|ttyd=The diary the ghost kept. You shouldn't read it.

The '''Ragged Diary''' is an item in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It is a diary that belongs to [[Ghost T.]] While alive, Ghost T. was a passenger on the [[Excess Express]]. Ghost T. later died in his cabin and is tied to it by his fear of someone ever reading his diary, which was still in the baggage car of the Excess Express.

When [[Mario]] and his [[party member|partner]]s come to Ghost T.'s room (Cabin 004), he is not visible. Mario has to [[Veil|hide]] with [[Vivian]] for a couple of seconds to make him appear. When he does, he asks Mario to find his diary, but he warns Mario not to read it. When Mario finds the Ragged Diary in the baggage car, he must return it to Ghost T., who then gives Mario a [[blanket]] to be given to the [[Excess Express conductor|train conductor]]. Alternately, Mario has an option to read the diary or not, although the game will warn him three times. If he chooses to read it, he reads only the following:

Before Mario can read any further, Ghost T. appears and yells at Mario for not listening to him, followed by the screen warbling and rotating multiple times before resulting in an instant [[Game Over]]. In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version]], when Mario reads the diary, the screen turns monochrome and the effects turn static, and after he reads the diary, an {{wp|iris shot|iris out}} appears instead of the screen warbling and rotating. Also in the [[Nintendo Switch]] version, Mario must place the diary in the cabin's drawer after bringing it to Ghost T. The drawer cannot be opened afterwards.
