Ghost Killer Idea
okay i'm sure this idea has been pitched in some way shape or form many ideas, but i just recently started playing so idk whats going on! i was just having a conversation about cool killer ideas, and i brought up a literal ghost, since there's so many horror movies about them.
imagine its natural form is like a normal human, maybe dressed like they're from the 1800's or something, maybe some bloody wound. could do something similar to spirit and have some form of phasing while wandering around. and one of its powers is some kind of lurking ability, undetectable and just like a shadow or something visible but not super visible. and when its in this lurking ability, random things happen around the map to spook the survivors. total paranoia like lockers opening, footsteps (like during chucky's ability), maybe some weird sounds. my bf even brought up like fake injured survivors that aren't actually there or real & something could happen if you fall for it and try to heal it. it could be cool too to do something similar to dredge, when the ghost is in its ability there's some scary/spooky noises and maybe darker. the mori could be like the survivor is getting possessed with like bones snapping and like shooting something from the ghosts mouth to the survivor. maybe a grab animation of the survivor having a ghost leach onto them (like in the conjuring).
idk i know this is a lot, we were just going back and forth for a minute about how this killer could be so cool and spooky!
