'''Madame Clairvoya, the Freaky-Fortune Teller''', is a fortune-telling spirit and an ally of [[Luigi]], appearing as one of the portrait ghosts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. Her name is an abbreviation of "clairvoyance", referring to extra-sensory perception (ESP), including the ability to see into the future. Madame comes from a part of a common fortuneteller name. Clairvoya has the ability to read fortunes by examining personal belongings. She also owns a [[Crystal Ball|crystal ball]] to help her see events to come. However, according to [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s [[Game Boy Horror]], the ball lets Clairvoya see less than 49 days into the future. Clairvoya's portrait number in Professor E. Gadd's gallery is 7.

===''Luigi's Mansion''===
Madame Clairvoya is located in the [[Fortune-teller's Room]], but she does not reveal herself unless Luigi shines his flashlight on the crystal ball until it shines. During [[Luigi]]'s search for his brother [[Mario]], he discovers five objects that Mario lost in the mansion; [[Mario Cap|Mario's Hat]], [[Mario's Glove]], [[Mario's Shoe]], [[Mario's Letter]], and [[Mario's Star (item)|Mario's Star]].

Luigi brings these items to Madame Clairvoya, who examines them and predicts events that are happening in [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|the mansion]]. These items do not have to be given in a specific order.  Upon examining the items, Madame Clairvoya gives the following readings:

Through her readings, Clairvoya predicts the arrival of the evil [[Bowser]] (who is actually just [[King Boo]] in the final battle using a mechanical - though lifelike - Bowser decoy). After this final prediction, Clairvoya loses her powers of precognition.

Because she is afraid of Bowser and feels her purpose is fulfilled, Madame Clairvoya begs Luigi to return her to her portrait frame. She exposes her heart so Luigi can suck her up and, before he shines his flashlight on her, she giggles at the thought of returning to her "''sanctuary''" portrait and locks up the doors so Luigi can not go out. All Luigi has to do is turn on the flashlight, shine it on her, turn on his [[Poltergust 3000]], and suck her up. In spite of this, Madame Clairvoya drops a [[Poison Mushroom]] and struggles slightly with the capture, though her pull is the weakest of any ghost with a heart, not moving Luigi much at all.

In 3DS Boss Rush mode, Madame Clairvoya exposes her heart after Luigi shines the crystal ball.

*Madame Clairvoya's silver frame portrait appears in the [[GCN Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]] battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The only other non-area boss [[portrait ghost]] to have a portrait cameo is [[Mr. Luggs]], whose portrait is also identical to his silver frame.
**Her silver frame is also seen in the [[DS Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]] track for ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.
*She is the only ghost in the whole game (not restricted to portrait ghosts) to willingly let herself be sucked up by the Poltergust 3000 without putting much of a fight at all, though like all portrait ghosts, she drops a [[Poison Mushroom]] after taking a certain amount of damage.
*She is the only ghost in the game who is an enemy to King Boo and an ally, rather than enemy, to Luigi.
*Madame Clairvoya, with the [[Clockwork Soldiers]] and [[The Floating Whirlindas]], are the only human-esque ghosts that have an unknown age in ''Luigi's Mansion''.
