Exiting the Graveyard, the Ghost Host returns to warn us of hitchhiking ghosts. It seems he forgot to mention them earlier. These ghosts will follow guests home and haunt them until the guests return to the Haunted Mansion.

The Doom Buggy floats by the ghosts and into a corridor with mirrors. The mirrors reflect the guests image and the ghost, who will follow them home, sits beside them.

Disney has updated the effect, which is fun, but nothing beats the experience of going through the Haunted Mansion as a child and having a ghost sit next to you, or on your lap. With three ghosts to follow you, the Haunted Mansion had built in reasons to go back.
