Ghost flying around outside of the house?

[Theomax]

On youtube I saw a game where the ghost seemed to be circling the house going around the outside of the house and you could see a dark figure go past the upstairs windows while they were hiding in a room. Is that a particular type of ghost?

And I recently saw in willow street house in the ghost room as it walked in and out of the DOTs it became a ball of smoke and shot out of the window and repeat this a few times. Is this the same thing where it essentially flies around the house in a circle but it leaves the room as a ball of smoke?

No, sounds like someone is using a cheat menu to allow the ghost to be outside the house. The ghost cannot leave the house / camp site area.

On youtube that may be the case - but in single player I saw the ghost turn into a ball of smoke and fly out of the window, it kept repeating it. I saw it a while ago when I first started playing the game too and thought it was standard but haven't seen in since a couple of games ago.

It is an old bug. No one sure why it happens, but it is usually only visible on some maps. At the back window of Willowstreet, and in the sky of Prison. I'm not sure if it was fixed already or not.

This, on the other hand, is clearly someone having fun with cheats.

The mist "ball" pseudo-event itself is not a bug, but I've heard reports of it occurring too frequently or in some other awkward manner. It should appear on its own though, as a sort of standalone manifestation of paranormal. Ghosts don't transform into anything while players can see them... for now...

Yeah I've seen the mist ball and it comes toward you and goes 'haaah' but I saw in the back right bedroom in willow street house (not an event or hunt) it changed into a mist ball (I knew where it was because of DOTs) and flew out of the window as a ball of mist and it repeated this a few times.

I think it is a bug. It is how the ghost's lamp room actually presents on the map, and how cursed items are present on the map at any point. I think the "mist ball" is just a prop somewhere on the map that is being "recalled" to when the ghost wants to make a ghost event. And before/after it does it, the mist ball is getting nudged around the map, but is being seen by mistake. The reason it is not seen on other maps is simple - it is flying under the map itself.

The mist apparition itself is not a bug, it's an actual feature (and not available for Oni since one of the latest patches), but it's possible for it to behave in unintended manner.

There's a mist ball ghost event as you mentioned, then a random similar mist event that flys randomly through certain maps: Prison, Willow, and one of the Farmhouses, I think Bleasedale. These are 2 different things while looking similar, For example: on Willow you can see it fly through the left back room through the garage.

Is that a feature or bug they will remove at some point?

Not sure what it's technically called, been there since day 1 as far as I know.

"You will now never see 'ghost mist' when the ghost type is an Oni" is what it says in one of the patch notes, so that'd make it just "ghost mist" I suppose.

Yea, it seems like the air-ball ghost event is somewhat bugged. On both Willow and Tanglewood I've seen it appear and leave the house without any ghost events occurring. I originally thought it wad due to the ghost attempting to o an air-ball ghost event during a hunt, as this was the first time I had seen it, but since then I've also seen it outside of hunts. I'm just assuming it's a weird ghost event bug.

This was actually the case before the patch, however there was a bug where sometimes the Oni would still perform such an event.

It's from 0.6.2 patch. The changes made to Oni prior to this affect another, actual ghost event (or maybe two of them, I'm not sure), but up until 0.6.2 Oni has been capable of the "ghost mist" pseudo-event.
