“Deadliest Catch” has built quite a passionate fan base during its nearly 20 years on the air. Now, audiences of Disney’s new “Haunted Mansion” film have learned some of its viewers — like the Mariner Ghost (Creek Wilson) — regularly watch the show from beyond. Thanks to the movie’s reality TV-binging ghoul, F/V Northwestern Captain Sig Hansen and other stars of the Discovery series make a few cameos throughout “Haunted Mansion.”

The first occurs when the Mariner Ghost follows Ben Matthias (LaKeith Stanfield) home following the tour guide’s first visit to the mansion. As Ben attempts to watch television, the Mariner Ghost keeps changing the program to “Deadliest Catch,” much to Ben’s fear and annoyance. Later, when he’s needed to help defeat the villainous Hatbox Ghost (Jared Leto), the Mariner Ghost is found perched in front of the screen, once again watching his favorite show.

In the end, this sea-loving spirit is finally able to live the Hansen life. As thanks for assisting in the defeat of the Hatbox Ghost, Ben takes the Mariner Ghost to a dock where he’s able to steal his very own vessel, cleverly named the F/V Foolish Mortals — a nod to the classic Disney ride.

Deadliest Catch stars aren’t credited for their Haunted Mansion cameos

At the time of this writing, it’s unclear whether or not Sig Hansen and the other “Deadliest Catch” members are aware that Disney uses clips from their show in “Haunted Mansion.” None of them are credited in the film, nor have they mentioned their involvement on social media.

Still, being referenced in other pop culture projects isn’t new for Hansen and his fellow crab fishermen. Several “Deadliest Catch” cast members are the central focus of “South Park” Season 13, Episode 11 (“Whale Whores”), which sees Stan Marsh (Trey Parker) helm the Sea Shepherd on a reality show.

Additionally, Jake Anderson’s F/V Saga makes an appearance in “Jurassic World Dominion,” which the captain did know about. In fact, Anderson snapped a photo in front of the Jurassic World sign at Universal Studios in response. Since “Haunted Mansion” is still new, it’s possible that, in the coming weeks, one of the cast members will snap a photo in front of the Haunted Mansion ride or otherwise pay homage to the Mariner Ghost, their No. 1 spooky supporter.
