To get a ghost quest you require a Migrant with the Diplomat trait. The trait should be ''natural'' meaning it wasn't added by life satisfaction points. (Also a child with a ''natural'' diplomat trait can't summon a ghost in his life, Start Migrants can however!)








.

The most important step: Save before offering the asked items!
(This is so important because there are 2 types of ghosts and you want to get the blue one (friendly one) because he is the only ghost that can join your village.) After you saved, ''sacrifice'' the required items. To get a ghost you require a blue ghost. (Friendly ghost) So reload the save if its a red one (Evil ghost).


Will attack your villagers and once defeated give the summoner (the migrant who started the quest) a permanent Mood boost (4+) Disclaimer: Evil ghosts can't join your village!


Will just roam around, until talked to.

What worked for me:

All these steps were done with the the Summoner (Migrant that summoned the ghost).

1. Talk to the ghost ONCE with the summoner. (If you talk with the ghost to much, the ghost will leave in the end)
2. Wait until the quest says Its time to say goodbye. Then talk with the ghost.

If you did these steps correct you should get a message saying the ghost joined your village.
