Banshee

Banshee is one of the most dangerous ghosts you can encounter in Phasmophobia. The Banshees are famous for stalking their prey until they eliminate it.

2. Strengths: The Banshee focuses its attention on only one target and will attack it in each phase of the hunt until the victim is eliminated. Then, it chooses a different target;
3. Weaknesses: this spirit is much more afraid of the Crucifix than other spirits. The effective range of Crucifix against the Banshee is increased from 3 to as much as 5 meters;
4. Evidence: Freezing Temperatures, Fingerprints, EMF level 5.

Demon

Demons are some of the most aggressive ghosts that you can meet in Phasmophobia. They attack much more often than other ghosts and usually without warning, forcing players to hide frequently.

1. Powers: very high aggressiveness;
2. Strengths: Demons attack much more often than other spirits and need no encouragement to do so;
3. Weaknesses: if you ask the right questions and get an answer while using the Ouija Board, the character's Sanity will not be compromised;

Jinn

Jinn is one of the ghosts that you can encounter when completing missions in Phasmophobia. He will attack only when his territory is breached and he feels threatened.

3. Weaknesses: power outage will prevent Jinn from using power and manipulating electrical devices;

2. Strengths: attacks characters with low Sanity, can initiate hunting in short intervals;
3. Weaknesses: turning the light on reduces its chance to attack;

Oni

They are one of the most aggressive types of ghosts that you can meet in Phasmophobia. Unlike shy Shades, they become much more active and aggressive the moment they encounter more hunters.

1. Powers: extraordinary strength allows them to throw objects;
2. Strengths: they become extremely active when they encounter a group of hunters, which may force players to split up;
3. Weaknesses: their high activity makes Oni easy to identify;

Phantom

Phantoms are known to possess humans, but this is not possible in Phasmophobia. However, it is worth noting the fact that the Phantom can take the form of one of the members of the group, and looking at him quickly reduces the Sanity level.

1. Powers: Phantom can take the form of any team member and change it every time he appears;
2. Strengths: looking directly at The Phantom quickly lowers the character's Sanity level.
3. Weaknesses: taking a picture of a Phantom stops it from attacking for a while and makes the ghost disappear (does not work during the hunting phase);

Poltergeist

Phasmophobia couldn't have gone without one of the most famous ghosts - a Poltergeist. This noisy spirit can manipulate various objects to instill fear in the hearts of hunters.

2. Strengths: Poltergeist can make a lot of noise, e.g. slam two doors at once;
3. Weaknesses: when a Poltergeist is in an empty room he cannot manipulate objects and thus becomes ineffective;
4. Evidence: Fingerprints, Ghost Orb, Spirit Box.

Revenant

Revenant is one of the types of ghosts found in Phasmophobia. He may not be one of the most effective spirits, but he can often change targets during the hunting phase, causing panic among a group of hunters and effectively making it difficult for them to complete their task.

1. Powers: Revenant spirit moves faster when hunting;
2. Strengths: can freely change its targets during the hunting phase and often jumps to the player who is in the nearest distance, which makes no one feel safe;
3. Weaknesses: hiding from this ghost will make it move much slower;
4. Evidence: EMF level 5, Fingerprints, Ghost Writing.

Shade

Shade is another type of ghost you may encounter in Phasmophobia. Shades are shy spirits and their activity is lower when faced with a larger number of hunters. They attack at a time when the Sanity level of your character significantly deviates from the normal level.

2. Strengths: the shyness of this spirit contributes to the fact that it is difficult to detect its activity;
3. Weaknesses: you can limit Shade's activity by staying in a group;
4. Evidence: Ghost Writing, EMF level 5, Ghost Orb.

2. Strengths: lack of distinctive traits makes it difficult to identify;
3. Weaknesses: Smudge Sticks;
4. Evidence: Spirit Box, Fingerprints, Ghost Writing.

3. Weaknesses: sensitivity to Salt;
4. Evidence: Fingerprints, Freezing Temperatures, Spirit Box.

Yurei is an unusual spirit, but nevertheless extremely dangerous. Despite the fact that he does not manipulate objects and can not quickly reach his victim, he constantly lowers the Sanity level of all hunters.

1. Powers: drains the mental health of all characters;
2. Strengths: extremely strong effect on Sanity levels of hunters makes it possible to initiate hunting more often;
