'''Ghosts''' are  an environmental hazard unique to the [[Harvest Event]] and [[Eyeaduct]] Halloween maps. They appear as stereotypical glowing blue sheet ghosts wearing a Ghastly Gibus. They can also be summoned by [[Merasmus]] on [[Ghost Fort]].
 
  
Harvest Event is haunted by the ghost of [[Non-player characters#Zepheniah Mann|Zepheniah Mann]], who is larger than the ghosts in Eyeaduct and topped with his personal [[Ghastly Gibus]]. He appears at certain spots in the map before following a predetermined route, shortly after which he will disappear. During his brief appearances, the nearby lights will dim and he will echo moans. If any player strays too close, Zepheniah's ghost will utter a boo and scare the player, rendering them [[stun]]ned for several seconds.
+
'''Ghosts''' are moving [[Environmental death|environmental hazard]] NPCs introduced in the [[Haunted Hallowe'en Special]] on [[Harvest Event]] (as the [[The Last Will and Testament of Zepheniah Mann|haunting promised]] by [[Non-player characters#Zepheniah Mann|Zepheniah Mann]]) and are now found on many later [[Halloween map]]s. These Ghosts appear as glowing blue/violet sheeted Ghosts, often wearing a [[Ghastly Gibus]].
  
The ghosts on Eyeaduct behave similarly to Zepheniah's ghost, but do not dim the lights, and only spawn after a team captures the [[control point (objective)|control point]]. Multiple ghosts can be active in Eyeaduct at the same time and will disappear after scaring a player.
+
Normally, Ghosts appears at certain spots in the maps following any of a number of predetermined routes at the ends of which they disappear. During their brief appearances, they give out moans and may dim nearby lights. If any player gets too close, the Ghosts may utter a boo and scare the player, [[Stun|haunting]] them for several seconds.
  
Ghosts spawn on [[Ghost Fort]], but only after the control point is captured and the Wheel of Fate determines it. Seven ghosts can also be found lurking in the bottomless pit, one of which is wearing a Ghastly Gibus, much like Zepheniah Mann's ghost.
+
Ghosts may appear after a special event of the map occurs, depending on the map. Note that not all Haunted maps have Ghosts.
 +
* Ghosts may appear after capturing an objective (e.g., in [[Eyeaduct]] after capturing the control point).
 +
* Ghosts may appear on scheduled times and routes (e.g., in [[Hellstone]] ).
 +
* Ghosts may appear during or after a Witching Hour (e.g., between [[Helltower]]'s Witching Hours, the Ghosts of Zepheniah Mann appears at the Clocktower to stun  players there).
 +
* Ghosts may appear when a Wheel of Fate spin so determines (e.g., in [[Ghost Fort]] and [[Moonshine Event]]).
  
The ghost of Zepheniah can also be seen watching over the battle at the tower in [[Helltower]], observing as the corpses of his murdered sons Redmond and Blutarch are escorted into Hell by the mercenaries. The ghost will briefly vanish from the tower during The Witching Hour before reappearing once the ghostly bridge disappears.
+
Killing a player while they are scared by the Ghost during a Halloween event grants the player the ''Scared Stiff'' [[Scarechievement]]. Additionally, a player scared by the Ghost can count towards certain stun/slowdown related achievements.
  
In Hell, players turn into ghosts upon dying, whether by environmental death or by being killed by another player. They are given an infinite jump to let them "fly" around; and primary fire will make the ghost say "Boo!", although it will not scare players as the ghosts on Harvest will; otherwise, players are unable to attack or interact with other players. Ghost players are also unable to pick up the book inside Skull Island and thus cannot complete the ''Hat Out Of Hell'' [[Halloween achievements#2013: Bereavements|Bereavement]].

Ghosts are moving environmental hazard NPCs introduced in the Haunted Hallowe'en Special on Harvest Event (as the haunting promised by Zepheniah Mann) and are now found on many later Halloween maps. These Ghosts appear as glowing blue/violet sheeted Ghosts, often wearing a Ghastly Gibus.

Normally, Ghosts appears at certain spots in the maps following any of a number of predetermined routes at the ends of which they disappear. During their brief appearances, they give out moans and may dim nearby lights. If any player gets too close, the Ghosts may utter a boo and scare the player, haunting them for several seconds.

Ghosts may appear after a special event of the map occurs, depending on the map. Note that not all Haunted maps have Ghosts.

  • Ghosts may appear after capturing an objective (e.g., in Eyeaduct after capturing the control point).
  • Ghosts may appear on scheduled times and routes (e.g., in Hellstone ).
  • Ghosts may appear during or after a Witching Hour (e.g., between Helltower's Witching Hours, the Ghosts of Zepheniah Mann appears at the Clocktower to stun players there).
  • Ghosts may appear when a Wheel of Fate spin so determines (e.g., in Ghost Fort and Moonshine Event).

Killing a player while they are scared by the Ghost during a Halloween event grants the player the Scared Stiff Scarechievement. Additionally, a player scared by the Ghost can count towards certain stun/slowdown related achievements.
