Evidence Journal Entry

Ghost identification hinges on your in-game journal's evidence page. This page meticulously records your findings. By selecting evidence types, you progressively narrow down the possibilities until a single ghost type remains. Incorrectly identified evidence can be deselected.

The table below details each ghost type, its unique evidence, strengths, weaknesses, and additional notes:

Evidence Acquisition:

Each ghost leaves three distinct traces. Utilize the appropriate equipment to gather evidence:

  • Laser Projector: Detects ghosts as faint silhouettes.
  • Handprints: Blacklight reveals fingerprints and footprints.
  • Spirit Box: Engage in conversation with the ghost; persistence is key.
  • EMF Level 5: An EMF reader; a full lamp illumination indicates a specific ghost type.
  • Ghost Orb: A video camera captures ghostly orbs.
  • Freezing Temps: A thermometer detects significant temperature drops.
  • Ghost Writing: A spirit book may be inscribed upon by the ghost.
