Does anyone know somewhere that I can get the two tombstones from Disney's Haunted Mansion as well as the lifesize hitchhiking ghost?

i don't know, but you should ask this forum Welcome, Foolish Mortals... to DoomBuggies - a Tribute to Disney's Haunted Mansion > Free email, fan forums, multimedia and more...
if they don't know, i don't know who would

thnx Ill try them too!

You can get pretty good details from Haunted Dimensions.

Their page The Creation of the 3D Mansion also has some good visuals.

which two tombstones are you speaking of? Outside there are about 15 or so (including pets), and inside in the graveyard there are about 100....

Here is a complete list of WDW's Haunted Mansion tombstones, and in some
cases, which Imagineer they reference to. (outside only)

The hitchhiking ghosts are another story entirely. doombuggies.com has a FANTASTIC behind the scenes section on the Haunted Mansion... I actually just reread it on Friday Night, and picked up a few new ideas... (always the propbuilder!) I think you would probably have to build your own hitch hiking ghost, unless you have a LOT of money... but you can get some insight at least on what goes into creating them, and how they are used...

Halloweinerdog, I'm sorry but I really would be most apreciative if you could elaborate...

THERE IS A "LIFESIZE" HITCHIKING GHOST?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Have you seen this, are there images somewhere???? OMG!!!! That would be just... WOW!

I'd watch ebay, sooner or later, everything end up there.

well Mr. Grimsley I just typed in hitchhiking ghosts haunted mansion and pics of them came up, one is cousin huet and one is brother dave and they are the size of a child, so they're not huge but they're pretty neat, also they have blue lights built into the bottom that shine up at them, it's pretty neat.

MandatheWitch the two tombstones I am looking for are:

REST IN PEACE COUSIN HUET we all know you didn't do it
DEAR DEPARTED BROTHER DAVE he chased a bear into a cave

but I want the I think 2006 editions ones which lthe face on the tombstone lights up, the newer ones are just stone looking and not as eerie
