Hitchhiking Ghosts

The Hitchhiking Ghosts are a trio of infamous ghosts that are located near the end of the Haunted Mansion in the Disney theme parks. They rarely appear as face characters, only appearing during events such as the Haunted Mansion's 40th Anniversary.

They sometimes appeared on the animated television series Disney's House of Mouse. The ghosts also had a minor role in the 2003 film The Haunted Mansion. The Skeleton, however, did not have a speaking part. Their official names are " Phineas " (Traveler), "Ezra" (Skeleton) and " Gus " (Prisoner).

In Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, the trio have their own spell card called "The Haunted Mansion's Happy Haunting Grounds". This card was only available to guests that attended Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in the fall of 2013.

During the number, they scare Pete out of the club.

In the made-for-DVD movie, the trio are freed from a crate by Cruella De Vil and join the villains in the song It's Our House Now! as they take over the House of Mouse. Aside from scaring the guests, they don't appear to be doing anything bad and are just happy to scare the guests.
