Ghost Houses, listed in the Super Mario World manual as Haunted Houses, are large buildings where various Boos live. They first appeared in Super Mario World and soon appeared in later Mario platformer games such as New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario World
Ghost Houses' first appearance was in Super Mario World, where there were 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, and some enemies located inside do not work properly with Yoshi.
Super Mario 64
Big Boo's Haunt of Super Mario 64 is a Ghost House.
Super Mario Sunshine
The only Ghost House of Super Mario Sunshine is Sirena Beach's Hotel Delfino.
New Super Mario Bros.
Several Ghost Houses are in New Super Mario Bros.; these introduced more new ghost species such as the Phantom Hand. The game also featured the exclusive Ghost House quirk of having Boos cover up the bottom screen while Mario or Luigi was inside a Ghost House.
Super Mario Galaxy
The level Ghostly Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, has a ghost house in it. Luigi is held captive there. The Boo Mushroom that turns Mario into Boo Mario is seen here for the first time.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The Ghost Houses from the previous game re-appeared in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, this time with Boos flying around them, just like in Super Mario World.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
There are two ghost house based galaxies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. The first one, Haunty Halls Galaxy features a ghost house that is invisible unless Yoshi eats a Bulb Berry. The second, Boo Moon Galaxy, features a dark planet and a tower resembling a ghost house, as well as a graveyard.
Yoshi series
Yoshi's Safari
The level Ghost Mansion in the game Yoshi's Safari is a Ghost House. The level is full of Boos, Podoboos, Nipper Plants and a Lakitu mini-boss that Mario and Yoshi must shoot down with the super scope. Mario and Yoshi will eventually reach the end to face Big Boo the level's boss.
Paper Mario series
Boo's Mansion of Paper Mario and Creepy Steeple in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a Ghost House. And also will have one Ghost House at the new Paper Mario Game in production to be released to Nintendo 3DS.
Luigi's Mansion
Luigi's Mansion from the game of the same name is a ghost house.
Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix
During Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix a Ghost House is found in Wario's Carnival. Though this so-called "Ghost House" is actually a traditional false haunted house (as seen in several real world carnivals), it actually contains Boos and the occasional Big Bubble.
