'''Nana, the Scarf-Knitting Granny''' (Japanese: ババーラ ''Babāra'') is one of the ghosts from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. She is found in the aptly-named [[Nana's Room]], in the third area of the [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|mansion]]. When [[Luigi]] enters the room, he sees Nana knitting a scarf; he then knocks her nearby yarn balls onto the floor, thus provoking her into floating around the room on her rocking chair. Luigi must suck up the three yarn balls and hit Nana with them to expose her heart to attack, all the while avoiding her needle eye beams. If Luigi misses when trying to hit Nana with the yarn, she cackles and disappears. The only way to make her appear is to exit the room and enter again. She tries to escape with medium pulls but she is unable to defeat Luigi.
Nana is found in [[Nana's Room]], doing her usual activity of knitting a scarf. When [[Luigi]] knocks the balls of yarn onto the floor, Nana is provoked and starts moving around on her rocking chair, shooting beams from her eyes that inflict ten HP of damage. After being hit by all three yarn balls, Nana's heart is exposed, leaving her vulnerable to the [[Poltergust 3000]]. However, if Luigi misses, Nana cackles and disappears; normally, Luigi has to exit then re-enter the room, but in the remake's Boss Rush mode, this restarts the battle.

*Nana is the oldest portrait ghost (that has a known age) in Luigi's Mansion.
<gallery>
*In Nana's diary near the bookshelf, it is written that she once played a prank on [[Miss Petunia]] by putting ice in the bathtub she was in. This is a clue to defeating Petunia, as Luigi can later use [[Elemental Ghost|ice]] to weaken her.

*Nana's name suggests that she is a grandmother, possibly to [[Henry and Orville]], as she owns the key to their room.
Nana Silver frame LM3DS.png|Silver frame (remake)
**Thus, she is probably [[Neville]]'s mother, as their names in Japanese are alike ([[Neville]]: パパーラ ''Papāra'', Nana: ババーラ ''Babāra''). In English, both names start with "N".

*Curiously, both [[Neville]] and Nana are in the second floor (reinforcing the idea that she belongs to the "2F family") and use rocking chairs.

*Oddly, Nana is the only portrait ghost that has a blurry representation of herself on her gold frame. This is in reference to famous painting "Scream"

*There is a painting on the right wall of the Parlor in that resembles Nana, possibly depicting her when she was alive.
