Sanity being increased by 20% after witnessing a ghost hum/sing. Is it a bug or a feature?

[Trigger-Happy Taffy]

After playing for awhile I noticed time to time me and my friends, that often 1 of us has a way higher sanity, by 20% despite us all being in the same area and same time. After awhile I noticed time to time this happens to us and people called me insane. But now I can 100% confirm it. With well only my own eyes. I was playing Tanglewood solo and my sanity was about 90%. I was just setting up and was in that bedroom on the left the moment you enter the house, when suddenly the ghost decided to come from the kitchen to spook me. I must say I never felt more scared as it was really unexpected.

So I ran to the van to asap and noticed my sanity was increased. from 90 range to 100. And in that very moment I figured it all out. When a ghost hums or sings whatever you wanna call it, it gives you a 20% sanity increase. If this is a bug I don't know. If this applies to everyone who heard the song I also don't know. But 1 thing for sure is a ghost can give you 20% sanity. How do I know its 20% even tho I got 10%?

I was also at Edgefield. I was the bait, to get a photo of a phantom haunting the kitchen while everyone else was in the Van watching cams. Whole and behold the phantom shows its form to me, a lady singing/humming a song and I snap a photo and book it to the van and noticed Iwas at 0% to 20%. We were all confused on this but carried on since we got what we finally needed.

This begs the question too me. Do only the female ghost sing/hum? Can all ghost do this? Does this work on other maps beside houses?

1 last note since I think its important, The Edgefield map, the ghost was a phantom woman, the Tanglewood map, the ghost is mare and i'm unsure if its a child or a woman since I never got to see her just heard her.

There has been a couple games of late where i have had the same thing happening. I played some 3 player games with some friends and whichever players name was in the bottom left of the screen in the van, would always shoot up and be 20ish percent higher than the rest of us. This would happen regardless of weather this person witnessed the ghost event or not, but would generally happen once a ghost event is seen.

Should be a big. In one game, our sanity gains every time up to 90% after falls down to 60%.

Indeed, sanity increases, I've been back to 99-100% some times.
I think it's a bug, you shouldn't get more sane after watching creepy stuff.

Chances are the value was accidently put as positive instead of negative, so you gain sanity instead of losing it. xD

It's a known bug and has been fixed in the current beta! Which will be hopefully going live soonish though i can't give an exact date.

I had to uninstall the beta patch because of the no mission rewards bug. It seems to be semi-known on the forums, I just hope it's removed before the patch goes live. (Complete mission, lobby boots you immediately after it ends and you get no money).
