[[File:Ghost Hunter career icon.png|left]]The '''ghost hunter''' [[profession]] is introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''. [[Sim]]s use various machines to trap or ward off [[ghost]]s, similar to the ''[[Wikipedia:Ghostbusters|Ghostbusters]]'' film franchise, and the Nintendo GameCube game, ''[[Wikipedia:Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]]

Ghosts and lesser spirits will randomly appear in occupied houses around [[neighborhood]]s. These ghosts range from small, floating cartoon ghosts to regular Sim ghosts. [http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/the-sims-3-new-expansion-pack-gets-ambitious/]
Ghost hunters must deal with several different types of investigations and paranormal activity in order to advance.
==Types of
===Lesser
Lesser spirits are the weakest form of paranormal activity. Lesser spirits resemble wispy Halloween ghosts. They come in many colors, which represent their personality. Certain personalities are more valuable than others. For example, white spirits (who have a friendly personality) aren't worth much to researchers while orange spirits (who are wrathful) are worth more.

Lesser
The player's Sim can also try to collect spirits from any places at any time using the Spook-O-Meter to make them visible, which apparitions should have been detected by Spirit Positioning Device. (To get the Spook-o-Meter
===Poltergeists===
Poltergeists possess random objects, causing them to move and fly around. Poltergeists are not very powerful, but they are stronger than lesser spirits.
===Ghosts===
Occasionally, ghost hunters may encounter ghosts from past civilizations. These ghosts are worth more money when sold to the [[science lab]].
==Types of
===Spirit
Spirit
===Paranormal
Occasionally, a ghost hunter will be asked to investigate a random [[rabbit hole]]. The ghost hunter need only enter the venue and stay for a few hours to complete this investigation.
===Poltergeist
During a poltergeist haunting, the ghost hunter must exorcise furniture that is being possessed by poltergeists.
If
If they swipe a possessed object, it will no longer be haunted after it has been placed into their inventory, even if it is later returned in the mail. However, this cleansing will not count towards the required exorcism count, rendering the mission incompleteable. There is a chance that this same mission will now be offered every future evening. The (incomplete) progress will be saved, rendering this particular exorcism mission permanently incompleteable.
===Ghostly
During this investigation, ghost hunters must find and remove a full bodied ghost. To find the ghost, the ghost hunter must scan rooms of the house with the Spook-O-Meter (similar to the Ghostbuster's PKE Meter). After the ghost has been located, the ghost hunter can attempt to capture it. Alternatively, the ghost hunter may befriend the ghost and convince them to pass on.
===Angry
This is similar to the previous job, but ghosts are visible from the start. They are scaring
Apart from that, this job is the same as above. Actually it is easier, as the ghost hunter doesn't have to spend time searching them.
