Despite the lack of evidence tools, ghost activity will be high, aiding in identifying its behaviors. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, and the fuse box will be functional, offering a slight advantage. All nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road are accessible, providing ample opportunities for safety during hunts.

Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, albeit at a steep cost: temporary blindness, deafness, and a Cursed Hunt. This strategy is better suited for groups where one player can act as a decoy.
