What is a Ghost Event in Phasmophobia?

If we put it simply, Ghost Events are a type of paranormal activity in Phasmophobia. However, there is a huge difference between interaction and an event.

  • A ball of smoke
  • Singing or humming
  • Ghost Standing Still
  • Visually Manifesting
  • Lights Turn Off
  • Hissing Sounds
  • The lights go red
  • Watching Shadows or Translucent Silhouettes

How to Witness a Ghost Event

You will witness a Ghost Event while you are completing your mission. However, there are a few factors of course that influence this. Here’s how to witness a Ghost Event in Phasmophobia:

  • If one of the players comes within 10 meters of the ghost while in the investigation area.
  • While drawing a card from the deck of Tarot Cards, if you draw The Devil card, you will witness a Ghost Event.
  • If no Ghost Events are triggered, then you will witness one at random.
  • You can also use the Summoning Circle and summon a Ghost. But be warned that instead of just witnessing the Ghost Event you might have a Cursed Hunt on your hands.
  • Lastly, a Music Box can also be used to witness a Ghost Event. However, the catch is that the ghost must be within 5 meters of an actively playing music box.
