Well, it depends on who you ask.
1.) He's the caretaker of the mansion and is scared of what he'll see since he hears scary noises, only to find funny and playful things, which is what you see. Same with the dog, it's just a comedic moment.
2.) When you exit the attic you take the form of the mysterious bride ghost and when you breeze by the caretaker he is scared out of his wits.

There really isn't a story, that's the funny part. I really don't know the official story line, but many 'beta' story lines are floating around, along with a few unofficial ones.

The graveyard taker is scared because he is looking at YOU- - a GHOST!
What? Confused?
Remember when you fall backwards? Why do you do that? What's the purpose?
You die. You fall off of the balcony (take a look next time), and go to your death. Now, you're a ghost. And Bones and Graveyard Caretaker are shaking because they see you.

You're not a ghost. You're simply people taking a tour around a scary mansion. The Gravyard Guy is cunfused to see you because its not everyday you see people float past in doom buggies. The Caretaker is also scared because of the ghosts in the gravyard ( not you ). Plus, when you go back wards, you're simply drifting down in your doom buggy from the top floor of the mansion.

Or, you could be a confused guest who knows nothing that's going on, gets pushed back in their seat as they go down, a la M:S, and then exit the ride and buy some more merchandise. :hammer:

Fair argument, but my story comes from the intent of the designers of the attraction.
Of course, the whole mansion has various stories, so there are several interpretations.

If you're a ghost then why at the end of the ride does the "ghost host" say..."if you would like to join us then you can make arrangments at the end of the tour."? Why does the tour go on still as if you're visiting? Just a question.

Nothing to add to the conversation, just thought it would be a good place for my avatar to make an appearance.

Well, if we want to "join the company," that implies that we'd have to be dead. So we have the option to STAY (since there's room for 1,000 ghosts) or go on.
Again, this isn't the strongest concept, but it roots mostly in the graveyard. Then again, the whole attraction is a mixture of various stories which each rider can formulate differently.

Really? I always thought he saw people float by all day long in doom buggies
He's been watching folks since the 70's :lol: I figure he's afraid to get run over if he crosses the doom buggy path.But on the story behind the HM, the best place you can go is: www.doombuggies.com
These guys know pretty much everything there is to know on the HM.

Right - - there are no ghosts in that area...the whole graveyard band starts in the next area (past the gate), and he looks directly at us horrified, adding more to this whole reasoning of us being "dead" - - and the doombuggies don't fall from a balcony and go backwards for nothing, you know. :animwink:

there actually is a foundation for the story - with characters, and a plot -(that somewhat stays the same, i.e. - gracey's position, leoda's role...etc... but - cms are encouraged to make up their own story, as long as they keep character names, and the whole feel of the mansion in the storyline...

There's always a story with Disney.
According to our Guest Relations Keys to the Kingdom tour guide:
Master Gracey was a really rotten but rich guy. I basically cons this nice girl to be his bride. Once they get married she finds out what a rotten guy he is and he keeps her in the mansion. She tries to hide from him. She goes in the attic and gets into the trunk. Unfortunately for her, it locks on her and she dies in the trunk (when you are going through the attic and see her ghost, look at the trunk near her and you can see part of her wedding dress sticking out). He searches and searches for her. When he can't find her, he is very upset and hangs himself (as you see in the stretching room - also his "way out" is by hanging himself). There are more details to the story, but that is the general idea.
