Template:Species-infobox Grabbing Ghosts[1] are a type of ghost encountered in Luigi's Mansion. They attack by grabbing hold of Luigi from behind and squeezing him, which prevents movement. The player has to shake the Control Stick to throw off a Grabbing Ghost. As they move, they constantly make gasping or wheezing noises.

The weakest Grabbing Ghost is light white and has ten Heart Points, while all other types have twenty. The white type cannot damage Luigi, but will still grab him, leaving him vulnerable to attacks from another ghost. Red Grabbing Ghosts will damage Luigi for 5-13 points of damage, letting go if he takes the maximum amount of damage. The turquoise Mirror Ghosts[2] are completely invisible unless Luigi stuns one with his flashlight. However, they are visible in the large mirror on the wall of the Mirror Room, the only room in which they are encountered. Another hint to their location is a small puff of dust on the ground that appears when they materialize. Later on, purple Cinema Ghosts[2] appear, which Luigi has to detect via their silhouette cast on a movie screen in the Projection Room; similar to Mirror Ghosts, this is the only room in which they can be found. Like Mirror Ghosts, they leave behind a dust cloud when they materialize. These two types are otherwise identical to the red type. All of the variations can be hurt by any element as well.
