Wrong body twice in a row.

[Sp3akerWolf]

What the hell, I got the name right, and these bodies had the most activity as well as ♥♥♥♥ appearing on their bodies after the autopsy, but BOTH times I got possessed. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Are those hallucinations of certain bodies standing in the hallway a hint or am I right in ignoring those?.

I just don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ know what I'm doing wrong and it's pretty irritating.

Edit: Oh my god I finally got one! I got lucky by burning the ashes on the right body, gave me the House and I figured out the name from the first sigil. Still did all the autopsies to add to that list of bodies embalmed, and to confirm the name and house.
YES!
Still don't know how to do this without getting lucky so tips are still appreciated :D

Some telltale signs are the Cold Storage opening and the bodies sitting out on the racks by themselves. The biggest sign seems to be seeing the symbol of the demons house on a part of the body. If you see subtle movements (like in the video on the night shift database) that's also a giveaway.

I think the most confusing aspect for most people are the hauntings. For example, one haunting has the body you're working on lift its hand up, snap its fingers, then gets sucked down the hallway. This is NOT a sign of possession, but of a cutscene.

Yeah I figured any big story event isn't a sign.

Some minor events are though. This game is basically a focus game where you have to focus on the body you're working on while events happen all around you that are trying to pull your focus away from the body where you may miss something. To make it trickier though, some of those small events are actual clues like the body saying just a single word, crack a quick smile or twitch/move subtly.

Funny thing is, on my first shift of the game, I found the correct body by looking for wounds that weren't there originally. It was extremely subtle too and I would have easily missed it. The very first body I worked on when I pulled it back out had what looked like a clean stab wound in his right ribs that you could only see when rolling the body over that wasn't there before when I was reading the paperwork for the unique markings on his file in the computer. It wasn't a crazy amount of slash marks like in the photo the computer gives as an example. It was a single, short slit on the back of his right ribs kind of mimicking the Spear of Longinus, which is kind of neat because some demonology insists that the possessed have markings similar to Christ in efforts to mock God.

I really love the game, but the last session gave me a talking and moving corpse, a lot of hints, I got the correct name and it showed me the house in a cutscene. Everything about this body was posessed and haunted, it even spoke and said "pray to me". I got all the sigils, spelled the name right, burned it - and it was the wrong body.
The second body did absolutely nothing, showed no signs of possession. But its cold storage opened twice and it stood in the hallway once.
The first body was just dead.

So you're giving me a moving, talking body that pulls me into some nightmare which shows me exactly which demon I'm dealing with, but the correct one is one that does boo scary thing twice?

meh

Yep. Same here. I got it wrong 7 times in a row because of that. Meh.

The demon can mislead with its activity with bodies. Once I calculated a demon by one imperceptible sign, although everything pointed to another body. The surest sign is that the storage chamber itself extends with or without a body.
