I think i know what you're asking about, and surviving these encounters is quite interesting because of how unique this ghost's behavior is (it actually tracks you differently than other types). You'll want to completely forget about hiding spots, since this ghost will always know where you are - this is actually by design to create a different kind of chase dynamic.

The key here is understanding its movement patterns, because that's what makes survival possible. When it gets within about 6 meters of you, it'll slow down dramatically (this is the ghost's main weakness), so you can actually loop around large objects like tables or cars to keep your distance. Think of it like a game of cat and mouse, where you're actually safer when it's closer to you, which is pretty counterintuitive.

Something really helpful to know is that you can identify this ghost early by listening for distinctive heavy breathing through the spirit box, and it tends to start hunting below 40% sanity. I'd suggest always having smudge sticks ready (they're lifesavers if you get cornered), and try to stay in open areas where you can move freely. Avoiding small spaces is crucial, because getting trapped is basically a death sentence with this one. Maybe interesting - the ghost moves at different speeds depending on distance: pretty quick at 3 m/s when far away, but super slow at 0.4 m/s when close, which is why the looping strategy works so well.
