How to use the Spirit Box in Phasmophobia

In Phasmophobia, a spirit box is a tool that allows the player to communicate with the dead. We've got all the information for how and where to use it. 

How to use the Spirit Box in Phasmophobia

To use the Spirit Box in Phasmophobia, you will need to right-click with your mouse and be inside a room where there is a ghost or one you suspect. You will also need to turn off all of the lights (flashlights/glowsticks/UVs don't count) and then proceed to ask three types of questions.

Along with this, you can also throw the spirit box on the ground and have it still work as long as it is left on and you are using proximity chat at least three meters near it. After this, you will then need to speak a select few phrases to get a response from the ghost. If you don't get a response, you may need to be the only person in the room.

However, keep in mind that it may take a few tries as Phasmophobia's voice recognition can be a little buggy at times. Sometimes you may also get a nothing-detected popup; this means the game heard your voice, but the ghost is either too far from you or refused to talk back. If this should happen to you, simply proceed to a new area of the building or house you are in and try again. 

That said, below are all of the questions that you can ask ghosts in Phasmophobia.

The following are all questions the player can use to determine where the ghost is inside a specific room, its age, and more; If you are near a ghost, it will give you an answer indicating where it is or how old it is, and even it's current mood.

However, the ghost may also not respond at all, and if this happens wait a few seconds and then try again.
