Jinn acts like Poltergeist

[Tayavin]

So my husband and I on Intermediate, we get the Ultraviolet evidence sweet....and then for 20 minutes the ghost does nothing but throw things and touch doors; No other evidence.

We give up, again after 20 more minutes of trying to get the final 2 pieces of evidence or even 1 more piece of evidence, and nothing; it doesn't give us a single piece of evidence after UV. We guessed it was a Poltergeist as that's how that spirit typically acts in game....or so we thought, cause all of a sudden its a Jinn???? Yet we get nothing from it, to prove this at all; no EMF (i stood in there and held the meter, walked to where it threw stuff from and to the point where the item landed and barely got a EMF 3), and the temps never got below 5 degrees Celcius/40 degrees fahrenheit and after 20 minutes it still hasn't gone below that. So naturally we assumed the Spirit Box and Ghost Writing wasn't being in the correct place, yet nothing. Nothing gave us any evidence beyond finger prints and foot prints in UV.

Jinn can't turn off breaker, if breaker never goes off it's a pretty solid jinn confirmation.
Also jinn instantly rushes towards you if further than 3m and has seen you. Then it slows down to normal speed when close.
Throwing lots of stuff don't mean it's a poltergeist, you need to make a polty pile (lots of things in one big pile) and watch it explode. If it doesn't then it's not a polty.
EMF is extremely unreliable since it's a dice roll. By chance you can stand there for hours and not get a level 5.
Temperatures should stop at 1 degree in ghost room if not freezing. If freezing -5

I already know and checked all this; again it acted like a Poltergeist and turned off power. Again, I posted this bug due to the fact it was not acting properly.

Yeh some Poltergeists identify as Jins.

Jinns can still turn off the power but in an accidental way, if that makes any sense - they can't turn it off deliberately, but they can overload the breaker if enough lights were turned on at once. (A tell to know this happened is if all light switches that were on are now in the off position) - another big tell is your sanity levels... if you were in the light a bunch but lost a chunk of sanity... that'd be the Jinns ability that it can only do while the house is powered (and there is no tell that it happened except to look at the sanity board).

Poltergeists meanwhile have an easy identification test - pile everything they can throw up. No I'm serious, if it was a poltergeist you'd see the pile of items explode outwards. Spirits are impossible to check but if you only had one evidence there's no real way to disprove it.

As for evidence, the ghost can still roam but otherwise it does not change it's favorite room on Intermediate, so cold breath should have been found and then checked for freezing (which it would have been). So it sounds to me like it was on a long roam when you got the fingerprint evidence, which made you get the wrong room.
As for EMF, again... sounds like you got tricked by a long roam which it didn't do after that first instance. If you had a Ouija board though... you could have put the reader by it and asked "how old are you" a few times - it only takes a small amount of your sanity to trigger each time, but it also provides an EMF reading that can potentially give EMF 5 if the evidence is there to find.

got the same problem a couple games ago, and recent game I used monkeypaw and regular evidences so it should've been either Twins or Shade but was a Jinn
