This guide helps you identify the ghost much easier, when getting evidence is limited or impossible, it is detailed and focuses on factual information and will not go off track. Introduction – How to Identify Every Ghost Note: don't try memorise everything all at once, just learn as you play with the use of this guide This guide will help you recognise: Individual ghost abilities Ghost speed and sanity thresholds How it interacts with players and the environment Forced and optional evidence Audio and visual cues By observing carefully, tracking events, and using the journal effectively, you can determine the ghost type quickly and confidently. It will not tell you what evidence is require for each ghost, just check using the journal, this is so you know how to identify a ghost without having to use evidence. Even useful in lower difficulties when getting evidence is tricky or the ghost is not cooperating All this information is factual Banshee Can only use a female name and ghost model Hunts at 50%

the ghost room 1.4 m/s when the breaker is on and the room is warm Has an increased chance to turn the breaker off Cannot turn the breaker on Shows visible freezing breath when the breaker is off Does not gain speed from line of sight Freezing Temperatures is a forced evidence for a Hantu Jinn Hunts at 50% sanity Normal speed: 1.7 m/s Never turns off the breaker Speed increases to 2.5 m/s if a

will always have ghost orbs even though it is not a part of the 3 evidence, this is because it counts as a ghost ability and not an evidence so never rule out the Mimic if it is Ghost Orbs Copies speed and sanity for hunts from the currently mimicked ghost Moroi Hunts at 50% sanity Speed scales with average sanity: Higher sanity: 1.5 m/s Lower sanity: 2.25 m/s Can reach up to 3.71 m/s with continuous line of sight Can curse a player using: Spirit Box Parabolic Microphone Sound Recorder The curse causes passive sanity drain Incense delays hunts for 7 seconds Normal duration is 6 seconds

players increases the chance of a hunt after a candle is blown out The only ghost that can extinguish the same firelight twice within 20 seconds After 2 deaths, blowing out a candle causes a 100% chance to hunt Blowing out additional candles further increases the hunt chance Phantom Hunts at 50% sanity Normal speed: 1.7 m/s Blinks slower during hunts, making it appear almost invisible Does not

reaching the player’s last known location Shade Hunts at 35% sanity Normal speed: 1.7 m/s Cannot perform Singing Ghost events Appears as a shadow during 66% of ghost events The only ghost that can appear as a Shadow Ghost on: Summoning Circle Music Box Monkey Paw events Will not hunt in the same room as a player Will not perform ghost events in the same room as a player Cannot perform ghost

room as a player during a hunt Spirit Hunts at 50% sanity Normal speed: 1.7 m/s Using incense increases hunt cooldown to 3 minutes Normal cooldown is 90 seconds Thaye Ages every 1–2 minutes if a

Aggressive - more active Speed: 2.75 m/sOldest State Hunts at 15% sanity Hunts less frequently Speed: 1.0 m/s Does not gain speed from line of sight Twins Hunts at 50% sanity Speed depends on interaction range: Standard range (3 metres): 1.5 m/s Extended range (16 metres): 1.9 m/s Triggers from motion sensors, stepping on salt, and Spirit Box responses only occur at its physical location When the first ghost does an interaction, there is a chance for the second to do an interaction further away (~0.5 seconds delay between them) Wraith Hunts at 50% sanity Normal speed: 1.7 m/s Cannot step in salt Can teleport to a player giving a random EMF 2 or EMF 5 Walks back to ghost room afterward Not slowed by Tier 3 salt Yokai Hunts at: 80% sanity when talking in the same room as it 50% sanity normally Normal speed: 1.7 m/s Hearing distance is 2.5 metres and less during hunts Becomes more active when players talk near it Yurei Hunts at 50% sanity Normal speed: 1.7 m/s Can shut a door and reduce the sanity of nearby players by 15% if a door is in the same room Can touch a door twice Smudging it will trap it in its room for the duration of the incense (90 seconds) Only ghost that can interact with an exit door outside hunts and events (so can it interact with the exit/entrance door when it is not hunting) Can fully close or open doors Do not confuse with door slamming, which is done by all ghosts Yurei doors will not shake before closing Conclusion Keep track of ghost behaviours carefully. Timing, location, and player proximity often reveal the ghost type. Combine observations over multiple rounds if needed, as some things only appear under specific conditions or may take a while for the ghost to do them Always double-check with the journal to ensure your evidence matches the ghost before making your final identification. If you have evidence. If any mistakes are made or there have been changes, let me know by commenting
