The Ghost Knigh is a popular nickname for the ghost of a human man.
Description[]
Little is known about this ghost, appearing as a skeleton with malevolent gleaming eyes wearing black, rusty armor. He was once posted outside the Picture Room of the Old Gore Mansion.
Behind the scenes[]
The Ghost Knight was a possible character for the Haunted Mansion ride, sketched by Ken Anderson in the 1950's. At that time, the Mansion was intended to be not the familiar Gracey Manor, but the Old Gore Mansion, later established by Disney Kingdoms' Haunted Mansion and A Haunted Mansion Tale as canonically existing separate from Gracey Manor in-universe. As such, although the Ghost Knight does not appear in A Haunted Mansion Tale, it can be assumed that he is in fact one of the ghosts of the Old Gore Mansion.
Though not implemented, he inspired two later characters, the Knight of the Living Dead and the Haunted Armor. The non-canonical 2003 movie would go on to feature an entire hallway of malevolent ghost knights in armor, though none of them exactly resembles any of the three Knights and thus it may have been a mere coincidence.
The Knight in the Tribute Museum.
In 2013, a functional animatronic of the Ghost Knight was finally created, and featured at the Tribute to the Haunted Mansion exhibit of Spooky Empire for three days (from October the 25th to October the 27th).
