The Haunted Mansion is an attraction located in [[Liberty Square]]
==History==
Like many of the original Magic Kingdom attractions, the Haunted Mansion began 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 by Goff, was titled , "Church Graveyard and Haunted House", and featured a Gothic style mansion on top of a hill. The haunted house was originally envisioned as a walkthrough attraction in which guests would see various haunted scenes. Some of the original ideas for the attraction included a ghostly sea captain who killed his wife, an unfortunate family living in the mansion, and a ghost wedding which would have featured various Disney ghosts and villains including, Captain Hook, the Lonesome Ghosts, and the Headless Horseman.
When the addition of the Haunted Mansion was planned for Disneyland. The Mansion was going to be located off a crooked alley on Mainstreet USA. Soon however the planned Mansion was moved to Frontierland, but plans for the Mansion were eventually put on hold. When Disneyland opened in 1955, The Haunted Mansion was nowhere to be found. The project was brought back however, when Walt decided in 1958 that he wanted to expand Disneyland with a new land called "New Orleans Square".
