I was just trying out the mission set in the sorority house, with the 3 witches. I scared everyone away except for one witch. Her terror was totally full but she was just stood outside the house, holding up a red object in front of her face. Does anyone know what's going on? I've heard that characters can just freeze, but is this meant to happen?? Here's a picture to show you what I mean.....  |

Its the "Fire extingisher" bug James. It happened to me a couple of times on Unusual Suspects, where a character would pick up an extingisher during a fire and then freeze with the item in its hand and then refuse to move. If this happens and the character does not move for the next 4 minutes then its been frozen and locked by the bug. Apparently according to blue circle you can cancel this effect if you have a ghost with possession in your group - I thought it would be a good idea to add a seperate Gaming Issues thread to technical support (stickied but unlocked) and put it in there  |

Thanks David, wow that's a pretty strange bug.
I hope they come up with a patch to fix this, because I don't think my PC likes this mission. Today this happened, and yesterday the game crashed (for the first time) to the desktop. I haven't had any other problems with the game except this.

Happened several times to me as well in unusual suspects..it was a real pain as it was towards the end and ruined my chances of getting the golden pumpkin  In the end I powered down all the haunters and the offenders left but it was a bore ..there is as already said a bug in the fire extinguishers |

Well it's good to know it's not just my PC, even if it is a bug.  |

Oh man! I just tried a Possesion skill on a frozen guy. And he moved again! If I knew this earlier, I would have completed the level with the three witches days before! Thanks!
