How I have found the ghost

[mayapal]

My original post is in the official ghost hunters thread, but it keeps getting pushed back, thought it I put it separate, it might stay up longer. To the mods, if I am not allowed to do this, my apologies and please remove. Many people have reported this has been working for them. I can now say that I have gone through 2 rounds of candy collecting so far today and on round 2 I finished 6/7 within 20 minutes of starting.

In the middle of the night, we night owls had a theory we started, first proposed by member Webkinzaddict, which I have been working on and have REAL results! For the last 80 minutes, I have been able to correctly predict the color and the type of room, but not the room number where the ghost will show up. I have had up to 7 windows at a time looking, which is how I could figure out I got the color and type of room right, but not the number...

Now, the thing that is tough about this, is that everyone has to figure out their own pattern for their own server/computer. I can't just tell you what room and what color he will show up, but I can tell you how I do it. The reason for this is that I believe Ganz is running multiple ghosts on what I will term different tracks, and each individual may have a ghost on a different track. So once I found one ghost, I was able to predict the rest for my computer.

It is all based on the premise that the ghost comes to your computer in roughly a 20 minute cycle. In reality I have found it to be 19-21 minutes. So once you found your first ghost, you know it will be 19-20 minutes before it will show up again. (Ie time for potty breaks!!!!)

Then STICK with the color you were in

Then Look at this list:

party room
games room
go fish room
collector room
girls rule room
sports room
exercise room
reading room
garden yard
bowling alley
trading room
super chef room

Pick the type of room that is the 4th one down form the room you were just in, so if you were in the party room, the 4th one down is girl's rule
If you were in games, move to sports
if you were in go fish, move to exercise
If you were in collector go to reading room
If you were in girl's rule, go to garden
If you were in sports, go to bowling alley
If you were in exercise, go to trading room
If you were in reading, go to super chef
If you were in garden, go to party
if you were in bowling alley , go to games
If you were in trading, go to go fish
If you were in super chef, go to collector UNLESS Doug is in the room, then go to Girl's rule

make sure you are in the room at least 5 minutes before the predicted time he will return

UNFORTUNATELY, he doesn't always show up in all the room numbers of the type of room and color. On my tests, he shows up in about half the rooms I am in of a certain type and color.

But, I figure, this is better than random, and I finished all 7 accounts in around an hour.

If you need a starting place, find an exact time and type room someone else posted and you may be able to find the same track if you are on the same server

Since typing , I have hit ghosts 10 and 11

There is real computer logic behind this which is why I think it is working which I won't bore people with here.

going to copy and paste over to....

[Elektra]

Out of curious if he is in Games then he goes to Sports then Bowling Alley then back to Games, how does he get to the other rooms?

[mayapal]

He is on multiple different tracks. It is not just one ghost. There are probably dozens of ghosts on their own little pattern between the rooms. I believe the ghost is also in the coral cove, but I haven't experimented there.

The way this works is that the ghost is programmed to each room in a color zone for a minute.

It goes down the colors in the phone (not using gold)
light blue
yellow
light green
pink dark blue

in each type room in this order
party room
games room
go fish room
collector room
girls rule room
sports room
exercise room
reading room
garden yard
bowling alley
trading room
super chef room

now you can't see the ghost for most of those minutes on YOUR computer, because he only shows up every 20 minutes (plus or minus one) on YOUR computer. There are probably a hundred different tracks of ghosts popping up at different times on different tracks......

All I know is that on round 3 today of hunting I got 5/7 accounts so far in under 40 minutes using my theory, and the prior 2 rounds I got 7/7 within 2 hours and 1 hour

I am up to 7 candies on my best account.

MANY thanks to Webkinzaddict for starting this whole thought process!!!!!!!

Elektra is one of my favorite names, hope you aren't offended if I tell you my mare is named Elektra

[CheekyDB]

Thanks so much -- I saw this in the other thread and it helped me find the ghost on our many family accounts.

It was also nice that I could just come to this thread to give you rep, and not try to find the other post

[fruit2o]

Thanks for the info. I am waiting for the ghost!
