Why there is a 5 mins timer ?

[Arzon]

I'm wondering about it, why's that?

It's basically a "Safe" period where the ghost is less hostile.

What he said ^^ on higher difficulties the timer is lower or is outright removed making the ghost be allowed to be much more active and aggressive right from the start of the game.

Amateur gives you a 5 minute setup period where the ghost will not attack.

Intermediate is 2 minutes.

Professional has no setup time before an attack can occur.

And the same level have the same ghost? Or it's kinda random?

To allow you to explore without any worry and hopefully find the ghost room without being attacked. Find it, set it up, and by that time the time is usually up and you only have to worry about hunts for the final evidence collection phase.

Edit: To answer the above, no I have found the ghosts are randomized.

After playing in a private game, I was sent to the afterlife. What i found out is, you cannot communicate with any players alive or dead. You can interact with certain environmental objects such as lights i think (found this out near the end of a game). One more thing to mention, I had an instance which my comrade was being chased by the poltergeist. In ghost form, I chased the poltergeist away to the other side of the house to help him evade. It was magical.

does the ghost appear during setup times? im scared of getting spooked during that 5 minute time period when i should feel safe enough to actually enter and walk around the house

The ghost can do everything it normally does in the set up time it just can't hunt
