How to Collect Each Evidence in Demonology

In Demonology, each Ghost type leaves behind three distinct traces. By **using the correct equipment** to **examine these traces**, you can gather evidence crucial for identifying the Ghost type you're confronting. Here's how to collect each of the seven different evidence types:

  • Laser Projector: Place a Laser Projector on the ground and activate it. Ghosts will appear as faint silhouettes when they pass near it.
  • Handprints: Employ a Blacklight to search for fingerprints, handprints, or footprints that the Ghost might have left behind.
  • Spirit Box: Use the Spirit Box to communicate with the Ghost in your vicinity. Persistence is key, as the Ghost may not respond immediately. Keep trying until you've exhausted all dialogue options.
  • EMF Level 5: Use an EMF Reader to detect Ghost activity nearby. While all Ghost types can affect the reader, only certain types can cause all the lamps to light up, indicating EMF Level 5.
  • Ghost Orb: A Video Camera can capture some Ghosts in the form of small white orbs.
  • Freezing Temps: Utilize a thermometer to monitor the temperature around you. A significant drop, especially below zero, suggests the influence of a Ghost.
  • Ghost Writing: Place a Spirit Book in a room that might contain a Ghost. After some time, the Ghost might pick it up and leave mysterious writings inside.
