Phasmophobia Ghost List
Welcome to our Phasmophobia Ghost List guide. This guide will show you ghost names and the evidence corresponding to them in the game.
How to Identify Ghosts
Your main mission in Phasmophobia is to identify what type of Ghost is haunting the location you are in. Each Ghost is linked to three types of Evidence – EMF Level 5, Fingerprints, Freezing Temperatures, Ghost Orb, Ghost Writing, and Spirit Box – and these are key to figuring out which Ghost is present.
As you confirm each type of Evidence, make sure to record it in your Journal. As you enter the Evidence types, it will automatically narrow down the Ghost Types, making it easier to determine which one it is.
We’ve made a handy table that can help you determine exactly which Ghost may be haunting a particular location.
