The '''ghosts''' are species from the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]] and are the series' main enemies. Ghosts first appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Nintendo 3DS version]]. The ghosts in the game are created by the ghost artist [[Vincent Van Gore]] after [[King Boo]] releases him from his portrait, along with the other [[portrait ghost]]s. Ghosts never appear in the direction [[Luigi]] is looking, which [[Professor Elvin Gadd|E. Gadd]] also mentions. Sucking up more than one ghost at a time will always give a heart, with the exception of [[Mr. Bones]] and the [[Garbage Can Ghost]].
Different types of ghosts appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', the sequel to ''Luigi's Mansion'', and inhabit [[Evershade Valley]]. These ghosts are friendly, due the influence of the [[Dark Moon]], and help Professor E. Gadd with his paranormal research. However, when King Boo destroys the Dark Moon, the ghosts turn against E. Gadd and go on a rampage, under King Boo's command. Luigi once again comes up behind them, catching them, defeats King Boo, and repairs the Dark Moon, making them friendly yet again.
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', another set of different ghosts appear as Hellen Gravely's and King Boo's minions. They were part of E. Gadd's collection of ghosts along with King Boo before he was tricked by Hellen into coming to her hotel, trapping him and freeing them and King Boo. They initially are disguised as human employees of the Last Resort hotel when Luigi, [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and three [[Toads]] arrive, although after all but Luigi were captured, they stopped using the disguises. Luigi, with [[Gooigi]] joining him, ultimately recaptured them. After the Last Resort Hotel was destroyed, the ghosts escaped from the containment field and were about to attack Luigi, only for King Boo's gem to mysteriously vanish and cause the ghosts to regain their senses, also being distraught over the destruction of the Last Resort before E. Gadd offered to help them rebuild. After the repairs were done, E. Gadd, Gooigi, and the ghosts bade Luigi, Mario, Princess Peach, and the Toads farewell.
''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' each have an unlockable [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Ghosts from the first ''Luigi's Mansion'', and it shows a [[Gold Ghost]], a [[Purple Puncher]], and a [[Blue Twirler]]. In both games, the trophy is unlocked at random, and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''{{'}}s trophy was even slightly retextured from the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' one. ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', instead has an unlockable trophy of Ghosts from ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' and depicts a [[Greenie]], a [[Hider]], a [[Gobber]], and a [[Slammer (enemy)|Slammer]].

Different types of ghosts appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', the sequel to ''Luigi's Mansion'', however, these ghosts are friendly and help Professor E. Gadd. However, when the [[Dark Moon]] is destroyed by King Boo, the ghosts turn against E. Gadd and go on a rampage, commanded by King Boo.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', the first letters of the Ghosts' names spell out "GHOST", similarly to the names of the mansions, Possessors, and bonus missions in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''.
*The trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' is simply a slightly-retextured version of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' trophy.
*In [[List of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content|early versions]] of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', some of the normal ghosts had noses.
