The School: White Day Wiki


The Single Mother Ghost, also known as the Grandfather Ghost, is an unused ghost from White Day: A Labyrinth Named School. It was removed from the final release for unknown reasons, though its textures can be found within the game's files.

Overview[]

Although the ghost is not present in the final release, it can be seen in an early promotional poster where it is looking in through a window of Main Building 1. It has been speculated that it would appear throughout the building, and outside of the school, stalking the player; however, there is no confirmation of this theory.

It is speculated that it was removed for presumably being "too disturbing"[citation needed] as well as having been said to interfere with play[1].

This ghost lacks an official name and prior to the release of the .nop files was given the nickname "Grandfather Ghost", likely due to its appearance. However, this is a misnomer given that it is referred to as "Single Mother Ghost" (미혼모귀신) in the game's scripts.

Appearance-wise, it appears to be wearing traditional hanbok[2] with its unused texture file being aptly named _ghost_koreanclothes.bmp.

It has been heavily speculated that the Single Mother Ghost was intended to be "The Housemistress Spirit" based on The Housemistress Spirit (Document), more specifically School Ghost Story [1][3] as it appears in the original 2001 release. Though the Housemistress Spirit exists only as a document in the original release, it reappears in White Day: A Labyrinth Named School (2015) as a ghost collection encounter, an instance commonly theorized for many of the unused ghosts/textures. However, there has been no confirmation of this.[4]

The Single Mother Ghost bears some resemblance to the remake's Grandmother Ghost, though this could be considered less likely given that the latter's mechanics and location of appearance resemble the Ankle Ghosts of the 2001 release much more closely.
