Your job in Demonologist is to identify what specific hostile spirit is haunting the area, so knowing all ghost types is going to be essential. Expert ghost hunters would already be able to identify the type of ghost that’s haunting the place based on its behavior alone, with very little evidence. So if you want to become an elite Demonologist, you’ve come to the right article. Read ahead as we walk you through all available ghost types and teach you how to identify each of the ghosts in the game.

Each ghost type has its own textbook behavior that you can use to quickly figure out what you’re dealing with. However, some ghosts are sometimes difficult to define, so you might want to be extra sure so you don’t get it wrong. You’ll have to use the right tools in Demonologist to see what kind of evidence they leave behind.
As we’re still early into the game, not all of the Demonologist ghost types’ behavior has been properly described yet. We’ll be sure to update this once the community discovers new information.
How to Identify Each Ghost Type in Demonologist?
Each ghost type has unique combinations of evidence that they leave behind. Aside from looking at textbook behavior, pay attention to each ghost’s tell. Here are the evidences each ghost type leaves that you can use to identify them:
Ghost Type | Evidences |
Abaddon | EMF 5, Spirit Box, Freezing |
Agash | Ectoplasm, Fingerprints, Freezing |
Boogey | EMF 5, ESG, Spirit Box |
Demon | Easel, Ectoplasm, Freezing |
Deogen | ESG, Ectoplasm, Fingerprints |
Goryo | EMF 5, ESG, Fingerprints |
Guipo | ESG, Ectoplasm, Spirit Box |
Gul | Fingerprints, Spirit Box, Freezing |
Hantu | Easel, Spirit Box, Freezing |
Iblis | ESG, Easel, Spirit Box |
Jinn | EMF 5, ESG, Freezing |
Mare | EMF 5, Easel, Freezing |
Myling | Ecoplasm, Spirit Box, Freezing |
Naamah | ESG, Easel, Ectoplasm |
Oni | EMG 5, Fingerprints, Freezing |
Onryo | EMG 5, Easel, Fingerprints |
Poltergeist | ESG, Fingerprints, Spirit Box |
Raiju | ESG, Ectoplasm, Freezing |
Revenant | Easel, Fingerprints, Freezing |
Shade | Easel, Ectoplasm, Spirit Box |
Thaye | Easel, Fingerprints, Spirit Box |
Wraith | EMF 5, Ectoplasm, Fingerprints |
Yokai | EMF 5, Easel, Spirit Box |
Yurei | EMG 5, ESG, Ectoplasm |
No two ghost types have the same combination of evidence. Pay close attention to each piece of evidence left behind by the ghost, as they usually don’t last long on the scene.
If you’re having trouble getting evidence, then we recommend using the ESG. This will encourage the ghost to do something. However, be careful, as ghost activities can drain your sanity. If you’re dealing with an Abaddon or Yokai, you could be in trouble.
Now you know all the Demonologist ghost types and how to identify each of them. We hope this article was useful.
