In the world of Demonology, ghosts are notoriously elusive, leaving behind minimal traces of their presence. This guide will equip you with the knowledge to identify these spectral beings. The key to unlocking their identities lies within your in-game journal.

Your journal's evidence page is your primary tool. This page meticulously tracks your findings, allowing you to systematically eliminate possibilities until you pinpoint the ghost type. Clicking on an evidence type helps narrow down the options; click again to remove a type if it proves inconclusive.

Below is a comprehensive list of ghost types, their corresponding evidence, strengths, weaknesses, and additional notes:

How to Collect Evidence in Demonology


Each ghost leaves three distinct traces. Utilize the appropriate equipment to gather evidence and deduce the ghost's identity. There are seven evidence types:

  • Laser Projector: Ghosts appear as silhouettes when near an active projector.
  • Handprints: Use a blacklight to reveal fingerprints or handprints.
  • Spirit Box: Interact with the Spirit Box to elicit responses from nearby ghosts.
  • EMF Level 5: An EMF reader will register a level 5 reading near a ghost.
  • Ghost Orb: A video camera can capture ghosts as white orbs.
  • Freezing Temps: A thermometer will detect significantly low temperatures.
  • Ghost Writing: A spirit book may be written on by a ghost.

Mastering these techniques will allow you to confidently identify any ghost in Demonology. For more Roblox guides, visit the Escapist's Roblox guides hub.
