Appearance

The Ghost is a translucent and ghostly figure that floats. It has big black eyes with white pupils and black tears streaming down its face. It also has a tiny stitched-up mouth as well as a ghost tail. The Ghost can be glitched, however, causing it to have an appearance similar to an Anomaly while still remaining in its ghost-like form. It will still act like a normal Ghost. This only happens when you Shoot a Patient twice.

Behavior

The ghost only spawns after a patient dies, or a fainted patient is thrown into the trash bin. It aimlessly floats around the hospital and disappears if the player gets too close. It is also capable of opening and closing doors. It can sneak up on players, causing the Ghostly Presence effect, which makes the player lose 2 Sanity per second. When nearby, it makes a wispy sound along with faint crying noises. After some time, the ghost disappears with a soft poof sound. It can drain the player's sanity while being invisible.

Strategies

Though mostly invisible, do note that a Ghost can still be revealed via the Fire Extinguisher, after you spray at it. It will materialize for a short while after said action is done, giving its spot right away and allowing for a quick termination. Do note, it will still engage with you. The most effective way is to sneak up behind the ghost and kill it with the Taser or Gun without it disappearing. Watch out for doors randomly opening or small white particles floating around; the ghost is most likely in that area. The fire extinguisher doesn't deal damage to the ghost, but can help expose the ghost's location by making it visible. But player(s) can lose a lot of extinguish percentage in the process. There is a known glitch where the ghost may coexist with doors and racks, dealing -2 Sanity when going in/out.

Known bugs

The ghost can appear with its hitboxes visible For some reason, there may be 3 different ghosts appearing in one run of the game despite the hospital having only 2 recorded animal deaths.; Ghosts are able to faint, which may or may not be a bug.
