Disney’s The Haunted Mansion aka “Spiritualism: The Ride”

Spooks on a Plane: A Story of Haunted Planes
Be honest; how many of you knew this was a thing? Well, given that cars have been known to be haunted, why not planes as well? This isn’t a phenomenon that we often hear about. I’ll be truthful and say that I only became familiar with these stories through an assignment from my day job. Come…
Are Hauntings Just Meant to Be Experienced?
