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 or Falador park by talking to either Brother Righteous for Team Righteous or Brother Heinous for Team Heinous.

Hunting ghosts
There are ghosts haunting the houses of RuneScape which you must find. Players can get hints for the locations of the ghosts by talking to the monks (Brother Righteous[white] / Brother Heinous[red]), and the locations will reset every two hours. You will receive 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 10 ectoplasm that can be spent on robes [1=25 Ectoplasm] and an ectoplasmator [1=50 Ectoplasm] that provides Prayer experience when killing ghosts (barrows brothers do not count).

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 can be stored in the toy box of a player owned house.

All rewards, with the exception of the cloaks, are members-only. If you are Free-to-play, you only get the choice of the cloak when you select the option *Shop*. The robes can be switched freely between hallowed and unhallowed versions. The ectoplasmator can only be bought while wearing the full set of robes.
 * Hallowed hood / Unhallowed hood (25 ectoplasm, P2P)
 * Hallowed cloak / Unhallowed cloak (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed torso / Unhallowed torso (25 ectoplasm, P2P)
 * Hallowed robe skirt / Unhallowed robe skirt (25 ectoplasm, P2P)
 * Hallowed gloves / Unhallowed gloves (25 ectoplasm, P2P)
 * Hallowed boots / Unhallowed boots (25 ectoplasm, P2P)
 * Ectoplasmator (50 ectoplasm, P2P)

A total of 200 ectoplasm points is needed to unlock all of the rewards. This means a member has to complete at least four games. While a F2P would have to complete at least seven to gather all rewards, they are only rewarded with a cloak, therefore they only have to complete one game to unlock all F2P rewards

Tips

 * Ghosts are not visible until the player is within 6 squares of them. Players should make sure they get close enough 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 line but have not seen the ghost yet, look around as you are near it. (You only see this message if you are the first player in a hunt to spot the particular ghost.)
 * Remember that spotting a ghost does not dismiss it. Make sure you actually dismiss it!
 * Weight reducing clothing may be of assistance as there is a bit of running around involved.
