Welcome back, fellow humans 🙂
Most women dream of wearing a beautiful wedding dress on their special day.
Have you heard about Anna Baker’s Wedding Dress?
In 1836, ironmaster Elias Baker was a wealthy and proud businessman.
He purchased the Baker Mansion in Altoona.
Anna Baker was his third child and she did not fancy her privileged life. She fell in love with a local steelworker, the young man presented Anna with an engagement ring.
She started to organise a secret wedding and even got a wedding gown but her father forbade her from marrying him because he was from a lower social class.
The father exploited his power to kick this man out of Altoona. Anna was saddened and locked herself up at her house. By the time her father died, it was too late.
Servants would see Anna wearing her wedding dress and dancing under the moonlight. In 1914, she died, leaving behind her anger in the wedding dress she never got to wear.
In 1922, Edward Bell’s daughter, Elizabeth Dysart bought Anna’s wedding dress and taunted her for never getting married in that beautiful dress.
The wedding dress is placed in a glass case on the second floor that once was Anna’s dressing room.
Often, visitors reported hearing music and footsteps and during full moons the dress dances alone. Sometimes, the display glass shakes so hard almost to a point of shattering the glass on the wooden display case. Over the years, the dress has been removed to preserve the fragile clothing.
Thank you for reading, fellow humans. 🙂

It is an interesting story behind Anna’s dress. Here in the Philippines, we have a version called the black dress, and it became an inspiration for a horror movie.

Such an interesting story. I think people should be able to marry someone because they love them, not because of their social class. What a sad fate!

This is such a cool and spooky story! I love the idea of the dress dancing around by itself, that’s absolutely terrifying (I’m a big horror movie fan). Awesome post!
