Ghosts of Disney World

What pops into your head of when someone says the words “Disney World”? Do you think of Mickey Mouse, Epcot Center, or maybe Cinderella’s Castle? One thing you in all likelihood you do not tend to think of are ghosts… other than perhaps the Haunted Mansion, that is. You might believe it is impossible that Disney World, of all places, can be haunted. Nevertheless, accounts of Disney World hauntings do exist. Here are a  couple of ghosts who have been reportedly encountered at the Park:

You could encounter many Disney World ghosts at Spaceship Earth. One ghost is a little girl with long, blond hair who’s been spotted riding in a car. Another is a young boy who loves to hang around the girl. He will run in front of her and disappear into thin air. This occurs outside during daylight hours because he is afraid of the dark.

At the Tower of Terror, there is a ghost that walks around during closed hours when visitors are not around. Whenever he is seen, he is always walking in the wrong direction. Whenever employees call him he doesn’t respond because he’s deaf. If he discovers he is noticed he’ll just disappear.

At the Pirates Of the Caribbean ride, the ghost of a former employee named George hangs out daily. When it was being built in the early 1970s, he was a welder who welded different pieces of the Pirates attraction. George was killed at the park when a beam fell on him during construction.

Every morning and evening before the ride opens and before the employees head home after closing, they say hello and good night over the PA system. There is a belief that if they do not do that, the ride will shut itself down (it’s actually done so occasionally). Ask almost anyone who has worked at this ride and they’ll probably tell you that they’ve had an encounter with George or know somebody who has.
The next time you take a trip to the happiest place on earth and would like to go on the Pirates Of the Caribbean, the Tower of Terror, Spaceship Earth, or you are simply walking down in front of Cinderella’s castle where shadow people frequent, keep an eye out and ask some employee about any Disney World ghost stories they’ve heard. Perhaps you will get lucky (or unlucky) and experience one of these Disney World hauntings yourself on your next trip to the happiest place on earth.
