Kojima tries to scan a ghost 👻 but gets haunting in the studio.

I found this story quite funny after reading about his studio going to places to scan and capture the environment and hoping to scan a “Ghost” into the game, This resulted in hauntings in the studio.

Not sure if scanners can see into the supernatural spectrum but later Kojima in the interview said that Microsoft and the team went to a shirne to ward of any other supernatural happenings in the studio.

Anw he hopes to be a first game director to scan a ghost into his game.
