Can the ghost steal the book from you?

[gold]

I think it happened 3 times now. We placed the book in the room and probably after some minutes, it's gone. We can't find it and no one took it. Is it possible?

I've never actually heard of the ghost removing/taking the book, flipping it over or moving it yes but not actually moving it from the room, unless its a glitch

sometimes it just falls through the floor. try placing it on a table or chair. ghost can throw the book onto the floor.

I've never seen the ghost book glitch out but I'm playing on PC and not on VR. So maybe there's a difference?

I've seen the ghost definitely move the book around its room or the adjacent rooms. Never seen it "take it".

I know poltergeists have a higher throw strength modifier than other ghosts so its possible it threw it under something or ya, it got stuck in a glitched spot somewhere. Tough to say as I'm level 60+ in game and never once seen this happen.

There are a few item glitches but mostly all I see is the voodoo doll going through the ground and teleporting back to its spawn location sometimes or disappearing forever. :\

The ghost may have flipped your book upside down, when that happens it can be damn near impossible to find depending on where it lands.

We have had the ghost throw the book under a bed, into a sink, down some stairs, and under a car. It is all based on the type of ghost and where you put it. We start treating the ghost like a toddler having a tantrum after it does it a few times.

does that mean that its ghost writing evidence

[underscores222]

My understanding is that when the ghost chooses to interact with the book, one of two things happens. If it is a ghost writing ghost, then that interaction will be writing in the book. If not, then the ghost will toss the book.
I have seen a ghost toss a book, and when I redeployed the book, there was writing in it,, so I guess if the ghost wrote in the book, then interacting again will toss it. The tossing closed the book so you couldn't tell it had been written in before redeploying it.

This thread was almost 3 years old ;p but I'll answer anyway: if the ghost book is thrown, it means one of two things. Either it has already written in the book (it can, rarely, toss the book around afterward), or it will never write in the book. On Amateur/Intermediate/Professional, this means writing will not be one of your evidences, but on nightmare, insanity, or zero evidence, it will also happen if the writing is one of the hidden pieces of evidence.
