When you think of haunted attractions at Disneyland, your mind probably goes straight to the obvious: The Haunted Mansion. With its ghostly gags, doom buggies, and 999 happy haunts, it practically screams supernatural. However, according to recent guest reports, the most haunted attraction at Disneyland might not be the spooky mansion at all. In fact, it might be Winnie the Pooh—yes, the charming, honey-filled adventure through the Hundred Acre Wood.
That’s right. The cheerful, child-friendly Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride may actually be Disneyland’s most ghost-ridden experience.
A Ghost in the Maintenance Bay
A viral guest report shared on various fan forums has sparked debate and curiosity among Disneyland fans. According to one report, the Winnie the Pooh attraction is allegedly home to the ghost of an elderly woman who has been seen multiple times by cast members near the ride’s vehicle maintenance bay. What makes this story particularly eerie is the consistency of the sightings and the strange behavior of the figure.
“Not a CM, but I’ve seen videos from a couple of different sources that claimed that Winnie the Pooh is the most haunted ride in Disneyland,” one guest wrote. “Apparently, the ghost of an old woman can occasionally be seen in the area around the ride vehicle maintenance bay, appearing so solid and convincing on cameras that many CMs are convinced she’s real… until they go check it out, and find that she’s gone.”
This isn’t your typical blurry ghost photo or shadowy silhouette in the background of a ride video. According to reports, the figure appears solid—so convincing, in fact, that multiple cast members have reportedly gone to confront or help the woman, only to find no one there when they arrive.

Why Winnie the Pooh?
It’s a fair question. The Winnie the Pooh ride is the last place most people would expect ghost stories to emerge. After all, it’s a gentle, whimsical attraction designed for kids.
Disneyland has long been the subject of ghost stories and urban legends. From the rumored spirit that haunts the Matterhorn after a tragic accident to tales of guests scattering ashes inside Haunted Mansion, the park is no stranger to the supernatural. What makes the Winnie the Pooh tale stand out is its unexpectedness—and the apparent credibility among cast members who have allegedly encountered the mysterious woman.
It’s also a reminder that not everything is as it seems, even in the Happiest Place on Earth. Behind the scenes, in quiet maintenance bays and forgotten corners, Disneyland holds secrets that guests may never fully uncover.
So… Should You Be Worried?
If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland, there’s no need to avoid Winnie the Pooh. The ride remains a delightful experience for all ages, and no reports suggest the ghost is malicious (if you even believe in the supernatural.) If anything, her appearances seem more residual than reactive—like a moment caught in time rather than a spirit trying to make contact.
But the next time you bounce along with Tigger or drift through a dream with Heffalumps and Woozles, take a moment to glance toward the backstage area. You might just spot a figure no longer listed on the ride’s character roster.
After all, in a place where fantasy and imagination come to life, maybe it’s not so surprising that a ghost or two would want to stick around.
