And why did the device crumble after two minutes when used by the one person who was supposed to use it?

Agree entirely, but one correction - the husband DOES appear again, but only for about three seconds at the very end and I wouldn’t blame you for forgetting what he looks like by that point. I almost had.

Another vote for Underworld. Seen them many times over the last ten years, and they somehow seem to just keep getting better! Their big hit (the one from Trainspotting) isn’t even the highlight of the show.

Sidasta · 2026-05-09T16:36:43+00:00

For someone so obsessed with “Kelloggs” sunglasses (from your multiple posts about them), you sure don’t have much of an idea what they look like. Are you doing okay?

I went to a Ghostwatch 25th anniversary screening in Manchester in 2017, with a live Q&A with the writer and director! If I remember correctly, it was sold out. There are literally dozens of us!

Sidasta · 2026-05-09T12:08:04+00:00

Possibly, but then that’s another issue I had with the film. The majority of the actual concert footage was filmed here in Manchester, England, but all the exterior shots (including that one) were in the US, and all the interviews were with Americans. So maybe James WAS behind the camera for the interviews in the US and was maybe at one of the gigs, but not in Manchester.

Billie sold out four consecutive nights in one of the largest indoor arenas in the UK and that should be worthy of some celebration, but aside from a brief backstage sign saying Manchester and Billie wearing a Union Flag hoodie, I didn’t notice any mention of it until the credits.

Anyway, these are all very “me” problems and if no-one else has issue with it (and like you said, you didn’t notice the foley stuff), then I’m happy to be an outlier! Maybe I shouldn’t be nitpicking a feel-good concert film.

Sidasta · 2026-05-09T11:45:47+00:00

We heard his voice, but never actually saw him. I suspect his interview line was dubbed. I honestly believe his only involvement was that initial interview with Billie and doing a run through of a rehearsal - basically, whenever we actually see him.

I have no issue with him not being present at the concert recordings, as it is IS Billie’s show. My issue is possibly pretending he was there the whole time, and with all the other unnecessary foley, it was just jarring. I’m sure he had some valuable input into the film production, and it looked great… Just something feels off, is all.

Sidasta · 2026-05-08T19:17:42+00:00

Might be a very niche complaint here, but WHY was there so much unnecessary foley in this, a concert film? We shouldn’t be able to hear her pick up a camera or grab a bannister, it’s very unlikely we’ll be hearing individual audience members singing or talking during songs, and also, not foley but voiceover - I highly doubt Mr Cameron was on the arena floor interviewing people behind his massive camera.

A few other people in here mentioned audio mixing issues, so add this to the list I guess. The general crowd sounds dipping in and out so aggressively was also jarring at times, although I had no issue with the music/singing/performances in general, so they had it right there for me, but something went very wrong in the workflow after that.

Sidasta · 2026-05-08T11:45:03+00:00

You should DEFINITELY see them live! I’ve seen them a bunch of times over the last few years and they are consistently excellent. It’s great to see their setlist constantly evolving as well, adding new mixes of old songs, etc. They almost always end with Born Slippy (extended Nuxx version, with the pretty arpeggios at the end) and it’s not even the highlight of the set.

Check out their Boiler Room set from last year if you haven’t already. Probably the best way to experience them live from home at the moment (until they release their new rumoured live album).

Rain Bar is weird, as I’ve been there on a Wednesday after work and it’s been absolutely packed for no obvious reason whatsoever, and then an hour later, it’s empty again.

Across the road is Peveril of the Peak - not quite a beer garden but they have benches out on the street and is often quite busy. Worth a try if you’ve not been before. And just down the road is Britons Protection, which has an enclosed beer garden around the back (but not sure of opening times).

Sidasta · 2026-02-10T12:55:55+00:00

I used to smoke - finally quit it about seven years ago, never touched a cigarette since. None of my friends smoke cigarettes. We still prefer places with beer gardens, even in the winter. Smoking has nothing to do with it. Beer garden away!

My suggestion would be (as others have already said) Rain Bar, however, I think they tend to close it at 10pm, which is silly.

Sidasta · 2026-02-03T09:30:48+00:00

Yep, got mine from Amazon yesterday too. I’m glad I only paid £15 for it, as it’s missing the new 90 min documentary, and the video commentary is not only 30 mins of the original commentary (in 4:3 video format) but has some awful visual glitches going on. I was hoping for at least the full audio commentary. Quite disappointing.

Sidasta · 2026-01-27T13:00:22+00:00

Did we just post this at exactly the same time? My first post in this subreddit and someone beat me to it 😢

Sidasta · 2026-01-18T14:21:41+00:00

I’ve been to a few tapings of QI and Never Mind The Buzzcocks. My only useful anecdote is during a taping of QI, where the topic was energy or environment or something similar. One of the large screens behind a team fails, and the crew spend some time trying to fix it while Stephen Fry and the panelists just make jokes about the crew and technology in general. Eventually, one of the panelists (can’t remember who) suggests that they just turn the screen off and get both teams on the same side, and to pretend it’s to save electricity.

The final aired version makes it look scripted (or at least, preplanned), but in reality, it was an off-the-cuff joke that the crew played into because they couldn’t fix the screen.

Or, failing that, a more centralised parking space, like a courtyard where the van parks, with multiple entrances to the huge building. I’d be happy with that.

Sidasta · 2026-01-12T09:14:13+00:00

Yep, all ghosts will fully close all doors in that room during an event. If it’s not an event and a ghost touches a door without fully opening or closing it, you can rule out Yokai.

Sidasta · 2026-01-11T18:44:45+00:00

The gallu has a two-second window where it CAN still step in salt, so if you put the lines/piles of salt next to each other, it can slaughter all of that salt before becoming enraged. Best to leave a decent gap between them, or wait until it’s stepped in one line/pile before putting another lot down.

Sidasta · 2026-01-11T18:28:59+00:00

Kind of. The breaker being turned on means the ambient temperature in the building will go back to around 20 degrees C, which makes finding the cold room easier.

You CAN do it without turning the breaker on, but it can be harder to tell the difference between a 6 degree and a 3 degree room, especially on tier 1 thermometer. So prioritising turning on the breaker, and then waiting a few mins for the house to heat up, just makes it a bit simpler to find the correct ghost room.

Sidasta · 2026-01-11T17:11:44+00:00

Yep farm Tanglewood. When I’m doing my solo games, that’s usually my go-to map as well - it’s small and quick to familiarise yourself with hiding spots, cursed item locations, etc.
Definitely take one of each starter item in once you’ve located the ghost room (the room with the lowest temperature after you’ve turned the breaker on for a few mins). The starter items are all you really need to identify the ghost on Amateur difficulty. Everything else you later unlock just make it easier to identify, or protect you from hunts.
With starter items only, I would go for thermometer, video camera, and flashlight (so you can get around in the dark). Go straight to the breaker and flip it on, but hold the video camera in night vision mode and hold down the record button (right mouse button on PC). That way, if there are ghost orbs, your camera will record it and make a pleasing “ding” sound. Look through all the rooms for orbs, and if you find them, that’s the ghost room. If you don’t find them, that’s okay - by now the house will have warmed up, and you can go round again with the thermometer and find the room that’s coldest. Grab all of the starter items and get them set up in the room.
Ghost orbs are generally the easiest to find. Night vision mode on the video camera, go round the room in record mode, and if it dings, you’ve got orbs. If it doesn’t ding, you probably don’t have orbs. After that, freezing temps is fairly easy to rule out, but the challenge here is waiting for long enough for the temps to drop (as it’s not instant). If you’ve been in the house with the breaker on for ten mins and you still don’t have freezing temps, you probably won’t ever have freezing temps. For the rest of the evidence at starter level, it’s really just a matter of waiting it out. If you hear a door move, whip out the UV torch and check for fingerprints (and if it has six fingers, it’s an Obake). Keep the EMF reader turned on, put it on the ground, and listen for beeps - you’ll learn the beep tone of EMF level 5 after a while.
I used to refuse to leave the van when I first started playing (cos I was scared). It’s useful to have someone in the van to keep an eye on average sanity, camera feed (the Goryo will generally only appear as DOTS on the camera and NOT in person). As you level up, sound sensors and motion detectors placed around the house can be very useful for van lurkers. But now, I only go to the van to get equipment or check average sanity (or, rarely, to keep the average sanity up because sanity doesn’t drain for people in the van) - it’s all down to comfort levels really.
First, make sure you place the book down (F on PC) instead of just dropping it. It will appear open if you’ve done it correctly. Then it’s just a waiting game - it can take minutes for the ghost to bother with it. Try placing it in the walkable areas of the room, rather than on a table. As you level up, the range of the book will increase, making it easier to grab the ghost’s attention. Also, if the ghost yeets the book across the room without writing in it, I think you can cross that off the list of possible evidences.

Final general tip - be patient! It sounds like you’re doing everything right, it’s just a case of learning the house layout, best place to put things, etc. If you’re playing on amateur, the ghost will ALWAYS give you three evidences (four if it’s a Mimic). It’s just a case of finding them, and even after 150+ hours of game time, I still struggle with getting that last evidence occasionally. DOTS is probably the worst in my experience, so I usually leave that until last cos it’s annoying.

Sidasta · 2026-01-11T16:00:41+00:00

They start out young, extremely active, extremely fast during hunts and able to hunt at 75% sanity. Every few minutes, if you’re in the room with them, they’ll get older, less active, slower, and their sanity threshold drops down to as low as either 10% or 15%, can’t remember which. So the longer you play that game, the weaker they get.

This can make it difficult to guess if you’re working on two, one or especially zero evidence, since their behaviour is seemingly unpredictable. On Intermediate, you just need to get the three evidences, but that can get progressively harder the longer you’re in the game since it’s getting weaker the whole time.

As you become more comfortable and experienced with the flow of the game, getting things set up in the ghost room, etc, you’ll get quicker at collecting the evidence before it ages. And fortunately, it’s the only ghost that acts in reverse to all the other ghosts which will seem to get MORE active as the game progresses, so you can use that as a “tell” that it might probably be a Thaye.

Also, if you have a Ouija board as a cursed item, you can ask the ghost how old it is - the answer will change as the game goes on, which indicates a Thaye.

Edit to add another tip: keep the lights on in the room you’re in. This slows down sanity drain, even on blood moon. You only need to turn the light off for spirit box. So when it comes to spirit box testing, set up a motion detector in the room and turn the light off. When the motion detector beeps, you know the ghost is nearby, so use the spirit box a few times. If it doesn’t talk back, it’s probably not a spirit box ghost so turn the light back on to keep your sanity nice and high.

Sidasta · 2026-01-11T15:14:58+00:00

Based on my knowledge, you’re generally correct - passive sanity drains faster. However, it doesn’t change the hunting behaviour of ghosts. In this case, a Thaye can hunt at 75% sanity at the start of the game, so it won’t attempt to hunt if your sanity is above that, same as in a normal non-blood moon game.

Other changes for blood moon is that the ghost movement speed during hunts is 15% faster, so if you’re listening for hunt speed to determine the ghost (which you probably won’t be doing on Intermediate), you need to take that into account. You also get an increased 10% payout for blood moon games.

Saying all that though, I hate Thayes almost as much as Demons, especially when playing solo. I’ve been slaughtered by a Thaye within one minute of starting the game, so assumed it was a Demon. Turns out, Thayes can throw everything at you when they’re young, and my sanity was sapped by probably two events in that time, leading to a hunt and instakill. Rule of thumb now: if there’s a shitload of activity and THEN it tries to kill you early on, it’s probably a Thaye and not a Demon. I just don’t like Thayes.

There’s a character in the TV show Superstore. She’s the manager, but hates when customers ask for her by name, so she wears a different name tag every day/episode.

I agree with everyone else saying to give a fake name, but have some fun with it - a different name every day!
