How to Collect Each Evidence in Demonology

Each Ghost type in Demonology leaves **three traces**. **Examine** these **traces** using the **appropriate equipment** to gather evidence that will help you identify the Ghost type. There are seven types of Evidence in total, and here's how to collect each one:

  • **Laser Projector**: Place a Laser Projector on the ground and activate it. Ghosts will appear as faint silhouettes when they pass near it.
  • **Handprints**: Use a Blacklight to search for fingerprints, handprints, or footprints left by the Ghost.
  • **Spirit Box**: Use the Spirit Box to communicate with nearby Ghosts. They might not respond immediately, so persist until you've exhausted all dialogue options.
  • **EMF Level 5**: Employ an EMF Reader to detect nearby Ghosts. Only certain Ghost types can cause all the lamps to light up.
  • **Ghost Orb**: Use a Video Camera to capture Ghosts appearing as small white orbs.
  • **Freezing Temps**: Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature around you. A very low or sub-zero temperature indicates Ghost activity.
  • **Ghost Writing**: Place a Spirit Book in a room where a Ghost might be present. After some time, the Ghost may pick it up and leave a written message.
