Pat is a character who appears in the 2023 Disney film Haunted Mansion. She is a tour guide who gives tours around Crump Manor.
Background[]
Pat serves as a tour guide who is shown to give tours in New Orleans in Louisiana, particularly around Crump Manor, dedicated to Alistair Crump, aka the Hatbox Ghost. While often bound to give tours around the Manor, she is shown to be strict to those who attempt to take a break during the tour, regardless of the hours the tour has. Not much of her personality is known as she only appears in one scene.
Role in the film[]
Pat only appears during the part where Ben Matthias, Father Kent, and Travis explore Crump Manor, a historical site dedicated to Alistair Crump, the Hatbox Ghost. During the tour, Pat is seen giving a group of tourists explaining the history of Crump Manor as well as the life of Crump before his death. Throughout the tour, she reminds the tourists that no one can take breaks during a three-hour tour, as it can interrupt the tour. As the three follow her, the tour becomes temporarily disrupted for a while when an entertainment tour guide named "Vic" speaks while Ben, Kent, and Travis continue to uncover the truth about the Hatbox Ghost, causing the other tourists to follow Vic instead, distracting them. She does not appear again afterwards.
Trivia[]
