When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls; Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still - that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight! Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host, your... ghost host. [chuckles] Kindly step all the way in please and make room for everyone. There's no turning back now. [laughs slowly in a low voice] Our tour begins here in this gallery where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state. Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this haunted room actually stretching? Or is it your imagination, hmm? And consider this dismaying observation: This chamber has no windows and no doors... [chuckles] which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAA...!!! Of course, there's always my way!

Ride[]
After his death, The Ghost Host became omnipresent within the mansion, able to oversee all of the activity within. Despite his tragic death, he keeps a hospitable and even mischievous air about him, welcoming in "foolish mortals" and jokingly threatening them throughout the ride. He seems to have embraced his position as the undead master of the house, toying with guests and even laughing at the subject of his own suicide when he shows off his hanging corpse.
A portrait of him can be seen in alongside the other members of the sinister 11, with the image of an hideous man holding a hatchet. It is also believed that many of the portraits in the mansion are of him.
The Ghost Host also narrates the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay.
