Transcript
Narrator: "It was a moonlit night. Baloo was taking some monkeys to the station by the lake."

(Owl hoots)

Hercules: "Whenever that owl hoots, a mist rolls in."

Narrator: "Murmured Hercules."

Hercules: "There's a legend that when the mist's about, there's a ghost about, too. Take care on the old line, Baloo."

Baloo: "Stupid bird."

Narrator: "Said Baloo."

Baloo: "Owls, mist, ghosts, Hercules' going soft in the head. There's no mist."

Narrator: "But Baloo was wrong."

Baloo: "What's that?"

Narrator: "Cried Baloo."

Baloo's Driver: "It's an amber lamp."

Narrator: "Murmured his driver."

Baloo's Driver: "That means 'proceed with caution'.

Who's there?"

Narrator: "No one replied.

Baloo crept slowly forward. He stopped by a tree. It had a sign nailed to it. 'BEWARE OF THE VIADUCT'.

The driver was surprised."

Baloo's Driver: "No one warned us about that before. And look! The light's red, and the gates are closed! A-a-a-a-and there's a fogman's coat! But where is its owner?"

Narrator: "Then, they saw a light move within the station building."

Baloo: "G-g-g-g-ghosts!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Baloo."

Baloo: "Hercules was right!"

Baloo's Driver: "Something very strange is happening."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Baloo's Driver: "I think it's best we go back."

Baloo: "So do I!"

Narrator: "Agreed Baloo.

By morning, the mist had cleared. An workman was talking about the unsafe viaduct."

Workman "Lucky you didn't cross it last night."

Baloo's Driver: "Yes, but we don't know who warned us!"

Narrator: "Replied Baloo's driver.

Later that day, he spoke to Baloo."

Baloo's Driver: "The viaduct has been repaired. We can take our monkeys back along the old line tonight."

Narrator: "Baloo really didn't want to.

But when nightfall came, he was sizzling nicely. Suddenly, an owl hooted, and then Sir Ector thundered by."

A Monkey: "Oh, look, Baloo's spooked."

Narrator: "Said a monkey."

(Monkeys laugh)

Baloo: "Be quiet!"

Narrator: "Snapped Baloo."

Baloo: "I'm not scared!"

Narrator: "But he was.

A little later, the fog came down.

As they approached the same area, they saw the amber light again."

Baloo's Driver: "Here we go."

Narrator: "Said Baloo's driver.

Then, unknown to Baloo, the gates mysteriously closed by themselves, and the light went red. The monkeys had seen everything, and they were spooked."

Monkeys: "Faster! Faster! There's a ghost about!"

Baloo: "Stop! Stop!"

Narrator: "Yelled Baloo."

(Baloo and the monkeys crash though the gate)

"A mysterious figure watched Baloo go by. Ahead was a landslide blocking the line. Baloo stopped hard, but the monkeys hit some of the rubble and plunged into the ravine."

(Monkeys crash)

"Just then, Baloo's driver saw a strange sight coming towards them."

Baloo's Driver: "What's that?"

Narrator: "He said, the fireman laughed."

Baloo's Fireman: "That's our ghost. It's Otto, the fogman."

Narrator: "Otto was very cross."

Otto: "I tried to warn you about the viaduct. Why didn't you pay attention?"

Baloo's Driver: "We're sorry."

Narrator: "Replied the driver."

Baloo's Driver: "Is there anything we can do to thank you.

Otto: "I'd like to operate that old station. If you let me, I promise it won't spook Baloo again."

Narrator: "And in a little while, Otto's wish was granted."

Mickey Mouse: "You and your station will be really useful."

Narrator: "Said Mickey Mouse."

Mickey Mouse: "Let's hear a hearty 'thank you' to the friendliest, uh, ghost in Disneyland."

Narrator: "Everyone cheered, Especially Baloo, who was the happiest of all."
