Secrets of the Mysterious Bride

As you may know, Phantom Manor bases its storyline on the unfortunate fate of a young bride, and it does so with brilliant wistfulness. But what about the bride in the attic at the other Mansions?

There are some that say Master Gracey, the supposed owner of the Haunted Mansion, murdered his young bride on the eve of their wedding, after catching her in the attic with a young man, whom he also killed viciously by decapitating him with an old sword; Gracey never had the chance to find out that the young man was merely a runner from the bridal shop, bringing a last-minute collection of veils and hats for the young bride to sample...

Still others claim that Gracey's young bride lost her sanity, and killed herself by leaping off of the top of the old mansion on her wedding day, still wearing her gown, causing Gracey, in a fit of despair, to hang himself from the rafters of his home. It's even been said that Gracey may have killed his bride in the attic after a fit of unsubstantiated jealous rage, and then buried her in a brick column out in the family graveyard after throwing her wedding ring out the attic window in disgust.

In fact, some Haunted Mansion cast members from the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World even claim that to this day, you can still see the imprint of the bride's wedding ring outside of Gracey's old mansion in Liberty Square.
