This needs a stretch. (Feel free to remove when satisfied of completion.)
Needed:
* Physical appearance is incomplete.
* History is incomplete.

The Ghost Clown was the disguise of Harry the Hypnotist.

Physical appearance

The Ghost Clown has the appearance of a stereotype clown; a silly costume, and lots of make-up on his face. What separates him from a normal clown, is the evil grin on his face.

Personality

The Ghost Clown thought that he's in complete control. He liked to tell grim jokes; when for example Scooby-Doo was hanging in the air on a pair of balloons, the Ghost Clown said, "All what goes up, must come down". Usually such sentences are followed by an evil laugh. The Ghost Clown always tried to stay one step ahead of the gang.

Powers and abilities

The Ghost Clown had superb expertize in hypnotism, and with a gold coin hanging from a piece of string could gain complete control over several members of the gang, including Daphne Blake and Shaggy Rogers in dangerous acts and environments. The Ghost Clown seemed to be popping up all over the circus, and he had a lot of nasty objects (like dart arrows) in his pockets.

History

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

Season one

The Ghost Clown hypnotized Scooby-Doo, Daphne and Shaggy, respectively, in to doing dangerous acts in Mr. Barnstorm's circus, causing mayhem. He went against the circus because he was sent to prison after he was caught stealing at the circus.

During this he got hypnotized himself into believing he was a chimpanzee by Shaggy and Scooby who used two mirrors to deflect his powers.^[1]

Appearances

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
- 110. Bedlam in the Big Top

Notes/trivia

The Ghost Clown was one of the first villains of Mystery Inc. to endanger one or all of them.
The Ghost Clown's final capture is quite possibly the most unique captures ever performed by Mystery Inc., Shaggy and Scooby trick him into hypnotizing himself.
He or just simply his inanimate costume has made cameos in the following:
- He appeared during the opening credits of the direct-to-video film, Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon.
- Sunny St. Cloud wore the costume in the direct-to-video film, Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!.
- The third and final segment of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode, Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!, was a crossover, with the costume seen alongside other classic Scooby-Doo villains.
The Juggling Clown enemy in the 2005 video game Scooby-Doo! Unmasked is modelled on the Ghost Clown.
