.

One day, a group of thrill-seeking teenagers broke into the house , determined to spend the night there and see if the rumors were true. They climbed the stairs to the bridal suite, giggling and joking about the supposed ghost. But their laughter died in their throats when they saw a dark figure standing in front of the fireplace, the same figure from Sarah's nightmare.

The figure slowly turned to face them, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. The teenagers screamed and tried to run, but they found themselves trapped, unable to move. The bride of the nightmare stepped closer, her ghostly veil billowing behind her, and whispered their names.

The next morning, the teenagers were found dead, their bodies contorted and twisted in the same unnatural position as Sarah's. The bride of the nightmare had claimed another victim, and the house was once again abandoned, its doors locked and windows boarded up.

It is said that to this day, the bride of the nightmare still haunts the old house ,waiting for her next groom. And whoever dares to enter the bridal suite will never return, for they will become the next bride of the nightmare.

Decades passed, and the rumors of the bride of the nightmare faded into the background, as newer and more exciting legends took their place. However, there were still those who whispered of the ghostly figure, and of the strange happenings that took place in the abandoned mansion.

One day, a young couple came to the house , seeking a unique and romantic location to hold their wedding. They were undaunted by the rumors of the bride of the nightmare, and they laughed at the old ghost stories. They set up their decorations in the bridal suite and began to prepare for their big day.

But as the night fell, strange things started to happen. The young bride-to-be felt a cold breath on the back of her neck, and she heard a whisper in her ear. She turned around to see the dark figure from Sarah's nightmare, standing just a few feet away from her. The bride screamed and ran from the room, but she found that the door was locked from the outside.

Her fiancé tried to break down the door, but it wouldn't budge. He heard his bride's screams coming from the other side, and he could hear the bride of the nightmare whispering her name. The screams suddenly stopped, and all was silent.

The next morning, the fiancé was found dead, his body contorted and twisted in the same unnatural position as the previous victims. The bride was never seen again, and it is said that she became the bride of the nightmare.

The house was once again abandoned, its doors locked and windows boarded up, and the rumors of the bride of the nightmare once again began to spread. And whoever dares to enter the bridal suite will never return, for they will become the next bride of the nightmare.

Decades went by, and the house became nothing more than a footnote in the town's history. It was rumored to be haunted, and most people avoided it at all costs. But there was one young woman who was determined to uncover the truth about the bride of the nightmare.

She was a writer, and she was fascinated by the old ghost stories. She heard about the abandoned house and she knew that she had to see it for herself. She went to the mansion one night, armed with a flashlight and a camera, determined to document the truth about the bride of the nightmare.

As she entered the bridal suite, she felt a cold chill run down her spine. The room was musty and dark, and she could hear strange whispers coming from the shadows. She raised her flashlight, determined to capture the ghostly apparition on film.

And that's when she saw it. The dark figure from Sarah's nightmare, standing in front of the fireplace, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. The writer screamed and ran from the room, but she found that the door was locked from the outside. She was trapped.

The next morning, her body was found in the bridal suite, contorted and twisted in the same unnatural position as the previous victims. The writer had become the latest bride of the nightmare.

And to this day, the house remains abandoned and locked up, its doors and windows boarded up, and the rumors of the bride of the nightmare continue to spread. And whoever dares to enter the bridal suite will never return.
