In 'Snow White', the Evil Queen in her witch form can be considered a bit spooky. Her cackling laugh and the way she tries to harm Snow White with that poisoned apple gives a sense of dread. There are also stories about her spirit lingering in the castle in some darker interpretations. And then there's the Phantom in 'The Phantom of the Opera' which is a Disney - related spooky story. The Phantom's masked face and his obsession with Christine create a very tense and somewhat terrifying atmosphere.
One scary Disney ghost story is from The Haunted Mansion. There are said to be many ghosts in that spooky mansion. The ghosts of the former residents seem to haunt the place.

One of the scariest Disney stories is from 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. The evil queen's transformation into an old hag is quite terrifying. Her plan to poison Snow White with the apple is also very dark. Another is from 'Pinocchio', when he gets trapped in Pleasure Island and starts turning into a donkey. It's a very creepy part of the story.
They appeal because they are family - friendly scares. Disney manages to create ghost stories that are spooky enough to give a thrill but not so terrifying that they are inappropriate for kids. It allows families to experience a bit of horror together, like when watching the Headless Horseman chase in 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' where kids can be scared in a safe and fun way.
Another story involves the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. There have been reports of animatronic pirates moving in ways they're not supposed to when the park is closed. It gives the impression that there's some sort of strange energy in the attraction. Some employees have also said they've heard unexplained noises coming from that area at night.
In 'Pinocchio', the scene where the boys turn into donkeys on Pleasure Island can be really scary. It shows a dark side of giving in to excessive pleasure and the consequences that follow. The idea of losing your humanity and turning into an animal is a disturbing concept.

There are also stories about the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Apparently, at times, the animatronic pirates seem to move in ways that they're not supposed to.

The story of the Pirates of the Caribbean also has some ghost - like elements. The undead pirates give a sense of the supernatural. They are cursed and roam the seas, which is a really cool and spooky part of the Disney lore.
One well - known Disney park ghost story is about the Haunted Mansion. There are rumors of real spirits being trapped there. Some guests claim to have seen strange apparitions or felt cold spots in the ride. Another story is about a ghostly figure that is said to roam around Pirates of the Caribbean. It might be the spirit of a former Imagineer who passed away during the creation of the attraction.
One example could be the story of Snow White. The Evil Queen's attempts to kill Snow White are quite scary. She first tries to strangle her with a laced bodice and then sends her into the forest with the Huntsman to be killed. Another is Sleeping Beauty. Maleficent's curse on Aurora is terrifying. She turns into a dragon to fight Prince Philip, which is a very intense and somewhat scary part of the story.
