The Ghost Writers are collectable characters in Yooka-Laylee. They are the original authors of the Grand Tomes, but have suffered a suspicious demise that left them cursed to wander their creations endlessly in search of salvation.

If Yooka and Laylee find all 5 Ghost Writers within a world, they will be rewarded with a single Pagie within the world you find them all in.

Name Origin

A "ghost writer" in real life is an author who writes some or all of a book, but allows another person to put their name on the book as the writer. The authors are also ghosts, giving the name a double meaning.

List of Ghost Writers

In each world, there are exactly five Ghost Writers to find, and collecting them all will unlock a Pagie. However, each Ghost Writer has a unique behavior that makes them more difficult to acquire.

• Normy, the Yellow Ghost Writer who does not move at all, and the easiest Ghost Writer to collect out of the five.
• Ann-Gree, the Red demon-like Ghost Writer who attacks the duo and needs to be attacked many times before being collected.
• Evie, the Green snake-like Ghost Writer who constantly floats away from the duo whenever the duo comes into its physical range.
• Heidi, the Blue cloaked Ghost Writer who is initially invisible, can be found with Laylee's Sonar Shot ability.
• Fee-Dee, the Pink large-mouthed Ghost Writer who needs to be fed either Frostberries or Bomberries.
