Haunted theme parks for Halloween 2022

I've come to the point in my week of Halloween posts to share an entry about theme parks. Instead of writing about spooky and scary attractions like the Haunted Mansion, Phantom Manor, or The Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror, I'm going to write about the alleged hauntings of theme parks, beginning with Offhand Disney's Top 5 Ghost Sightings at Disneyland.

Ghosts are spooky and scary, sure. They're fun when you're on the Haunted Mansion gliding through the ballroom, laughing as they swing from the lighting fixtures. But sometimes, those ghosts leave the Mansion. I'm not talking animatronics either.

Disneyland isn't the only southern California theme park that is reputed to be haunted. Fastpass Facts asked Is Universal Studios HAUNTED? (UNSOLVED MYSTERIES).

Do you think Universal Studios Hollywood is haunted? Today we're taking a look at some of the most creepy and terrifying ghost stories from the park as we try to solve if the park is haunted or if is it just the overactive imaginations of scared people. What do you think?

These stories mostly tie into the history of Universal Studios as an actual movie studio, not as the theme park it has become. The exception seems to be the sightings around "The Revenge of the Mummy" ride, including the Holloween Horror Nights maze, which are a little too on the nose. Even those seem to date back to the first half of the 20th Century, when it was a working studio with public tours. I'd have to see if there are any stories like this for Universal Studios Florida, which does not share that history.

However, that doesn't seem to stop scary stories being told about Walt Disney World, which is 19 years older than Universal Studios Florida. Watch AllEars.net's tell about Ghosts and Urban Legends of Disney World.

When you’re dreaming about Walt Disney World, there are a lot of words you might use to describe the way you feel.

Happy. Joyful. Excited. Terrified.

Wait what? Sorry. Terrified?

Yep! It turns out there‘s some scary stuff that’s happened within the gates of Walt Disney World. Magic Kingdom. EPCOT. Hollywood Studios. Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You might not think these happy places have scary secrets. But The Ghosts and Urban Legends of Disney World might change the way you feel about these parks forever.

I couldn't stay away from science fiction ideas like Walt Disney's frozen head, which isn't true because he died before that technology became available (yes, there are real-life corpsicles, but Walt isn't one of them) and actual scary attractions. As for how seriously I take these stories, I'll repeat what I wrote about astrology: "I consider all of this harmless but fun nonsense that I'm presenting for entertainment purposes only."

As I have for the rest of this year's (and last year's) Halloween entries, I'm closing with a drink recipe video. Today, it's Spooky Halloween Cocktails | Disney Recipes from Angie Bellemare.
