Yeah, I read about those deaths, too. However, those both took place at Disneyland, not World. There have been somewhere around 12 guest deaths at Disneyland, and only 1, maybe 2 at DisneyWorld. I could easily look these up, but I'm just that lazy. :lol:
All but one of the Disneyland deaths took place because the guest was at fault. The only one that didn't involved one of the dock tie downs at the Riverboat. It broke loose and went flying through the crowd of guests waiting to board and struck the wife, and then the husband. Sad stuff.

whereabouts could I find this information?
I was also wondering if you could possibly direct me to the exact place where the Skyway worker fell to his death. yes, i know... morbid, but I'm curious. I was under the impression he was simply pushed off the platform.
PS - Static and blues - yes, I worked up the list so I could know where to go when I do go lookin' for ghosts. it will come with me. =)

Here are a few links, some are more credible than others. Take them for what they're worth:
www.urbanlegends.com/death/disney_deaths.html
www.snopes.com/disney/parks/deaths.htm
www.anomalies-unlimited.com/DisDeaths.html
The snopes one is probably the best, IMO.

Howdy!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. However, as rare as those occurances take place, it's still such a sad thing to see stuff like that happen when the #1 priority when at Disney is to have the time of your life.
As I said, though, most of the time, nearly all, it's because the guest is doing something extremely unsafe.

I must stink. I never get those weirded out feelings. Even when we were playing in the woods at 2am in fort wilderness.
I live in new orleans and never see ghosts or anything. Took the haunted history of new orleans tour and although interesting, it didn't spook me the least. Maybe I'm immune, from watching hardcore horror movies since I was 5.:lookaroun
I guess I would be scared ####less if an anctal ghost approached me, don't get me wrong.

Snopes is great, but that's only Disneyland stuff. and I trust Anomalities Unlimited about as far as I can throw it, which I suspect would be not far. and the other link is written with a rather unnerving glee that makes it hard to swallow. AND it's about DL, not WDW.
oh well. I'm under the impression that DL has had far more accidents than WDW, but it'd still be nice to know.

gimme a break!
One time at WDW, my brother and I stayed up late and we snuck down to the lagoon from the polynesian. It was hot and muggy and very still. we sat down and lit up a smoke we had stoled from our dad (stupid kids) when we heard this heinous gurgling sound. Our hair stood on end. We knew we were not alone. Slowly, we craned our necks to the 5 o'clock position and there, standing before us, gasping for air, was creature from the black lagoon!
We ran off in different directions, and i found myself lost on a tiki-torch lighted path. Suddenly, all the flames extinguished! I was terrified and starting walking slowly back away from the torches.
I stopped. There was something blocking my way.
I turned, hoping it was a tree or a post. What i saw turned me whiter than ivory...
It was the phantom of the opera!
AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Yeah OK WDW is haunted!
Actually, Bigfoot lives in fort wilderness, and the dragon during the water pageant is actually the Loch Ness Monster!
Pfft!

I'm sorry I've been away a few days and missed this thread...
guests have reported coming off the ride, late at night when it's quiet, and seeing a little boy standing alone at the exit (at the top of the moving ramp) and crying
Okay...now I'm creeped out. I love HM--always have--, but when I was five or so, I came off it crying. This one part was too intense. Toward the end, when the Bride is saying in that creepy, echoey voice "come baaaaack."
That part didn't bother me, but in that same area, the little boy crying was just too realistic to me. The way It would look at you as you passed by...it really freaked me out.
Nobody else knew what I was talking about, they hadn'y seen it. I could imagin how they'd missed it. But it wasn't there when we went a few years later. I'd just assumed they'd taken it out because it was too traumatic.
Now I feel a little bit better...but I doubt I'll be getting much sleep tonight. We're taking my 2-1/2 year old in November... do we take him in HM or not???
