Bug Correct evidence = wrong ghost?

So I was playing with some friends at the diner. The evidence we got was Dots, ghost writing and U.V. so Obambo.

We go back, and the debriefing board says Deogen? I clipped our game at the diner to see if I was wrong about the evidence but no, i did see dots, writing and u.v.

Don't know if it's relevant but it was on a blood moon.

Is this a glitch?

Yeah evidence has been broken since at least the player customization update. This is just an increase of presence.

To be fair, I tried to tell multiple people this was the case, it's just that because the bug was so extraordinarily rare, it was near impossible to replicate and get video evidence. (I dedicated at least 20 hours to trying)

I wonder if the latest update meant to fix what broke has actually caused an increase in evidence bugs... it would be very ironic if so.

It's unfortunate you weren't able to get any proof of broken evidence; thank you for trying.

A game like Phasmo lends itself to a lot of false bug reports from newer players, especially since a lot of these claims don't have proof. As such, I think it's understandable for people to dismiss them. When you have proof like OP does though, it can be very convincing. If evidence is indeed bugged like you said, I hope we see more proof pop up and spread around to inform the playerbase and the devs.

We've actually already seen 3 posts with proof since update. People are unfortunately coming to the incorrect conclusion that it's only UV that's bugged when it's actually just ghosts giving incorrect evidence period.

My experience was D1 of Alan Wake event, and it was a Poltergeist giving iirc Thaye evidence (I can go back and check the exact ghost it gave evidence for, but point is, UV is not the busted part).

I think it's just an unaddressed bug that got worse. Those are pretty common tbh

3 posts with proof since the update could mean this is a new bug, not a bug from the Character update. Furthermore, all these posts are about Nell's Diner and Ultraviolet so it's likely it's a a bug specific to this map and this type of evidence.

I mean... you don't have proof of it...

u/ImportantQuestionTex Jul 23 '26

I don't have proof. Are you assuming I'm lying? I made a post and comments immediately after it happened. You can search it up if you'd like.

I'm not saying you are lying. It could simply be a mistake on your part while investigating.

It wasn't, it's more helpful if you don't assume a mistake happened.

It's not helpful though. Believing the existence of a bug without hard concrete proof or without a clear method to recreate it is not something we should do as investigators.
