Haunted Honeymoons: Newlyweds Report Ghostly Third Wheel!
As if the ring, the rice and the recession weren’t spinning enough, newlyweds across the globe are raising a macabre matrimonial matter; they’re being haunted. And not by exes or embarrassing wedding photographs, but by ghosts! Indeed, an unearthly specter seems to be hitching a ride on their honeymoons, transforming into ghost-oh-oh-sts. Welcome to the world of Haunted Honeymoons!
Many see their honeymoon as a time to escape from the stress and chaos of the wedding planning process. They dream of sun-soaked beaches, romantic candle-lit dinners, and absolutely no evidence of their ghostly in-laws. Well, the tables have turned because, by several intriguing accounts, the “till death do us apart” clause is getting itself a paranormal extension!
Case in point: meet the Tennants from Texas. They embarked on a quaint Amish village honeymoon, chasing simplicity. Little did they know, simplicity would chase them right back complete with a spectral twist! On their first night, as they hunkered down in their cabin, a blood-chilling whisper echoed, “Will thou pass the butter?” Wrought with fear, they did what any Texas newlyweds would do – reached for the butter.
Then consider the Beckets from Florida, who hoped for a chill, ski-cozy honeymoon in the Alps. To their antics, a ghostly local decided to join the frosty fun. Ever tried skiing down a slope with a chill running down your spine, courtesy of a phantom yodeler? Mr. Becket says, “It’s scarier than a gator in a swimming pool.” We’ll have to take your word for it, Mr. Becket!
Speaking of pools, newlyweds, The Andersons from California had planned a serene beach honeymoon to sip cocktail and surf the waves. Things took a spooky turn when their beach ball repeatedly circumference the bonfire, courtesy of a ghostly gust! Not the third wheel they’d hoped for, indeed!
These eerie occurrences led me to seek answers from esteemed paranormal investigator, Dr. Ichabod Veil, who opines that ghosts are attracted to ‘big life events’. He explained, “Just like us, spirits crave excitement. A wedding’s a huge social event with people crying and drama and cake – much more exciting than say, a Tuesday”.
Frankly, we’re not sure if the deceased are haunting for fun, cake, or need some marital advice. But the question remains – how to ward off these specters in the season of love? Well, the answers were as chimerical as the problem itself.
“It’s all about setting boundaries,” suggested marriage counselor Linda Lovejoy with a straight face. “Kindly but firmly, inform the ghost that it wasn’t invited to the honeymoon.” The mind boggles at the prospect of an otherworldly “Do Not Disturb” sign swinging on an astral plane!
As for newlywed couples about to embark on their dream honeymoons, Dr. Veil has a final word of wisdom, “Accept it. It’s your honeymoon, enjoy it, even if you have a spectral stow-away. Who knows, they might have some great destination recommendations!”
Behold, the latest trend in paranormal activity – the haunted honeymoon. Because after all, why should the newly-dead miss out on the marital bliss of the newly-wed or the lukewarm glamour of the haunted hotels? And remember, readers: these tales, truthful or exaggerated, remind of the unseen world entwined with our own; a world where every honeymoon suite might just be a trinity!
