Pheonix987 February 20th, 2009 2:56 PM

yeah, in bulbapedia it says that it could be a sprite made from gastly&/or haunter.

1 thing: at this rate, pixelphobia will appear :s

zacnoa345 February 20th, 2009 3:28 PM

I was also playing it at night and I was pretty scared and had nightmares for like 3 days lol :p

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ February 20th, 2009 10:57 PM

I've actually seen the butler more often. I saw him about four or five times (EV training) before I saw the girl. A bit startling at first, but not all that creepy.

extramaster February 21st, 2009 1:23 AM

The little girl is a ghost and kind of like the old man you sometimes see in the kitchen. Thats why on the map it mentions the word "abandoned by it's owner". Also at night time go to the tv and a pokemon comes out after pressing yes (I forgot the pokemon's name

NeotyKairyu February 21st, 2009 7:04 AM

If only the little girl's ghost stayed there, and then talk to her? Then it would be, like, CRASH. But, when I talked to the Solaceon Day-Care Pokemon behind the fence, it didn't crash, so? :O

Johto's Best February 28th, 2009 1:42 PM

It used to startle me, but now that's my No. 1 Sp. Atk EV training spot, so I'm there 60% of the time that I'm training.

JustinDestruction February 28th, 2009 1:44 PM

I think it's just something interesting in the game. I wouldn't say it scared me, but it was sort of creepy.

.MurkyBurning. February 28th, 2009 8:13 PM

kinda freaky if u ask me. they just pop outta nowhere and dissapear. that girl is creepy....but i love dark pokemon

DarknessPokemon February 28th, 2009 8:49 PM

That place is freaky. Lots of cool stuff in there, like Rotom.

P.S. you said you can only see the girl when you're in the room next to her, so what happens you use walk through walls cheat and talk to her? (I would try but I don't have an AR)

It's impossible to do, since when you see her, your character stops moving until she leaves.

Foxnordic February 28th, 2009 9:04 PM

the whole little girl and butler thing, i've seen the little girl and its not scary

Paradox Dragonite February 28th, 2009 9:26 PM

The scare factor comes from trying to find her. < _<

She isn't anywhere in the building, yet she will sometimes appear in the room next to the one with the picture with glowing eyes.

⋚Raika⋚ February 28th, 2009 9:32 PM

WAAAH I just saw the girl lol. When I saw her I couldn't help but shiver(I was using my earpiece, and with that creepy music? WTF!).

lvl99rayquaza March 1st, 2009 6:04 AM

or you could use my theory.
that new galactic scientist lived in the old chateau right? he made machines for a rotom he befriended you find rotom and the machines in the old chateau
the galactic scientist had a sister and a butler who died in a fire or something
thats my theory

Crystal-Heart March 1st, 2009 6:44 AM

I'm pretty sure thats its just a fun little Easter Egg that Game Freak thought up for the fun of it. There may have been an event at some point, but I think that the fact that you freeze in place proves that its not a glitch, but an intended thing.

Trainer Marsh March 1st, 2009 9:54 AM

I saw this a while ago. I play horror games often, so this didn't do anything for me. Good training place though.

looker94 March 2nd, 2009 12:55 AM

Creppy but no scary/nighmare worthy

~Rose-quartz Iatos March 2nd, 2009 6:13 AM

That's weird, I never saw either of them...I guess I came at the wrong time of day.

"Shadow Lugia" March 2nd, 2009 6:36 AM

It's kind creepy the first time you see the ghosts. Regarding all the ideas, there is one piece of info about the Chateau that we get from Platinum:

Spoiler:
It's likely that Pluto used to live there.

The Jewel of Life March 2nd, 2009 4:39 PM

Ooo, I always thought it was the rotom because she always vanished when I caught rotom... ALWAYS

WiiMann March 2nd, 2009 5:03 PM

How do little game sprites scare people yea i think they are little weird but creepy or scary

Exactly. All these people are saying they're having nightmares and shivering.

I mean... it could be a friendly ghost.

Gunners March 3rd, 2009 1:21 AM

Lol it aint scary. Looks like normal people that glide.

Micro March 3rd, 2009 1:42 AM

There's an old man too but I have never seen him yet. But I did see the girl already:> Why should you be scared? They're just little pixels xD.

The Red Chain March 3rd, 2009 2:29 AM

I never knew about any of the ghosts in the Old Chateau until my friend pointed it out. XDD
She told me about the little girl.. I saw the girl in her game and realized it was a ghost because it's legs don't move.. it's just floating out of the room.

There is also a room with a poster that has eyes.. but when you look in the direction of the poster the eyes disappear. ^_^;

~MasterMind~ March 3rd, 2009 8:13 AM

it is a videogame easter egg placed there for our amusement

§ March 3rd, 2009 1:50 PM

It's kinda obvious. The girl's parents died so she had to live with her grandfather (the other "ghost"). Rotom killed them.

lvl99rayquaza March 7th, 2009 4:37 PM

not really that obvious and pluto befriended rotom yet did not die. note: he befriended rotom when he was a child.

dialga493 March 7th, 2009 5:59 PM

I ran into the girl once...
the thought just...
*shutters*
I just don't remeber where...
i just go for the ghosts so ya the butler i don't know where he is going but the girl just floats and goes into the wall...
eerie..........

lunex March 8th, 2009 8:30 AM

Her ass got murdered in that room were you see her and know she protects th old chateu!

matt561 March 8th, 2009 10:35 AM

When i aw the girl first i was like: "Hmmmm. What is she doing there?"

Then i went downstairs and saw the old guy floating and i was o_0

Honest March 8th, 2009 10:37 AM

I have seen her, but I have always wondered, and I'm sure many others have, what exactly is the point of her and the butler? I think nintendo just put her in there for a and I quote "A scare" xD

sugarslug March 8th, 2009 10:38 AM

I honestly didn't think much of it. I just said, "Oh. A ghost." and returned to trying to catch a nicely-leveled Ghastly. I found it to be pretty amusing, though. It's cool that they added that into the game. :3

blueberry4584 March 8th, 2009 11:59 AM

I've never seen them...
Then again since I caught Rotom I never again went in the Old Chateau.
I'm creeped out by that place.

mStar March 11th, 2009 11:56 AM

Lmfao. I totally freaked out when I saw those at first. I was like "OMG, wtf"

Eruption. March 11th, 2009 12:36 PM

I think thats really scary !! I mean for a game aged 3+ GameFreak/Nintendo shouldn't be adding scary stuff :o

Starberry March 11th, 2009 7:17 PM

I saw the little girl the first time I went in. I thought she was just another person I could talk to or battle, but when I went to look for her I couldn't find her.

I asked my friends if they had seen the little girl in their game, they didn't. Creepy. I haven't seen the old man yet, but I haven't been back to the Old Chateau either...

I'm a chicken.

Lady | GaGa March 11th, 2009 9:16 PM

Who is that girl? I've seen her, and so has my friend, but I've never seen the butler before...
And Nintendo forces us to visit the place at night. Stupid.

Metal Haunter March 12th, 2009 8:08 AM

Well what better time to visit a haunted house than in the dead of night?

.Nighthawk. March 12th, 2009 9:27 AM

they are so freaky ghosts I wounder if there is more ? I hope they will explain more about them in platinum

-Leaf March 12th, 2009 11:54 AM

Now honestly.. i didnt think i would be scared from the chateau but i saw the butlet and he FREAKIN' FREAKS ME OUT when i see him.. the girl is less scary as shes not scary at all

Don't remind me of that! i once heard a moltres cry (leaf green. he was in my party) and i were freaking out like hell i mean "oh did i captured your daughter?" even that moltres doens't have a set gender..

i heard a gengar cry in that place while going where the old man was.. then suddenly the electricity in my room went off.. i was freaked like HELL..

BHwolfgang March 14th, 2009 3:13 PM

My friend freaked out and told me about it one day, but I didn't believe him.

What do they look like?

MackLL March 15th, 2009 12:39 AM

Nintendo,LOVE to add easter eggs in theyre games. the old man is a Easter Egg as well as her.sometimes,Nintendo's easter eggs were parts of the game which they forgot to remove or couldnt...I mean,Look on the truck at Pokemon Red/FireRed.Wasnt supposed to find it,is what Nintendo said.so they could get RID of it,so they dumped it there.

Lol, so you don't believe in ghosts? xD

The little girl's sprite is simply one of the twins. Brown hair, orange dress and I think a red bow? I haven't seen her for a long time, so I might not be accurate. DxD
The butler simply has a gentlemen srpite. Uh, grayish hair...suit...uh, yeah...

shame it doesnt work because you cant move until she has left the room

Ozzy March 15th, 2009 8:51 AM

Ahhh creepy ~.~ i got so creeped out. If you look at the statues outside the middle door, then you can see the man and he little girl, Also, Just a side note, but you can catch rotom by pressing a on a tv, but sometimes it doesnt work, and its best if u do it at night. ^.^ But if you dont have the time to do it at night, Just set your ds time to about 7 or 8 pm.

Poke_a_Dialga! March 21st, 2009 3:28 AM

When i saw the ghosts, (after finishing catching ROTOM) I NEVER EVER WER+NT BACK THERE EVER AGAIN...
It gave me scary thoughts...

Kayin March 21st, 2009 10:07 AM

Ok now ya'll have me curious. I'm going to have to check this out.

"Shadow Lugia" March 22nd, 2009 5:40 PM

While playing Platinum, I've discovered two things about the Chateau:

Spoiler:
-There's no longer an antidote (so I don't think the poisoned theory is correct)
-There's a journal with one sentence shown (pobably involving Rotom):

"Som...hing so pecu...r shou... make off ...ith the mot..."

It's probably:

"Something so peculiar should make off with the motor"

Heart's Soul March 22nd, 2009 5:48 PM

Wow, you're that far in Platinum? I had it for 5 days and I'm not that far!

Also, there's something else. You can see them during the daytime, even though the chance is lower.

mervyn797 March 22nd, 2009 9:12 PM

IT's a ghost!! :badsmile:

deliriouspurple March 22nd, 2009 9:45 PM

Also, some say she was poisoned by the chef along with the butler (the old man = her grandfather), as suggested by the Antidote in the kitchen bin, when she came along to her grandfather's work place when the family owning the Chateau left for holiday, and the chef had plans of his own to steal the family riches and run to a far off country but had to get rid of those who could interfere.

ok give a link to it so we can trust your info

tom101222 April 6th, 2009 3:46 PM

i've seen her and i was freaked out!!!!! but thts probaly only cuz i was playing it in the dark at 11.30 at night

Pochama95 April 6th, 2009 6:47 PM

It seriously creeped me out the 1st time I saw the both of them, with the music and the timing. I was never expecting that in pokemon

La Foudre April 6th, 2009 6:52 PM

I just tried this last night somewhere around 12-1am. Even though I saw it coming, I couldn't help but feel a little freaked out. I wonder what the true story behind the ghosts is.

mystery913 April 6th, 2009 9:41 PM

when i first went in i went all the way to the back and saw the old man. i went to go look for him and i couldnt find him so i got freaked and continued to look but i couldnt find him still. i would like to know the true story behind the ghosts

Crazyboy99 April 7th, 2009 5:49 AM

Yesterday, I was reading this thread and I decided to find the old man and the little girl.
SO earlier today,I reset the time to 12am and went to find them...
I got a little freaked out when I saw them XD
After seeing the little girl, I quickly left the old chateau.( I didn't want to go in ever againXD)
Btw,you can find the old man in the dining room and the little girl is in the last room on the right (I'm not sure wether you can see her there)
but I saw her when I was in the fourth room on the right.( she was in the last room)

It's at the end of Eterna Forest. You need cut to pass.

NDS525 April 7th, 2009 10:06 AM

It is just a easter egg in the game that makes it more fun and interesting to play!
I feel sorry for the ghost girl though! Dieing at such a young age!

Rain On Dem Foez April 7th, 2009 10:57 AM

you think this is scary? at least you have ghosts to accompany you, in the Distortion world its only you, Cynthia, Cyrus and Girantina, and the buttons and physics that works throughout the game suddenly changes. Plus certain platforms and trees disappear out of the blue. Now thats creepy :P

Llennoccm8 April 7th, 2009 11:45 AM

Its, well, just creepy, is a sort of, way, well, how would you feel if you were your charater? Hypathedicly...............

Yeah, I went there for Rotom in Platinum. Did a full sweep of the house and only saw the girl (and the TM for Substitute), that red-eyed painting, and Gastly.

The TRUTH about "Ghost Girl" From Old Cheateu
 
Alot are asking what up with her?
well you can meet her in the new season "Battle damantion"
Episode - Ghoul Daze

This is the only info you can find about her.
she trys to take poeple into the spirit world.
Mybe there something in P/D/Pt that has to do with the episode
who knows? ill try to find out and if i do ill post :)

there a place called "the spirit world"

Gunners April 9th, 2009 12:06 PM

I saw that episode like yesterday

Zennerick April 9th, 2009 12:30 PM

The story behind the Old Cheateu is different in the games than it is in the anime, and yes, there is
a story behind the Old Cheateu in the Japanese Pokmon DS series (and ONLY in the Japanese games).
In fact, the story is rather grim.

Erm.. Rotom appears after the national dex in Diamond and Pearl,
or before it in Platinum. -shatters the moment-

Anyway, she's weird.

So is that butler dude that floats along.
Has anyone noticed the eerie resemblance
of the Old Chateau to the Pokemon Mansion?

I seriously think the Pokemon Mansion was
located in Eterna Forest until those
wandering ghosts (previously people) died. >_>

And mind informing us about the
grim back-story of the Old Chateau,
to the person who posted that?

Nothing's really THAT grim in Pokemon.
She probably choked on a poffin or something.

I didn't see her at first, but if you enter and reenter the room, you will eventually see her. I did it a couple of times and she kept reappearing to the point where she stopped appearing.

wolf April 9th, 2009 1:03 PM

Nope, it is still there. I saw both, there might be more of them in Platinum.

Rain On Dem Foez April 9th, 2009 1:04 PM

can we please be told the truth or the "grim story"

xxChazxx April 9th, 2009 1:18 PM

I have also felt that it was the previous Pokemon Mansion, but had no evidence to back that up other than they look a bit similar. The building seems to go unmentioned from Rotom forward. They should definitely do something about that when they remake Gold and Silver. Maybe just a short informational text in a library or something.

As for the "Grim Story", I would love to hear the tale.

rofl xD

Bulbapedia: The Old Chateau (Japanese: もりのようかん Forest Manor) is an abandoned mansion near the exit of Eterna Forest. Inside one of its four bedrooms, there is a television, which, if looked at at night after obtaining the National Dex, will initiate a battle with the only obtainable Rotom in the game. HM01 (Cut) and, by extension, the Forest Badge are required to enter the Old Chateau.

Spirits of people seem to inhabit the Old Chateau: a little girl who appears in the last room in the hall if the player is in the room with eyes on the wall, and a butler who is seen when entering the dining hall on the first floor after checking the statue.





In Pokémon Platinum, it is implied that Charon used to live here, suggesting he is the old owner of the Old Chateau the map mentions.

There is nothing about a grim story. In other words, the poster is making it up. Sorry to spoil the fun. :(


For the original poster: The little girl in the anime has nothing to do with the little girl in the Old Chateau. The anime little girl episode is somewhere near Hearthome. The only episode that could have referred to the Old Chateau is the Mismagius one, since they were in Eterna Forest.

xxChazxx April 9th, 2009 1:29 PM

Bummer, I'd really like to know more about the Old Cheateu though.

Cynic Kaka April 9th, 2009 1:32 PM

Unfortunately, Chaz, all the stories are fanon, and unofficial. Blame Nintendo. xD

Penumbra April 9th, 2009 1:48 PM

Okay. Im going to explore the Old Castle (not bothering with French)
to shed more light on the facts of the place.

Current oddities:
- Staring Painting
- Gengar is in the staring painting room
- You see girl when you enter Gengar/Painting room
- Glaring statue
- Rotom in the TV
- antidote in the bin
- Old Cake locked away in an empty room
- Butler appearing at the grand table
- Gardenia staring at the Old Castle
- Gardenia asking if you visited the Old Castle in the Battlefield house
- 3 Beds
- TM Substitute in the room she was in
- Empty Rooms/Not decorated neatly
- Moving boxes (not literally moving, boxes FOR moving places)
-Tonnes of books. tonnes.

Those are about everything I found.

---
My conclusion:

Gardenia is obviously connected to this. She must be the occupant of
one of the three beds. She seems so jumpy about the old castle, the way she
stares it down and worries if you checked it. The little girl must be her sister.
No, gardenia didn't murder her (hopefully). She's constantly wondering if you checked,
hoping that her sister is still alive, and just wandering the halls.
The butler obviously died in the kitchen. Someone poisoned him. Since he was the butler,
he had to taste-test his masters' food, which probably had traces of poison, but he
was clever. He carried an antidote around. Yet you find it in the garbage, why?
As you may know, the Old Castle is now inhabited by mainly Gastly and Haunter,
which are half poison. What about Gengar? What if someone ordered Gengar to steal the oxygen
from the butler? this would be no problem, being a ghost and all... Here's where the moving boxes come in. People were moving into the Old Chateau, yet the master didn't allow Pokemon,
so the trainer moving in stowed there beloved Gengar inside the painting which now
inhabits the little girls room.. Or her previous one. Once you enter the Gengar room
with 1 bed, you see the little girl next door. Why does she only appear when you enter
that room? She doesn't want people barging into her room, people including new
strangers moving in... The girl wanted to keep this room. It wasn't really hers,
it was Gardenia's. Gardenia studied for hours, explaining the loads of books scattered
across the mansion. Since there are only 3 beds, Gardenia must have moved out
to practice her Gym Leader skills, right before the new little sister
came into the world. Her sister defended Gardenia's room with her life. Literally.
Her parents, the masters, acknowledged the fact that Gardenia was gone, for a while now,
so they didn't care about the room any more. Her little sister held on to it
using all her energy. Eventually, she got tossed into the empty room next door by the
uninvited guests and got locked inside. This is how she died. She suffered from starvation and oxygen depletion in this disgusting empty room, and left to rot. She died in place of Gardenia,
thus leading to the TM Substitute which emerged from her rotten body. The new
movers were after something valuable and rare: The Old Gateau
This was a common dish in this household, and it was very valuable and rare to see
outside of this house. It was very important to, since it was known to cure
diseases or illnesses (to pokemon, it cures status problems). The masters were on to them. They knew there was only one Old Cake left. They knew the butler was gone.
They knew the daughter was gone. They knew the visitor killed them. They knew they were next.
of course, they wouldn't just let the visitor take their cherished and last famous recipe,
so they wouldn't go down without a fight. Eventually, they ended up losing... their lives.
The glaring statue is now the father, who watches over the house and remembers
anyone who enters the house. The mother is now the one who guards the rooms
and the people with in them - she is Rotom.

Extra guesses:
Gardenia was eventually going to return to the house, but seeing her family gone...
Knowing they wouldn't go down and lose without a battle.. This is what
motivated her to stick with her duty as a Gym Leader. She choose grass pokemon.
Green is the colour of life. The lives she's missing and the lives she had missed.
She favours the pokemon of green, for one day, she hopes they will bring
her loved ones back.
Charon is the creator of the electrical appliances Rotom can
take over. Perhaps he somehow turned the mother into an electircal spirit
(implying he was the uninvited guest). She almost defeated him, but he won in the end.
So, he made those appliances to humiliate her. Washing machine, Refrigerator, Lawn Mower, etc.
All to say "Stick to what girls do", implying that she shouldn't be battling. She should be
moving the lawn, or buying food, or washing dishes, etc.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I targeted everything on the list
with that small guess :P There's still doubt, though. ^_^

That would be quite hard. How am I supposed to translate Japanese text from a video game?

I should also include that I got this information from my friend. My friend has a friends who's father actually works
for the Pokemon Company. The father lives here, in the U.S., but takes many trips to Japan for work when it is needed.

However, I can't always trust him with information such as this.

Supposedly, according to my friend, in the Old Chaeteu in Platinum, not only can you find the ghosts of the little
girl and butler, you can find the mother and father in the room with the two beds. Also, he said you can find the killer
where the Dread Plate is found. Unfortunatly, it is "very rare" to find the parents and the killer.

He also told me that the story of Rotom ties in with this event.

As I said before, I'm not sure this is reliable information. So please do not flame me...

Sorry, I as wrong. This is still avaiable in Platinum. The girl and the butler can still be seen.

I never saw the butler, but the first time I went into the Old Chateau I saw the little girl. She exited the room as soon as I went into the one next to hers... and I tried to follow her to talk to her, but she was just... gone. I freaked and ran outta the Old Chateau like I was being chased by bears. XD Never gone back in since. O_O

Edit: ...It's about 11:30 PM right now, and I've been reading through this thread. I'm sitting in the computer room, which is different from my own bedroom... so I'm gonna have to leave sometime... the door is behind me... but I'm scared to turn around now. O_O

Why did I keep reading this thread...? D:

*shrugs* Eh, I always just thought the little girl died on accident or the butler accidently killed her with an Old Gateau that was made wrong. He then killed himself for killing her.

As for the parents, I have no freakin' clue, but I like the statue theory that it is the father. The reason why Rotom is there, because it is dark and gloomy, and ghost Pokemon like those kind of places.

The mother could be the red eye painting, but I think that it is a Gengar.

The Old Chateau is my favorite place to go in the game!
It's so creepy and awesome!
I visit the ghosts religiously, because I just love getting freaked out. ^_^

This is a story I heard about the place:
The Old Chateau is where Gardenia used to live. Her grandfather (the ghostly old man) was going to make her little sister (the ghostly little girl) the Gym Leader of Eterna City. Gardenia was so jealous and angry, she went into the kitchen and made a poison, then put it in the dinner that night, leaving her plate untouched. She then threw the antidote away. (Hence, the Antidote item in the trash can) Her little sister and grandfather perished, and Gardenia became Gym Leader.

And one more:
The eerie painting upstairs is where a Gengar enjoys hiding. The little girl who lived there (ghostly little girl) lived in the room where the painting was. One day, she went up close to the painting to look at it, and the Gengar stared right back. The girl was hypnotised, then snatched away and the Gengar transformed and took her place. (Hence, the TM Substitute) The Gengar then killed the little girl's grandfather/butler, and the ghosts of the two continue to haunt the house, while the Gengar still remains inside the painting.

Don't you think that what you said is a bit too violenty for it to be true? I mean c'mon This is Nintendo not Sony or Microsoft... (They really don't care for the ESRB!)

Charon seems to know a lot about rotom, and its even more weird when rotom lives inside the old chateau
the note: "something peculiar should make off with the motor"
i didnt understand this note
was it the butler running away?
or was it gardenia?
