===Origin in Disneyland=== Like many of the original Magic Kingdom Adventureland opened on October 1, 1971 with three attractions- the [[Tropical Serenade]], the Haunted Mansion began [[Jungle Cruise]] and the [[Swiss Family Treehouse]], as well as an idea for Disneyland. Before the park was even built, Walt Disney and artist Harper Goff were working on an idea for a haunted house type attraction. The original sketch Safari Arcade (which wound up closing by Goff was titled, "Church Graveyard and Haunted House", and featured a Gothic style mansion on top of a hill 1972) <ref> http://blogswww.disneyomniluxe.comnet/insider/2015/06/08/the-horrifying-history-of-the-haunted-mansions-hatbox-ghost-part-1wyw/ safari.htm </ref>. The original haunted house attraction was originally envisioned as a walkthrough attraction, in which guests would see various haunted scenes Originally based on the 1950's view of exotic adventure <ref name= "DoomBuggies1"> http://www.doombuggiesexaminer.com/history1.php article/memories-of-the-magic-kingdom-adventureland </ref>. Some of the original ideas for the attraction included: a ghostly sea captain who killed his wife, an unfortunate family living in the mansionAdventureland's lush vegetation, tribal music and Pacific architecture gave the land a ghost wedding which would have featured various Disney villains including, Captain Hook, the Lonesome Ghosts, and the Headless Horseman <ref name= "DoomBuggies1"/>“jungle like” feel.

When the addition The focal point of the Haunted Mansion Adventureland was being planned for Disneyland, the Mansion was to be located off a crooked alley on Main Street <ref name= DoomBuggies1/>. Soon however, plans for the Mansion were put on hold and when Disneyland opened in 1955, The Haunted Mansion was nowhere to be found. Soon after Disneyland opened howeverSunshine Pavilion, the Haunted Mansion project which was brought back into sponsored by the spotlight. In 1958, Walt Disney decided that he wanted to create an expansion for Disneyland called “New Orleans Square”Florida Citrus Growers from 1971 until 1986. The Haunted Mansion pavilion itself was chosen as one made up of a Balinese pagoda (which marked the attractions for entrance of the new area <ref name= "DoomBuggies1"/>, Tropical Serenade) and construction began in 1962 <ref name= "DoomBuggies2"> http://www.doombuggies.com/history3.php </ref>. From the beginning however problems began to plaque [[Sunshine Tree Terrace]], home of both the Haunted Mansion. Story line problems were a constant for Citrus Swirl and the Haunted Mansion, and in 1964 DisneyFlorida Orange Grower's attention was turned towards mascot the New York World’s FairOrange Bird. Another blow to Just outside of the struggling project came in 1965 when Walt DisneySunshine Tree Terrace, from 1971 until 2000 guests could find the driving force behind Sunshine Tree that gave the project died <ref name= "DoomBuggies2"/>. With Walt gone, Imagineers were divided about what tone to give the Haunted Mansion. Imagineer Marc Davis wanted to present the ride in a comical matter (giving the attraction a lighter tone) while Claude Coats thought the Haunted Mansion should be a real haunted house with a dark and ominous tone. Eventually, Imagineers decided on a compromise. The beginning of the attraction was given a darker tone while the latter half would be more "silly" and feature a "swinging wake" snack bar its namesake <ref> http://www.doombuggiesomniluxe.comnet/history4.php </ref>. Imagineers also decided to make the Haunted Mansion a dark ride, with "Doom Buggies" as the attractions vehicles (the change from walkthrough to dark ride helped solve the problems- guest capacity) <ref> http://www.doombuggies.comwyw/history4stt.php htm </ref>.

With The original theme of the story line land was quickly expanded with the addition of "Caribbean Plaza". The new area opened to guests in 1973 and tone finally decidedwas built to house the popular dark ride [[Pirates of the Caribbean]]. Although Disney had initially not planned on building Pirates of the Caribbean, guest demand necessitated the quick construction of a copy of the popular Disneyland attraction officially <ref> http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2001/01/01/274.aspx </ref>. Other additions shortly followed, when the House of Treasure shop, the Plaza del sol Caribe and the Caribbean Arcade <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/ca.htm </ref> <ref> http://passport2dreams.blogspot.com/2006/08/caribbean-plaza-romance-of-tropics.html </ref> opened on August 9. . Pirates of the Caribbean eventually opened to guests December 15, 1969 in Disneyland1973 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/pirates-of-the-caribbean.htm </ref>. Besides adding an immensely popular attraction to the land, Caribbean Plaza also gave Adventureland island aesthetics that it did not previously have. Also of note, is the fact that prior to the construction of Caribbean plaza Adventureland and [[Frontierland]] did not connect. By extending Adventureland back towards Frontierland, Caribbean plaza allowed guests to travel between the two lands <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/9576/Visiting_the_Magic_Kingdom_in_1971 </ref>.

===Museum of The next major change to Adventureland did not come until September 1, 1997 when the Weird===Tropical Serenade closed for an extensive refurbishment <ref> https://www.waltdatedworld.com/id47.htmOne of the other ideas for the Haunted Mansion that Rolly and Walt explored</ref>. The attraction later reopened on April 5, was the Museum of the Weird1998 as The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management). The museum This updated show was similar to be a part of the entrance and queue to the Haunted Mansion. Showing guests various oddities "discovered" around the worldTropical Serenade, however the Museum of the Weird would also have doubled premise was changed so that Iago (from Aladdin) and Zazu (from The Lion King) had taken over as a restaurant (similar to Disneyland's Blue Bayou restaurant, which is connected to Disneyland's [[Pirates owners of the Caribbean]] classic musical revue <ref> http://www.doombuggiesyesterland.com/history2newmanagement.php html </ref>. Rolly Crump came up with various ideas for the museum including: coffin clocks, candle men, man-eating plants, tiki busts, a mirror with a face, and a "living gypsy cart". With the death of Walt Disney and the subsequent uncertainty about the tone of the attraction however, the Museum of the Weird portion of the attraction was eventually scrapped.

Although the Museum The addition of the Weird Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New management) was never built, ideas followed by another major Adventureland expansion in 2001. Taking inspiration from the museum can be found within Disney movie Aladdin, an Arabian Bazaar was added to the Haunted Mansion itselfland <ref> http://disneyology. Examples blogspot.com/2010/03/dissecting-disneys-lands-adventureland.html </ref>. This new section featured the ride [[The Magic Carpets of this includeAladdin]] and two new shops, Agrabah Bazaar and Zanzibar Trading Company. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a hub and spoke attraction similar to the popular [[Dumbo the Flying Elephant]] attraction in [[Fantasyland]]. Located in front of the Sunshine Pavilion, the Arabian Village expansion also once again changed the theme of Adventureland, adding desert oasis to the land’s motif <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/adv.htm </ref>.

During the time the Haunted Mansion was being finalized in DisneylandOn March 12, plans were made for the creation of an identical version in (the not yet open) Magic Kingdom. Unlike 2015 the Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion however[[Sunshine Tree Terrace]] and [[Aloha Isle]] switched locations, the Haunted Mansion in Walt Disney World was set in the American Northeast, not New Orleans (due to the fact that Liberty Square replaced New Orleans Square in the parks design). The change in location is evident when looking at the attraction’s architecture which took on a colonial or Hudson River Valley style although they kept their respective menus <ref> http://www.haunteddimensions.raykeimdisneyfoodblog.com/index335.html <2015/ref>. The Haunted Mansion opened with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971 <ref> http:03/12/thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.comnews-aloha-isle-and-sunshine-tree-terrace-switch-places-in-disney-worlds-magic-kingdom/disneyworldgrandopening.html </ref>.

If guests choose the left side however, they can experience what Disney calls the new "graveyard queue". ===The Family of Busts===If guests choose the graveyard queue, one of the first things that they see is closure came amidst a family series of marble bustspark-wide cutbacks. Besides showing the faces of the various family members, the busts also a depiction of a small weapon, and a humorous epitaph. When guests pass, each bust will whisper a clue as to who killed them. It is up to guests to solve the mystery and find out who killed who. The family is comprised of (epitaph in quotes):

Shrunken Ned's Crypt. Here, musical instruments are carved into both sides of the crypt Junior Jungle Boats opened in 1997 and when they are pushed; the instrument plays a portion of the attractions theme song "Grim Grinning Ghosts". One side of the crypt features basic instruments (such as those used by the band closed in the graveyard scene), while the other side features more ghoulish looking instruments2012 <ref> http://www.

Tropical Serenade ran from opening day 1971 until September 1, 1997. It was then re-themed before reopening as the Sea CaptainsEnchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management).

When looking at '''[[Sunshine Tree Terrace]]-''' Located directly across from the Sea CaptainSwiss Family Treehouse, guests will notice that his arms, leg and hat are all sticking out of his green crypt. The crypt seems to be full of water, and water flows out of cracks in the crypt Sunshine Tree Terrace serves citrus specialties and squirts guests as they walk byslushies. The Sea Captain popular Citrus Swirl can be also heard singing a "drunken sailor" song, and from time to time even sneezes, shooting water everywherepurchased here. On the more morbid side, the Sea Captain can also be heard drowning as bubbles rush to the top of the crypt. Finally, if guests try to plug one of the many holes in the crypt, another one will begin to leak. [[Image:sea.jpg|350px|thumb|The Sea Captain's crypt]]

===The Library Crypt===The final crypt guests come across in the Haunted Mansion queue is the library crypt. Two sides '''[[Aloha Isle]]- '''Located outside of this crypt look like the bookcases found inside the mansionWalt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, which hold haunted books that move in Aloha Isle sells ice cream and out by themselvesother snacks.

The original graveyard in the Haunted Mansion queue is still in place, however during the 2010 refurbishment the headstones that paid homage to Marc Davis and X Atencio have been moved from the hillside to the middle of the interactive queue. Likewise, the tombstone marking the resting place of Master Gracey has been moved into the queue. Added to the hillside graveyards were headstones for Gus, Erza, and Phineas (the Hitchhiking Ghosts) and Neb Nub (one of the singing busts found in the Graveyard scene).  For more information about the graveyard including a list of the tombstones and their meaning go to the [[Haunted Mansion Tombstones]] page. ==Attraction PlotEntertainment==The Haunted Mansion is a dark ride which takes guests through an aging mansion, where 999 ghosts live and roam about.===The Foyer=== The first room that guests see when entering the Haunted Mansion is the Foyer. The Foyer has orange wall paper, wood finish, and is dimly lit by candle chandeliers. Although not seen, guests may notice an organ playing in the background. On the left side of the Foyer is a fireplace with a portrait of a young man hung above it. If guests watch the portrait they will see that the man appears to be aging before their eyes, slowly turning from a young man into a rotting, skeletal corps. In the Foyer the Ghost Host greets guests for the first time, saying: {{Quotation|"When hinges creak in doorless chambers. When strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker when the air is deathly still... That is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight."}} To hear the Ghost Host speak to guests in the Foyer click play below:<flashmp3>Foyer.mp3</flashmp3> ===The Stretching Room=== After the Ghost Host introduces guests to the Haunted Mansion, they are ushered into an octagonal gallery known as The Stretching Room. This room features vertically stripped wallpaper and menacing green gargoyles. The room also has four seemingly normal portraits of unknown people hanging on the walls. Inside the room the Ghost Host once again speaks to guests saying:  {{Quotation|"Welcome! Foolish Mortals, to the haunted mansion, I am your host, your ghost host. Hmmmm. Our tour begins here, in this gallery. Here where you see paintings of some of our guests, as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state. Kindly step all the way in please, and make room for everyone. There’s no turning back now!}} As the Ghost Host speaks, the walls begin stretch upwards, and the portraits are elongated to show to show their true nature. Far from the mundane images that they initially appeared to be, the portraits are actually a depiction of various Haunted Mansion "resident’s" deaths. When the room stops stretching, the Ghost Host says: {{Quotation|"Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this haunted room actually stretching? Or is it your imagination, hmm? And consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows, and no doors. Which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out!...Of course, there's always my way!"}} [[Image:Stretching.jpg|thumb|350px|The full portraits guests see after the room has "stretched". ]] At this point, lighting flashes above the room to show the corpse of the Ghost Host hanging in the rafters (having apparently committed suicide). Finally, during the 2007 refurbishment of the Haunted Mansion, the gargoyles that light the room were given dialog. After the Ghost Host tells guests to "stay together please" the gargoyles whisper "stay together" and then giggle like haunted children. To hear the Ghost Host's narration in the Stretching Room click play below:<flashmp3 id="3">ghosthoststretching.mp3,ghosthoststretching2.mp3,ghosthoststreching3.mp3</flashmp3> ===The Loading Area===After leaving the stretching room, guests enter the loading area. Here they board their "Doom Buggies" and begin to ride through the Mansion. On the walls inside the loading area are eight of the eleven "Sinister Pictures". The Sinister Pictures are the portraits whose eyes seem to follow guests as they move, however since relocating to the loading area this effect has not been in use. The Ghost Host gives riders instructions in the Loading Area saying: {{Quotation|"Do not pull down on the safety bar please, I will lower it for you. Heed this warning, the spirits will materialize ONLY if you remain quietly seated, at all times. Oh yes, and no flash pictures please, we spirits are frightfully sensitive, to bright lights."}} To hear the loading area narration click play below:<flashmp3>Load.mp3</flashmp3> ===The Library and Music Parlor=== Now in their Doom Buggies, guests exit the loading area and go up a stairwell which leads to a landing. Here two more of the sinister portraits can be found, and various "changing pictures" can be seen. The changing pictures appear to normal enough at first, but when lightning strikes the pictures become much more ghoulish (an example of this: A portrait of a young lady changes into a portrait of Medusa when the lightning strikes). Guests also can see a floating candelabrum in the room, a precursor of things to come. The first room that guests tour in the mansion is the Library. In the library, books seem to be flying about by themselves, and unseen ghosts stand on rocking ladders moving books between the shelves. Nearby, another ghost is seemingly reading on a rocking chair in the corner of the room. The Ghost Host introduces the library to guests by saying: {{Quotation| "Our library is well stocked with priceless first editions, only ghost stories of course, hmhmh. And marble busts, of the greatest ghost writers, the literary world has even known."}} As guests pass by, the marble busts of the ghost writers seem to turn their heads and follow guests as they move through the library, and into the music parlor. The music parlor is a small room located after the library. In it, a rundown piano plays a somber version of Grim Grinning Ghosts (the attractions theme song). Although guests cannot see the ghostly piano player, his shadow can be seen on the floor. Outside the window, a storm is brewing and guests can see what appears to be a forest outside. To hear the narration in the library click play below:  <flashmp3 id="2">Ghosthostlibrary.mp3</flashmp3> ===The Staircases & Endless Hallway=== When the Haunted Mansion was renovated in 2007, a new scene was added to the attraction. Known as the staircase scene, the new room is located after guests leave the music parlor but before they reach the Endless Hallway. The staircase room is a space filled with various staircases and doorways that apparently lead to other dimensions. The staircases look like a maze, and some even seem to defy gravity, as they twist and turn, and even go upside down. On the staircases, ghostly glowing footprints appear going up or down the stairs, before fading away.  When leaving the music room and entering the staircase scene, the Ghost Hosts makes an offer to guests: {{Quotation|"They have all, retired here to the Haunted Mansion, actually we have 999 happy haunts here, but there's room for one thousand. Any volunteers?? If you should decide to join us, final arrangements, may be made at the end of the tour."}} After seeing the staircase scene, the Doom Buggies move past the Endless Hallway. The hallway seems to go on forever, and only a floating single candelabrum populates the hall. Next to the halls entrance is a moving suit of armor, which used to house a cast member who would jump out and scare guests. To hear the Staircase narration click play below:<flashmp3>Staircase.mp3</flashmp3> ===Conservatory===As the Doom Buggies move onward, the Doom Buggies spin, so that they are now facing backwards. Guests then enter a decrepit conservatory, which now only holds plants are all dead and the flowers have rotted. In the middle of the room a wooden coffin is laid with a banner that says "Farewell”. A large raven settles on the coffin and squawks as the corpse inside begins to push its way out. As guests pass by, the corpse inside begins to yell "let me outta here!", but the Doom Buggies continue on. ===The Corridor of Doors===[[Image:coridor.jpg|thumb|350px|The matriarch of the family in the Corridor of Doors]]After leaving the conservatory, guests find themselves in the mysterious Corridor of Doors. The wallpaper in the corridor is filled with demon eyes, which seem to be watching the Doom Buggies as they pass. Also on the walls are various ghoulish family portraits which show different skeletons, ghosts and corpses. A sign next to the portraits reads "Tomb Sweet Tomb". A portrait of note features The Ghost Host wearing a noose around his neck as his shadow lifts a hatchet.  As the Doom Buggies move down the hall, guests will notice they are surrounded by various doors. The doors seem to be holding something inside, and some of the knobs begin to turn. Knocking, moaning, pounding and even begging can also be heard, and even the doors themselves seem to be breathing. The last door guests see has two skeletal hands coming out from behind it, and a strange green light which illuminates the doorway.  The Ghost Host once again speaks to guests in the Corridor of Doors saying:  {{Quotation|We find it delightfully unlivable here in this ghostly retreat, every room has wall-to-wall creeps, and hot and cold, running chills! Ssshhhh, listen..."}} The final thing that guests see before leaving the Corridor of Doors is a glowing grandfather clock. The hour hand of the clock reads 13, and the minute hand is seen spinning out of control. The clock has bones for hands, and a demonic tail as its pendulum. The head of the clock looks like it has horns, and fangs that engulf the face. As guests pass, a shadow of a large claw swings over the face of the clock, giving the allusion that a large beast is swooping over the Doom Buggies. To hear the Corridor of Doors narration click below: <flashmp3>Corridor.mp3</flashmp3> ===The Séance Room=== After escaping the Corridor of Doors, guests find themselves in quiet parlor. The Doom Buggies encircle a lone table sitting in the middle of the room, which features a floating crystal ball holding the disembodied head of Madam Leota. Madam Leota chants from inside the ball, trying to make a connection with the various ghosts in the mansion (One of her chants goes "Rap on a table, itCaptain Jack Sparrow's time to respond, send us a message from far beyond!). As Madame Leota chants her incantations, glowing objects and other items begin to fly around the room. If guests look closely at Madame LeotaPirate Tutorial's table, they will notice her spell book is open to page 1313. This page shows the Grim Reaper, while page 1312 shows that Hatbox Ghost and one of the Hitchhiking Ghosts. The Ghost Host then tells guests: {{Quotation| "The happy haunts have received your sympathetic vibrations, and are beginning to materialize. They're assembling for a swinging wake, and they'll be expecting me. I'll see you all, a little later."}} Before advancing to the Grand Hall, guests may also notice that there seems to be a green specter in the corner of the room.  To hear the Séance Room narration click play below: <flashmp3>Saence.mp3</flashmp3> [[Image:Leota.jpg|thumb|350px|Madame Leota in the Séance Room]] ===The Grand Hall (Ballroom)===After leaving the Séance Room, guests enter perhaps the most famous scene in the Haunted Mansion, The Grand Hall (also known as the Ballroom). Here ghosts have begun to gather for a "swinging wake" (apparently arriving by hearse). The Doom Buggies actually look down into the Ballroom where guests can see ghostly couples waltzing as they disappear and reappear. An organist plays a crazed version of the attractions theme "Grim Grinning Ghosts", on a large pipe organ. When the organist strikes the keys, ghostly banshees come flying out of the pipes, and then disappear. On the right side of the room, various ghosts have gathered around a table to celebrate a birthday party. The cake has 13 candles, and at the ghost sits at the end of the table is apparently the ghost of honor. Directly across from him sits the ghost of Caesar himself. Two drunk ghosts (an Egyptian and a solider) are seen swinging on the chandelier, while another ghoul lays under the table. Another ghost can be seen hanging on the chandelier by his cane. Various other specters pepper the room, including one sitting on the mantle of the fireplace (who shoots flames out his mouth) and an elderly ghost sitting in the corner of the room knitting. If guests look up above the Ballroom they will see two portraits of duelists. The ghosts of these duelists emerge from their paintings from time to time and shoot pistols at each other. After passing the Ballroom, the Doom Buggies head upstairs to the attic. ===The Attic=== Following the Ballroom scene, the Doom Buggies go up one floor to the attic. Here guests see a crammed and dusty room full of wedding gifts and furniture. As the Buggies progress, guests see five wedding portraits of Constance Hatchaway and her different husbands. Next to each portrait are wedding gifts, which seem to increase in quality after each subsequent marriage. The portraits include: *Ambrose Harper & Constance Hatchaway (1869) *Frank Barks & Constance Hatchaway (1872) (If guests look closely at the cabinet near this portrait, they will see a female porcelain French aristocrat looking down on a fallen porcelain man, whose head has been removed.) *Marquis de Doom & Constance Hatchaway (1874) *Reginal Gaine & Constance (1875) *George Hightower & Constance (1877) -- (This may be the same George who's tombstone we see in one of the stretching room pictures. In the stretching room a widow sits atop a gravestone reading “Beloved George”, with a hatchet in it.)  When the Doom Buggies pass each portrait the head of the grooms disappear. The story goes that, Constance married and killed her husbands in order to gain money and social status. In fact, if guests look closely at Constance in the portraits they will notice that she gains a string of pearls after each husband. After passing all 5 portraits, guests come face to face with Constance herselfinteractive show features Captain Jack Sparrow, who is wearing a wedding dress and standing near the window. When the Buggies go by her, she says ominous phrases (such as: "Tell DEATH do us part"). While in the attic, guests may notice that a melancholy version of Wagner's Bridal Chorus can trains young would-be heard (swashbucklers the only song besides Grim Grinning Ghosts heard in the attraction). After passing Constance, the Doom Buggies "escape" from the attic and fall below into the graveyard. NOTE: It has been suggested by some, that guests actually "die" after falling out way of the attic, thus allowing them to see the ghosts celebrating in the graveyardpirate. This has neither been confirmed nor denied by the Disney Company however.  To hear Constance's ominous vows click play below: <flashmp3>Bride.mp3</flashmp3> ===The Graveyard=== Following the close encounter with Constance, the Doom Buggies fall out the window and turn backwards. When they land on the ground, ghosts appear to be flying all around and guests now find themselves at the gates to a graveyard located near the mansion. Outside the gates, a caretaker named Dick O’Dell quivers in fear as his dog "Boney" whimpers. After passing some scary looking trees, guests enter the graveyard where the ghosts seem to be having a party. A ghost band known as the Phantom Five play a jazzy version of "Grim Grinning Ghosts", as various other paranormal beings enjoy themselves. The Phantom Five is made up of a drummer (banging on headstones), a flutist, a harpist, a bagpipe player, and a horn player. Various cats and owls harmonize with the band, and demon dogs can be heard howling in the distance. Near the band, a king and queen teeter on see-saw, while a duchess sips tea behind them.  As the Doom Buggies move through the Graveyard, they pass a group of singing marble busts. Located on the guest’s right hand side, these marble busts sing (and express) the song "Grim Grinning Ghosts". All around the graveyard, ghosts pop up and try to scare guests, while other specters simply enjoy the party. Those enjoying the party include, a mummy who is drinking tea, a Renascence era oracle, and various ghosts riding bicycles around tombstones.  Further down the graveyard an executioner, his victim (a headless knight) and the prisoner Hitchhiking Ghost stand singing. Standing next to the executioner are two opera singers. The female is overweight with pig tales and is wearing a Viking helmet, while the male is thin and wears a mustache. Near the opera singers, a skeleton is seeing paving a crypt, entrapping himself inside. After traveling through the graveyard, guests come across another crypt, leading to the attractions final scene. To hear the marble busts singing in Graveyard click belowFor showtimes [https: <flashmp3>Graveyard.mp3</flashmp3> ===The Crypt and Unloading=== Upon entering the crypt the Ghost Host once again joins the guests: {{Quotation|"Aaahh, there you are! And just in time, there’s a little matter I forgot to mention, beware of hitchhiking ghosts! They have selected you to fill our quota, and they'll haunt you until you return! hahahaha"}}/disneyworld.[[Image:Hitchikingdisney.jpg|thumb|350px|The Three Hitchhiking Ghosts: The Prisoner (left), The Skeleton (center) and the Traveler (right)]]While hearing this warning, guests pass by the three hitchhiking ghosts (the prisoner, the skeleton, and the traveler) before venturing further into the crypt and encountering a mirror. When guests look into the mirror, they will notice that they are no longer alone. One of the three hitchhiking ghosts will be seen inside the Doom Buggies, and will interact with the guests (for example one of the ghosts will switch two of the rider’s heads). The names given to the Hitchiking Ghosts by fans are: Gus (left), Ezra (skeleton), and Phineas (traveler). These names were seemingly legitimized when headstones with these names were added to the Haunted Mansion queue in 2010.  After exiting the crypt, guests reach the unloading area where a ghostess says that she can make "final arrangements for you". Following her speech, the Ghost Host tells guests one final thing: {{Quotation| Now, I will raise the safety bar, and a ghost will follow you home!}} To Hear the Crypt and Unloading narration click play below:  <flashmp3>Cryptgo.mp3<com/flashmp3> <flashmp3>Unload.mp3<entertainment/flashmp3> ==Post Show=====Bluebird ===After exiting the Haunted Mansion guests pass the tomb of Bluebeard himself.
