Disney Never Wanted You to See the Haunted Mansion Like This

Dive into the behind scenes of the Haunted Mansion with these behind the scenes photos from many years ago! As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the attraction, appreciating the detail and work that goes into creating the magic seems quite fitting.

The photos below capture the figures throughout the mansion that are used to create the Pepper's Ghost effect.

5. In the graveyard these ghosts are constantly having a swinging wake.

6. These Pirates Can Sure Bust out a version of Grim Grinning Ghosts

7. Speaking of busts
