Phantom Manor

In Disneyland Paris you can find an old house on top of a hill. The house looks like it had better times. It was buildt during the Gold Rush time and it had happier times. Welcome to Phantom Manor. This is one of my favorite Disneyrides. Phantom Manor is not like the rides in other Disney parcs. Phantom Manor is a wonderful building with a great story. I heard all about it when I went to Disney University. Yes, it excisist and is for people who are starting their job in Disneyland Paris. Or at least, it was when I went to work there in 1996. I never knew there was a story behind Phantom Manor, but when I went with my fellow students and teacher and waited in the cue we got to hear the story behind it. The house was buildt by a man who went out to California during the Gold Rush. He got very rich and founded Thunder Mesa. The house was buildt on top of a hill and looked out over the small city and the river. The man married and he and his wife got a daughter. The daughter fell in love with a young man, who lived in the village. They wanted to get married. But there was one little problem. In the house lived a ghost who was very much in love with the daughter. He couldn't stand loosing her, so he had to take action. When the wedding day came the groom was nowhere to be found. The family looked all over the house and area, but no groom. The girl was very sad and didn't believe he was gone. Now a days strange things happen around and in the house. Lights are visible behind the windows and strange smoke comes out of the chimney. The place is deserted for years and years, but sometimes the doors open. Visitors can enter the house and look around. They might catch a glimpse of the bride, who is still searching her true love. They might hear her weeping and eerie music can be heard. On entering the ballroom it is possible that visitors get to see ballroom dancers. Glimpses of times past. Visitors also can hear a terrible laugh which makes them scared. A man can be seen, his face is strange and so are his clothes. Who is he and what is going on in the house. Not many people live to tell the tail. If you are lucky, you can end up in a shooting in the nearby Western city. I hope you are brave enough to visit the house and come out of it alive.
