For reasons not quite clear, a video originally posted on YouTube on Sept. 15, 2009, of what's supposed to be a ghost (Uncle Walt?) roaming Disneyland in Anaheim is suddenly spooking social media-ites.

Watch the video here–and see if you can spot the Haunted Mansion escapee sooner than I could. (It took me awhile):
Reddit posted on the video four or five days ago. Some leaving comments speculate the source material for the video came from old Disney security VHS tapes that were recorded and recorded over, creating the ghost-like images of, say, at janitor walking through after the park closed.
Or is that what they want you to think?
Actually, if the Mouseketeers in administration knew there was an actual ghost, they would have already figured out a way to charge it the new $99 adult specter ticket price.
