About
The  is a character from the Haunted Mansion that was removed from the attraction shortly after it opened in 1969. Despite this, he has appeared in various media related to the attraction. He officially returned to the attraction on May 9, 2015.

In life, the hatter had some unknown affiliation to Constance Hatchaway, a serial-killer from California who targeted wealthy men to marry and murder. Hatchaway's modus operandi was to kill men with an axe, decapitate them and keep their severed heads within hatboxes; hatboxes which at some point the Hatbox Ghost came in possession of. Constance is known to have killed at-least four wealthy men in this fashion between 1869 and 1876; seemingly all in the state of California. Although the means of his death is never disclosed, it is presumed it is associated with Hatchaway chopping his head off as well. He ultimately appears in the mansion in the same attic as the Bride, where his head appears first on his body before eerily moving to his trademark hatbox in his hand leaving him headless.
