Cynthia Snell, better known as the Ghost Bride, is the ghost of a vengeful young woman that murdered her sister, her ex-fiancé because he abandoned her and married her sister and then killed herself after she had been ditched at the altar.
Personality[]
Cynthia was in love with her fiancé, but then she was hurt and heartbroken when he didn't show up and jilted her at the altar. When Cynthia found out the reason was because he had fallen in love with her sister and was marrying her instead, it drove her over the edge, turning her into a vengeful murderer.
Urban legend[]
Cynthia Snell was a beautiful young woman who was very much in love with her fiancé, and was eagerly awaiting the day they were to be married. But when that day finally came, Cynthia's husband-to-be never showed up, thus making Cynthia a jilted bride. Heartbroken, she flung down her bouquet, stamped on it in a fury and left the church. To make matters worse, Cynthia discovered that the reason why her fiancé never showed up was because he had apparently fallen in love with her sister, and finally to add insult to injury, they got married the day after the groom was supposed to marry her.
Cynthia became enraged by this betrayal, deciding that if she couldn't have her former love, then no one would. So later that stormy night, she went to her closet, put on her wedding dress and picked up a big, sharp axe out of her basement and walked 13 blocks to the home where her sister and brother-in-law lived. Cynthia murdered them with the axe while they were sleeping and when the police finally arrived the next day, they found Cynthia rocking herself in a rocking chair next to the bodies, throwing rice and smiling while humming the Wedding March.
The police could only watch in horror as Cynthia committed suicide by jumping out the window so she couldn't be arrested, and was later buried in her wedding dress at the local cemetery. Every year on the anniversary of her murder/suicide, she supposedly rises from her grave, wanders among the gravestones, humming the Wedding March while she looks for more victims.
Trivia[]
- The story of Cynthia Snell was inspired by Lizzie Borden.
- It's possible that Cynthia may have had some kind of mental or psychotic disorder.
- Her gravestone says, "Here lies Cynthia Snell. She lived her life and went straight to..."
- It's never revealed what the last word is, as it was hidden by the dirt and grass, but it's highly likely "hell", which is likely blocked for the sake of the show's censorship.
