Evidence is used to determine which ghost is haunting the location. Each ghost has a unique combination of three pieces of evidence that determines which ghost is present. Each player can record pieces of evidence that has been uncovered in the Journal to thin down the possible ghosts, and determine the ghost once all three piece of evidence are collected.
Types of evidence[]
There are currently seven unique pieces of evidence in the game that can be used to identify a ghost:
 EMF Level 5
|
 D.O.T.S Projector
|
 Ultraviolet
|
 Ghost Orb
|
 Ghost Writing
|
 Spirit Box
|
 Freezing Temperatures
| |
Ghost evidence[]
By default, each ghost can give 3 types of evidence. On Nightmare difficulty, each ghost can only provide 2 types of evidence, meaning at the start of the contract, the game will randomly choose 2 types, and the remaining type will be hidden (unobtainable). Similarlly, Insanity difficulty causes each ghost to only give 1 type of evidence, with the other 2 being hidden. The 'Evidences given' option for a custom difficulty can also be changed for the ghost to give 0, 1, 2, or 3 types of evidence.

Some pieces of evidence are guaranteed for specific ghosts, meaning that on Nightmare or Insanity difficulty (or if the 'Evidences given' option is set to 1 or 2), they will not be hidden and will always be one of the ghost's given evidences:
- Deogen: Spirit Box
- Goryo: D.O.T.S Projector
- Hantu: Freezing Temperatures
- Moroi: Spirit Box
- Obake: Ultraviolet
This does not apply if the 'Evidences given' option is set to 0.
The Mimic will always produce Ghost Orbs in addition to its chosen evidences. This works differently from the above "forced" evidences, as none of the Mimic's usual evidences (Spirit Box, Ultraviolet, and Freezing Temperatures) are guaranteed to appear when 'Evidences given' is 1 or 2, while the extra Ghost Orbs are always present even when 'Evidences given' is 0.
Photo evidence[]
In the game there are a number of items that count as photo evidence. Photo evidence can be counted by taking a photo of certain items with the photo camera.
Items that count towards photo evidence:
- Bones (also can be picked up and will not use up an item slot)
- Dead Bodies or when the ghost is killing a teammate
- Fingerprints
- Footprints
- Ghost as a physical manifestation
- Ghost Writing Book containing writing
- Items that have recently been moved by the ghost (i.e. bottles, ghost book, doors, etc.)
- Cursed possessions
- Sink containing dirty water
- Burned crucifixes
- D.O.T.S Projector silhouette
- Disturbed Salt pile
- Firelight recently blown out by the ghost
Trivia[]
- It is not required to update all of the evidence options if the ghost has already been conclusively determined; simply selecting the correct type of ghost is sufficient.
