Fact Check: Horror Story Of Twins Lily And Rose Parker Disappearing At Disneyland Is Fiction -- No News Reports AI Photo

Is there any truth to the viral story about the disappearance of twins Lily and Rose Parker in 1985 in Disneyland and their skeletons being found in 2013? No, that's not true: The story originated on a Facebook page that says it publishes "horror and true stories" but according to a detection tool the image used with the post was made using AI. There were no actual mentions in news reports or on government websites about the twins in the story.

The story appeared in a post (archived here) on a Facebook page named "Mysterious mystery" where it was published on October 2, 2025 and it read:

The Twins Who Vanished at Disneyland in 1985 -- And the Dark Secret Unearthed 28 Years Later...
In the summer of 1985, Disneyland was alive with joy and fireworks when Lily and Rose Parker, identical twins in same dresses, vanished without a trace. They were last seen giggling near a crowded ride, their hands clasped as always, before melting into the crowd forever.
Despite relentless searches -- rides drained, tunnels scoured, witnesses questioned -- no evidence surfaced. Whispers spread of a man in a staff jacket, but with no proof, the case grew cold, leaving only eerie rumors of laughter echoing through the park after dark.
Nearly three decades later, in 2013, renovation crews uncovered a sealed corridor beneath the park. Inside sat two small skeletons, shackled in rusted chains, with tatters of pink fabric still clinging to them. On the wall behind were dozens of crude carvings of two children holding hands, the last line unfinished.
Authorities confirmed the remains were Lily and Rose, but no suspect was ever named, and Disney buried the discovery in silence. Yet night guards whisper that the twins never truly left -- their giggles and the sound of dragging chains still haunt the "Happiest Place on Earth."

The story said confirmation about the identity of the skeletons came from "authorities" but according to a Google search no government websites have any pages or documents that mention "Lily Parker", "Rose Parker" and "Disney" together (archived here). A Google News search for news reports mentioning the twins and Disney didn't turn up any results mentioning the story either (archived here).
