The Tales of George and Mr. One-way.

I know that usually, I am Walt's Frozen Head, but today...When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still — that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!
Welcome, foolish mortals, to my next blog post! I am your host, your ghost host.
Kindly read all the way through, and make room for everyone in the comments.

There’s no turning back now. Our post begins here in this introduction, where you see this post will be all about the paranormal rumored to be around the parks, of course, as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state.

Some of the rumored, and most famous haunts of both Disney World and Disneyland include Walt Disney, George, The Woman in White, Mr.One-way, Dolly, Haunted Mansion Disneyland ( Little Boy) thought to be from an ash scattering, Debbie Stone,  and the Boy from the Haunted Mansion in DisneyWorld.

Though all have interesting stories today I will just be focusing on George and Mr. One-way.

Starting out with George (Haunts Pirates of the Carribean in Disney World)- Though there have been many deliberations on if his story is one of truth or lore, there is one thing known for sure, it was based on a real person and a real story (unfortunately that story has been a little muddled over the years).  But here is his story:
George is said to be the ghost of a Disney Imagineer who died in the early ’70s while working on (welding) a piece in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction so it could open in the Magic Kingdom.

This sad story has changed a bit over the years, but that is the general gist of it.

Some say he was crushed. Other versions of the story say he fell from the top of the attraction’s burning city in one of the final big scenes. It varies.

From this point on, Cast Members have said to have seen a ghostly apparition on ride monitors in Pirates of the Caribbean, but nothing ever in real life. They’ve also heard mysterious footsteps or phone calls from the control room when no-one is in there.

But the big kicker that maybe you have heard of is that:

Cast Members also make sure to do something every single day. Every morning, someone tells George “good morning” and in the evening, someone tells George “good night” over the PA system.

 Well, there are reasons for those actions.

It is said that if George is not told “good morning,” the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction will have issues throughout the day with breakdowns and more. If George isn’t wished “good night,” the attraction has been known to come on overnight and certain parts be running the next morning.

He’s not vindictive or a mean ghost. George just wants people to recognize that he is there.

Cast Members at Pirates of the Caribbean aren’t the only ones that can be affected or visited by George.

It’s been said before that guests complaining about the attraction or making fun of it or looking for it to be over quicker…well, they’ve often been the victim of a breakdown while riding it.

Appearances or experiences with George have been said to have been felt or seen all throughout Pirates of the Caribbean.

There is one spot in particular though…where George is said to hang out more than others and it is indeed in the final big room with the burning city. He is said to often make guests feel his presence or a chill when they are next to Pirate Pig and almost underneath the drunken pirate with the hairy leg.

The only picture that has been posted online really claiming that they have captured George in a photo is from an online forum-er known as Marlyng posted this photo from mid-2013 of herself and her brother. It was taken in the first set of caverns as you go through the mist flowing down with Blackbeard’s image on it. She said she captured a “spirit” sitting between them. This, of course, could be a total coincidence, but it is pretty much the only documented photo that claims to be of George. This one is heavily debated within the Disney community because of the fact that depending from cast member to cast member the existence of George's ghost changes, it all depends on who you ask that day.



Mr. One-Way (Haunts Disneyland's Space Mountain)-
Mr. One-Way is known to join single passengers on Space Mountain, and although some speculate that the evidence behind this mystery is just old cameras being faulty, Also, people have reported seeing a man with reddish hair and a red face. He usually gets into a seat next to a single rider. By the time the ride ends, the man has disappeared. Supposedly, this is the ghost of a man who died on the ride in the 1970s. They call him "Mr. One Way" and he is also sometimes seen in the Cast Member locker rooms in the Space Mountain building.

Though I couldn't find good photos here's a link to a video that I think shows the "ghost" the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwwu2nk9x9Q
