The sound comes from Lonesome Ghosts, a 1937 Mickey Mouse cartoon in which Mickey, Donald Duck and Goofy take a job removing ghosts from a haunted mansion, only to be tormented by the spirits themselves. The screaming and laughing heard here belongs to those prankster ghosts as they enjoy frightening their would-be exterminators. Decades later the clip found a second life on soundboards and in short-form videos, where its vintage cartoon tone makes it instantly recognisable. It remains popular because it sounds spooky without being genuinely scary, so it suits comedy as well as Halloween content.

Spooky cartoon ghosts scream and laugh in this clip from Mickey Mouse's Lonesome Ghosts, perfect for Halloween edits, pranks and spooky reaction videos.
This nearly twenty second clip captures a chorus of mischievous cartoon ghosts shrieking, cackling and howling over each other in the exaggerated style of a 1930s Disney short. High pitched screams slide into wheezy giggles, then build again into frantic laughter, with no dialogue to interrupt the chaos. The effect is instantly spooky but playful rather than frightening, like a haunted house scene played for comedy. It works because the voices sound both ghostly and gleefully naughty, turning a simple scare into a joke that lands immediately for viewers of any age.
