Interacting with ghosts is a task that comes up fairly often in challenge modes, so it’s a task you should try to get familiar with if you’re hoping to tackle them all. If you’re not sure how to initiate this process, here’s how to summon a ghost in BitLife.

How to Find a Ghost in BitLife

Ghosts can only be found inside Haunted Houses in BitLife. There are many different properties that you may come across that qualify, including buildings like:

  • Haunted Folly Castle Home
  • Haunted Colonial Home
  • Haunted Farm
  • Haunted Ranch
  • Haunted Trailer
  • Haunted Villa
  • Haunted Victorian Home
  • Haunted Mansion
  • Haunted Row House

Any home that has the word “haunted” in the title contains ghosts, so there are plenty to choose from. Your first goal is to find and move into any Haunted House. Browse the available options until you find one you can buy. There may not be a Haunted House available right away, so if there isn’t, you’ll need to close and reopen the BitLife app a few times to refresh your options or keep aging up to get new ones. You’ll eventually find one, so just keep at it until you do.

How Do You Summon a Ghost in BitLife?

You can summon a ghost in BitLife by selecting the Summon option under the Spirits page in a Haunted House. It’s a bit of a tricky process to navigate, so here’s a full step-by-step breakdown of how to get it done.

  • Purchase a Haunted House. Ghosts cannot be found in regular buildings, so you must buy a Haunted House to interact with them. Any home that has the word “haunted” in the title works.
  • Navigate to the Assets page. Look for the money bag icon directly to the left of the age-up button.
  • Locate your Haunted House. Scroll through your Assets until you spot your haunted property, then click on it.
  • Find the Spirits section. After clicking on your Haunted House, you’ll see several unique options. Look for the one labeled Spirits, and click it.
  • Select the Summon option. Under the Spirits category, select the Summon option on any ghost.
  • Repeat this process until a ghost is summoned. Some ghosts are easier to summon than others, so a ghost might not be summoned on the first try, which means you may need to repeat these steps until it finally works.

Interacting with ghosts is crucial for a few different BitLife challenges, including the Humbug challenge and Mistress of the Dark, so you’re now much better equipped to face them. There are plenty of other tricky trials you can tackle after this one, like becoming a painterwriting a best-selling book, and becoming a famous model.
