You are most welcome! 🙂 Keep in mind if you have the lights on in the ghost room it will prevent any ghost from throwing objects or responding in a spirit box. Ghosts prefer the dark.
So I just played Willow Street map on Professional, and we played for like 15 min. We didn't have fingerprints nor book writing (there were moments where we were all in a van and ghost was alone. Also i got the response after like 15 questions into the spirit box. There were no dots and no orbs. Yet it was Shade..... how? It was in the hallway in basement. When we were there, the ghost was opening doors. He wasn't active at all, only opening doors around basement.
A Shade is very inactive, but the lower your average sanity the more active it will become. It cannot throw things when you are in its room, but it can interact such as touching doors or knocking on windows. It also cannot hunt when you are in its room. The evidence for Shade is Writing, Freezing, and EMF5 so you should not have had any response on a spirit box. You said "we" so I assume you were in a group. When trying a spirit box for any ghost, always try it alone, then ask someone to join you. Some ghosts only respond if one person is in its room, or some are "everyone" ghosts which means you need another person in the room with you for it to respond (if that is its evidence). When you play amateur or intermediate it will tell you this on the van board, but not on professional or higher difficulties.
I actually hate shades so much, and I feel so dumb when I guess something else on nightmare, because how am I supposed to recognize the lack of the ghost doing anything, when sometimes they just don't do anything? Just last night I was doing nightmare on woodwind, got EMF and Freezing instantly, and spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out what it was, it never turned off the generator, and it wasn't hunting so I couldn't get any hunting tests, so I picked Jinn, and never even considered shade, because I had just gotten one and what are the odds of getting two in a row. I just thought it was a particularly passive ghost, probably mixed with some weird camp interaction, like how a Yurei in a hallway basically loses out on their main ability since they're not in any room. They're just so inconspicuous that they're incredibly obvious *after* you get them wrong, because of course it was a shade, nothing was happening. Actually the worst ghost, worse than demon, or banshee, because at least they do something. I hope the devs make another game about exorcizing the different ghost types, so I can personally send every shade on the planet back to hell. I bet every DMV worker who dies becomes a shade, due to their eternal crusade is to waste everybody's time.
I can understand the frustration. This video is now old and a new thing added is the shade will also not blow out any firelights. So another strategy is to put motion sensors in the doorway of the ghost room. Then stand in the room with your lighter on and or firelights in the room. If nothing gets thrown or no firelights blown (and the ghost has not left the room) then that is a good test. The reason for the motion is that if the ghost leaves the room, it could interact through the wall if close by and throw an object in the room you are in, making you think it is not a shade. Also, keep in mind if you have the lights on in a ghost room, no ghost can throw any items.
So what exactly is it's ability? In my last hunt I figured out it was a shade by deducting other ghosts since it wouldn't give us EMF5. In the statistics it stated "Abilities used: 0". Can it even "use" an ability?
A very good question. I am not sure the Shade doing these abilities would be recorded. As it does not drain sanity or teleport across a map or those sorts of abilities. I would have to test it. I guess it is more accurate to talk about its inabilities? 🤣
This was amazing!!! I just got a ghost that wouldn't do anything when I was in its room so this just told me what to do! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
You are most welcome! 🙂 Keep in mind if you have the lights on in the ghost room it will prevent any ghost from throwing objects or responding in a spirit box. Ghosts prefer the dark.
Right thank you!👍
The reason the Shade is my favorite ghost is because it’s just like me. Shy af and doesn’t do anything
actually didnt know about that with summoning circle. Ty for the content you make.
You're welcome!

"Inabilities used" 😂 Shade is a weird one but luckily not that hard to identify 😊
Okay but what is that mess in the garaje ahhahhaa
Don't know how that got there XD
