If viewing feed from the truck, camera placement is key to detecting Ghost Orbs.A player in the truck can view their teammates' head mounted cameras during the initial search for the ghost room to search for Ghost Orbs.In addition, this eliminates back-and-forth trips to the truck, especially on large map where sanity preservation is more important. Because of the periodical moving of Ghost Orbs, searching for them with a hand-held Video Camera is often better than relying on stationary cameras.

As such, Ghost Orbs cannot be the hidden piece of evidence for Mimics on Nightmare difficulty, and will always be present along with the two real pieces of evidence given. The Mimic is also a possibility when Ghost Orbs are found, but these are 'fake' Ghost Orbs that are found in addition to The Mimic's actual pieces of evidence - Spirit Box, Fingerprints, and Freezing Temperatures. When the ghost room changes in Professional or Nightmare difficulty, the Ghost Orbs will also move to the new ghost room. Ghost Orbs will periodically shift position within the ghost room, forcing players to be more proactive in locating them. They can be seen through the screen on a Video Camera with night vision, or through any available video feed with night vision.ĭepending on the map and the location of the ghost room, Ghost Orbs can sometimes be seen via the map's CCTVs if the CCTV happens to be facing into the ghost room, though this is usually rare. They look like very small orbs that glide across the screen, generally one at a time.

When a map is loaded in, Ghost Orbs will spawn in the ghost room and float within the room.
