He was known for his love of books and spent his time reading in the study. Neville was specifically shown reading a book called ''Mario Story'' (which was the Japanese title for ''[[Paper Mario]]''). In his heart quote, he taunted Luigi for being unable to see him.

His Big Baby Care Diary was also found in the same room, and it contained hints on how to deal with Henry and Orville. Several portraits resembling him, possibly depicting how he looked when he was alive, were also found in several rooms of the mansion. | His Big Baby Care Diary was also found in the same room, and it contained hints on how to deal with Henry and Orville.

| − | Lydia was the wife of Neville and the mother of Orville, Henry and Chancey. She stashed her savings away for her long afterlife. Her favorite hobby was mirror-gazing, but she hated the cold. Lydia spent her time in the Master Bedroom, where she focused on adjusting her hair while looking into her mirror. In her heart quote, she admired her hair and talked about how bored she was when trapped in a portrait. She also noted that she seemed to be scaring people while looking in her mirror, so everything was "coming up roses". Luigi could use his Poltergust to pull the room's window curtain back, and as Lydia shivered from the sudden draft, she was then vulnerable to being stunned by the flashlight and sucked into the Poltergust | + | Lydia was the wife of Neville and the mother of Orville, Henry and Chancey.

Like Neville, Lydia had her own Child Care Diary which contained information about Henry and Orville. There are also several portraits in the mansion which seem to depict her when she was alive. There was also a sculpture of her found in The Artist's Studio. | Like Neville, Lydia had her own Child Care Diary which contained information about Henry and Orville.

Chauncey was the infant son of Neville and Lydia, who was apparently born as a ghost and was described as being one year old. He was known to cry loudly and to never sleep through the night. Chauncey was also said to be more effective at scaring others than his older brothers, Henry and Orville. | Chauncey was the infant son of Neville and Lydia, who was apparently born as a ghost and was described as being one year old.

He was summoned by using the Poltergust to rock a rocking horse and then slapping a ball at Chancey, angering him. Chauncey used his dark powers to shrink Luigi down and placed him in his crib, where Chauncey threw balls and rocking horses at him. Luigi could use the Poltergust to shoot another ball at Chauncey to stun him, at which point he could be sucked up by the Poltergust. |

Chauncy's portrait later made cameo appearance in several Luigi's Mansion tracks in ''Mario Kart'' games: the battle course in '''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and the racetrack in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The portrait was not included in the version of the latter track that appeared as a Retro Course in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', however. |

Sue Pea was a young girl who was implied to have died while taking what was supposed to be a short nap. She had a bed-wetting problem that she had promised to solve. As a ghost, she was powerful enough to flip entire rooms upside down and also had telekinetic powers. At King Boo's mansion, she spent her time resting in a bed at the guest room, which she had flipped upside down. Sue warned others not to disturb her sleep and to go away. However, Luigi was able to spray the bed with the water element. This caused Sue to wake up and worry that she had wet the floor again. This left her vulnerable to being captured by Luigi. While being captured, she would attempt to stop Luigi by telekinetically throwing dolls at him. | Sue Pea was a young girl who was implied to have died while taking what was supposed to be a short nap.

Mr. Luggs was a large and gluttonous man who was said to prefer all-you-can-eat buffets over having three meals a day. He ate himself to death and remained unsatisfied, so he continued seeking food in the afterlife. He preferred to eat in the dark. Within the mansion, he was found at the Dining Room and had other ghosts constantly serve him more food to eat. Luigi had to light the table's candles to make Luggs visible, and he then had to suck up all of the food and servants with the Poltergust. This enraged Mr. Luggs and caused him to attempt to attack Luigi by spitting out a series of fireballs. But he tired himself out, and when he stopped to catch his breath, he was vulnerable to being captured by Luigi. | Mr. Luggs was a large and gluttonous man who was said to prefer all-you-can-eat buffets over having three meals a day.

He had his jar collection on display in the Ceramics Studio. When he caught Luigi snooping around his collection, Jarvis made him play a minigame for the right to view his collection: Jarvis would emerge from random jars seven times, and if Luigi could spray Jarvis with ice each time, Jarvis would give Luigi permission to look around. Luigi completed his minigame, but Jarvis went back on his word and attacked Luigi instead. In the process, his heart was exposed, so Luigi was able to capture him. |

Biff Atlas was a young bodybuilder whose favorite things were said to be both muscles and lilies. He valued lilies because they represented purity, implying that Biff had a sensitive side. At the mansion, Biff could be found working out at the Rec Room. In his heart quote, he bragged about his buffness and called Luigi a weakling. Luigi could get Biff's attention by hitting him with punching bags, which agitated him and made him attempt to attack Luigi. After he was hit by punching bags several times, his heart became vulnerable and he could be captured by Luigi. | Biff Atlas was a young bodybuilder whose favorite things were said to be both muscles and lilies.

Slim Bankshot was known as a billiards player who was legendary in the world of competitive pool. However, he was also said to have never played against a living soul, implying that he only started playing billiards in the afterlife. When playing billiards, the balls he hit tended to fly off of the table and bounce around a room like a projectile. Bankshot could be found by Luigi at the Billiards Room. Luigi had to use the Poltergust to suck up the billiard balls and launch them back at him. This would eventually expose his heart, at which point Luigi could capture him. | Slim Bankshot was known as a billiards player who was legendary in the world of competitive pool.
