Demonology gives you eight evidence types, and every ghost leaves exactly three of them. Your job on a hunt is to grab the right tool, point it in the right place, and watch for the one tell that confirms a piece of evidence. Once you have three confirmed, your journal narrows the list to a single ghost. All eight are lined up side by side so you can see which tool finds each one and how to know for sure.
How to use this collection
Each card lists the tool that detects the evidence and the exact tell that confirms it. Read the detection tool to know what to carry, then use the confirmation tell as the signal you are looking for before you mark it in the journal.

Device readings
These three are read straight off a handheld device. Carry the matching tool into the ghost's room, wait for the reading to settle, and treat the threshold or response as your confirmation.
EMF Level 5
EMF Level 5 is only confirmed when the EMF Reader hits its top red light during ghost activity. Anything below Level 5 is not this evidence.
- detection tool
- EMF Reader
- how to confirm
- Hold the EMF Reader near the ghost while it interacts with objects, manifests, or starts a hunt, and watch the meter climb through its lights.
- confirmation tell
- The final red light (Level 5) lights up and a high-pitched beep plays. Lower readings on their own do not count.
Spirit Box
Spirit Box needs the ghost in the room with lights off. A spoken answer or red on-screen caption confirms it; the Plushie can guarantee a reply.
- detection tool
- Spirit Box
- how to confirm
- Stand in the room with the ghost present and the lights off, then use the Spirit Box and ask it questions.
- confirmation tell
- The ghost replies audibly and/or shows a red caption at the bottom of the screen. A Plushie can force a response when it starts levitating.
Freezing Temperatures
Freezing Temperatures is confirmed when the Thermometer drops below freezing, or by cold cues like breath, floor fog, and frosted windows.
- detection tool
- Thermometer
- how to confirm
- Carry a Thermometer into the ghost's room and let the reading settle, or watch the room for cold visual cues.
- confirmation tell
- The Thermometer reads below 0 degrees C / 32 degrees F. Visible breath, floor fog, and frosted windows also count.
section
Camera and light reveals
These evidences only show up through a camera or under a light. They will not appear to the naked eye, so you need to point the right lens or beam at the ghost's room to catch them.
Ghost Orb
Ghost Orb only shows up on camera. Watch the ghost room through a Video Camera, the Video Monitor, or a Head-Mounted Camera.
- detection tool
- Video Camera
- how to confirm
- Point a Video Camera at the ghost room, or view the room through the Video Monitor or a teammate's Head-Mounted Camera.
- confirmation tell
- A floating orb appears on camera in the ghost room. In Nightmare it drifts to the new room when the ghost room changes.
Prints
Prints are revealed with a Blacklight on surfaces the ghost touched. A disturbed salt line is a guaranteed place to check.
- detection tool
- Blacklight
- how to confirm
- Shine a Blacklight over doors, windows, walls, and players after the ghost has interacted with objects.
- confirmation tell
- Glowing fingerprints or footprints appear under the light. Disturbed salt lines are a reliable place to find them.
Laser Projector
Laser Projector confirms when the ghost shows up faintly walking through the lasers. A Video Camera and low graphics make it easier to spot.
- detection tool
- Laser Projector
- how to confirm
- Place a Laser Projector in the ghost room and watch the laser field, ideally through a Video Camera for clearer detection.
- confirmation tell
- The ghost becomes faintly visible as it walks through the laser grid. Lowering Roblox graphics to 1 bar can improve visibility.
section
Placed and passive
These two come from something you place or simply observe over time. Set down the object, then keep watching the room or the wider map for the change that confirms the evidence.
Inscription
Inscription confirms when the ghost writes in the placed Spirit Book or marks a wall. A book thrown outside a hunt rules it out.
- detection tool
- Spirit Book
- how to confirm
- Place the Spirit Book in the ghost's favorite room and wait, and also watch the walls for markings.
- confirmation tell
- Writing appears in the Spirit Book or on walls. If the ghost throws the book outside a hunt, this evidence is disproven.
Wither
Wither has no detector. Watch for decay over time, and use a placed Flower Pot whose flowers wilt as a clear sign.
- detection tool
- Observation (Flower Pot)
- how to confirm
- Watch the map over time for passive decay, and place a Flower Pot in the ghost's room as a clear indicator.
- confirmation tell
- Flowers wilt, metal rusts, and paintings distort. The time before decay starts is random.
Why three evidences decide the ghost
Every ghost in Demonology is tied to a fixed set of three evidences. The game has eight evidences in total, so no two ghosts share the same three. As you confirm each one, mark it in the journal and the list of possible ghosts shrinks. You rarely need all three to guess, but locking in three removes almost all doubt before you finish the contract.
Watch out for fakes and timing
A few evidences can trick you. Skinwalkers can fake Ghost Orb, so confirm the other two evidences before you trust an orb on camera. Prints fade over time and fade faster on higher difficulty, so check surfaces soon after the ghost is active. Wither has no detector at all and its decay starts at a random time, so give it patience instead of expecting an instant reading.
FAQ
How many evidences does each ghost leave in Demonology?
Each ghost leaves exactly three of the eight evidences. Because the totals are fixed, confirming three is enough to narrow your journal down to a single ghost.
Which evidence can be faked?
Ghost Orb can be faked by a Skinwalker. Confirm the other two evidences before you trust an orb you see on camera.
Is Inscription the same as Ghost Writing?
Yes. Inscription is the current journal name for the evidence that used to be called Ghost Writing. It is found in the placed Spirit Book and also on walls.
Why can't I find Prints anymore?
Prints fade after a while, and they fade faster on higher difficulty. Shine the Blacklight over touched surfaces soon after the ghost is active, and check disturbed salt lines for a reliable spot.
What tool detects Wither?
Wither has no dedicated detector. You confirm it by watching the map for passive decay like wilting flowers, rusting metal, and distorted paintings. Placing a Flower Pot gives you a clear indicator to watch.
