One-Thousandth Ghost | DISNEY THIS DAY | October 28, 2004

October 28, 2024

On this day in 2004, a Baton Rouge lawyer became an honorary resident of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion and attended his own midnight “burial.” His winning bid of $37,400 in a charity auction on eBay entitled him to become the one-thousandth ghost in the Haunted Mansion. The doctor and healthcare attorney’s name was immortalized on a tombstone. The stone reads, “JAY – Doctor-Lawyer Legal Clerk, Forever Buried In His Work.” [20 years ago in 2024]
