1

EMF Level 5

Place/check EMF around interactions. Not every interaction produces level 5 even when it is an evidence type, so collect multiple readings.

2

Ultraviolet

Check recently touched doors, windows, switches and similar surfaces quickly after interactions.

3

Spirit Box

Follow the current equipment conditions for range/lights/player presence. Ask short questions repeatedly rather than assuming one failed response rules it out.

4

Writing / DOTS / Orbs

Place writing books where the ghost is active, position DOTS to cover movement paths and use video/night vision for orbs. Orbs are tied to the ghost room and can be easy to miss at bad camera angles.

5

Use the journal to eliminate

Mark confirmed evidence and cross out evidence you have conclusively disproven only when your difficulty guarantees that evidence can appear.
