Hey YouTube, Jim here! Welcome to Top10Archive! When it comes to choosing a venue for your
wedding, you’re likely not choosing from a list that could double as a horror movie
set. Unless you’re some people, like some of our fans! Today we’re going through the
top 10 creepiest places you can get married! Hey and if you end up enjoying this video, then
in the comment section, tell us the place where you'd like to get married, creepy or otherwise!
10. Married At Your Parents' Gravesites Looking to bring a little morbidity to your
wedding day? Who isn’t? Just ask this couple who perfected the “we’re all gonna die anyway” mood
by getting married at their parents’ gravesites. Most couples who look to honor a deceased parent
on their wedding day have a nice slideshow of photos, maybe a speech. Not these two. This couple
got married in 2012 at their parents’ gravestones in Minnesota. Though not everyone loved the idea,
they still had a guest list of fifty-some people. 9. Marriage in Hell
Most wedding planners will sell you your perfect wedding venue by telling you it will feel just
like heaven. This strategy certainly wouldn’t have worked on the couple that got married
at the 7 Floors of Hell haunted house where they’d worked together and nurtured their relationship.
They really leaned into the theme, too. The groom made his entrance in a hearse,
coming out of a coffin while the bride waited, resembling Carrie in her dress made to appear as
if splattered with blood. The minister even played along, dressed as the Grim Reaper.
8. The Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri This 1860s mansion is supposedly haunted by
the Lemps, a once-famous brewing family. It suffered a series of tragedies, including
several suicides happening inside the mansion itself. Frederick Lemp, head of the family,
died of mysterious circumstances, and so the home was passed on with its dark history and past. Now,
it’s a place where you can get not just an affordable wedding venue, but also one that
doesn’t have a jam-packed schedule with a waiting list for the summer wedding of your dreams.
7. Walworth Castle Hotel Lots of girls dream about getting married
in a castle. This Walworth Castle Hotel sees many a request for couples planning their nuptials.
The 12th-Century home with lavish green lawns and several outdoor and indoor areas
for weddings seems too good to be true, like it must have a catch. You’d be right to think so!
The castle comes with the haunting of a young female servant who found herself in a strange
relationship with one of the lords of the castle. Legend says he had her walled into the staircase
during renovations to keep her from talking and her body from being found. Ever since,
a spectre haunts the castle, often coming from the staircase. Other stories report screams, shadows,
and figures sitting in otherwise empty armchairs. Would you put your fear aside to get married here?
6. Dracula’s Castle Ok, I’m not going to lie, I wish I’d gotten
married at Dracula’s castle in Transylvania. Bran Castle, with a history linked to Vlad the Impaler,
has quite the history. The Impaler was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s novel
Dracula. Unfortunately, it seems Dracula is the least scary thing there. The castle
was once home to the Queen of Romania, Marie, who loved it for its tranquility.
A tranquility that didn’t outlive her, since after her death her heart was buried in the fireplace.
Many say her ghost remains there, walking through the gardens. This, of course, doesn’t stop
fanatics from going and getting married there, in the dungeon no less! Though there are no
known cases of fatal hauntings during a wedding, I would say it’s in the realm of possibilities.
If you get married there, send me an invitation. 5. Hotel Provincial in New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans is full of history and beauty, not to mention food! Though I don’t think
this is why ghosts stick around, it is quite the destination for ghost tours.
This hotel, located in the French Quarter, was a Confederate hospital in its past. Guests of the
hotel have been reporting ghosts for years. Some seem to have seen doctors while others have seen
soldiers. I can’t imagine what the walls would say if they could talk, and I’m not sure I’d love to
cement my wedding day to a place like this. 4. The Driskill Hotel in Texas
Back in 1886, Austin was going through a similar revival to the current one. People were investing,
jobs were being created, it was the cool place to be. Those investors included Jesse Driskill,
from Missouri, who opened a $400,000 hotel. After some bad business, Driskill had to give
up the hotel but it moved on just fine without him, becoming the venue for governor balls and
the first date for former president and first lady Lyndon B. and Lady Bird Johnson. It remains
a coveted place to tie the knot if you ignore small details like the phantom cigar smoke smell
that could belong to some dead colonel. To add, don’t go to room 525. It’s said to be the site of
not one, but two suicides, and that, my friend, is the beginning of every horror movie ever.
3. The Crescent Hotel and Spa in Eureka Springs, Arkansas
If someone comes to you saying you’ve won an all-paid vacation to The Crescent Hotel and Spa
in Eureka Springs, you’d be so jazzed! It has hiking, spa services, gourmet restaurants,
wine tastings, and endless more activities to make you feel like you’re rich. It’s also one of the
most haunted hotels in America. From its very construction, tragedy seemed to be all around,
like when a stonemason fell to his death inside the building. Decades later in the 1900s,
a woman fell from a top story window. Some say she was pushed. Later it was sold to a man who
turned the place into a hospital, attempting to profit by selling fake miracle cures for cancer.
He’d find vulnerable patients with no families to advocate for them. After becoming a resort once
more, guests say they still see ghosts of doctors, nurses, and even patients. A tour is available,
where you can visit the basement where Baker would perform horrible fake surgeries,
like putting random objects in people’s skulls. 2. Maumee Bay Brewing Company in Toledo, Ohio
If you’re a fan of a good brew, you might be considering getting married at an old-timey
brewery. Interested in a ghost, added free of charge? The owner of this brewing company
in Ohio still appears in his pool room, among other ghosts. There might not be much about him
particularly that made this happen, but rather the place where he chose to have his Brewing Company.
See, the structure is built on a Native American burial ground and then served as a recovery
facility during the Spanish American war. So, while they may not know why the floors creak,
the doors shut, and there are phantom steps and sounds, you're still allowed to get married there.
1. Historic Plains Hotel Our #1 is not just the scariest one on the list,
it’s also the most relevant one to a wedding you’ll find. The Historic Plains Hotel in Wyoming
is known for the double murder-suicide that occurred there in the early 1900s.
But don’t think that because it happened so long ago, that the spookiness has faded.
See, the tragedy started during a couple's honeymoon when the bride, Rosie, found her
beau at the bar chatting up a sex worker and then following her to a hotel room. The desperate bride
grabbed her husband's gun and shot them both. After, in despair, she returned to the honeymoon
suite and took her own life. If that’s the kind of vibe you want at your wedding, by all means.
Go get married at the Historic Plains Hotel! Thanks for watching! Hearing all these stories
makes me glad I got married in a more mundane place, yet still to an exciting woman! What
