The GTA Online Ghosts Exposed photo task is delivered via email when you connect to the online world, after which you need to seek out evidence of a paranormal presence in Blaine County by documenting the various spectres that have started appearing there. This ties in to the GTA Online Halloween event happening in 2023, but without preparation you're unlikely to encounter any of these spooks at random as they're only visible for a short time each night in specific places. To help you out with this, I've tracked down all of the GTA Online ghost locations along with their individual appearance times, so you can capture every one them and claim your rewards.
Keep an eye out for GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns while photographing these ghosts, as there are additional rewards available for collecting them.

There are total of ten ghouls you need to photograph to complete the GTA Online Ghosts Exposed event, which appear at the locations marked on the map above. Each ghost only appears for one hour per in-game day at the times listed, and there are two possible spawn locations for each ghost – but they are both close to each other. You need to document the first nine spectres before the final ghost, Johnny Klebitz of The Lost, will materialize in Sandy Shores.
How to photograph ghosts in GTA Online
Once you've reached a GTA Online ghost location at the required time, you'll hear haunting sounds and the apparition will appear – if you get too close it will vanish, but back off a short distance and it should respawn. Now you need to open the Snapmatic app on your phone, which you can access quickly if you double-tap up on the d-pad, or just select from the menu. Take a photograph of the ghost and it will automatically be submitted to Ghosts Exposed, providing a notification of how many you've collected so far. When you reach Johnny Klebitz, the final ghost, wait around before snapping away if you have the time and you'll hear him calling out to Trevor from beyond the grave.
GTA Online Ghosts Exposed rewards
For every GTA Online Ghosts Exposed photograph you capture, you'll receive GTA$20,000 and 500 RP, plus a bonus GTA$50,000 for submitting all ten, meaning there's a total of GTA$250,000 and 5,000 RP up for grabs if you complete this assignment. More importantly, you'll also unlock the Ghosts Exposed livery for the Albany Brigham, which combined with the stock 'growling cat' horn will basically turn that vehicle into the Ectomobile from Ghostbusters 2.
