exclusive to DoomBuggies.com: View the only known photograph
of the infamous "Hatbox Ghost" actually positioned
in the Haunted Mansion attraction! This mysterious character
is finally revealed in this 
Now the tale will be told!
Throughout the development of the Haunted Mansion, various storylines and background stories were considered for use in the attraction - either as literal interpretations or as ideas that would inform the design of the ride. But since Walt Disney died before a firm direction was decided upon, it was up to his Imagineers to put their heads together to refocus the Haunted Mansion project and take it to completion.
Though in the end it was decided to create the attraction as a series of
vignettes designed more as sight gags than storytelling mechanisms, one
of the original stories created within the walls of WED stands out as a
dramatic tale intended to describe the family that once lived in the Mansion,
and the tragic circumstances surrounding their untimely deaths. A sea captain,
a lonely bride, and a tell-tale heart... all mixed together in a classic
ghost story that might have been.
DoomBuggies is proud to present a dramatic presentation of that story,
as recalled by Kat Cressida, who grew up hearing the tales from her father,
who worked alongside the marketers and Imagineers at Disneyland in the early
'70s. Cressida is now a voice over artist for Disney, and has come full
circle in one of her latest roles, which is the voice of Constance, the
bride currently haunting the attic in the Haunted Mansion attractions. Click
