Ghost Field Guide
All 35 ghosts in Abnormality: their evidence, room temperatures, hunt speeds, hunt lengths and the tells that give them away. Mark what you’ve found below and the list narrows itself down.
Difficulty
Evidence Click once for found, twice for ruled out, three times to clear
Hunt timer
Start when the hunt starts, stop when it ends.
Incense timer
Start when you light incense, stop when it hunts again.
Tick anything you saw. Only ghosts that can do all of it stay on the list.
Some ghosts never do certain events. Seeing one rules those ghosts out. Similar things can still happen another way, like a Boggart’s props moving without a throw event, so only mark what you’re sure of.
Hunt movement speed in cm/s, adjusted for the difficulty you picked. Chase effects come on top: most ghosts speed up gradually once they see you, and many have their own rules (distance, light, your movement, temperature). Those are in each ghost’s tells.
How long a hunt lasts on the difficulty you picked. Shikome rolls a new length every hunt. Vardøger uses the length of whatever ghost it is copying.
The average anxiety the team needs before the ghost can roll for a natural hunt. Lower means earlier. It checks about every 25–55 seconds, and the roll depends on tension and the ghost itself, so reaching the number doesn’t mean an instant hunt.
Where the ghost room is heading. ★ means Abnormal Temps is one of its evidence types: then the room drops to about −7°C or climbs to about 40°C. Without it, cold ghosts sit around 2°C and hot ones around 28°C, give or take 1°C. Rooms change slowly, about 0.3°C per second, and the breaker and outside temperature affect readings.
Every ghost has three evidence types. Professional only shows two and Deathwish only one, so a ★ ghost whose Abnormal Temps is the hidden type can leave you with a mild room. The journal above accounts for that.
Incense is how long it keeps the ghost off you. Blink is how often, and for how long, the ghost flickers out of view while hunting. Interactions, tension rise and event rate compare against a normal ghost at 1×.
| Difficulty | Evidence shown | Hunt length | Speed | Speed on sight | Threshold |
|---|
Once a ghost sees you, its speed builds toward its chase speed times the “speed on sight” multiplier, then eases back when it loses you. Ghosts listed with “no gradual speed-up” jump straight there. On Professional and Deathwish, a kill can also extend a hunt that is already running.
