The '''Ceiling Surprise''' is a white ghost with a freaky smile that hides on the ceiling, and drops down to freak out [[Luigi]] when he's not looking. It is generally coupled with another common ghost, usually [[Bowling Ghost|Bowling Ghosts]]. Ceiling Surprises are extremely weak with 0 HP, and always drop a 10- or 20-HP restoring Heart when captured. You may want to point the vacuum upwards for best suction results. It also goes away when sprayed by an element. But no matter what, Ceiling Surprises keep returning until the area is complete.

Ceiling Surprises, also known as white danglers,[1] are smiling light pink ghosts that hide on the ceiling and drop down to startle Luigi in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. They are generally coupled with another common ghost, usually Bowling Ghosts, especially in the Area Two and Area Three hallways. They have a bomb-dropping variant called Purple Bombers. Defeating the Ceiling Surprise in the Bottom of the Well is required to obtain the key to the Rec Room. Ceiling Surprises are the weakest ghosts: Other than having zero HP, they are incapable of attacking Luigi. Ceiling Surprises always drop a 10- or 20 HP-restoring heart when vacuumed but not if defeated from an element.

Creepers from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Trappers from Luigi's Mansion 3 have a similar attack strategy to Ceiling Surprises.
