Summary

There are 24 ghost types in Phasmophobia, each with its own unique characteristics and behaviors. Below is a table summarizing each ghost type, including their name, journal evidence , movement speed, sanity threshold, and tell tail signs to look out for during an investigation.

NOTE: -
Evidence in bold is forced evidence for that ghost type - meaning in modes where evidence is limited (like nightmare and insanity), this ghost will have to produce that evidence. If the ghost doesn't produce that evidence when at least one evidence is mandiitory, you can rule that ghost type out. (With the exception of The Mimic, which can fake evidence).

Info in bold is crucial information - it's a tell-tale sign to let you know you have that ghost type.

NAME	EVIDENCE	SPEED	SANITY THRESHOLD	INFO
Spirit	EMF 5 Spirit Box Ghost Writing	1.7m/s (normal)	50%	When incensing the ghost in a hunt, it takes 3 minutes to hunt again.
Wraith	EMF 5 Spirit Box D.O.T.S	1.7m/s (normal)	50%	Can teleport to a player (roaming ghost) and will leave EMF 2 or EMF 5 at the point where it teleported. Will never step in salt.
Phantom	Spirit Box D.O.T.S UV	1.7m/s (normal)	50%	Can roam to any player (roaming ghost). Won't show up in photos. Has a slow blinking pattern during hunts, sometimes dissapearing for 2 seconds - it'll be hard to track during hunts.
Poltergeist	Ghost Writing Spirit Box UV	1.7m/s (normal)	50%	Has an 100% chance to throw an object every 0.5s, if there is one available. Also throws harder than all other ghosts (throwing hardness is 2 - 7 rather than 1 - 3 for all other ghosts).
Banshee	UV Freezing Temps D.O.T.S	1.7m/s (normal)	50%	Usually roams to one player in pertucular (roaming ghost) Will target one player during a hunt and will ignore all other players in the house until that player is dead. Also has a unqiue scream heard on a sound recorder and parabolic microphone.
Jinn	EMF 5 UV Freezing Temps	1.7m/s (normal)	50%	Will never turn the breaker off. If the breaker is on during a hunt and the closest player is in LOS (line of sight) over 3 meters away, will speed up to 3.0m/s temporarily until within 3 meters of the player. Be warned the jinn can build up normal LOS speed in this time so may come across as a fast ghost accidentally!
Mare	Ghost Orbs Spirit Box Ghost Writing	1.7m/s (normal)	60% / 40%	Will never turn a light on. Higher hunt sanity threshold when the light in it's room is off. Has a chance to immediately turn a light off when you turn it on and will often leave a room if you turn the light on.
Revenant	Ghost Obrs Freezing Temps Ghost Writing	1.0m/s - 3.0m/s (fast)	50%	No LOS speedup. 1.0m/s when a player's location is unknown, 3.0m/s when it knows where a player is - not necessarily when in LOS.
Shade	EMF 5 Freezing Temps Ghost Writing	1.7m/s (normal)	35%	Will not hunt if a player is in the same room, no matter what the average sanity is. Cannot preform singing events. If summoned by summoning circle, has a high chance to appear as a black shadow or "shady". Cannot produce evidence when a player is in the same room. Can appear to have "interacted" with evidence the same room but might have been outside the room but within range of evidence.
Demon	UV Freezing Temps Ghost Writing	1.7m/s (normal)	70%	Can hunt every 20s instead of the usualy 25s and smudge repel time is 60s instead of 90s.

Yokai	Ghost Orbs Sprit Box D.O.T.S	1.7m/s (normal)	80% / 50%	Higher hunt threshold when players are talking in its ghost room. Detection range for electronics is 2.5m instead of 5 for other ghosts.
Hantu	Freezing Temps Ghost Orbs UV	1.4m/s - 2.7m/s (fast)	50%	Will never turn on the breaker. No LOS speedup. When breaker is off, has visible freezing breath. Speed is dependant on the temperature of the room it's in, the colder the room, that faster it is. If a ghost is wandering around getting faster and slower around ut's ghost room, it's likely a hantu.
Goryo	D.O.T.S EMF 5 UV	1.7m/s (normal)	50%	Cannot switch favourite rooms. Has a unique D.O.T.S ability, can only show D.O.T.S on a video camera and when all players are out of it's favourite room. If you see a D.O.T.S event in person then it is not a goryo.
Myling	EMF 5 UV Ghost Writing	1.7m/s (normal)	50%	Footsteps can only be heard from 12m away (same range as electronic distubance). If you hear objects being thrown and no footsteps, it's likely a myling. Only valid when you are on the same floor as this ghost.
Onryo	Ghost Orbs Freezing Temps Spirit Box	1.7m/s (normal)	60%	The only ghost that cannot light a flame. Cannot start a hunt within 4m of a lit flame (same radius as Tier 2 crucifix). Because of this, will blow out lit flames often.
