I do believe in spooks. I do, I do, I do believe in spooks!

As a follow-up to my "I'm frustrated to be stuck on 4 ghosts for months" post, I have this rather dispiriting (ahem, dis-SPIRITING) report.
Today I AGAIN visited all of the places shown in the cheaters' guide. This is at least twice that I've methodically attempted this task. And today I added ZERO ghosts to my total. (Although I did pick up some good free guano in the Deeps!)
I'm confuzzled. I stood there. Jumped around. Danced a reel . . . what, you didn't learn that skill? And nothing appeared. I even made a video to show me and my friends on the quest.
Any ideas on what I'm missing here?

  • Perhaps there are some places not listed in the guide, or maybe the overlay flash file for the ghost did not fully load? In that case, you might have missed the ghost simply because it didn't appear visually. You could try opening a help case and see if staff can help you check if your ghosts are still there.

  • Jumping and dancing (totes jealous of your skill btw!) might not be quite the thing; some of them definitely involved careful/slow/gentle mousing around in the air to make them appear.   One was half concealed behind a tree.   That said, a help case sounds like a good idea before doing the circuit again....

  • Check out this site: www.glitchremote.com/#Locat...

    This is the site that I used to finish my ghost quest...I think one or two of the streets on this list is different from the glitch wiki list.

  • The Ghosts quest was probably the second most frustrating after the 'Empty a Peat Bog in an UnUr amount of time'.

    Took me months to complete as well, hope you get it done.

  • Please forgive me if you're already aware, but I found this really helped to me find my ghosts so I want to be sure you didn't miss it.  At the bottom of the wiki page you referenced you can see images of exactly where the ghost is located on each street.  This was the only way I think I could have found them all.  Good luck!

  • I also highly recommend a ghost tour - the people leading them will know exactly where the ghost appears and often teleport you directly to the spot.  I got my last couple of ghosts (and met some very nice people) that way.  There is a group you can join, and sometimes a post in the forums about planning one.

  • Dang, I don't have the 'dance a reel' skill...must be my 2 left feet...

    Hope you find your ghosts soon...I think I still have this one to do as well, but figure I'll get it done when I get it done...eventually...

  • Also be sure your sound is turned on. There is a particular sound you will hear on streets that have a ghost for you.

  • DNA makes a sort of undulating sound (very hard for some people to hear), but what sound do ghosts make?
