| They
began to walk faster - then they realised that the bells they could
hear were in fact wedding bells.
A
bridal procession slowly appeared round the corner - a coach drawn
by six horses, with footmen and a coachman. As the coach passed,
the couple looked inside at the bride, dressed in her magnificent
white wedding dress.
But
the bride had no face - under her wedding veil there was just a
skull. Scared out of their wits, the couple ran the rest of the
way home.
At first, they worried that people would laugh at them, but when
they told others about their encounter, they were told about an
old legend.
A
long time ago, the same bride went to St. Lawrence Church to be
married, but her bridegroom never arrived. She was so sad that she
killed herself, and now, once a year, her ghost drives down the
valley, trying to find her disloyal fiance.
