  • Handprints: Use a Blacklight to search for fingerprints, handprints, or footprints left by the Ghost.
  • Spirit Box: Engage the Spirit Box to communicate with nearby Ghosts. They might not respond immediately, so persist with different questions.
  • EMF Level 5: Employ an EMF Reader to detect Ghosts. Only specific Ghost types can cause all the lamps to light up.
  • Ghost Orb: Utilize a Video Camera to spot Ghosts in the form of small white orbs.
  • Freezing Temps: Check the temperature with a thermometer. Extremely low or below-zero temperatures indicate Ghost activity.
  • Ghost Writing: Place a Spirit Book in a room potentially haunted by a Ghost. Wait for them to interact with it and leave written messages.
