Evidence Journal Entry

Ghost identification hinges on your in-game journal's evidence page. This page tracks your findings, allowing you to systematically eliminate possibilities until you pinpoint the ghost type. Mark evidence found and cross out those not observed.

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

  • Spirit Box: Engage in conversation with the ghost using the spirit box.
  • EMF Level 5: An EMF reader will light up fully when near certain ghosts.
  • Ghost Orb: A video camera will capture ghostly orbs.
  • Freezing Temps: A thermometer detects significant temperature drops.
  • Ghost Writing: A spirit book may be written on by the ghost.
