Staring Busts
Marble busts that watch guests' every move. At Disneyland, there are two at the end of the changing portrait hallway. At Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland, eight of them can be found in the library. According to the Ghost Host, the library busts represent "the greatest ghostwriters the literary world has ever known."
One bust depicts a glaring, stern-looking older woman. Multiple busts of this character can be found in the Mansions (two at Disneyland, three at Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland). In Marc Davis' concept art, she was originally a talking or singing bust named Aunt Lucretia. She may also be the woman in a portrait that depicts a sinister-looking old wealthy couple, who has the same face as the Aunt Lucretia bust in the concept art.

Famous quotes containing the word staring:
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
