Are there passive ghosts?

[Bancho Gaming]

Has anyone else encountered a "friendly" ghost?

[Cursed Hawkins]

Only if you play the training level.

Closest you can get is the training mission, where the ghost is labeled "non-violent" and will never trigger a hunting phase.

Having "friendly/passive" ghosts outside of the training mission is a semi-frequent suggestion. So it could be a thing in the future, but I suspect that it will only be on the large maps and only if they are accompanied by one or two dangerous ghosts on the same map.

If you get a Banshee you basically "safe" if the target stays the entire game outside of the house .If he/she gets killed ,Banshee will choose another person to hunt.I´ve tried today we were 3 and one by one we stayed in the house trying to force a hunt and with 0 sanity we didnt get a single hunt just appearance the third guy got an hunt so we repeated the process and I kept asking in the ouija board with 0 sanity and he never attacked me ,we knew it was a banshee by that because freezing temp was bugged somehow only getting 7-8 degrees all the time in the room.

I've had ghosts that don't get aggressive and are friendly over the talk box but any ghost other than the tutorial ghost has the capabilities to be aggressive

[Gweenie]

If you are really lucky you can get a really passive ghosts but most of your matches they will be aggressive

The Banshee will switch it's target if the target is not inside the house. So you can't abuse the system. The "safest" ghost you can get might be the jinn because it will only trigger its hunting phase when you're close/in it's "territory". Friends and I pretty much insulted a jinn on asylum for 30 minutes straight and it didn't even enter hunting phase once...however when we got close to it's territory....well...that's another story. First I thought it's coincidence but we had a somewhat shy jinn later on in the highschool and it took us quite some time to locate it. No hunts were triggered until we entered it's territory. Shade might also be safe if you play with others and you always go in groups of 2. A shade will only trigger a hunt if the target is alone in a room from what I gathered so far. :)

That's the fun part, you don't know untill it hunts, and by then it's probably too late.

Lol ok in that case, how to do you tell if a ghost is specifically hunting you and not someone else when it hunts?

All ghosts except banshee target the player who is the closest to them and they will switch targets if someone else is closer and the ghost sees said player. If it sees you then you'll hear heartbeats which also means it is coming for you. During a hunt everyone should hide no matter what. Also don't talk during a hunt as this might give away your location to the ghost.

Thats not how a banshee works at all.

You can hear the heartbeat of your character if it's coming for you.

If you want to give yourself some valuable extra seconds, carry smudge sticks and a lighter, using it will delay the hunt for a couple of seconds, but after that, the hunt is on.

And while banshees just target one person the entire match, revenants will pretty much murder anyone who walks in their path while they are chasing a target, so if you where unlucky enough to stand in between them and their target, it's GG.
