'''Ghost T.''' is a deceased [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' who died on the [[Excess Express]] many years before the game's setting and now exists in limbo between this world and the next (in cabin 004, to be precise). The name "Ghost T." is a pun on "ghosty", which is a diminutive of "ghost". Of course, the T. stands for "'''t'''oad".

In order to get him to appear, enter room 004, and use [[Vivian]]'s Shadow move and wait a while. Ghost T. will appear inside room 004.

As with many ghosts, he is trying to resolve earthly conflicts before moving on to the next life. He lingers on the train because he left his [[Ragged Diary|Diary]] in the baggage car and does not want anybody except himself to read it (reason unknown). [[Mario]] retrieves the diary for him and gives it to Ghost T. Soon, a column of light shines on the specter, and he begins to ascend into the next world. However, he stops partway up, deciding to stay in the earthly realm; his reason for staying is that he likes the wallpaper of his train cabin. He died on the Excess Express because the dish he ate in the dining car had a [[Poison Shroom]] in it{{refneeded}}. Ghost T.'s death did not affect the seemingly famous train, and even reading his diary (which will result in him [[Game Over|destroying]] Mario with a [[Dizzy Dial]]-like animation) reveals no information, simply stating that Ghost T. "got on a train" at an unknown time and ending with the phrase "And on that train...", at which Ghost T. would appear and deliver the aforementioned Game Over.
