Introduction

Disneyland in Anaheim, CA has been a beloved theme park for over 60 years. Eighteen million people visit the park each year. However, the “Happiest Place on Earth” hasn’t been happy for all. Some have met their mortal doom within the property, and their souls have lingered in the park. While people are enjoying their vacation, they probably don't realize they are walking on ghostly ground. Was that the California breeze gently blowing past, or was it a spirit walking by them? This book tells about the last moments of those people, and how they now haunt various attractions throughout Disneyland today. These stories have various points-of-view; hear some stories as a next day news report, listen to others in a third-person flashback, and hear from the victims themselves as they tell their story.

The Haunted Mansion may get all the credit for having 999 ghosts in residence, but the whole park is teeming with spirits, seeking revenge on the very attractions that sent them to their demise. As you read these stories, take note of the mistakes of the victims. If you're not careful, you could follow in their phantom footsteps. Hear about the ghost rider who zooms along with passengers at Space Mountain. Find out about the boy who unleashes his wrath on the Matterhorn. Read about how one woman gives Big Thunder Mountain its catchphrase.

Over the years, new areas and rides of the park are added, while others are torn down. While every attraction mentioned in this Storybook is still active, workers booted some spirits from their attraction as they destroyed them, and could be wandering the park, searching for a new place to call home. While one attraction may not be haunted now, watch your back because a ghost may decide to inhabit it in the future. So browse, if you dare, and hear about the ghosts of Disneyland.
