- The Haunted Mansion. We find ourselves wandering it's cobweb-infested halls once more. This time, with 3 different titles. See if you can catch all 3. The Mansion wouldn't be what it is without the ghosts, and so today (and next week), we'll be going through every ghost in the Haunted Mansion. We'll be exploring the backstory, mythology, and folklore that surround some of our lesser known friends. Join me, if you dare.

I worked at Disneyland in the mid 1980s. On one of the cast member family nights, my husband and I were able to waltz among the ghosts below the doom buggies. Magic memories indeed.
Thst’s awesome my god
I worked at Disneyland in the mid 1980s. One on one of the cast member family nights my husband and I were able to organize amazing the ghost below the dorm Doom boogies magic memories indeed.
So did you dance in the ballroom or where the ghosts figures were? Because you can’t see the ghosts if you’re in the ballroom
Didn’t it creep you out? Ever?
Some of them wound up in knights armor just before that endless hallway as Dallin notes inn2018s Legends of the Haunted Mansion part 2 with that guy Ian
.
About hitchhiking ghosts: in the Philippines, we have a superstition called "pagpag" (literal meaning: to brush off or shake off dust) where on the way home from a cemetery, we have to stop off somewhere so any ghosts stay there instead of following us home. 24/7 convenience stores and fast food chains are the most popular choices for this practice lol.
😂😅
Always find it funny that Walt seemed to forget they were calling it The Haunted Mansion in the Disneyland TV special
I'm not sure if he's doing that because he genuinely doesn't remember, or if he's doing it so he can let the imagineer take over and introduce their own work. He seems to do it pretty regularly.
I think the house of illusions is a better title, since that is what it is.
“Museum of the Weird” was the first concept before the Haunted Mansion
@@Arquinsiel that's actually really sweet
@@wellokthen3834 It could be either thing. You'd have to ask someone who was there if there was a goal to it.
Now if only the channel knew someone like that and could find out for us...
Man I’ve always wanted a video deep dive about all the ghosts. This is a perfect video.
One of my favorite youtubers watching another of my favorite youtubers! Love your narrations. :)
This is the crossover of the century
Yeah I know it’s 2 years late but never expected to see you here.
According to an imagineer’s book I read years ago, the Hatbox ghost was “tossed around” as the ghost ofTrader Sam, who seemingly lost his head after coming to America to sell his “wares” in old hat boxes, as well as collecting those who lost their heads to guillotine. Not an official story but thought it was neat. I think it was a Rolly Crump interview 🤷🏼♀️
That definitely sounds like a Rolly Crump idea!
@@cannibalisticrequiem He’s the best. ❤️ I still want the Museum of the Weird!
According to an imagineers book I read years ago, the Hatbox ghost was tossed around as the ghost of Tanner Sam who simply lost his head after coming to America to sell his wire in the old hat box as well as a collection of those lost their head together 10 skeleton not an awful story but through it wasn't meat neat. I think it was a worry crump interview
@@tayloranderson7547 this makes zero sense, other than to reword my comment into something utterly unintelligible 🤦🏼♀️
I have heard it suggested that the totally-normal-not-evil raven is actually the host/guide as it is featured throughout the ride. The Haunted Mansion is absolutely my favourite attraction in my favourite part of the park.
the raven was originally supposed to be the host but they scrapped that idea !
Mine too
Just when you think Offhand has covered it all, he finds new things to share! Can't wait for the next Foolish Mortals!
Nice name bro 👍🏻😍
@@fatherdeerhands93 Likewise, Boba!
I always headcannoned that the man in the coffin is 100% alive and has been trapped there by the less-benevolent residents of the mansion, as a hold-over from one of the earlier mansion concepts I'm sure we're all already familiar with.
As for the ballroom, I always assumed that the two dueling portraits were the two "victims of a dirty duel" whose tombstones we can find in the queue.
The coffin man is clearly a zombie though, he's all green and skeletal :V
Yeah when I was younger I always thought it was someone falsely pronounced dead and put in a coffin and was now trapped
As the ballroom I was ashamed the two of the darling pictures into victims of the dirty dirty ordeal duel worst tombstone we could have felt in the cute q u e e u e.
I was reading that at one time they wanted the raven to be the host or something to that effect. When I was a child in the 70s, I noticed that with the exception of the entry way and the stretching room, a raven is always nearby when the Ghost Host speaks (and a raven was in the concept art for those two rooms). So it made sense to me that the Raven was carrying the Ghost Hosts spirit, he's even watching you as you leave the attic. Creepy.
I think Offhand mentions that in one of his other Haunted Mansion videos.
And what did you leave attic. Creepy
New Orleans square is so full of mystery and backstory, all the rides there feel so immersive. The Mansion is definitely the most immersive experience of all Disney rides for me.
I could not agree more. I prefer the shops and food in NOS as well. Definitely my favourite part of the park.
Expensive of old Disney rides for me
16:03
Dallin”Who is she? Where did she come from?”
My brain “Where did she go? Where did she go? Where did you come from, Cotton eye Joe?”
Where did she come from where she go? Where did she come from cotton eyed joe
Julius Caesar, Cleopatra VII, and Mark Antony: *Are ghosts cursed to haunt the haunted mansion.*
Cato the Younger, acting as the guardian of Purgatory: “Lol. Lmao.”
Seems like a disembodied phantom possessed your editing software
Yeah I noticed that too. I wander if it was on purpose?
"What is she doing with them? I don't know. Maybe delivering them to Colonel Sanders" had me legitimately laughing out loud. I don't know why I found that so hilarious.
You never know maybe Colonel Samders lives in the mansion too, making KFC for all the ghosts 😂
Ya know, after the 31 Days of The Haunted Mansion a couple of years ago, I didn't think you could come up with any new details about it. You did, and I salute you, sir.
My favorite inhabitant as a child was April December (aka the Muse) and apparently she has returned to the Disneyland Haunted Mansion! Can't wait to see her again!
Me either
6:04 the scream and the crashing sound in the stretch room always confused me it feels like an effect that was for somthing that never was built.
In some if the unused ride audio, there was also a voice yelling "caw caw he chose the coward's way" which IIRC, was supposed to also be a raven like the ones in the ride
It was supposed to be the skeleton falling to the floor and braking into pieces. Except that you do not see any bones on the floor. Maybe the skeleton is actually a phantom and the real ghost host skeleton is still in its grave?
I always imagined it was supposed to be someone being scared so badly they run through the wall, creating your path out of the stretching room and prompting the Host to apologize for frightening you prematurely.
I'm so glad you FINALLY did a video on the Haunted Mansion. Amazes me how you have ignored this attraction for so long. lol
Yeah, Dallin, you should check it out next time you visit Disneyland! I think you might enjoy it!
he's got several videos on the haunted mansion
@@kaelang12 that's why I put 'lol' at the end, he has more than a couple, he's kinda obsessed.
@@coppertopolo no, really. It's not like he mentions it in several of his other videos. Oh wait, he does.
@@carronade2456 Dallin has MOSTLY HM videos here..LO..and I appreciate 'im for that, and some other topics
Not sure if you're late for the anniversary, early for Halloween, or right on time for Friday the 13th.
Whichever it is though, it's always a treat to return to the mansion!
Dallan is doing all at once
this is SO UNDERRATED
I think it’s right on time
I mean Disney world has already started celebrating Halloween so...
Not only do I learn interesting things, I totally enjoy watching these humorous mini docs. Thanks Offhand Disney!!
what kind of relationship do you think all the ghosts have with one another? i imagine if they all hang out at the mansion that theres gotta be some type of ghost drama going on
oh and to answer the favorite ghost/disembodied voice: always gotta go with the ghost host!
Hey, thye most liekly eat at the ghost commisarry..
For real life
TBH, I was hoping you'd talk about the other ghosts of the ball room like the Birthday lady and her guests in the table, Pickwick, the organ player and the ball room dancers.
Maybe next part?
For real life
Love the use of Winchester Mystery House footage near the end.
I've watched a zillion videos and have ridden HM easily over 25 times, yet I still learned something new in this video. Well done!
Dude your Haunted Mansion deep dives are second to none 🤘🏻
The fact that 2 of my favorite places to visit(disneyland and Winchester mystery house) are connected... Is just mind blowing. Cause I didnt know that until a few years ago.
Gotta love all of the Poe references! 🙌🏻
I love all your Haunted Mansion videos especially when it's a history video, but I have a question for you, have you ever read the Tales From The Haunted Mansion books. It's a bunch of stories told by the Mansion's librarian about it's residents. There are 4 book and they are really good. This video just reminded me of them and I thought you might be interested.
Yes they are good . book
Thanks, Dallin! Perhaps the haunted mansion itself (maybe like The House of The Rising Sun etc.?), the Ghost Host or the Ghost that follows us home (as the bad pun implies) 'gets the last laugh' on us as we exit out.
I expect nothing less from you, Offhand. Good work!
Shall we call you our new ghost host. 👻 I love the opera singer!
The windows error sounds in the song loop have me on edge
A thousand views in 27 minutes. Great job, Dallin!
hi dallin when i was a cast member i was told that the raven is named lucifer or lucy and that she was originally supposed to be the host of your tour, hence why her beak opens so much and you see her throughout the attraction. the idea was scrapped but lucy lives on :)
Even as a kid my favorite was always the piano playing phantom. No idea why but that entire "room" has always had an eerie calmness to me. Especially looking out that window.
He plays my favorite arrangement of here comes the bride!
I literally never get tired of haunted mansion videos, what's wrong with me...
I've always been real interested in the background ghosts in the ballroom and graveyard (e.g. the duchess and king and queen on the teeter-totter, pickwick, the duelists, etc.) The ones you can't really get a good look at from the ride and who don't have the caliber of backstories that connie, leota, etc. have. Also the drunk guy under the ballroom table. I like him.
In one of the Haunted Mansion comics I have, the ghost holding the candles down the corridor and the zombie trying to escape the coffin were actually partners in building the mansion. But they wanted the fame of building the mansion for themselves. So the trapped each other in the mansion with no way out. The coffin zombie was, obviously, trapped in the coffin and left to die, while the ghost holding the candles was led through a maze of corridors, never to find his way out. Pretty dark, but it was a good issue!!!
watching this while drinking out of my haunted mansion mug
Doing the same!
I know you might not be interested in revisiting Sea of Thieves (or maybe you already have, just not for a video), but the 3rd Pirates of the Carribean tall tale is one you would must certainly love.
that tall tale was amazing, i loved it so much
Yes it is
This video really complimented the Haunted Mansion episode of Behind the Attraction I just watched over on Disney+.
I think you missed one literary celebrity in the ballroom -
Standing on the chandelier and toasting us with a glass of burgundy is unmistakably Charles Dicken's Mr Pickwick
Another brilliantly insightful, engaging and charming video!
You are a shining light among Disney park videographers
as a fellow mansion maniac, i am on the edge of my seat ready for the next vid
Thanks for the Navi reference. Now I’ll have ‘Hey, listen!’ stuck in my head for a month hahah.
I love that once you spend years getting into the history of the mansion, you knot only recognize all the Imagineers, you recognize who made which concept paintings.
PS, pretty sure that laughing ghost at the end is Candy Candido.
Yeah, it’s him, feelin’ mighty deep…😂🤣😆
This channel make me fall in love with the Haunted Mansion~🖤🖤
Yes! Finally another Offhand haunted mansion vid!
14:55 "this woman" is E.J Peaker. I love that Osmond haunted mansion special.
The last guys name is Chuck, he was a comedian who died doing comedy at the manor, and laughs whenever he thinks that humans are great comedy gold.
The way you say "Jean" gives me the skivvies more than ghosts ever could. 😂
Might be my favorite Offhand Disney episode! Favorite ghost though is a harder question. I might have to go with the Hellhound because he’s a good boy
Omg I had no idea about over half those ghosts! Good job dude!
The Hellhound might actually be a Grim. There's an old legend that the first person buried in any new cemetery must work as the guardian of that graveyard and help guide new arrivals into the Beyond. No one really wanted to be stuck with this job, so the community would sacrifice a dog and bury it in the new place, thus created a Grim.
Great video! One of my favorite ghosts has been the lady in the graveyard whose hand is coming out of the coffin with a martini glass. Looking forward to next week’s video!
That intro music would be perfect in a haunted mansion themed video game
This is probably my favorite video that I've ever seen on the Haunted Mansion, and I've seen A TON!
6:00 there is no purpose for the stretch room at the Disneyworld Haunted Mansion. However, the Stretch gallery at the Disneyland Haunted Mansion proved so popular, it was added to the mansion on the east Coast, prior to it's opening.
This content is *chefs kiss*
I would listen to a five hour video of you talking about every ghost, spook, and haunt.
Are we entirely sure that the totally-normal-not-evil raven isn't a familiar?
That last laugh you hear as you exit is the ghost that is following you home.
8:24 Oh that’s just Shivers the butler.
Spooktacularly cool video. Totally left a like for your hard work, dedication, and vision. I have to say my favorite ghost are of course the Phantom voice of our host. Our ghost host who welcome us foolish mortals into The Haunted Mansion. Then there is of course Madame Leota who asks you to hurry back, provided we bring our death certificates. Take care and stay spooky. 👻👻👻
The ghost host, who is also an actual spirit because Paul is dead.
I love every time you return to the Haunted Mansion for another overview...? afterview? mortalview? whatev. where we're going, we don't need words (just shrieks!)
I always loved the wraiths riding bikes! A funny twist on otherwise frightening ghosts! 😅😅
Ive been waiting for a doc style video from you... reminds me of your early stuff. Love it
At 14:47, the woman who says she does not like bats is E.J. Peaker, an entertainer hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma. She is still with us and is currently 79 years of age.
The boy next to her is Donny Osmond from the famous Osmond family of singers. Donny is currently 65 years of age. He also has a famous sister, Marie Osmond.
Maybe the laughter at the exit is one of the hitchhiking ghosts following you home?
I always thought zombies were based on the plant dust that knocks you out for a day and you can't remember what happened, except when you're told to do something you will 100% do it, no matter the morality
Excited for part two!
Offhand going "ooooooh" is my new favorite sound effect
For those who don’t know, the beloved Hatbox Ghost aka “Hattie” is being added to the Haunted Mansion in the Magic Kingdom in Orlando. He will be stationed at the endless hallway.
Excellent that the greatest specter of all the Disney haints will be taking up residence in central Florida.
Looking forward to part 2! What a great Friday the 13th video!!
Ahem, I have it on good authority that you have a Haunted Mansion ghost in a bottle somewhere in your office.
For ghosts such as the candelabra and the coffin, along with some of the later ballroom and party I like the story’s told in the slave labour graphics comic. I know a lot don’t like them or what the came up with but I always felt they added a lot to the ride.
I was going to be mad that you didn't bring back the music from the haunted mansion specials, but this is SO much better
And why am I not surprised that there is yet again another haunted mansion video……good thing I also love the mansion.
A part 2 will be worth making Dallin, not far from the 52nd Anniversary of The Haunted Mansion if this was Published on that day that would have been Awesome! The Hitchhiking Ghosts are always a Favorite including the Ghost Host and Hatbox Ghost, since I have now begun My Mickey Mouse Films here on CZcams I Actually have planned a Mickey Mouse Film with Ghosts of the Haunted Mansion in the Future that will happen! I really find this exciting and I can't wait for part 2 you and Fastpass Facts should do a Haunted Mansion Origins 3 on Jean Lafitte where he fits in with Pirates of The Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion as they are both connected together Attractions I look forward to next week
He did one!
Such an awesome video! Thank you!
Thank you for talking about the candle-holding gargoyles in the stretching portrait room elevator. I had no idea that they whisper to each other or to the guests, or that they taunt the guests or laugh at the guests or any of this. The impression that I am getting is that they only whisper to each and to guests etc. at Walt Disney World (and possibly at Euro-Disneyland and the Japanese Haunted Mansion) - possibly another Disney World exclusive - as the candle-holding gargoyles at Disneyland do not appear to whisper to each other or to the guests or taunt the guests etc. I have never heard them do that at Disneyland and I've never heard even rumors about them doing any of that at Disneyland before. There is no doubt about it: if the gargoyles at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion did any of that stuff then it would have mentioned by now. Unfortunately, I have never been to Florida or to Walt Disney World yet. I have always wanted to see the library scene and the endless staircase scene. Those have always fascinated me and look awesome! Great video, man. Thanks for everything. "Liked". 10 / 10 stars.
My other favorite video on youtube about the Haunted Mansion, like a whole history/making-of documentary has apparently been removed and I can't find it anywhere which sucks but this is a pretty good stand-in as well.
Such an incredible video. Wow.
Wow! I could go for more videos like this, you must have quite the collection of walt vids! Also that intro mansion music was a cool remix. ✨
Is the Part Two going to include the interactive queue line stuff? Because those look pretty interesting! But the inside of the ride is fun
Any day new haunted mansion content is released is a good day.
Cobwebs, creaky doors and floors? Why isn't my house filled with ghosts? Unless! It means that... my house isn't in Disneyland. Pity.
love It.. watch on the big screen tonight!!
As always I'm entertained great job keep it up
🎉🎉🎉, yay more haunted mansion stuff!!!! My favorite ghost is the hatbox ghost or the ghost blowing out his birthday cake candles
Walt is literally the best
Wow... what a cliff hanger.... awesome job!
I'm so happy there's a person who is just as obsessed with the haunted mansion as me lol
Ditto haha
Likewise!
Me too
Always making more interesting Haunted Mansion content by the day!
My only complaint is that this (as well as the upcoming part two) would have been an amazing Halloween special if you’d delayed it by a couple months.
Maybe he's got something, even, cooler in mind for Halloween. We live in hope, right?
The duelist are actually the Auctioneer and another pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean, but wearing Victorian clothes
Awesome video as always, I really loved it!!! Looking forward for part two 🦜
And remember, next time you’re eating KFC, Little Leota will be watching quietly from a corner 🤫🍗🍓
So glad you still had the audio! My favorite is the mummy! He is just so unique and fun.
You were going to get a like anyway, but I'll certainly tip a Crazy Water No. 4 and share your loss and anguish over the crash. Man... you know, I never had that kind of heartache before we had computers... [glug-glug]
Another hitchhiking ghost comes from Japanese folklore. If you happen to see a dead cat (or other animal) in the road, you are NOT to think, and especially not to say, "Aw, poor thing." The ghost of the cat will sense your sympathy, latch on to you, and follow you home where it will take up residence in your house as a "bake-neko" (this name is for cats only).
My favorite attraction. Love all the information. Thanks!
