Later scripts would have had the cast-members play a Lonesome Ghost taking mortals on a tour of the estate. In the unused Captain Gore version of the mansion by Ken Anderson, this would have been a butler known as Beauregard. The Ghost Host's position as the tour guide of the ride was originally intended for cast members. As the Ghost Host, he operated the Haunted Mansion and hosted tours of mortal guests. Following his demise, the man became the 'Ghost Host' of the Haunted Mansion who became a disembodied spirit within the manor. He died within the mansion by suicide, hanging himself from the rafters of the mansion's cupola. He had some connection to the estate, which would become known as the Haunted Mansion, often being presumed to have been an owner or head-of-staff within the estate. He had heterochromia, pale hair, gnarled teeth, and coarse features.

The Ghost Host was a hideous man of an unknown true name who likely lived at some point between the late-18th century and early-20th century.
