Ghost hunting without anyone inside

[BOT Reed]

is this normal?

[Myth Alric]

No, the ghost shouldn't hunt unless someone is inside. Though if a hunt starts and your at the door you can some times slip out the door before it closes.

when i feel a hunt is inevitable i like to go in and out of the door to get them to hunt so potentially what happened is right as u were about to enter or leave they went into hunt

[Plague]

door closes super slow so you can piss off the ghost to get it to hunt than easily slip out the door

Happens to my group of friends all the time where we're all in the van getting items and such and the ghost just starts hunting. It's after we've been in there a long time usually but it definitely happens. Unless it was fixed within the last 3 days?

What was your basis for it hunting? front door locked or radio static?

Just asking because I have seen the ghost be at 10 activity and not be hunting

We had a ghost today start a hunt and quit the hunt after 10sec, not stopped by Crucifix (it was an objective on the board and didnt get cleared), it started chasing a player down a hall and just...stopped...well before the min is normally up, all players survived and we didnt even get a chance to hide

I had that happen in a few games recently the other day too. One was a banshee and i thought maybe its just a new mechanic where the banshees hunt gets canceled by going near a crucifix or something, but next game had a demon do the same thing 🤷‍♂️ maybe someone was modding or something to stop the hunt, i have no idea anymore lol ive just embraced the fact that a lot of mechanics in this game seem pretty random, keeps it interesting

I've had several instances of ghosts starting a hunt just as I hit the threshold. It's a bit silly when the door slams in your face and the lights go nuts while you're locked outside.

no mods, this has only happened once, and the ghost stopped the hunt the moment it lost line of sight with the player it was chasing, (hunt started, ghost appeared, followed player, player broke line of sight, hunt stopped) all in about 10sec and I was on the other side of the room and saw it all happen as I was running backwards to see if it was after me or the other player.

If everyone is firmly outside (like you are all chilling in the van nowhere near the door) it shouldn't start a hunt. As others mentioned though, it can start a hunt as you are leaving, locking everyone outside while it searches an empty house. I've also noticed that sometimes it seems to derp out and count dead players inside even though it can't hunt them. Like 3 of us are chilling in the truck but the dead player is apparently inside the house still, and a hunt starts, but that one is inconsistent enough I'm fairly certain it's just a bug.

I have also had it start a hunt with everyone outside if we are on the porch in Ridgeview, to some extent the porch on that map seems to count as part of the inside. You can also get seen and murdered there while outside during a hunt, and we even had a ghost that apparently wandered onto the porch a few times judging by the motion sensors (it's room was the foyer just inside the door, it mostly wandered the kitchen, foyer, and stairs but the sensors did make it seem like it casually strolled out on the porch a few times. Can't tell for sure since sensors don't work properly "outside" the map). Asylum can do something similar, with the van being so close to the entrance door I have gotten a hunt or two while in the van, especially if I'm on the end closer to the doors.

All four of us are outside of the cabin, the hunt happened 4 times. We did not go inside once since the first time (just opening and closing the front door).

I’ve had it hunt when everyone was in the van. Happens every so often in my games. My teammates were like: Why is it hunting? Lol
