Things move, the lights go out, and something has been seen on the stairs. Your team is paid to find out what it is. You're not there to get rid of it — you're there to put a name on it and get out alive. Everything a new hunter needs is on this page.
Ghost hunters work out of the city. Look for the Ghost Hunter on your map, near Legion Square. Go alone or bring up to three others — it's open to everyone, at any hour, no job needed.
Talk to the ghost hunter (E) and open the case board — every haunted house has its photo and its story. Pick a case and a difficulty, then invite the hunters standing next to you. They press Y to accept; an unanswered invite lapses on its own.
Everybody gets a waypoint. Drive to the house before the travel time runs out — the hunt starts on its own the moment the whole team is there. Changed your mind? Hold DELETE on the way to drop the case.
The power is out. Everybody has a flashlight and a HUD card showing the house, the room you're in, the time left, your sanity and the team. Your team hunts in its own instance, so nobody else wanders in.
The ghost lives in one room — the cold one, where the EMF reader reacts. Every ghost leaves exactly three of six kinds of evidence. Mark what you find in the journal; it's shared with the whole team.
Pick your answer in the journal and get a photo of the ghost when it shows itself.
End the investigation at the house, then bring the report back to a ghost hunter in the city — that's when you're paid. The report shows what the ghost really was and what everybody earned.
Paid in cash, to every hunter on the team. A wrong answer cuts the job fee, a hunter who was caught gets only part of their share, and Nightmare pays more than Normal. Between hunts there's a short cooldown before you can take another case.
The lower the team's sanity, the more the ghost does. Everything on this page comes back to that.
These are Uncharted's defaults — a few differ from the vendor handbook because those keys already do something here. Rebind any of them in Settings › Key Bindings › FiveM.
| E | Talk to the ghost hunter, use things in the house, end the investigation |
| 1 2 3 4 | Thermometer, EMF reader, spirit box, camera. Your inventory hotbar is switched off during a hunt, so these won't draw anything else |
| G | Use the tool in your hand — ask the spirit box a question, raise the camera |
| 0 | Put the tool away |
| F | Flashlight |
| J | Journal |
| 9 | Put the writing book down, or pick it up |
| - | Put the silhouette projector down, or pick it up |
| H | Night vision, while looking through the camera |
| Y | Accept a team invite |
| Home | Start or stop watching your team after you've been caught |
| DELETE | Hold on the way to the house to drop the case |
Through the camera: LMB takes a photo, RMB lowers it, and the mouse wheel zooms.
While you're on a case the city HUD and the minimap step aside, and the ghost-hunting card takes over.
Each tool can only be held by one hunter at a time, so agree who takes what before you go in. The camera is the exception — everybody has their own.
The journal has the same list under Equipment, in case you forget in the dark.
The tracker. Thermometer. Walks the house and finds the cold room. Puts the book and the projector down as soon as the room is found.
The listener. EMF reader. Stays near the ghost's room and watches for level 5 whenever something happens.
The talker. Spirit box. Asks the questions, so this hunter pays for the answers with sanity. Keep them near a light.
The eyes. Camera. Looks for orbs, takes the photo of the ghost and remembers where the wardrobes are.
Two pieces narrow it down to a couple of ghosts. The third one names it.
| EMF | Did it really reach 5? One bar short is nothing. |
| Temperature | Cold is not freezing. Wait until the number stops falling. |
| Orbs | Seen them twice, through the camera, in the ghost's room? |
| Spirit box | Silence after one question proves nothing. Ask several, close to the ghost. They prefer the dark. |
| Book | It needs time. Leave it for a minute or two before you call it empty. |
| Projector | The same. Leave it running and come back to it. |
These two never come together. Find one and you can cross out the other.
On Nightmare, one of the three never shows up. You have to name the ghost from two pieces and from how it behaves.
Mark what you found in the journal and it does this for you — ghosts that no longer fit are greyed out for the whole team. Here it is on paper.

Evidence tells you which one it is. Behaviour tells you how to stay alive until you know.
It feeds on noise and chaos. Plates fly, doors bang and nothing stays where it was left.
Behaviour. Throws far more than any other ghost, often several things one after another.
Field note. A room where things keep flying is its room. Keep the EMF reader in your hand — every throw is a chance for level 5.
It chooses one of you the moment you walk in, and it will not let that one go.
Behaviour. Picks one victim. Every whisper, every apparition and every hunt is for that hunter only. Nobody else can be caught until the victim is.
Field note. If the same hunter keeps getting everything, it's a Banshee. Its silhouette is never hidden, on any difficulty.
It hides from groups and waits. Split up and it comes out of the dark.
Behaviour. Does nothing at all while two or more hunters stand in its room. Goes after whoever is alone.
Field note. A dead-quiet house is a hint. Leave one hunter in the room and it wakes up. It only hunts when the team is very low on sanity.
It barely touches the floor and loves to talk. Ask it anything; it may answer.
Behaviour. Whispers a lot. Makes no footsteps while it hunts, and it hunts fast.
Field note. You won't hear it coming. When a hunt starts, hide straight away — don't wait to listen for it.
The oldest and the angriest. It does not wait for you to be afraid.
Behaviour. Hunts early, hunts fast and takes short breaks between hunts. With no sanity left, a hunt may not end until it takes someone.
Field note. The first hunt comes while the team still feels fine. Ghost board questions cost half as much with a Demon, and its writing is never hidden.
It lets you poke around for a long time. When it finally hunts, you will not outrun it.
Behaviour. Slow while it can't see you, terrifyingly fast once it can. Quiet for most of the investigation.
Field note. Never run in a straight line. Break its line of sight and get into a wardrobe before it turns the corner.
It shows itself more than any other ghost, and it wants you to stare. Every glimpse costs you a piece of your mind.
Behaviour. Shows itself, walks past and stands in corners far more often. Seeing it costs sanity. Almost invisible while it hunts.
Field note. Take your photo and look away. During a hunt it only flashes up now and then, so don't trust an empty hallway.
It puts out every lamp and candle it can reach. Once the fuse is gone and the house goes black, it stops waiting.
Behaviour. Switches lights off all over the house and blows the fuse. Hunts far sooner while the power is out.
Field note. Remember where the fuse box is before you need it. A team that keeps the power on keeps a Mare calm.
A restless soul that feeds on fear. Stay in its house too long and your thoughts start to go quiet.
Behaviour. Drains sanity much faster than the others. Slams doors and swings them open.
Field note. If your sanity is falling faster than it should and the doors won't stay still, think Yurei. Work quickly.
It borrows the tricks of whatever haunted the house before it. The orbs are a lie; everything else is real.
Behaviour. Always shows orbs it doesn't have. Footsteps, whispers and knocks all the time. Can name the wrong room on the ghost board.
Field note. Found four kinds of evidence? Then one of them is fake, and it's the orbs. Don't trust the board about where it is.
Every hunter has their own. It starts full.
Lamps and candles are not decoration. A lit room is the only place your sanity gets a rest.
The ghost looks at the team's average when it decides to hunt, and it goes for the hunter with the least sanity first. One careless hunter puts everybody in danger.
At low sanity only you notice them: knocking behind you, footsteps, the ghost at the edge of your view, your lights flickering. Even a hunt that looks real and can't catch you. Ask the team before you panic.
| Lights | They flicker. A lamp or a candle goes out. A bulb bursts. The fuse blows and the whole house goes dark. |
| Doors | One slams shut. One slowly creaks open on its own. |
| Things | Something flies off a shelf, or several things one after another. A rocking chair starts rocking. The rats scatter. |
| Sounds | Three knocks. Footsteps walking towards you. A whisper right next to your ear. |
| Devices | The radio or the TV switches itself on. The phone starts ringing. |
| The ghost itself | It shows itself in its room. It walks out and fades away. One of you sees it standing where it shouldn't be. |
When the team's sanity is low enough, lightning hits, the lights go mad and the exit doors lock. A few seconds later it's walking the house, looking for one of you.
Look for hiding places while the house is still quiet. When the hunt starts it's too late to search.
Step outside before it starts. The ghost goes after the hunter with the least sanity first, and it can only catch whoever is inside the house.
You're knocked down, put outside the house and out of the investigation — you can't get back in. You still get part of your reward if the team finishes. While you wait, you can watch your team:
| Home | Start or stop watching |
| ← → | Switch between teammates |
| V | First or third person |
| Backspace | Stop watching |
The High Priestess tarot card can bring a caught hunter back into the house.
Some help, some are a gamble, and two of them call the ghost straight to you. The journal lists the ones in your house under Haunted items.
| Old diary | Helpful | Reading it reveals one piece of the ghost's evidence. |
| Old phone | Helpful | When it rings, pick it up. A voice whispers the name of the ghost's room. |
| Fuse box | Helpful | The house's power. When the ghost blows the fuse, switch it back on here. Too many lights on at once blows it too. |
| Wardrobe | Helpful | Your hiding place during a hunt. |
| Lamps, switches, candles | Helpful | You switch them on, the ghost switches them off. Light calms you down. Bulbs can burst. |
| TV | Helpful | The ghost switches it on by itself — a sign it's around. |
| Rats, rocking chair | Helpful | They react when the ghost is near. Watch them. |
| Cursed teddy | Risky | Squeeze it and it laughs. If the ghost is close, it shows itself — good for the photo. |
| Coffin | Risky | A gamble: a clue about the evidence, or a jumpscare. |
| Tarot cards | Risky | Draw a card and something happens. See the tarot. |
| Ghost board | Risky | Ask the ghost questions. Every question costs sanity. See the board. |
| Radio | Risky | Switch it on to lure the ghost. It gets far more active, and your sanity drains faster. |
| Mirror | Risky | Whisper her name three times. The ghost writes on the mirror in blood and stays angry for a while. |
| Voodoo doll | Dangerous | Every pin forces the ghost to react and costs sanity. The heart pin starts a hunt. |
| Music box | Dangerous | Wind it up by hand. The tune plays through the whole house. When it ends, the ghost hunts. |
Most objects only work a few times and then go quiet. Don't waste the phone or the diary early.
Many bonus objectives ask you to use one of these. Check the HUD before you decide an object isn't worth the risk.
A deck lies somewhere in the house. Some cards save the team, others end your night. The deck runs out, and you never know what's left in it.
With a teammate already caught, the deck is worth the risk — the High Priestess brings them back. With full sanity and a quiet ghost, you have more to lose than to win.
The bad cards hit the hunter who drew them. Let the one with the most sanity do it, and not in the ghost's room.
Sit down at the board, pick a question, and the planchette spells the answer letter by letter. The whole team sees it. It's the most direct way to talk to the thing in the house — and it knows that.
“Where are you?” names the ghost's room. “When will you come for us?” tells you how close a hunt is. “Show yourself” is your chance for the photo.
Only one hunter can sit at the board at a time. The others should stand close, with the lights on.
The doll works the other way round. You don't ask — you push. Every use puts one pin into a random part of the doll, costs you sanity and forces the ghost to react. There are only so many pins, and you don't get to choose where the next one goes.
| Head | Something stirs. |
| An arm | Something moves in the house. |
| A leg | You hear it walking. |
| Heart | Hunt It's coming for you. A hunt starts. |
Press J. Every mark in the journal is shared with the whole team.
| Evidence | Mark what the team found. Ghosts that don't fit are ruled out. Every ghost has its own page with its picture, evidence and behaviour. You pick your answer here. |
| What happened | Everything the ghost did, with the time and the room. |
| Objectives | The job and the bonus objectives with their rewards. |
| Equipment | What every tool does. |
| Haunted items | What every object in this house does. |
| Photos | Every photo the team took, with the room and the time. |
| Team | The hunters and their sanity. |
Open a ghost's page and choose This is our ghost. Then end the investigation at the house and take the report back to a ghost hunter in the city. The report shows the ghost it really was, your answer, its evidence, your photo, the bonus objectives and what every hunter is paid. If the time runs out or nobody makes it out, the case is closed as unsolved. Wander too far from the house mid-hunt and you'll get a warning, then drop out.
| Easy | More time, a calmer ghost, a smaller reward. |
| Normal | The hunt as it's meant to be. Every piece of evidence can be found. |
| Nightmare | Less time, faster hunts, one piece of evidence hidden — and a bigger reward. |
Every run, a few are picked at random and shown in the HUD. Each one pays extra: use a haunted object, hide in a wardrobe during a hunt, survive a hunt with the whole team, name the ghost with nobody caught, photograph the rocking chair while it rocks or the writing on the mirror.
