Upon successfully collecting evidence, ensure you **record it in your Journal**. Conversely, if the ghost does not interact with a particular evidence type, mark it as eliminated. This methodical approach will help you quickly rule out irrelevant ghost types and guide you on which equipment to use next.

How to Collect Each Evidence in Demonology

Each ghost type in Demonology leaves behind three distinct traces. Utilize the appropriate equipment to capture these traces, thereby securing the evidence needed to identify the ghost. Here’s how to collect each of the seven evidence types:

  • Laser Projector: Deploy a Laser Projector on the ground. Ghosts will appear as a faint silhouette when they pass near it.
  • Handprints: Scan with a Blacklight to detect fingerprints, handprints, or footprints left by the ghost.
  • Spirit Box: Engage with the Spirit Box to communicate with nearby ghosts. They may not respond immediately, so persist through various dialogue options.
  • EMF Level 5: Use an EMF Reader to sense the presence of a ghost. While all ghost types can affect the reader, only certain ones can trigger all its lamps.
  • Ghost Orb: Employ a Video Camera to capture ghosts manifesting as small white orbs.
  • Freezing Temps: Monitor the environment with a thermometer. Extremely low or sub-zero temperatures indicate ghostly influence.
  • Ghost Writing: Place a Spirit Book in a potentially haunted room. After some time, ghosts may interact with it, leaving behind mysterious writings.

Armed with this knowledge, you're now equipped to confidently identify all ghost types in Demonology. For more Roblox-related content, visit the **Roblox guides hub** on Escapist.
