(Walt Disney World, 1971) An Incredible display featuring three of the original Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World. These Ghosts appeared inside the guests' Doombuggy at the end of the ride to "follow you home." Originally each individual ghost sat on a track and moved in tandem with the Doombuggy behind the mirrors. In 2010, all the figural mirror ghosts were removed from the attraction and replaced with a video image. These three ghosts were retained and sold at the 2011 D23 Convention Auction. The ghosts were then mounted in this custom display. When activated, the ghosts move their heads and arms as "Grim Grinning Ghosts" plays. Phineas, Ezra, and Gus each measure between 22" and 33" high, and are in very good Park-used condition. The custom display measures 70.5"x28.5"x84.5" high, displaying in very good condition, with intentional distress and some slight wear to front corners. This is the Ultimate piece of Haunted Mansion memorabilia, and the only three Hitchhiking Ghosts know to have been sold by Disney. Due to size, special shipping arrangements are required. Please inquire before bidding.
