Can a Wraith walk through salt?

In the game Phasmophobia, Wraiths avoid stepping in salt and will not leave footprints, making undisturbed salt piles a key indicator for identifying them, though they can still disturb it during hunts or if forced through it, but won't leave the UV footprints other ghosts do. While it was once a primary way to spot them (no footprints), updates have made it more nuanced; Wraiths won't leave UV footprints even if they pass through, but other ghosts will, so an undisturbed pile is the definitive sign.
