How to hunt a Mare in Phasmophobia

There's nothing quite like a bad dream to put you on edge for the day. Trying to hunt a Mare in Phasmophobia may end up doing the same since the folklore behind the spirit brought about the origin of the word 'nightmare'. As you do with most ghosts in Phasmophobia, to hunt a Mare requires you to find evidence by watching for the spirit's behavior. There are three pieces of evidence to gather, but you'll have an easier time by hunting the Mare in the right conditions. Oh, did I say easier? Sorry, what I meant to say was that this is going to get a bit dicey.
