How to talk to ghosts in Phasmophobia

Phasmophobia is a spooky new early access game that you can play in standard and VR mode. This is a 4 player online co-op psychological horror game, so if you find yourself pretty unfazed by creepy things, then you might be ready to throw on the VR set and skulk around looking for ghosts. The premise of the game is that you are a ghost hunter, and are tasked to document the evidence of legitimate paranormal activity. This comes at your peril though, because the spooky things that reside in the dwellings that you will explore have the ability to take your life away from you!

Talking to Ghosts

To talk to ghosts in Phasmophobia, you have a few options available to you. One is to just talk and ask questions, you can do this via your microphone. Your mic is always open to the ghosts, so be careful when talking or making noise. Second, there's the Spirit Box, which is an item you can turn on and ask questions to when a ghost is nearby. Finally, there's the Ouija Board, interact with it to light it up, and talk into your mic to ask the ghost questions. If there is a ghost nearby, it will respond via the board.

We are going to be listing a bunch of the different questions that you can ask the ghosts in the lists below. Credit to Java on Steam for providing these useful lists!
