    This guide was originally posted by Stevivor on the original Ghostbuster's game Back Off Man. I'm A Scientist achievement.

    Full credit on this goes to Hawk199 on xbox360achievements.org, except for this pearl of wisdom: You can load up the checkpoint, scan the ghost, and then quit without needing to go to another checkpoint. You'll still have the ghost in your guide!

    * The Sub-Chapters aren't the only ones where u can scan the ghost within the chapter but the best place to scan them
    * The Ghost scan are in 'encounter' Order and some ghost are repeated.
    * Important note - Must have Spirit Guide Update to get a confirm scan
    * A ghost will still show up in your spirit guide even if you don't have a 100% scan. Basically if you are missing a ghost, check the info page about it. If there is anything listed as "unknown" then you have not done a complete scan. Once the Tobin's Spirit Guide entry is entirely filled out, you have 100% scanned that entity.
    * Only ghost that was any kind of trouble was the "Kitchen Flier". Basically run around willy nilly with your PKE Meter and take scans of pots/pans.

    Gram101216Black slime portal is the one I missed following the original walk-through guide

    ChucklestyleThe spirit guide is not an accurate tracker for this, as just defeating an enemy unlocks its entry. I had to go chapter by chapter (the mission select at least has a # of scans), starting with the must scan entries. Great guide, I was able to snipe what I needed.

    Crater BobHeads-up for the Candelabrum Crawler, there's the initial scan when it's on the wall between the two elevators, but it's the scan you can get after it's fully-spawned off the wall in spider-form that counts towards the counter and the achievement.
