Ghost House

Super Mario World
Ghost Houses, listed in the Super Mario World manual as Haunted Houses, are large buildings where various Boos live. Since the player can save his or her game every time one of these houses is completed in Super Mario World, it is encouraged that Ghost Houses are returned to regularly as a way to save progress. There are six Ghost Houses in Dinosaur Land: two in Donut Plains,  one inside the Vanilla Dome areas, one in the Forest of Illusion, one on Chocolate Island, and one in Valley of Bowser. As with Castles, Yoshi will stay outside of the Ghost House when Mario or Luigi enters. The given reason is Yoshi's fear of ghosts, but the technical reason is because the doors inside ghost houses (and castles) can't be entered while riding Yoshi.

Wii, this time with Boos flying around them, just like in Super Mario World.
