Have You Seen the Bloody Bride of 13 Curves Road?
After a long night, the dark drive home along a backcountry road can be perilous. Your eyes play tricks on you as you travel on 13 Curves Road.
But those who have traveled down Cedervale Road, just outside of Syracuse, New York, know they can’t all be seeing the same “trick”—can they?
For decades, nighttime travelers of Cedervale Road, perhaps better known as 13 Curves Road, have claimed to see the chilling sight of a young woman, battered and bloody, still dressed in her white wedding gown, wandering along the side of the road.
This apparition is known as the Bloody Bride, and it’s said that she and her husband died on the very night of their marriage after losing control of their vehicle along the winding stretch. Others say the young bride survived, only to come back in death to haunt the spot where she lost her new husband so many years before.

Dozens of witnesses have claimed to see the Bloody Bride gliding along the road. Sometimes she’s described as carrying a small lantern. For some especially unlucky drivers, the Bloody Bride appears in the backseat of their car, with a haunting expression on her face, before disappearing.
As long as most can remember, the tragic tale of the Bloody Bride of 13 Curves Road has been told. Some locals believe the accident took place over a hundred years ago, and instead of a car, the bride and her husband were thrown from a horse and buggy down the steep curve and into the creek.

I love this kind of shit. Don’t care if it’s true. Might be a raven above my door, but maybe I just had too much to drink.
Agreed. There are things we just can’t explain.
There are things we a far from understanding. Easy to poo-poo this sort of thing.
Hope it’s true. I’ll come back and haunt my local pub!
