I need help with some equipment

[ROSALINA]

Theres a few equipment items that I'm not sure about in this game, I've got a lot of playtime and only one ghost right.

First, what counts as ghost writing? There's been multiple times that there is no writing in the book but the pencil is gone, does that count?

With the spirit box, does the ghost symbol turning red count as a response? Or does it HAVE to talk in the spirit box, same with asking it to give us a sign and it throwing something or sometimes starting a hunt, does that count?

How should we use the motion sensor?

And ghost orbs are the large dust particles flying around and hovering sometimes right?

Me and my friends have been playing non stop trying to get a ghost but always end up with false evidence, tips please! (^_^)

If the ghost has written in the book, there should be some pretty obvious markings of some kind.

For the spirit box, a positive response will be some sort of radio message. You will get some sort of reply that fits with your question ("Where are you" will result in some form of distance related answer) except in 1 case where it can be heavy breathing. The ghost is constantly listening to you, and saying something like "Give us a sign" can cause the ghost to do something like throwing an object. This is not something specific to the spirit box. Spirit box responses will always be something verbal coming out of the box itself.

The motion sensor is best placed in locations the ghost would have to walk through, like in a door way.

Ghost orbs are glowing orbs that can only be seen through a camera. Be careful, as sometimes things like snow particles can appear inside and can be confused with ghost orbs if you don't know what you are looking for.

While you didn't mention it, the tier 1 EMF reader can occasionally spike to 5. However, it only counts as evidence if the bar goes all the way to the right and stays there for a time. Just briefly touching the 5 does not count. (Also, make sure it is a valid reading - ones gotten during a hunt do not count). The board in the truck has some random modifiers built in, and isn't a guaranteed way to see an EMF rating of 5.

Cold temperatures also confuse some people as well. Seeing your breath does not count as evidence. The thermometer needs to read below 0 in order for it count.

well there is one instance of ghost writing that doesnt show any obvious markings and is instead just very faint scribbles, so its typically easiest to tell writing by the pen being missing (unless you have T1 book in which case the book being thrown on its back by the ghost looks like the front without a pen)

Does this count though? Like what if you really dont see writing and the pen is gone? So anytime the pen is gone does that mean there WAS writing?

the only way for the pen to "disappear" without it being writing is if you have the Tier 1 book and its being thrown on its back (as T1 looks the same from front and back just that the back has no pen)
in any other case a missing pen means the ghost has written, even if you cant see writing in the book

btw if the ghost ever throws your ghost writing book instead of writing in it, it cant write at all
