The Bloody Bride of Featherstone Castle Part the First & Second


This is a preliminary attempt to capture and share this story.  There are two films in total they are labelled Part the First and Part the Second.  This tale was inspired by occurrences that have taken place at the Gnosis event at Featherstone Castle.  Gnosis has been occurring annually at the castle for five years.  The Bloody Bride has been making her appearances for more than 300 years according to some accounts.

If you have a chance to search out tales of the Bloody Bride you will see that they are usually quite brief accounts.  It was a pleasure to put flesh on the bones of this tale and to supply a few additional sections to help explain the supernatural elements of the story.  The research into the name Featherstone and into the Bloody Bride has only taken 5 years to produce this story.  We have an idea or two to increase the story and to make a better film recording of the tale.  For now this is the best version that we have to share.  In just one week Featherstone Castle will welcome Gnosis back again.  It is possible that Gnosis 2010 could be the last at Featherstone Castle.  If so at least we were able to get this story broadcast before the Gnosis goers had their last chance to see the multiple spectral apparitions of the Bloody Bride and her wedding day companions coming to Featherstone Castle to take their place at an otherworldly wedding feast.
