Here is some information I came across about the hm. It may be public knowledge but I didn't know. The House is Gracey's Mansion, The story is of a bride who jumped/fell out of the attic window (maybe this explains the engagement ring outside?) At one point in the ride it is suppose to be like you fell out the window so in the end when the caretaker and the dog are scared it is because you are now a ghost.

Let me know if anyone else has heard this or any other or different stories. I thought it was interesting. Thanks!
 
from The Imagieering Field Guide to the MK at WDW by The Imagineers...
HM - Marc Davis worked on characters and gags, Claude Coats worked on setting and atmosphere.

based on a 19th century Hudon River Dutch Gothic architecture

The book does not mention anything about "Gracey's Mansion, The story is of a bride who jumped/fell out of the attic window" - sorry

I have also heard the story of the bride. I think originally the WDW HM had a storyline, but somewhere in the planning they kind of let that go, but still left some of the characters in the ride, such as the bride in the attic and the hanging skeleton in the stretching room (supposedly the husband who hung himself after the death of his bride). I also think that the "ring" outside on the ground is actually simply a piece of metal that belonged to a pole or something that was removed, and has now taken on a mythic status ;)

I also love all these behind the scenes stories! :Pinkbounc Whether or not they're all true
