A certain long lost resident of the Haunted Mansion is rumored to soon be returning. The story of the Hatbox Ghost is the stuff of legend. While he really existed, the special effect of his head disappearing and reappearing in a hatbox never worked as well in the ride as it did at Imagineering, so the figure was removed from the Haunted Mansion. What technology has Imagineering employed to resurrect Hattie and perfect the effect? We’ll have to wait for that answer. But Shelly Valladolid and her husband Noe have a great solution which they share in the info graphic below.
Do you remember seeing the Hatbox Ghost? If you do, you are one of the few, while he was seen by preview guests, he was removed before the official opening of the Mansion. And though he has long been gone, he’s certainly one of Disneyland’s most famous ghosts. Are you excited about his return?
