The following is a list of characters from The Haunted Mansion, a franchise of the Walt Disney Company which originated as a still-popular theme park attraction located at Disneyland, Walt Disney World (in the Magic Kingdom), Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris (where the attraction is named Phantom Manor).

The Ghost Host serves as the unseen narrator of the attraction heard in the Stretching Room and in the ride itself. His voice provides commentary through the ride heard via onboard speakers in the Omnimover ride vehicle. The character is voiced with a Mid-Atlantic accent voice provided by Paul Frees that has been described as "gleefully sardonic". The hanging corpse seen in the Stretching Room implies that he committed suicide.

The character is given the name 'Master Gracey' in some related media such as the 2003 film and the Slave Labor Graphics comics; a name featured on a tombstone in the queue. This connection was originally popularized by fans. It is an homage to master effects designer Yale Gracey who created most of the special effects in the mansion.

In the 1969 record album The Story and Song from the Haunted Mansion, the Ghost Host was voiced by Pete Renaday, using an accent and manner of speaking inspired by English actor Boris Karloff. During Haunted Mansion Holiday, the Ghost Host is voiced by Corey Burton. In the Tokyo Disneyland Haunted Mansion, the character is voiced in Japanese by Teichiro Hori.

The Hitchhiking Ghosts has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
