Demonology: Identifying Ghosts & Evidence Types

In the shadowy world of Demonology, ghosts are notoriously elusive, leaving behind minimal traces of their presence. This guide will equip you with the knowledge to effectively identify these spectral entities.

How to Identify Ghosts in Demonology

The key to identifying ghosts lies within your in-game journal's evidence page. This page meticulously tracks your findings, allowing you to systematically eliminate possibilities until you pinpoint the ghost type. Clicking on an evidence type helps narrow down the options; clicking again removes it if you later determine it's incorrect.

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**		+ Drains hunter energy – Cannot cross salt lines	• Aggressive
**Ghoul**		+ Easily provoked by sound – Cannot disable electronics	• Mostly non-aggressive
**Phantom**		+ Very fast – Does not hunt in groups	• Mostly timid
**Shadow**		+ Minor temperature alteration – Less active in bright light	• Very docile
**Demon**		+ Hunts frequently	• Extremely aggressive

Remember to diligently record evidence in your journal, crossing out any that don't match. This process efficiently eliminates possibilities and guides your equipment choices for further investigation.

How to Collect Evidence in Demonology

Each ghost leaves three distinct traces. Use the appropriate equipment to gather evidence and determine the ghost type. There are seven evidence types:

• Laser Projector: Ghosts appear as faint silhouettes when passing close by.
• Handprints: Use a blacklight to reveal fingerprints, handprints, or footprints.
• Spirit Box: Interact with the spirit box; ghosts may respond to questions.
• EMF Level 5: An EMF reader will detect a ghost's presence; some ghosts trigger all lamps.
• Ghost Orb: A video camera can capture some ghosts as small white orbs.
• Freezing Temps: A thermometer will register extremely low temperatures near a ghost.
• Ghost Writing: Leave a spirit book; the ghost may write in it.
