S13 E18 - F-Bomb - Till Death Do Us Part - Michigan's Ghost Brides Who Never Reached Tomorrow

Three Michigan brides. Three futures cut tragically short. At Morris Chapel near Niles, Kathryn is said to wait where her wedding should have begun. Along Milan-Oakville Road, a woman in white searches for help after a fatal crash. And inside Central Lake’s Blue Pelican Inn, a young bride may still be trying to complete the escape that ended with her death. This week on F-Bomb Friday, Tracy and Todd explore the history, folklore, and heartbreak behind Michigan’s ghostly brides—and ask why some promises refuse to stay buried.
