Shade: The most aggressive ghost EVER

[Gabbie]

Alright so I just want to grasp something here. We were playing High School and the ONLY evidence we get is ghost orbs. Nothing else.. We found a Ouija board and she told us "First Floor Corridor". She is the most aggressive ghost ever and killed three of us. First kill we were 4 people stacked. Second kill we were two people stacked. This ghost is supposed to be SHY and she's supposed to not attack in groups.. but that was not true at all.

What the hell even happened here? And no EMF reading (despite killing one person holding the EMF), no ghost writing despite book being there... Were these all bugs or what?

i beg to differ, revenants and demons have been very active in my experience, however banshees, wraiths, and poltergeists not so much

I think it is randomized how active the ghosts are, not just based on type. I had a spirit on professional that was *pissed* off at us. Doors were opening and closing, lights turning on and off every few seconds. After our first investigation we were about to go back in with cameras and a hunt started the second we re-entered, we went back out quickly after that.

Then every time we would get close to the front door it would slam, and 2 of the 3 times someone went inside a hunt started instantly. We even had a hunt start with no one inside the building because the door slammed so fast that it pushed the person that was going inside back out.

We just guessed at what the ghost was (I guessed poltergheist because it was really wanting to throw things around, turned out to be a spirit though).

I love how sometimes you get a super aggro ghost and sometimes they don't want to mess with you much.

yeah had a banshee that i was left inside the house alone with, kept saying her name, she appeared, but all she really did was throw stuff around, oddly enough she got more aggressive an showed herself when a teammate came in (and we had the lights on for awhile)

They all can be very active

Today was Shade for me ... Got it several times. We couldn't get all evidences. We had to guess. The only reason we knew it was shade is because it only did things once we left. But then, within a few, we got this:

Just played against a shade and it only showed up once throughout a 30 minute game and killed no one.

Can confirm. The journal seems misleading. Two of my worst matches were with a shade. I just played asylum on professional. She was hunting like crazy. We all made it. But literally every 30 seconds or so we had to hide. Could not even gather evidence due to sanity drain and it just being super aggressive.

wraiths are horrible man. They just go through walls. Hiding from them can be tricky. Kind of cool though how everyone has different experiences. Makes the ghost seem more "real". Not scripted.

Same here! We had to guess and Shade was one of the first ones we ruled out because of the journal saying "doesn't attack when grouped up", and also the insanely aggressive behavior. The events you're describing with lights flickering and hunt that starts immediately after we enter the building matches our experience 100%. I was freaked out. We just had to go in despite there being a constant hunt. We got to regret that though :'D

Yup! Shades are definitely my least favorite to deal with. Especially now because I have no idea wtf they react like. Journal is complete 180 from both experiences I've had.
