Lets not get held up in the "Leota rule" and argue whether the shadow hands at the piano or the corpse coming out of the coffin are ghosts. The point is this: Before the seance, all scenes are creepy and spooky but you don't see a full apparition until after she summons them. Even the Ghost Host tells us, "The spirits have heard your sympathetic vibrations and are beginning to materialize." Now, all of a sudden here's the Hatbox Ghost by the endless hallway before you arrive at the seance. That's the problem.
It’s a problem unless they fix the narration. Which will then just lead to a bigger problem imo. We all know they’ll butcher a new narration.

Hatbox ghost will have the body on the left side and head will appear in the hatbox, disappear before appearing in the hallway and then in the armor's helmet before the cycle starts over.
It will be voiced by archive audio AI of Dal McKennon and X Atencio.

If you are standing looking at the mirror, it will be on the left side of the mirror and the knight on the right.
But if someone does not look at the mirror, does that change the location to the attic ;P
I always find standing in the Doombuggy during this part of the ride to be pretty fun, as long as I leaning a bit not to hit my head.

As was discussed already there is other Paul Frees narration about the coffin and entering the seance room that was eventually not used. But you're right. If they add NEW narration, it won't be Paul Frees because he didn't record it and that would definitely butcher the narration. I suppose they could use the same tech that would be used for James Earl Jones' Darth Vader voice and do the same with Paul Frees. But again, it would be weird and out of place.

After the immense success of the movie, I'm hearing they're bringing in Owen Wilson and Danny DeVito to record a whole new narration... Owen's contract requires that he say "wow" no less than 20 times during the course of the attraction...

He’s also being added to the hitchhiking ghost mirror rotation where he’ll appear in your doombuggy and say “Scuse me bruh”
