The Pallo Mansion ghosts were a ghostly couple that haunted the Pallo Mansion in Ray Stantz's childhood hometown, Morrisville.[2]
History[]
When the aforementioned Ghostbuster visited his old hometown, he is prompted to help his friend, Elaine Phermon to rid a house she inherited of its resident ghosts.[3] Ray was overpowered and humiliated by the Class 2's because Ray's old rival Alan Favish had cast a spell that enveloped the ghosts with negative energy, making regular ghostbusting equipment useless. The Class 2's left the mansion and ruined the Winged Puma Parade. By the time the other Ghostbusters came to help Ray, the spell had worn off, enabling them to easily capture the two ghosts.
At the height of Robo-Buster's popularity, Paul Smart ran a television commercial that spotlighted his creation and mocked the Ghostbusters. For the commercial, footage of Robo-Buster destroying a purple ghost resembling the female Pallo Mansion ghost was used. However, the ghosts was not destroyed in the conventional sense. Instead, it became part of the Spectral Mass that went after Smart. The Ghostbusters eventually trapped all the ghosts that formed the mass, including the purple female ghost.
Classification[]
When Ray first arrives at the Pallo Mansion, his P.K.E. Meter read the ghosts as Class 2 Mini Wraiths.[4]
Powers[]
When enveloped in negative energy, they became large monstrous versions of themselves and caused a lot of havoc.
Personality[]
In their regular forms, the ghosts were shy and practically harmless. As a result, they never left the mansion.[5] They were pretty fierce in their monster forms. It was also made evident that they can speak when the female Class 2 told her friend to "go for a long one" in the duo's monster forms and the male Class 2 asked the Ghostbusters if they could take a joke right before getting trapped.
