The Hole Ghosts are a unique group of ghosts that cross over from holes in a haunted mansion in Arkham.
History[]
The Hole Ghosts were ghosts that haunted the mansion of the Limburgers. Madame Limburger found a ghost resembling an old man in her bed that was telling a bizarre joke and melting. After three weeks, the Limburgers then called the Ghostbusters to get rid of the ghosts.[2][3][4][5][6] Egon Spengler traced the ghosts upstairs.[7] The Ghostbusters found out that ghosts were appearing in the house through holes. They also discovered that the sizes of the holes the ghosts came out of determined the sizes of the ghosts themselves. They eventually accidentally destroyed the house but a giant 50 foot wide hole was not covered up. A giant ghost emerged from the wreckage of the house. Winston Zeddemore had a small piece of wood with a hole in his hand, which he threw into the mouth of the ghost, making it implode and disappear.[8]
