How to unlock the Ghost Stories achievement in Oxenfree - Definitive Guide
You can start to collect these as soon as you visit Harden Tower for the first time, but two of them require que WAL Radio, that you'll unlock during the story. Unlike the letters, there's not always an anomaly on every zone, and some of them will have two. So this is the list of the 12 anomalies:
NOTE: If the achievement doesn't unlock when it should, try this suggestion from Holzi91: "Hey, I justed wanted to add: sometimes this achievement does not unlock, when you find the last anomaly. In that case quit the game and start it again. The achievement should unlock during the start".
- Epiphany Field (2)
Under a lamppost, a little to the right of the lighthouse.

You can begin collecting the letters and finding the anomalies after you go back to Main Street and get the new radio that has more stations to search. Gaming Since Gaming has made a very simple to follow video guide for all the collectibles which you can watch below, which starts as soon as you get the new radio and takes you to the locations you'll need to progress the story as well.
Entering the bomb shelter is the point of no return, so you'll want to do all the collectibles before entering there.
Note: The anomaly in Towhee Woods is mislabled in the video and comments as 104.7. It is in actuality 103.5.
Scattered throughout the game you may notice rock piles – cairns – that indicate a spot where you should stand and use your radio to find a hidden frequency. There are 12 of them in the game.
Unlike the Adler letters, you can start collecting these whenever you come across them, but I recommend just waiting until you start collecting the Adler letters to start activating them, as you will be revisiting all the locations in the game anyways, and many of the cairns require the upgraded radio (found via story progression) to activate. It's just easier to wait.
