Got 3 evidence but no ghost type

I started a game at Tanglewood but when i found the ghost room and got all 3 evidence on professional difficulty there weren't any ghost types popping up.

Mimics technically have four evidence - Spirit box, freezing, ultraviolet, and ghost orbs. However, the ghost orbs it produces are fakes and do not actually count as evidence towards it.

This obviously can confuse those not ready for it, but an advantage it provides is knowing that on reduced evidence runs there will be +1 evidence to find. This in turn means that a mimic can be easily identified in zero evidence runs because it will always show a ghost orb.

So what I am guessing is that you got as evidence: UV, Ghost Orb, and Spirit Box. Because I think that is the combo that doesn't have a ghost. So if you get that combo, you are dealing with a fake Ghost Orb, IE Mimic.
