*According to [[Nana]]'s diary, the grandmother ghost once played a practical joke on Miss Petunia by filling her bathtub with ice while the former "Miss Ghost" runner-up was away. When Miss Petunia returned to her bath, she was in for quite a shock. This diary entry gives Luigi a clue on how to capture Petunia.
<references/>
*In the E3 2001 playable demo of Luigi's Mansion, Luigi enters the bathroom in which Miss Petunia is ordinarily bathing in. While her silhouette is visible, when Luigi opens the curtain, no one is there. This could be purely to add a bit of eeriness to the game, or possibly Miss Petunia needed to be exposed by other means. Before Luigi enters Miss Petunia's bathroom, he exits the dining room from a door on the opposite wall from what appears to be the door to the [[Sealed Room]]. In the final version, the  bathroom where Miss Petunia showers is on the second floor rather than the first. A video clip containing this content can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNc5WVyejD8 here].
*When the curtain is closed, Miss Petunia's silhouette is a thin, svelte figure washing her hair, until the curtain is moved, revealing her actual figure. Her silhouette is possibly how she looked in her "Miss Ghost" days.
