In the world of Demonology, ghosts are notoriously elusive, leaving behind minimal traces. This guide will help you master the art of ghost identification. We'll explore how to use the evidence you gather to pinpoint the type of ghost haunting your investigation.
How to Identify Ghosts in Demonology

The key to identifying ghosts lies within your in-game journal's evidence page. This page meticulously tracks your findings.
