Mimic EMF 5?

[TerrifiedGecko]

Hi, I was wondering if The Mimic could have EMF 5? I was playing on insanity mode i'm not sure if that makes a difference.

No.

All ghosts have their known evidence regardless of difficulty settings with the exception of not showing one, two or all of that evidence.
However, the mimic will also have a ghost orb - always, no matter what, even on "no evidence" runs. BUT, that ghost orb does not count as evidence, it exists only to confuse the players.

So whatever you had, it was not a mimic - or not EMF 5.

Since people struggle with the new T1 EMF... the needle touching the 5 does not indicate EMF 5, it needs to go beyond that into the red zone - then it is confirmed EMF 5.

Mimic has forced ghost orbs. That means you can see orbs even on 0 evidence runs.

Just to preempt further confusion as well, Mimic can also never have ghost writing or DOTS. Any combination of freezing temps, UV, spirit box, and ghost orbs (which, as noted, are fake for them) can be a mimic. This makes them most easy to confuse with Onryo and Hantu with no evidence being suppressed.
