for some reason people are saying that the talking witch stunt was new for this year. I believe this stunt was added some time before 2004( the year I rode the haunted mansion the first time). Because the first time I rode it I distinctly remember it in the same location it is today. Dose anyone know when this stunt was added to the haunted mansion?

I'm under the impression it was new for the 2008 season. My reasoning is that the DVD from Laff in the Dark, which was released in 2008 does not have the Witch. My guess is that they filmed the DVD during the 2007-2008 off-season, and the stunt was not installed until afterwards. It was there in 2008, and for the first time, as far as I know...

However, before it did have this sound effect that sounded like laughter.

^^ ya. I was wondering why they didn't have it. It's probably a video projection or hologram. Honestly I'm not sure what the stunt is made out of.

Yeah, it's actually a video projection onto a blank face, like the singing busts and Madame Leola in Disney's Haunted Mansion.
When I was there this July, I saw the witch. Then there was a really heavy thunderstorm mid-day, and a small 5-second black-out around the park. When I went on latter in the day, the Witch wasn't working at all. No Audio, no video, only the light as the car reaches the top. When it did light up, she looked headless. Funny though...every other stunt was fine...just the witch was broken...

Yeah, a couple of weeks ago I saw on flickr.com a photo of the witch not in operation, and to me it looks like one of those styrofoam heads used for hats. It's pretty neat. Those strings in that incline always got me!

Thw witch along with the monsters behind the bars are new-ish. They used to be spinning faces.
