The Haunted Wedding Dress
Although most people associate hauntings with buildings spirits can also attach to objects. In past posts I wrote about: Haunted Mirrors, a Haunted Doll called Annabelle, a haunted portrait at Shirley Plantation and recently, The Scorched Bed.
In 1849, Anna Baker was the third child of a wealthy family who lived in Altoona, Pennsylvania. She had the misfortune to fall in love with a worker without means. Her father Elias Baker, who made his fortune as an ironmaster refused to give his consent for the two to marry. He then used his power and influence to have this man kicked out of Altoona.
Anna angry refused to marry anyone else. As the years passed she became a bitter old maid. When she died in 1914 she was still living in the family home.
Before her father’s refusal, in happier times Anna had picked out a beautiful wedding gown that she intended to wear at her wedding. Within the year another Altoona debutante, Elizabeth Dysart then bought this gown. She gloated for she knew Anna had hoped to wear it.
Years later this wedding dress was given to the Blair County Historical Society who eventually donated it to a local museum. This museum is housed in what was once the Baker home.
This wedding gown is displayed in a large glass case in a second floor room that once was the dressing room off Anna Baker’s bedroom.
Witnesses have seen this dress move of its own accord--especially during full moons.
This gown has been seen swaying from side to side. One witness stated it is as if a bride is holding this gown out in front of them as they admire it in a mirror.
The dress also has been seen shaking violently to the point where staff feared the glass case would shatter harming the dress.
Investigators have searched for a draft in this room or any other possible cause but nothing has been found to explain why this dress moves.
Some feel this dress moves because Anna Baker has just reclaimed what was supposed to be hers.

Cress had an odd relationship with shame. It was stifling, suffocating, a constant noose she wore like diamonds, always threatening to tighten around her throat after every choice. But that was the odd things about shame, wasn't it? How it felt like a shadow. An echo. Always after. Always chasing, following, trailing behind. So when Cress spotted Ezra -- a surprising appearance at the Berry wedding, all things considered -- she felt the rope cinch, beginning to choke. She placed her violin down, stepping an inch closer, then a foot, until she was within earshot to manage a discordant note.
"Hello."
