Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando is such an amazing experience, that some guests (and workers) never want to leave.
The ghost of a dead employee has haunted the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for decades, cast members used to tell the guests. George gets cranky if he is disrespected and will shut the ride down with mysterious breakdowns. Other ghost stories from the cast members include:
A guest who died on Space Mountain in the 1970s will apparently grab empty seats to ride again.
A 4-year-old boy who died on the Mission Space ride at Epcot in 2005 seemingly manifests through cold spots and shuttle doors closing at odd times.
A “bellhop” cast member who reportedly died of an attack in the Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios now haunts the ride, causing flickering lights and ghostly appearances in the Platform D elevator.
But the creepiest thing might be the sheer amount of human ashes that guests try to sneak in and spread at the Haunted Mansion to honor a loved one’s last, quirky wishes.
“The Haunted Mansion probably has so many human ashes in it that it’s not even funny,” one Disneyland custodian told the Wall Street Journal.
