3. The really Haunted Mansion (Magic Kingdom)

It's inevitable that stories about real ghosts occupying that Haunted Mansion have gained traction among Disney fanatics. And it is actually true that some guests have tried (and possibly succeeded) to spread the ashes of departed family members while riding the various versions of the attraction around the globe. One visitor claims to have seen the ghost of a young boy in the Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion, perhaps as a result one of these ashes-spreading incidents. The boy showed up riding a Doom Buggy, despite having never boarded the ride.

2. The young pirate (Pirates of the Caribbean, Disneyland)

Walt Disney World's version of Pirates of the Caribbean is not alone in having a resident spirit. According to legend, the Disneyland original has its own ghostly occupant, too. In this case, it's the ghost of a young boy who (just like the boy in the Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion) resides in the ride as a result of his mother scattering his ashes in the ride's waters. The boy is said to come out to play when the attraction is closed for the night, with Cast Members claiming to have heard laughter when there is nobody else around. This is a rare case of a ghost who is said to move from attraction to attraction - the boy is also claimed to have been spotted towards the end of the Haunted Mansion.

1. The ghost of Walt (Main Street USA, Disneyland)

There are plenty of urban legends about Walt Disney - the most well-known being that after his death, his body was cryogenically frozen and stored underneath Pirates of the Caribbean. That ties in nicely with another legend...that Walt still "lives" in his apartment above the Firehouse on Main Street USA, waiting for the day his body can be revived. Walt is said to have been seen in the window of the apartment, as well as in a storage area above the Emporium and in the old Disney Gallery above Pirates of the Caribbean.
