To complete the challenge, you need to guess the correct ghost type in three separate matches. You cannot check fingerprints, use the EMF machine, or use the Spirit Box to find out what ghost haunts 42 Edgefield. But worry not, below are some clues to identify ghosts lurking around.
- Mimics: Sends out orbs, which can be captured using cameras
- Wraith: Use salt in the room to check for footprints. The Wraith floats and leaves no prints
- Onryo: Light up three candles and use the crucifix. If the candles go off, it is an Onryo

- Shade: look out for written interactions and will disappear when you move in a group
- Goryo: cannot change their favorite rooms

- Poltergeist: throws objects
- Jinn: Turn on the fuse box and keep an eye on it. If it stays on, it is a Jinn
