Hoo! That was quite a little transition experiment, eh? Gotta say, I’m pretty happy with the results.
Originally I was going to have Daniel spot a real live ghost in the Haunted Mansion (where one would naturally expect such things), but alas, no reports of ghosts haunt that particular location. There are quite a few ghosts in the Anaheim locale, but participating in the Midwest-to-Florida drive twice in my young life, I couldn’t envision it any other way.
As luck would have it, I stumbled upon the story of George, a worker on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World. During construction, George fell to his death from a high tower in the Burning City portion of the attraction…and he’s been a part of it ever since. When I read the story, I made up my mind. After all, where better to have a ghost than a place unexpected?
one question: did the real life inspiration (if there is one) for Maureen ever wear a Def Leppard shirt back in the 80’s? also, great chapter! I always love seeing the background stuff that’s happening…pulls me deeper into your world:-)
