83% Oni attack

[Stupid Man]

is this normal? our team had an oni attack at 83% i was in the truck and could see the sanity. did they change the way oni can hunt?

Some possibilities:

1. Someone used a cursed object to start a hunt.

2. Your AVERAGE sanity was high, but whoever was inside had lower sanity (IE, only 1 person had been inside while everyone else was outside, they have 50% or less and everyone else is high sanity in the van). The ghost only uses the sanity of the accessible players as a basis for hunting.

No one used the cursed object, everyone sanity was near 80% which made us all think it can't be oni, we thought maybe raiju. we were shocked when it was a oni. i can't tell if it was a bug. I looked at the sanity board, no one was below 80

Oni's can't attack at 83% without using a cursed item, period. So it was definitely a bug, or someone was hacking, or someone used a cursed item without telling you.

Just to clarify, this isn't the case.
The Banshee will use only it's target's sanity, but otherwise ghosts use the average sanity, regardless of who is in the house or not.

I've experienced this myself. Sat in the house with 0% sanity while 3 others sat in the van at 100%, 75% average sanity. No hunts after spending 10 minutes wandering inside.
Also, found a banshee once because one person had brought all the equipment and sat in the van, while the rest of us wandered around inside. We were sitting at 25% average sanity, but the ghost refused to hunt and we (correctly) guessed it was because it was a Banshee targeting the van dweller.

Short answer,
Ghosts in the current update are Broken.
