5 Darkest Disney Secrets
Sex Crime Scandal
Dozens of workers at Walt Disney World in Florida have been busted for child sex crimes in recent years. Some 35 employees at
the famous theme park have reportedly been accused of stashing sick child porn or trying to meet minors for sex since 2006.
Five staffers at nearby Universal Studios and two from SeaWorld have
also been arrested on similar charges, an investigation has revealed.
A total of 32 have so far been convicted with the remaining cases pending. Two cases, for possession of
child pornography, actually occurred on Disney property but none of the cases involved visiting infants.
The worrying statistics were unearthed by CNN after
a six-month-long study of police and court records.
Deborah Gail Stone
On July 8, 1974, an incredibly gruesome accident occurred at Disneyland’s America Sings attraction, a
new ride that featured 6 rotating stages which allowed guests to view without leaving their seats.
Deborah Stone was an 18-year-old hostess responsible for greeting new audiences.
She’d taken the job to help pay for her upcoming education at Iowa State University.
On a fateful day, 9 days after the ride opened. Deborah moved close to
the moving wall of the ride. The moving wall then pushed her against the
stationary portion of the stage, crushing her to death. Her screams were
heard, but before the moving wall could be halted, the young woman was dead.
Employee Underwear
Employees at Disneyland, who dressed up in character costumes to entertain kids were not allowed to wear their
own underwear while working. Disney claimed that normal underwear would often become evident in such a costume.
Hence, they were given special underwear during working hours. The garment had to be returned
along with the character costume at the end of each day. This rule became ineffective since 2001.
The Lemmings Mass Suicide Lie
"White Wilderness" is an American nature documentary produced by Walt Disney Productions
in 1958. The film was directed by James Algar and narrated by Winston Hibler.
The film has a scene in which it depicts a group of lemmings that
appear to be naturally committing a mass suicide off the cliffs of
the Arctic Ocean. But it turns out that the "documentary" that first
promulgated this lie was more snuff fantasy than scientific fact.
In reality, Lemmings don't naturally jump off cliffs at all, something that was clearly not understood during this
filming. This scene wasn't filmed in the Arctic Ocean at all, but rather was staged at Bow River in downtown Calgary.
The Lemings were actually pushed off of the cliff by the production
studio to appear as if they were naturally killing themselves.
There Are Human Remains in Disneyland
Since 1955 over 600 million people have walked through Disneyland’s magical gates.
But legend has it that some of them never left. Disneyland is said to be one
of the most haunted areas in California. There have been over 10 reported deaths
at Disneyland: including a drowning, an impaling, and many other accidents.
What most people don’t know is that there are remnants of dead bodies
scattered all over Disneyland. In recent years, it has become incredibly
common for families to dispose of their loved ones’ ashes on Disneyland
rides, most popularly on Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion.
Apparently it happens so often that security guards had to institute a procedure for
handling it. Guards closely monitor the ride through surveillance cameras and even walk
the length of the track after-hours to look for suspicious piles of ash and bone fragments.
There was reportedly even a jawbone found by a custodian in The Haunted Mansion.
