The local Government claimed "eminent domain" on people's homes, then turned around and sold the properties to Disney. Disney bought up a ton of high-priced land for the project, and there was actually a scandal surrounding some of the purchases. Mowgli's Palace was a controversial undertaking from the start. Mowgli is an abandoned child, in the jungle, essentially raised by animals and simultaneously threatened/pursued by other animals. If you haven't seen it anywhere else, you'd know it as the Disney cartoon from decades past. If you're unfamiliar with the character of Mowgli, then you might better remember the story "The Jungle Book". The concept was a Jungle-themed resort with a large, you guessed it, PALACE in the center of the whole thing. Near the beachside city of Emerald Isle in North Carolina, Disney began construction of "Mowgli's Palace" in the late 1990s. No, I sincerely doubt those reasons were legitimate. It wasn't because of sand, and it obviously wasn't because "foreigners are lazy". That's where the factual nature of their story ends.

It didn't START as a ghost town! Disney's cruise ships would actually stop at the resort and leave tourists there to relax in luxury.ĭisney blew $30,000,000 on the place. Some of you may have heard that the Disney corporation is responsible for at least one real, "live" Ghost Town.ĭisney built the "Treasure Island" resort in Baker's Bay in the Bahamas. ☀ this was taken from creepypasta wiki credit goes to the original author.
