'''Nana, the Scarf-Knitting Granny''', is one of the [[portrait ghost]]s from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. She is found in [[Nana's Room|her own room]], in the third area of the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]]. Nana resides in the room knitting a scarf, which she never finished in life and has gotten very long. Her portrait number in [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]]'s gallery is 3.


'''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.

*On the bookshelf, Nana has a diary that states that she once pulled a prank on [[Miss Petunia]] by using the [[element medal|Ice Element]] on her bathtub; this is the same strategy [[Luigi]] must use to defeat her.
*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.
*Strangely, in the gallery, Nana's portrait is #4 despite the fact that she is the 14th ghost caught.
