DPCU: Disney's The Haunted Mansion: The Beginning

The first installment of the Disney Parks Cinematic Universe shows us the supernatural origins of the most haunted mansion in America. After returning to the family mansion in search of his ancestors' treasure, Edward hires the clairvoyant Madame Leota to help him in his search. They begin a relationship and have a daughter. Edward despairs because he's engaged to circus artist Lilian O'Malley, and cuts ties with Leota. Vengeful, Leota curses Lilian who ends up dying tragically. With no money and no success in finding the treasure, Edward marries his cousin Emily Cavenaugh. Leota locks the woman inside a trunk in the attic and suffocates her to death. When Edward discovers Leota's schemes, he decides to flee from Hudson River Valley. Obsessed with having Edward all to herself, Leota casts a curse on Gracey Manor and seals all its exits. Her plan is to trap him forever inside her crystal ball. To avoid his fate, Edward hangs himself from the vaulted ceiling of the mansion's entrance hall and the spell ricochets, trapping Leota forever inside her crystal ball.

After her mother’s passing, Kat Harvey moves with her father, parapsychologist Dr. James Harvey, to a quiet town in southern Maine. James’ fascination with the supernatural-and the frustrated and desperate attempt to contact his late wife, Amelia-takes father and daughter to his new home: the Whipstaff Manor. The site was built nearly two centuries ago by the Whipstaff family and passed from generation to generation until it reached scientist Dr. John Thomas McFadden. For many years, the McFadden family found a home in that huge mansion, but after a terrible snowstorm, the scientist's son, the young prodigy Casper, disappeared never to be found again. The boy was presumed dead. Citizens are surprised and furious when Dr. McFadden is accused of killing his own son. Although there was no evidence of the crime, the city never believed in John Thomas McFadden’s innocence. In the present day, the real estate agent then tells them the sad story of the McFadden family and shows Kat and her father where the young Casper would be buried at the Whipstaff Graveyard. Life in the mansion becomes hell when doors start to lock themselves, objects change places, lights start to flash and a chilling laughter echoes through the long corridors.
