Phasmophobia

Gaming

I was gifted this wonderful game by my friend Dawson. Thanks man! What an amazing game.

Now, not much scares me. Things that probably should, don't. Which means that this game is pretty fun for me. Until I 'invest' a lot of game-money in equipment. Then I worry about losing the equipment when I die.

The following are some tips and tricks I have been working on to try to determine the ghost type, while lacking specific evidence. I am trying to list the Official Evidence in an order that seems to be from easiest to obtain, to hardest, for that specific ghost. The Personality is also being listed, so we can figure it out based on how it acts.

Freezing Temp Ghosts:

Yurei



A Yurei is a Ghost that has returned to the physical world, usually for the purpose of revenge or hatred

Unique Strengths: Yurei’s have been known to have a stronger effect on people’s sanity.

Weaknesses: Smudging the Yurei’s room will cause it to not wander around the location for a long time.

Findings:Yurei's will cause you to go insane very quickly if you are near it. You don't even have to look at it. They are sometimes stubborn and refuse to write in the book, but that, and Orbs, along with freezing temps, is their main calling card. They are not shy, and seem to respond best when everyone is together with them. They like dirty water and throwing stuff.

Personality:Likes Everyone together

Official Evidence: Freezing Temps., Orbs, Ghost Writing.

Mare



A Mare is the source of all nightmares, making it most powerful in the dark.

Unique Strengths: A Mare will have an increased chance to attack in the dark.

Weaknesses: Turning the lights on around the Mare will lower it’s chance to attack.

Findings:

Personality: ?

Official Evidence: Freezing Temperatures, Ghost Orb, Spirit Box.?

Phantom



A phantom ghost can possess the living, and most commonly summoned through an Ouija Board. It also includes fear into those around it.

Unique Strengths: Looking at a Phantom will considerably drop your sanity.

Weaknesses: Taking a photo of the Phantom will make it temporarily disappear.

Findings: This ghost has a small orb which usually doesn't travel too much.

Personality: Likes everyone

Official Evidence: Freezing Temperatures, EMF Level 5, Ghost Orb is usually harder to see.

Banshee



These ghosts are natural hunters who love to stalk it’s prey one at a time making its kill. Banshee will attack anything that comes in its way.

Unique Strengths: Will target one person at a time.

Weaknesses: Fears crucifix and will be less aggressive near one.

Findings: The Freezing Temperatures aren't always evident. This ghost roams a lot, and will leave fingerprints on doors and windows outside and away from it's room. Motion Tracking Suggested.

Personality: Likes to be alone.

Official Evidence: EMF level 5, Fingerprints, and Freezing Temperatures.

Wraith



They are some of the most dangerous ghosts you will find. They are the only ghosts who can travel through walls and has the ability to fight.

Unique Strengths: They never touch the ground, so they can’t be tracked by footsteps.

Weaknesses: Wraiths have a toxic reaction to salt.

Findings: These quick ghosts are very dangerous, and spike to level 10 unpredictably and without much warning. While Salt is Toxic, it doesn't mean that they can't step in it. They sometimes do still step in Salt which can lead someone to mistake a Wraith for a Banshee. It is undetermined if the Toxic reaction, means that they are hurt by the Salt, or if it angers them and makes them more active. But being that it is listed officially as a Weakness, I would imagine that it hurts them and repels them somewhat. However a Phasmophobia discord moderation said the following: "Salt helps to antagonize the wraith, causing more ghost activity, which will eventually help you get more out of it."

Personality: Likes Everyone, Or Alone

Official Evidence: Freezing Temperature, Fingerprints (usually higher or on Windows), Spirit Box.

Non-Freezing Temp Ghosts:

Spirit



These are the most common ghosts you will come across but still they are powerful and dangerous. You can usually discover them at one of their hunting grounds after an unexplained death.

The most famous ghost Poltergeist known to be a noisemaker by manipulating objects around them to instill fear among its victims.

Troubleshooting for Evidence:



If you have the following pieces of evidence, you will need to search for the following forms of evidence to find your answer.

Fingerprints, Ghost Writing = EMF 5+, or Spirit Box
Fingerprints, Freezing Temps. = EMF 5+, or Spirit Box
Fingerprints, Spirit Box = Freezing Temps, Ghost Orbs, or Ghost Writing
Freezing Temps, Ghost Orbs = Ghost Writing, Spirit Box, and EMF 5+
Freezing Temps, Ghost Writing = Ghost Orbs, or Spirit Box
