An unlucky bride is locked in a trunk during a game of hide and seek in this ghostly early silent film. The tale of The Mistletoe Bough dates back to the 18th century, and was traditionally recited at Christmas time as a ballad. Its ghostly bride, olde-worlde castle setting and shock discovery of skeletal remains make it a Gothic classic. With new music by Pete Wiggs of Saint Etienne, commissioned by the BFI player.bfi-staging.org.uk/free/film/watch-the-mistletoe-bough-1904-online |

There's a story very similar to this in the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series, I would imagine the one you posted here is where it came from.
Good story, good video!

I believe that several country houses claim to actually have the original chest.
There is a folk song about it too.
