When hinges creek, in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls& Wherever candlelights flicker, though the air is deathly still; that is the time, when ghosts are present--practicing their terror, with ghoulish delight! Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion&

For anyone who has had the lucky opportunity to visit Disneyland or Walt Disney World, this narration may sound eerily familiar. Since the Haunted Mansions first opened in 1969 this popular and ghostly attraction has captured the imaginations of guests from all over the globe. And if youre like most of the other guests, you spend a lot of the ride thinking How did they do that?

Now is your chance to find out. Following the popularity of his website Doombuggies.com, Jeff Baham has created The Secrets of Disneys Haunted Mansion as the ultimate guide for fans of this popular ride. The book itself is quite interesting, offering all sorts of facts, trivia, and tales related to the Haunted Mansion. Complete with a ride-through of the attraction, the never-before told backstory of the Mansion (how many of you have heard of The Museum of the Weird?), a section on popular Mansion collectables, and tons of behind-the-scenes photos, this is a guide you dont want to pass up.

Whether youre a Haunted Mansion veteran, or just a curious newbie, this quick read is an excellent look inside the ride. Great for Halloween reading, or any day of the year.
