Targeting one player

[dcurran6]

Playing multiplayer with 2 other players, and 2 games in a row I was getting ghost events that they were not getting even while standing next to me. The vision typically distorts and colour shadows appear around my hands. Also usually accompanied by ghost voices (one time it started counting down from 5). The ghosts were in an Iblis and a Yokai so not ghosts that target one person. Has anyone else experienced this and/or knows why?
Thanks

There's 4 type of events/scares that can happen in a map: Map Scares (specific events in specific places on specific maps), Ghost Scares (random events taken from a room-specific pool that can be triggered by the Ghost if it is close to or in said room), Scripted Scares (the ones that you need to trigger by saying a phrase) and Personal Scares (which only happen for one person, nobody else can see/hear them).

The vision becoming blurry and a sound playing is such a Personal Scare that me and my buddies refer to as "being possessed". We call it that, but it literally has no meaning or bearing other than a "boo" effect; it does not indicate Ghost activity or vicinity. It can happen no matter how far away from the Ghost you are. As far as I know, it can happen at any time and any place so long as you are inside the building. It can even happen after you already exorcised the Ghost. Other examples for Personal Scares are Grandma in the Nightgown, the Ring-Ghost crawling towards you (although that exists as a Map Scare in some places as well), or flying Heads that explode when you approach them.

Ghosts talking directly is a type of universal Ghost Scare, but they too come in a form of individuality. Sometimes (though rarely), only one person will be able to hear the Ghost talk, and even if everyone hears the Ghost talk (which is most often the case if they talk), everyone will most likely hear different voice-lines. This is normal.

Yeah I must have just been unlucky with the personal scares, they were definitely creepy!
Thanks for your reply
