Organ Banshees

The Organ Banshees are characters featured in the The Haunted Mansion attraction at the Disney Parks.
==Background==
These spirits are small white disembodied heads resembling humanoids having wisp-like traits. They are shown to have black eye sockets, nostrils, as well as screaming mouths. Hence their name, the banshees would float out of an ominous-looking organ used by the Organist playing a waltz version of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" throughout the Ballroom area.

===The Haunted Mansion/Phantom Manor===
In every version of the Haunted Mansion attraction located at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Tokyo Disneyland (including Phantom Manor), the organ banshees appear in the Great Hall area. They are seen emerging from the pipes used by the Organist who plays a waltz version of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" on his pipe organ which the spirits disappear into the air.
In the Florida version of Haunted Mansion in the queue area, carvings of the banshees are seen depicted onto a decoration of an organ seen on the Composer's crypt, a reference to how they emerge from the organ's pipes in the Ballroom area in the actual ride. Seven banshees were sculpted onto the organ in the queue.
