Throwing Ghost Writing Book In Nightmare Mode

[AnnasCooking]

Hi guys,
so i know that ghosts can throw the GWB, but if it is an evidence, they will write in it first. If it is no evidence, they will throw it very early after placing.
do ghosts, which have the GWB as evidence, also throw the book w/o writing if its hidden evidence?
i thought if GWB was a hidden evidence, they would not be able to throw it, and for that matter also throw it if its definetly NOT an evidence ob that ghost.

i hope i could explain well enough for you to understand. maybe i missunderstood the mechanic here.
thank you and greeting,

ANNA

As far as I understand it:

If the ghost does not have GW as evidence: It can throw it.
If the ghost has GW as evidence: It writes in it first. If it has written in it, it can throw it (I've seen that recently).
If the ghost normally has GW as evidence, but it's a hidden evidence: It treats it as if not evidence and can throw it.

That was my understanding, but if someone else has better info (tested, code searched, etc) then I'll defer to them.

To my knowledge, if the ghost cannot write in the book for whatever reason, it will just throw it instead. This obviously applies if writing wasn't evidence to begin with, but I'm pretty sure it extends to if the ghost is hiding writing as well. I haven't played the game recently to confirm this.

This is it...the simplest way to say it is that the ghost will only throw the book if it cannot currently write in that book. So yeah, it can throw after writing, it can throw if it isn't one of its three evidences, or it can write if ghost writing is a suppressed evidence due to difficulty.
