Are finger prints RNG?

[BoxingBud]

Like sometimes I think fingerprints should appear but they don't, does that mean they wont? Or does the ghost decide what shows and what doesn't?

[AlphaGodith]

i'm fairly certain that if a ghost can produce fingerprints, it will always do so when it interacts with fingerprintable objects (lights and doors)

[Cursed Hawkins]

Fingerprints aren't RNG, if the ghost has the trait they will appear on the following objects, doors,windows and light switches, if your seeing any of these objects be interacted with but no prints are revealed with the UV Light or a nearby Glowstick then you can determine that the ghost you're dealing with doesn't have that trait.

I see ghosts interact with doors all the time and never leave prints until the tenth time.

Not necessarily. Ghosts leave fingerprints when their model touches an object that can have fingerprints (assuming the ghost is a fingerprint ghost). If it’s interaction is at a distance, it’s not going to leave a fingerprint which is why you mainly find them near the ghost room.

Actually not.
Had several cases when it wouldn't leave any, unless it touched the said object several times. Sometimes, fingerprints fade out, but sometimes, they won't appear at all.

Make sure you're checking those doors from both sides. Check both upper and lower parts of the door, since crawling ghosts will leave handprints at the ground level.

People keep mentioning these "crawling ghosts" yet the only ghost I've seen lower to the ground are the child ghosts! What are these so called "crawling ghosts" I keep hearing about.

The "ring girl" does crawl.

I think this is right. I've confirmed fingerprint ghosts don't leave prints on every interaction.

As others have said check both sides of doors (including closets), windows, and light switches.

Light switches can sometimes be hard to spot because instead of the whole hand print like on the doors and windows, all you'll see is one single print from either the ghost's finger or thumb.

I think its like EMF, it has a percentage to leave a print when interact and are close to the object, what I do is ask than to use the door or turn of the lights, they normally do this after I ask than!

I've never gotten that to work for me, usually what works for me getting prints is listening for the sounds of doors being opened especially when the ghost's room is the Foyer in Tanglewood as there's literally three sets of doors and two sets of closets for it to interact with so there's a lot of chances for there to be prints on something.

Sometimes ghosts leave fingerprints EVERYWHERE, and sometimes, they leave almost none. The ghost might touch the same door 3 times and leave no fingerprints, but then flip the lightswitch, and the fingerprint is there. That is what makes me mostly confused about all that fingerprint mechanics.
