It was an idea for connecting Pirates and Haunted. It's all that's left of the idea - J.Sparrow  13.3 #5948 11:04AM

Yeah, it had something to do with connecting pirates, mansion, and I think TS Island as well. If you can ever find the article about it, it's a very interesting read. - outatime  23.0 #4811 11:07AM

CRYPT DATED 1764 In New Orleans Square, near the Haunted Mansion, there is what appears to be an old crypt. Covered with bricks and dated 1764, the crypt is built into to the wall along the Rivers of America. There are lots of stories and rumors about this odd Disney Detail. The crypt might have been part of the wealthy pirate backstory, originally meant to tie the Haunted Mansion to Pirates of the Caribbean. It may also be an attempt to link the manor to Jean Lafitte, a pirate & privateer in the New Orleans area, who fought against the British in the War of 1812. Another story claims that the date of 1764, is a tribute to one of the Imagineers who helped create New Orleans Square.   - GoofyJoe  1864.1 #41 11:14AM
