===The Stretching Room===
After the Ghost Host introduces guests to the Haunted Mansion, guests are ushered into an octagonal gallery known as The Stretching Room. The room features verticly stripped wallpaper and menacing green gargoyles. The room also features four seemingly normal portraits of a unknown people. The Ghost host once again speaks to the guests 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 frighfully sensitive, to bright lights."}}
 
===The Library===
 
Now in their Doom Buggies, guests exit the loading area, go up a stairwell and enter 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 in a portrait of Medusa when the lightning strikes). Guests also can see a floating candelabrum in the room, a sign 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. Ghosts are also present in the room as unseen ghosts who stand on rocking ladders to reach and move books to and from the shelves. Another ghost is seemingly reading on a rocking chair in the corner of the room. The Ghost host introduces the library to the guests 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."}}
 
The marble busts of the ghost writers seem to turn 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.
