Summary

In the magical world of Disneyland, there are stories that often remain hidden behind the enchantment. Join us in this episode of The Scarecast as we peel back the layers of Disneyland history and explore three intriguing and chilling stories.

First, we take you to the heart of Disneyland, to a small apartment above the Firehouse on Main Street. This was Walt Disney's personal retreat, and even after his passing, his beloved lamp in the apartment's window has remained lit. But what's the eerie legend behind this glowing lamp?

Then, we shift our focus to Grad Nite, a tradition for high school graduates that has a darker side. In 1966, a young man named Thomas Guy Cleveland embarked on an ill-fated adventure that ended in tragedy on the monorail tracks. His story reveals a side of Disneyland rarely talked about—a side where accidents can turn magical nights into nightmares.

But that's not all; just a year later in 1967, another tragedy occurred on the People Mover ride, where a teenager lost his life attempting a dangerous stunt. The eerie question arises: What are the odds of two eerily similar fatalities occurring on the same ride?

Join us for a journey into the unknown, as we uncover the legends, mysteries, and haunting experiences of Disneyland. And don't forget to follow me on Instagram and TikTok @thescarecast for exclusive content, including a unique experience shared by one of our listeners inside the Firehouse below Walt's apartment.
