The shaker box is inspired by the tombstones visible from the queue at the Magic Kingdom. Each of the "dearly departed" is an Imagineer that worked on the attraction. The tombstone I used says,
"At Peaceful Rest Lies Brother Claude. Planted Here Beneath This Sod."
Brother Claude, refers to Claude Coates, one of the primary designers for the Haunted Mansion. Claude designed basically, everything before the ballroom scene. The Ballroom and Graveyard scenes were done by Marc Davis, who has his own tombstone.
The library pocket and tag were inspired by the "Beware of Hitchhiking" scene which is just before the unload area. I printed the ghosts on a lt blue vellum and then backed them with purple paper. The background of the letters is the same image that is on the wallpaper inside the attraction. The shape of the cutout is reminiscent of the arch the ghosts appear in on the attraction.
