In the world of Demonology, ghosts are notoriously elusive, leaving behind minimal traces. This guide will help you master the art of ghost identification. We'll walk you through using the evidence journal to pinpoint the type of ghost haunting your investigation.
The key to identifying ghosts lies within your in-game journal's evidence page. This page meticulously tracks your findings. By clicking on each evidence type, you systematically eliminate possibilities until you're left with a single ghost type. Conversely, you can uncheck evidence if it proves inconclusive.
Below is a comprehensive list of ghost types, their corresponding evidence, strengths, weaknesses, and additional notes:
| Ghost Type | Evidence | Strengths and Weaknesses | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Spirit** |    | • None | • Generally harmless |
| **Wraith** |   | + Depletes hunter energy – Cannot cross salt lines | • Aggressive |
| **Ghoul** |   | + Easily provoked by sound – Cannot disable electronics | • Mostly non-aggressive |
| **Phantom** | | + Very fast – Doesn’t hunt in groups | • Mostly timid |
| **Shadow** | | + Slight temperature alteration – Less active in bright light | • Very docile |
| **Demon** | | + Hunts frequently | • Extremely aggressive |
| **Specter** | | + Throws items frequently – Rarely roams unless hunting | • Remains in one room |

After collecting evidence, diligently record it in your journal. Cross out any evidence that doesn't match the ghost's behavior. This streamlined approach helps quickly eliminate ghost types and guides your equipment choices.
Each ghost leaves three distinct traces. Use the appropriate equipment to gather evidence and identify the ghost:
- Laser Projector: Reveals faint silhouettes.
- Handprints: Use a blacklight to find fingerprints or handprints.
- Spirit Box: Engage in conversation to elicit responses.
- EMF Level 5: Detect a ghost's presence with an EMF reader (all lamps light up).
- Ghost Orb: Capture ghostly orbs on video.
- Freezing Temps: Use a thermometer to detect significant temperature drops.
- Ghost Writing: Observe writing in a spirit book.
