Subj: [ParanormalFlorida] *Special* Walt Disney World Investigation Report   Date: 3/5/2005 3:22:16 PM Eastern Standard Time  From: AngelOfThyNight@aol.com   To: ParanormalBuffalo@yahoogroups.com,  paranormalghostsociety@yahoogroups.com,  Paranormalflorida@yahoogroups.com,  ParanormalGhostSociety@groups.msn.com   A dream finally came true on March 3rd something I promised myself I would accomplish and that was an investigation of the Magical Kingdom itself. Although their is probably more to see my first visit here was extremely productive. I investigated Walt Disney World itself hopefully in the future I can investigate the other theme parks located within Disney as well such as the Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center, Typhoon Lagoon, MGM and Blizzard Beach.  For years it was always my dream to visit Disney World. I do not think anything more put a smile on my face then to be able to not only take my kids here but to be able to visit the Magical Kingdom and investigate its Hauntings at the same time was really special. What even made it more special is that we have been based in the state of Florida for just a little over a year and so yes you guessed it Disney World was our anniversary investigation and what a special one it was.; Although each year millions visit Disney World very few actually think about the supernatural so I wanted to bring some of that magic right into your homes. So my trip up there I took some small video footage for the website and ALOT of photography.  I worked extremely hard on this investigation perhaps even gave a part of my soul because for this organization to earn any respect here in this state this investigation had to be no less then perfect. I know that so many people have not been to Disney World so for me to share this with all of you goes beyond even myself to just going their to have fun. I visited there with other intentions and perhaps even greater it was one of my best investigations perhaps when you see the updates you will understand.  Anyhow I set off for very early in the morning we stopped for breakfast and then my day full of oddities started to happen but I overcame them all.  I started off and was making good time till I spent an hour stuck in traffic oh I was swearing like a sailor. Eventually I got to the parking booth and they only took cash yes the parking is 8 dollars as if they do not make enough off the ticket sales lol.  So then I had to turn all the way around and if you ever been to Disney World to drive around in it perhaps is like driving in a city its HUGE. But I got the cash paid up and got in finally lol and so my adventure begins here. Walt Disney World The Magical Kingdom We walked over to the docks and got on this giant ferry boat. The sky was fairly dark and gloomy looking great day to catch them ghost lurking about. I was probably more amazed by the Ferry as I ran up and down all the stairs taking photos of the castle real far away in the distance. The hotel itself was grand so I took photos of that. As the ferry took off I kept switching between decks and I could not believe how fast this giant ferry moved felt like we were in a car.   Eventually we hit land and of course we were not there yet we had to cross the check point. But eventually once we passed that there it was in front of me the giant castle which really to me is the most beautiful attraction in Disney. Perhaps because I love castles so much. Anyhow we started off at the train station and there was people boarding an old steam engine train. At the station they have lockers and it actually is designed inside to look like a old railroad station. We got our lockers saved our things and headed on off. The first place we visited was downtown Disney World where they have a bench with Walt Disney & Minnie Mouse. Downtown was awesome I do not know how else to describe it but when you walk downtown that is all you see are Disney Characters walking around, old shops, a cinema and stores. Walking downtown was interesting I mean you could feel the energy glowing all around. As a paranormal investigator I can feel energies at times and right downtown there was a feeling of energy that perhaps was enormous ghostly or peoples auras it was very extensive. Downtown perhaps had a very London type of look to it with the stone streets and little alleyways. There was statues and other things then eventually we came on out to the front of the castle I took a few photos. My impression from doing a reading on the castle is that its upper floors are haunted perhaps even towers. But most of the castle is restricted to the public. We eventually went into Liberty Square which is designed to perhaps look very colonial or the days when George Washington was president. I could feel as if something perhaps was watching me from some of the old buildings balconies and windows. I mean often we must wonder where do ghost go when there is 1000s of people around do they hide? Watch silently from the beyond? But Liberty Square was quiet not many people around and there was this giant bell which had a plaque and a tree not to far away with a plaque as well. Their is so much around you tend to forget some of the sites. The first event we did was the Swiss Family Robinson tree which is this giant tree you can climb up and see the little living quarters within it. We got pretty high up and I investigated it fairly alone as nobody was up there. I could sense some activity higher up in the tree in one of the little tree houses that was about it for here. Also noticed a cold spot on the steps just in one area which was odd. Then I put my youngest on the Aladdin Magic Carpet Ride for him it was a big deal since this was really one of his first rides at any theme park. He enjoyed it alot and I took a few photos around an area which looked like an Arabian city with tents and other odd structures.  Then we went on this mad tea cup ride and I spun it so fast when we got off we were dizzy running into everything lol. We did some walk passed by Splash and Thunder Mountain eventually I pulled my way over to the Haunted Mansion. Passing the gravestones I took some photos. Eventually we stepped into the room and apparently it had this effect like it was stretching then we entered these doors and got on board these carts which take you into various rooms of the haunted mansion.  The haunted mansion was really nice lots of effects, paintings, eerie doors, even the gypsy talking in the crystal ball. We passed the ballroom and you could see the the apparitions dancing. Not real ones but the hologram effects were that good that you could not tell the difference. One area had a mirror where you looked in it and it looked like something was sitting in our cart.  I did feel something in the haunted mansion more in the Ballroom area then anything. It felt almost as if maybe some of the ghost or things I seen in here were not fake. I think the real ghost blend in just to play pranks on those who dare to enter. My youngest boy he covered his eyes the whole ride as soon as he seen the first skeleton and he just could not stand the head in the crystal ball talking and looking at us lol.  Eventually we went on the Peter Pan ride which seems like your floating above the city. I took a few photos tried to capture the hook on film but my camera did not load in time for the flash damn lol. I felt very happy energy here it not necessary ghostly just a nice residual harmonic energy. This ride probably gets more kids on it then any of the others and the line proved it as opposed to the many other rides I went on.  We then made our way over to Tomorrowland which in my opinion is really great if your into Buzz Light Year, The Future, Space etc. The first thing I did here was take this beltway cart which takes you all over tomorrow land as you go into tunnels, into space mountain, around the rocket adventure and its a pretty long ride. It even crosses over the Speedway where you can drive race cars something I did not have time to do.  After my ride around Tomorrow land we visited the arcade which looks sort of like a space ship. Actually all of Tomorrow land looks like your on some planet. The games were pricey but I played this candy game, football, basketball, and a few other games. We had fun around here then it was time for some rides.  I went on Space Mountain which is probably one of the most well known rides at Disney. Since its a roller coaster in the pitch dark with shooting stars on the ceiling it was really hard for me to take photos during the ride. But on a psychic level I did my investigation and kept feeling a decapitation type of feeling. I mentioned it quite a few times after getting off the ride thinking oh man with my head whipping past all these metal bars its possible to lose your head in here. Then I did some research today and found out someone actually lost there head on that ride so my psychic vision was pretty right on here. I usually can feel certain things this place had strong energy. We then hit the Buzz Light Year Ride and the kids loved the giant robot of Buzz talking away. The ride was cool cause we got to shoot lasers at each other and shoot various targets. I scored some high points and at the end you get a rank. I took a few photos here. All in all that was my type of ride shooting things and pretending it was the girl who was rude to me at the ticket booth ha grrr. We then made our way over to the train station for a snack and waited for the steam engine train to come through. By this time I was admiring the old paintings, old-time movie viewers you look into, and football game you push buttons to play with. The train came we boarded all the way in the back. The conductor gave us a history on this one train engine in how it was used in 1924 in New Mexico. The train apparently goes all over the theme park and so we decided to stay on board as it had been raining for about an hour so it was nice to actually get out of the rain as my head was soaked. The train ride passed through two tunnels while we were on board and stopped at the first station. The first station some people got off and some boarded. Then we admired more sites along the tracks as we seen Indians, a bandwagon, cattle skeleton, Teepees, Burning Cabin, Indian Village and much more. I did not feel much however there was a bridge we went under sort of away from the theme park and I felt something under that bridge. That area was probably the most uncomfortable within Disney World. Eventually we got off at Mickey's toonland where the kids can go into the characters houses and meet them. We did not have much time but we did stop in Mickey Mouse's house seen the bedroom, kitchen, pumpkin patch then came out into a tent where we watched a movie and the kids got their photo with Mickey Mouse.  Then after that we went on Goofy's Wise Acre farm which is a little roller coaster. The boys enjoyed that and I took a breather for a change. We then went on over to downtown Disney and caught the last 15 minutes of the parade. They had Peter Pan dancing around then the witch from snow white, Tigger, then beauty and the beast. It was hard to see it all but I captured some of it on film. After it ended we headed on over to the Liberty Belle Steamboat. Yes this is an actually steamboat and perhaps one of the biggest I have seen. Again like the ferry this time I was real excited as this had three floors to explore. I was sort of bouncing around alot taking photos along the river as this steam boat took us on a journey along Tom Sawyer Island, An Indian Village, and other sites along the woods. It was a great way just to lean over and enjoy the ride. The giant paddle wheel was spinning and the steamboat even produced steam with a sound. I guess I was pretty fascinated with not only enjoying a ride but being on a piece of history is an honor. I sensed something ghostly on board honestly could not pinpoint it but the steam boat is old and there obviously is some energy to it. After my ride we went on the many adventures of Winnie The Pooh great kids ride. Owls chamber felt colder the rest. But that kids ride was in my opinion really nice for the kids. For me I wanted some upside down actually or some catacombs in the dark type of ordeals but its Pooh Bear so you know how it goes lol. When we were done we walked back down into Liberty Square where I captured my first Ectoplasmic shot near a balcony. We just came out from this dark tunnel and I felt a presence nearby so I took the photo upon coming out and bam seen the Ecto. After that I began to develop perhaps an attraction to the unseen because I captured more in a tower a few minutes later. We took a break it was breezy and raining out but still the park was fairly busy lots of kids and older folks out. I took the kids on Thunder Mountain which is this train type of roller coaster that looks like a mountain with mines. That was a pretty long ride with alot of cool tunnels and things but it did not have any thrilling descents people were screaming and I was busy conversing about ghostly entities hahaha.  After my ride we got on a raft which took us out to Tom Sawyer Island.  The island has a fort, wind mill, mill, barrel bridge, and rope bridge. Its a pretty nice place because your away from people and everybody. We got off the raft and right away I climbed up the wind mill then peaked into the mill. My kids wanted to go into the mines so we did which is a series of tunnels that are dimly lit. We eventually came out of them as we were all trying to jump out and scare one another which did not seem to work but they got me the one time at another tunnel at the fort at the other end of the island. We then made our way over to Fort Langhorn which looks like one of those old west type of forts made out of wood to stop the Indians from attacking. This was a very paranormally active area. I know the fort is fake but the whole island seemed like a ghostly gathering. I climbed around in the fort was shooting the fake rifles at the steamboat passing by as people were just staring at me lol.  Then we toured the fort such as the stables, cannons, blacksmith and sneaked out the escape tunnels. It was alot of fun and a great view of the magical kingdom from the fort.  Then my son went into the mines on our way back bragging how he found a different passageway and a skull within the mines made out of stone. So yeah we went back in and got lost all of us getting separating. We then ran off left one of the boys alone so he could get lost. He could not catch us I was running, hiding, ducking under stones and then I came out of the tunnel and three girls from Disney told me the island is shut down and I was supposed to be off of it lol. I told them I couldn't go because my son was still in the mines haha. So then everybody was separated and I had to hang out with like six Disney Workers because the island was closed. It looked pretty strange when nobody was on the raft but us returning from the island but its a good thing I stuck it out and stayed because some good photos came out on the island. If you ask me I thought the workers were rude to us since nobody told us the island was closing down so here we are playing in the fort and mines not knowing this. Eventually at the mainland it was getting dark so I wanted to try something different. We headed on over to the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride. There was nobody on it talk about ghost ship. I have to say the special effects here were awesome. You get on this boat and it takes you inside these caves. In the cave was a ship, pirates drinking, fighting, shooting off guns, there was a treasure room, and its a fairly long ride. One area there was all these flames burning and I will tell you even though all the pirates inside the caves were robots they looked extremely real as some had hair on their legs.  It did not take me long to get yelled at on this ride. I snapped one photo of a skeleton steering a old ship wheel and the speaker came on telling me to not take any flash photos. I was in the very front of the boat so I am sure all the others in the boat with me enjoyed that entertainment lol. But on this ride I felt a very strong presence not because there are undead pirates and its a eerie dark place. But it felt like to me that perhaps a very sad haunting was here like something stays here and does not go anywhere else unlike most entities I have dealt with. I mean just go on the ride you will understand. I did a little research and found out that this is one the most haunted areas of Disney World and I felt that this is the type of place when the ride shuts down the place gets fairly active. But I felt more of a residual type of energy here and of course a ghost named George is said to haunt this ride.  Eventually after this we decided to catch a jungle river cruise. You could take this river cruise tell someone you were in Africa and they would believe it. We took this jungle river boat and it took us past a giant water fall in a jungle setting which had giraffes, elephants, a jungle tribe and village. There was even a giant snake in one of the trees eventually taking us in a temples tunnel. Even though it was all fake it really gave you a perspective of what it would be like to be out in the jungle slowly passing by hippos and things of that sort. The area was gloomy more so in some of the jungle setting and it was starting to getting almost completely dark out. After our jungle boat ride we went on the snow white's ride which had the dwarves and that was just an area you sit down and pass by all the sites from the cartoon movie. The witch kept popping up alot throughout the ride what a creepy fake witch she was lol it was hard to pinpoint anything haunted around here though. Then finally it was almost dark out so I visited the castle going inside. I seen some people dining on the second floor of the castle in the dimly lit windows. The castle to me has a strong presence. There is mosaics inside the lower floor and a suit of armor. But the wall mosaics are very gorgeous and obvious have some significance. Is the castle haunted I think so. When you do this for awhile you can go into a place and rather feel a difference like if your uncomfortable or feel watched. But the castle has a few stronger more advanced entities they do not feel residual here either.  Nearby we then headed on off to the Carousel I could barely fit onto the horse even the biggest one was a little small for me. This one older lady was giving me dirty looks lol but it was fun so that is all that matters. The ride did not last long and at that time it was nightfall. After this it was getting chilly and I was fairly wet so I figured going on a water ride will not make a difference. The kids and I headed on over to Splash Mountain where nobody was even standing in line. Guess them Floridians hate the rain as we do snow up in WNY. But we got on and I have to say this is one of my favorite rides. Its like a log flume like any other theme park accept this one goes into a manmade mountain where you pass by all these cartoon like bears. We went through tunnels and there was a few drop offs. The last one was a very steep one and that made my stomach turn I was pleased finally to go on something that had some adventure. I did take a few photos while on Splash Mountain. Alot of the ride was just scenic until we got to a few tunnels with hidden drop offs.  I felt as if something was up in Splash Mountain not sure could be ghostly could just be alot of energy. We then walked around Liberty Square looking for the evening parade and it was delayed. So I took us back to tomorrow land so we could ride the Astro Orbiter.  We took the elevator up and boarded our rockets. It was raining pretty hard my ass was soaked and at this point we were beat tired from a day of events and walking around. It was cool though you could control the rockets height with a lever going up and down. After we got done with this ride the parade had started we missed some of it. But the nighttime parade is different because all the characters are all lit up with lights and neon. It is pretty cool and that is when you could feel the difference in energy as many were gathered in downtown Disney just watching the parade.  We started to head out of the park passing all the characters and watched the parade as we walked. I also was trying to take ghostly photos in various areas downtown on main street. One of the last photos I took was when Cinderella riding in her Pumpkin Carriage passed by. I ran up to her real quick and took her photo. She was a very pretty blonde and I was like all smiles after that. Prettiest girl in Disney I seen all day in my opinion. The photo did not come out to well but the memory will always be there at least. Eventually we made our way out and decided to take a monorail which basically the same thing as a train but guided on a single rail. We got on I was stuck standing its amazing how people sit down first and do not give the children any seats. The monorail was great though it passed over the water, in the distance I seen the ferry boat, and then went right along the hotel at Disney. We got off took a tram then to our vehicle. Unfortunately the night was not done yet silly me left the lights on in the car and my battery was dead. It was raining and honestly for a Florida day pretty nippy out. I sat outside in the rain for two hours hoping someone would jump me, Security was shorthanded so I could not find them the kids fell asleep in the car. The tram drivers would not call security then some guy drove around and tried to find them. After two hours they arrived and could not jump the car so a tow truck gave me a jump that was driving around. As he was jumping me I looked over the tow truck and giant fireworks were going off over the Magical Kingdom it was the grand finale fireworks show they put on over the Castle.  We drove off and I stopped at Taco Bell it was quite an adventurous night and I took some video, lots of photos and looked at quite a few of them. Some nice Ectoplasmic ghostly faces came out of that theme park.  In conclusion to this report we got alot of ground covered which I know here is much more to see but the place is a world in itself seriously.  I got some EMF readings within the park and it seems that perhaps many go here to have a great time and forget that just because this is a theme park does not mean there are not ghost here.  My first visit here was haunted but fun. Everything I almost visited I tried to capture something paranormal at. Perhaps this may have been the best if not the only Disney World Paranormal Investigation in history where some good evidence was captured. But in my opinion when you think about it for a second all the children, vacationers, people from all over the world, and employees visit here everybody puts a part of themselves into Disney World. Whether it is there hearts, emotions, joy, sorrow, romance, or just acting like a pirate there is so much energy here it is no wonder that the hurricanes were deflected by the magic of Disney. With this much energy here it is no wonder why the park is mystical and haunted all at the same time. So a new journey begins as another ends and now Disney World will be a part of history for The Paranormal & Ghost Society Organization as we bring you future epics of this special place and many more adventures.  One of the hardest things as a Ghostbuster is to try and capture paranormal activity with thousands around you but to be able to pull it off in itself is magic in the making!
