2012 Hallowe'en event

⌊undefined⌋

Haunted Houses is the 2012 Hallowe'en event. It is a community-based event, where players must pick a side to hunt ghost haunting houses in RuneScape. Players can start the event in the Varrock square by talking to either Brother Righteous for Team Righteous or Brother Heinous for Team Henious.

Hunting ghosts
There are ghosts haunting the houses of RuneScape. Players can get hints for the locations of the ghosts by talking to the monks, and the locations will reset every two hours. You will recive a notification in the chatbox when the next "wave" begins. Before every "wave", it is required to check in with the monks either in Varrock or Falador.

Once a ghost is found, it can be dismissed, rewarding the player with ectoplasm that can be spent on robes and an ectoplasmator that boosts Prayer experience.

Locations - current hunt only
As of 18:25 BST
 * daemomheim
 * Yanille Pet shop
 * Yanille North of Wizards Guild
 * Varrock north of museum
 * Fred's House Chicken Coop (north of general store)

Rewards
Every ghost dismissed earns the player 10 ectoplasm, thus a maximum of 50 ectoplasm can be gained per hunt. Each piece of the robes costs 25 ectoplasm, while the ectoplasmator costs 50.

All rewards, with the exception of the cloaks, are members-only. The robes can be switched freely between hallowed and unhallowed versions once one has belonged to both teams. The ectoplasmator can only be bought while wearing the full set of robes.
 * Hallowed hood / Unhallowed hood (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed cloak / Unhallowed cloak (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed torso / Unhallowed torso (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed robe skirt / Unhallowed robe skirt (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed gloves / Unhallowed gloves (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed boots / Unhallowed boots (25 ectoplasm)
 * Ectoplasmator (50 ectoplasm)

Tips

 * Ghosts do not appear at all until you are a few squares from them, so make sure you go close to or into the buildings to find them.
 * Watch the in-game message area, as it can mention that you have spotted a ghost in a location if you went near enough to it. If you see this this line but have not seen the ghost yet, look around as you are near it.
 * Remember that spotting a ghost does not dismiss it. Make sure you actually dismiss it!
 * Ghost seem to be mostly on the ground floors of buildings, but they can be upstairs, too. The "North Varrock" ghost, for example, was on the first floor of the king's castle in Varrock, not the ground floor.

Trivia

 * 'Brother Righteous' may be a reference to the 'Righteous Brothers', who made a song called 'Unchained Melody', which was used in the film 'Ghost' (1990), which relates to the nature of this in-game event.
 * There is currently a glitch where some player's head stretches on the right hand side when dismissing a ghost. It also occurs when casting home teleport or resting after the event. This has yet to be fixed.
