Phasmophobia ghost trigger words and phrases

Phasmophobia is a dream come true ghost-hunting game, and what makes it even more fun is the fact that you can speak to ghosts. There are various ways to speak to ghosts, from speaking in your mic to using the dedicated Spirit Box.

However, it's hard to figure out what to say to the ghost. In the tutorial, the game only teaches you one phrase, and you have to figure out the rest of them on your own. If you're looking to get a reaction from a ghost, use any of the phrases below.
