Issue with the Wraith

[Rarrderch]

3 Times today we have had Wraiths stepping in Salt which is known to be toxic to them. The Spirit box is also not working with them. We have checked the board as to whether you need to be alone on everyone. This happened on 3 different maps. Never had this problem before. Is anyone else had this experience?

I had 5 wraith in a row and beside being highly resistant to perform any ghost events and dirty water, everything was fine. Have You tried to ask many different question, have lights off and such? From experience, ghosts seems to have some sort of response chance for each questions. I got one even to talk while being away from room.

Tried 5 or 6 standard questions with both lights on and off. It was the salt that threw me the most as they never used to leave footprints in it. Wraiths find salt Toxic. Have re downloaded the game incase it was a corrupt file.

Well in last wraith, my friend kept asking the ghost where it is, is it angry, how old it is and couldn't get any response, while when I came and asked "What do You want" it was very talk active. So it really can be about what question which ghosts like to answer.

Ok.. first off I need to ask you a few questions.

1. When you say footprints are you talking about after the ghost steps in the salt and then you use a UV light/ glowstick and you see the green footprints?

2. Or do you mean you see the footprint in the sand pile meaning it has been stepped on?

Sometimes the ghosts just do not want to give evidence at all no matter what you do, say, or how many people you have in the room/ don't have in the room.

Sometimes the ghosts is only active for one person as well.

Best way to get around this is to smudge stick the room even if you don't have an objective for it. It will increase the ghost activity and prevent the ghost form going into hunt mode for 90 seconds ( 180 if spirit) if done correctly.

Wraiths can step in salt like any other ghost; they just don't leave footprints as far as I know. Ghosts can be really stubborn with evidence sometimes, especially on higher difficulties. Possible that those Wraiths were just being stubborn.

Did everyone try using the Spirit Box to rule out mic issues?

Yeah wraith can step in salt, they just don't leave the green footprints under UV and also the salt stops them hunting for a short time after they do it.

If you try to talk on the spirit box it should say no response or whatever. If it doesn't you can hit the windows key twice and that fixes that bug. Though also keep in mind you need the lights off, and be alone(if it is an alone ghost) and also you need to be standing near the ghost for it to reply(which is why in large rooms or with wandering ghosts it can be harder to get an answer from).

Wraiths will usually step in the salt, from my experience.

I have issues with the Wraith, too. Except I get absolutely no evidence at all, making it impossible to tell what the ghost is. It's always a Wraith when this happens.
