I've never heard of this urban legend before, but now I'm SPOOKED! There's a new film out on Netflix called ‘The Ghost Bride’ tells the story of a young woman who agrees to marry into a rich family by becoming the bride of their deceased son. While the book behind the series is fictional, author Yangsze Choo says the practice of ghost marriages among the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia is very real. Say whaaaaaat?! From dead children appearing to parents in dreams, to a poor family’s means of survival, Choo recalls all the stories she heard growing up.
Check out the real stories, then watch the Netflix trailer too!
