Ghost

Ghost is a translucent, floating figure with big black eyes, black tears, and a stitched-up mouth that only spawns after a patient has died in Animal Hospital (Anomaly).
It drifts aimlessly through the hospital, can open and close doors on its own, and vanishes the moment a player gets close — but it can still attack you while invisible, draining 2 sanity per second from its 'Ghostly Presence' the whole time it's nearby.
Behavior
- A translucent, floating figure with big black eyes, black tears, and a stitched-up mouth that spawns only after the death of a patient.
- It aimlessly floats around, can open and close doors, and disappears when a player gets near.
- While nearby it drains 2 sanity per second from 'Ghostly Presence' and makes a wispy, crying sound; it will attack the player even while invisible.
How to Respond
Spray it with the Fire Extinguisher to briefly reveal its location (uses up extinguisher material without dealing damage), then kill it with the Taser or Gun by sneaking up behind it. Watch for randomly opening doors or small floating white particles as location clues.
Quick tips
- Spray it with the Fire Extinguisher to briefly reveal its location — this uses up extinguisher material but deals no damage.
- Once it's visible, sneak up behind it and finish it off with the Taser or Gun.
- Watch for randomly opening doors or small floating white particles — both are documented clues to where it's hiding.
- Because it only spawns after a patient death, treating every patient correctly is the best way to avoid triggering it in the first place.
