They wear robes of varying colors and eyeless [[Shy Guy]] masks. Ghost Guys are equipped with pitchforks resembling those carried by [[Beezo]]s. All Ghost Guys have 20 HP. A Ghost Guy's mask falls off when using the [[Poltergust 3000]] on it, revealing two yellow eyes and a small black hole for a mouth set on the hoods that they wear and leaving them vulnerable to a [[flashlight]] stun. There are two types between Ghost Guy colors: ones with plain white masks appear in red and green and will pursue Luigi slowly, with the red type jabbing at him and the green type twirling the spear when close enough; this type appears in the [[Astral Hall]]. Ghost Guys with red and white masks with drawn on mustaches dance in pairs (pink with purple, yellow with orange, and white with brown) in a circular motion, with one occasionally swinging its spear in a circular motion for the other to duck under. This type is called a '''Dancing Ghost Guy''' (originally known as '''dancing masked ghost'''<ref name=Brady/>). If Luigi captures one in a pair, its partner will pursue him like the red and green types, only spinning the spear to attack. A group of six dancing Ghost Guys appear in the [[Ball Room]], where [[The Floating Whirlindas]] appear after Luigi catches them, and another group of six appears on the [[Roof (Luigi's Mansion)|Roof]] near a fire. Ghost Guys are more widespread enemies in the PAL version's [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]], though Dancing ones appear slightly less, since the number on the roof has been reduced to two.
