Journal Evidence Page

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

The following table details each ghost type, its corresponding evidence, strengths, weaknesses, and additional notes:

Evidence Acquisition:

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

  • Laser Projector: Detects ghosts as faint silhouettes.
  • Handprints: Use a blacklight to reveal fingerprints or footprints.
  • Spirit Box: Engage in conversation with the ghost.
  • EMF Level 5: An EMF reader registers ghost presence; full illumination indicates specific types.
  • Ghost Orb: A video camera reveals ghosts as small white orbs.
  • Freezing Temps: A thermometer detects significant temperature drops.
  • Ghost Writing: A spirit book may be written on by the ghost.
