Ghost vanish/reappear vs barricade

By BmlCom, in Mansions of Madness

Ghost (Mabel) was in the Nurcery, the app tells me that she vanishes and reappears with the following text to move ghost to the nearest space in range with an investigator. So I think the barricade didn't help anymore and we have to move her to Hall Corner 2. Is this correct or did the barricade block (dice roll)? She only has a brawn of 1.

I don't think the barricade factors into it at all:

The app says: " to move ghost to the nearest space in range with an investigator "

If she was in the nursery, there are no investigators in range since doors block range. You would select no investigators in range in the app.

Quote
  • When an investigator, monster, or token is moved to a specific space, it is removed from the board and placed in the specified space. It does not move through any spaces between its original space and its destination.

    It moves to the specified space even if doing so would normally require moving through impassable borders, walls, or blocked doors.

p. 13 Rules Reference is pretty clear. But as said, "range" is blocked by doors and walls.

Let me add the exact text the App gave me:

Mabel (ghost) calls out, but there is no one to hear her. She vanishes and reappears elsewhere. Mabel moves to the nearest space within range of an investigator.

Ok, the ghost started where the sledgehammer is? The ghost can move through walls, so the nearest spaces would be the three to the west, north and east (assuming "up" is "north"). Both the west and the north spaces are within range of an investigator. The ghost could move into either one, players can decide which.

But thats not what the OP said it said. Its says to move to the nearest space in range with an investigator. Not to the nearest space that is in range of an investigator.

Correct, that is not what was said in the first posting. But the actual instruction from the app that was posted later reads quite differently.

Yeah, I missed that, you are right.
