Hunting ghosts
Dismissing a ghost.
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 either one of the monks, Brother Righteous (white) or 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 and start a hunt.
Once a ghost is found, it can be dismissed, rewarding the player with 10 ectoplasm that can be spent on various rewards in the Halloween Reward Shop. Robes pieces cost 25 ectoplasm each and an ectoplasmator may be purchased after purchasing all of the robes for 50 ectoplasm. An ectoplasmator provides Prayer experience when killing ghosts, in a way similar to a bonecrusher.

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.

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 F2P are only rewarded with a cloak, therefore they only have to complete one game to unlock all F2P rewards
Tips
Varrock during the event.
Falador during the event.
- 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.
- It is possible to have an unhallowed cloak and the hallowed set, or vice versa, This is done so by logging on to a F2P world and switching the cape's colours and switching back to a P2P world and putting the robes on.
- This event is very similar to Chocatrice vs Evil Chicken.
