Guide for the Ghost Types and their differences

In this guide, I'll show you the differences between the ghost-types in the game. This guide will contain huge spoilers about the ghosts in the game, since I'll put the ghosts in categories, so you know how to investigate each ghost! In case you do not want to see spoilers, I'll put the ghosts in a spoiler-warning.

About this guide

This guide contains the ghost-types, the evidence you can gather around the ghost, and the differences between the types. I won't put each ghost with its unique audio lines, relics, and spawn spots in here, nor the lore about them. This will be part of another guide :) Since you can't check the in-game wiki during the investigations, I'll put them also in here so that people can check them to every moment.

In case you want to check the wiki in the game, it is on your pc in the office. On the picture it's the number 5. As soon as you're in the wiki, open the spirit guide.

Let's get into it :)

The Residuals

First the wiki from the game:

In short:

• common spirits
  
• stuck in a loop, act the same event over and over again
  
• unaware of surroundings
  
• repeated memories → tied to specific moments during lifetime
  
• cold spots, emfs
  
• manifestations, sound

Difference to other ghost-types:

• do not interact with their surroundings, no lights, no doors
  
• do not reply to EVP-questions, ParaVox or ParaBox
  
• they are stuck in a special loop, so you can find them in the same spots
  
• they appear to be kinda transparent

Tools you can use for this ghost-type:
