The next time you are visiting Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort, make sure to listen closely while in the foyer room in Haunted Mansion and you may notice the music is eerily familiar — and that’s because it is!
According to Haunted Mansion Fandom, the organ music that plays in the background of the foyer room at Disneyland Park (the room right before the stretching room) is actually being played backwards. So even though initially, it may not sound like the iconic Haunted Mansion music, it is — just backwards!
More on Haunted Mansion
Disneyland describes this attraction as:
Dearly depart into a foreboding estate, drag your body to the dead center of the Portrait Chamber and watch as the walls begin to stretch before your eyes. Climb into your waiting Doom Buggy and embark on a shivering journey into an unearthly realm.
The disembodied voice of the Ghost Host is your private guide through the cadaverous dwelling—home to grinning ghosts and other spectral surprises.
Glide past a rattling casket in the conservatory. Head off to Madame Leota’s spooky séance room. Float by the Grand Ballroom and its waltzing apparitions. Take a spin through a cemetery where the spirited residents regale you with song.
Beware of lurking hitchhikers—these phantom pranksters may try to follow you home!
