Hidden Hauntings – 10 Things You Might Have Missed on the Haunted Mansion
1. A Mysterious Voice Our last entry is one only the Disney historians may know, but all should take note. Upon exiting the ride, there is a large mausoleum towering next to the exit gate. Much like the graveyard queue, on each stone is written a humorous phrase about the deceased. One of these stones reads: “Farewell forever, Mister Free

2. The Hidden Hitchhiker Along with hiding Easter eggs and references in their works, Disney is also known for recycling certain elements and sequences in their materials. This can be seen in films like The Aristocats, The Jungle Book, and Robin Hood; but it can also be seen in The Haunted Mansion. The graveyard is home to several “pop up

3. Phantoms of Fantasia In the ride, as one falls backward out of the attic scene and toward the famous Haunted Mansion graveyard, a swirling series of ghost projections are shown in the sky.

Any Disney historian or magic aficionado will tell you how the illusion is created by an old magicians trick called Pepper’s Ghost, an illusion created by using a mirror and glass.

7. The Maddest of Hatters Any Haunted Mansion fan will tell you that one of the most favored Happy Haunts is the infamous Hat Box Ghost. This shady specter is most often found at The Haunted Mansion in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square, but he can also be seen in the mansion at The Magic Kingdom.

8. Moonlight Maestro This one took me by surprise on my last visit. As the Doom-Buggie travels through the hallway, it pulls guests by an old piano that appears to be playing by itself. Self-playing instruments are nothing new in the field of haunted houses. There’s practically an invisible marching band in Madame Leota’s seance room. How
