Pop-up Ghosts
These characters find ghoulish pleasure in popping up from behind tombstones to scare passers-by. Most of them appear to be decaying corpses that were recently unearthed. Though silent now, the characters would originally shriek or cackle as they popped up. Pop-ups were also used in the attic scene (emerging from trunks and boxes) at Disneyland until 2006 and at Walt Disney World until 2007. They remain in the attic of Tokyo's Mansion. In the original attraction script, the attic pop-ups are described as "impish demons."

Famous quotes containing the word ghosts:
“O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
