Most Dangerous Ghost In Phasmophobia

This article is about the different types of ghosts you tin can encounter. For information involving ghost activity, see Ghost Activeness.

Ghosts are the main focus of Phasmophobia. Each ghost will have a set of unique characteristics, including personal identifiers, abilities, and evidences. Players must investigate some of these aspects to correctly identify the ghost. The ghost can interact with its surroundings or cause ghost events, and fifty-fifty attempt to impale the player past initiating hunts.

Behaviour

Each contract, 1 ghost will spawn within the map in a selected ghost room. The ghost will accept a randomly-generated unique identity consisting of type of ghost, gender, name, age, length of death, personality (shyness), ghost room and a physical model that is determined at the beginning of the contract. Most of its general behaviour (such as motion, hunting patterns, activity etc.) is based on the blazon of ghost, except for its willingness to respond to the spirit box in the presence of multiple people in the room, which is randomly determined.

Afterward an leave door is opened for the first time, the ghost volition be "activated" and be able to interact with the environment or the histrion. The ghost may stay still, roam or walk to another identify, interact with objects and doors, use its abilities, and initiate ghost events or hunts. Ghosts cannot exit the investigation area; they cannot walk out of the get out doors even if they are wide open up.

It is important to note that certain phenomena often are generally non express to one single blazon of ghost. For instance, all ghosts can throw objects effectually in a room, manipulate doors, make Dirty H2o appear in sinks, and present itself in any form. However, certain ghosts are more than likely to showroom certain behaviours than others, or have unique abilities. For example, a Poltergeist will be more likely to throw objects and can throw several at once. Too, no singular ghost model is tied to any blazon of ghost, meaning that their appearance should not exist used to estimate the type of ghost.

When a ghost manifests during a ghost outcome or in a chase, it volition produce footsteps and a "vocalism", that for most ghosts tin exist heard past players within a 20 meter radius. If a player is within ten meters of the ghost while having at least one tracking point visible to the ghost,^{[ verify ]} heartbeats can also be heard. Note that this does not correlate with bodily line-of-sight. Electronic equipment, such as flashlights and global chat, will malfunction within a 10 meter radius for virtually ghosts. A ghost tin can be fully visible, announced every bit a shadow, or take a jelly/water-like appearance. Ghosts will appear in simply its full form during hunts. Footsteps will too be heard when the ghost has manifested and is walking.

As of 0.6, at that place are at to the lowest degree viii male person and five female person sounds produced by the ghosts during manifestations. In that location may exist more that are not listed here:

For males:

Male person "decease rattle" (raspy gurgling) which is a semitone lower than the original;
A heavy moaning sound typical to zombies;
3 variants of breathing sounds: one deep (almost horn-like), another heavy and another one accompanied by words like "help me", "run", etc.;
Two variants of growling-croaking: one very low and tubular, another echoing.

For females:

Female "decease rattle" (raspy gurgling) which is a semitone college than the original;
Two variants of the ghost humming certain tunes;
A choking and wheezing sound reminiscent of someone's heavy coughing;
A weeping sound;
Child-like laughter.

Every contract, the ghost gets a random only specific hunting sound. In every following hunt it will apply the very same sound once again. Remembering this sound from a erstwhile hunt can help the histrion tell a hunt apart from a ghost event.

The table to a higher place tin can exist sorted by any cavalcade. It can then be sorted past a second column without making the first column get out of guild (past holding downwardly the shift key). This extends to consecutively sorting iii or more columns.

Random characteristics

Spirit box responsiveness

If the ghost is indicated to respond but to "people who are alone", the ghost will but respond to the Spirit Box if there is only one player in the room when the question is asked. A ghost which responds to everyone means that the number of people in the room does non affect its ability to reply. This characteristic is not indicated on Professional and Nightmare difficulties. This characteristic is only relevant for ghosts with the Spirit Box evidence, and is not synonymous with ghost activity.
