Guide to safe play
Want to be safe? Want to know where ghosts are? Want to know where the come from so that you can be extra careful? Here's the solution!

1) Place cameras
Placing cameras in areas where you have picked up lots of activity, weither with the ghost detector or visually seeing the ghosts a lot there, is key to safe play. You should place cameras in these 9 places:

- Near the corridor enterance
- The hallway upstairs
- The cafetirea
- Looking down; ariplane view of the corridor intersection (to know where most ghosts are coming from)
- Both cell locations (right in front of the floodlights)
- Near the exit
- In front of the floodlight of the basement hallway (the one to your left when you first enter - this is where the ghost is commonly seen, if it spawns here in your game; it did for me)

2) Obviously, take the ghost detector and listen to it!
The ghost detector can save your life. Here's what it looks like: a reciever machine. Here's how to use it:

- No lights: You are safe and there is nothing near.
- Green light: Something is near, but at this range it can't do anything.
- Yellow light 1: It's getting close, but there's nothing to worry about.
- Yellow light 2: Uh oh, it's close! Nothing can hurt you, though... yet.
- Red light: There's a ghost right there. Duck into the nearest room, cell, side of the corridor, etc. and hide!

3) Know the paths
The ghosts that roam the building only like the vast, open corridors. They won't go into rooms, making the rooms very safe. I guess somewhere IS safe. At least, from my experience. So if you see a ghost (a certain type of charple that floats around, basically) or you hear it's heartbeat, RUN. Duck into the nearest room and stay there until you can't hear it anymore, or until the light on the ghost detector turns off. Also, ghosts don't seem to have the ability to crouch down and corner you when you are under something. So if you spot an opportunity in a room, crouch down under something! Don't stand around in corridors or large intersections for too long. They WILL get you!

Also, do keep in mind that the basement is the most haunted place in the entire building, so if you're unlucky enough to have to go down there, be incredibly careful! I recommend waiting until the ghost passes by the doorway, then following it. It doesn't turn around, and it's seemingly deaf, so if you have the ghost detector, it should be fine. There is only one ghost down there, so don't worry about getting sneaked.
