In celebration of my 500th post, I'm putting together a Who's Your Favorite Ghost in the Haunted Mansion poll. I did this with Pirates a few months ago and it was pretty entertaining. If you choose Other, please let us know which one is your favorite!

I am absolutely partial to the Candelabra ghost in that long, dim hallway.

The results are showing why the Haunted Mansion is such a well loved attraction. Very close voting so far.

I would have said the hitch hiking ghosts but since they changed the ride....the bride. I love how they have all of her past wedding stuff. Very cool now.

My favorite is the quintet. Love the expressions on their faces as they sing to you.

I have always loved those three hitchhiking ghosts -Gus, Phineas and Ezra.


There was a rumor a while back that when they did the refurbishment, they were going to add a photo at the end of the ride-with the hitchhiking ghosts.

Obviously they didn't but I thought that was a pretty cool idea.

I had to go with the one playing piano. Doesn't get much eerier than that. How I wish I could play piano just to learn that piece of music.:piano::hmghost:

I've always been partial to the attic bride. She used to freak me out when I was little. I miss the old bride with the glowing heart though. I know that one wasn't as real looking, but it's what I was used to.

Definately the Hitchhiking Ghosts. I love to see which one will go home with me. When we were there in October, I think we rode that thing about 8 times and 5 of the times I had the same ghost with me and my daughter. It was funny.:mickey:
Madame Leota is next.

I like the hitchhiking ghosts but my favorites are the 2 in the ballroom sitting up high on something (can't remember what at the moment) swaying back and forth with drinks in their hands. I don't know why, but those always make me laugh and sway along with them! I'm just glad I don't have the urge to dance along with the others below--in the doombuggies that could be dangerous (I may be filling that final spot! :blush:)

While I appreciate all the ghosts, the hitchikers remain memerable and always bring a smile to my face. :mickey:

I went with the Hitchhiking Ghosts. It's fun to see who will leave with you!

I like that one too, but I had a limit of 10 answers, and I didn't know of the best way to describe that one.

I know which one's you are talking about. Great response. I also like the ghost blowing out the birthday cake in that room.

We musicians have to stick together. :thumbsup:

Actually he is an organist; there are ghostly images that come out of the pipes as he plays. And besides, organ is a much creepier instrument. (Think of any vampire movie you've ever seen.)

My eyes are always drawn to the Dueling ghosts. That was some imagineer who came up with that idea.:thumbsup:

Another great response! My Dad is an organist, and I wanted to include the Organist ghost in the poll as well. He was a viable option as the theme song during that segment of the attraction is a ghostly organ.

I'm esteemed that those who've selected Other, have taken the time to pinpoint which specter they enjoy. This makes the post not only enjoyable, but educational.

I love the piano player!

I picked piano player, but I did not think it referred to the organist in the ballroom. I thought it referred to the shadow that is playing the piano in the music room. I didn't notice it for a really long time and when I finally did realize that there was a shadow there I was just like...wow!

My overall favorites are the ballroom dancing ghosts. I was always amazed at how they did that.

Of the ones listed in the poll, my second favorites were a tie between the dueling ghosts and the hitchhiking ghosts. The dueling ghosts took me forever to notice them, so they always bring a smile on my face now that I know they're there. The hitchhiking ghosts are just awsome :)

Definately the hitchhiking ghosts!

Something "spooky" about my trip in Sept '07...my Mom and I went on HM probably 10 times. And 9 of 10 times, we had the same hitch hiking ghost! I know the chances of that can be likely with only 3 of them but...it made it more fun to think the same ghost followed us around for 90% of our rides! :hmghost:

You're right - it referred to the shadow piano player. (The ghosts were put in chronological order)

I picked the ghost trying to come out of the coffin 'cause that's always been truly the creepiest scene to me. I think you can even smell the eucalyptus as you go by!

its one of the best parts of the ride to see which hitchhiking ghost we get! HM is my favorite ride :hmghost:

You know, I had said the piano playing ghost was my favorite (how could I not), but now I just don't know. I think the singing ghost busts are just the coolest. It is neat to see which of the hitch-hiking ghost you will get. Then again the whole ballroom scene is awesome.
