GameSpot’s guide explains how to use the equipment available in Phasmophobia to investigate ghosts and identify their type. The items matter because players must gather reliable evidence while managing danger, team co-ordination and limited time in haunted locations.

The guide is likely to cover core evidence tools such as the EMF Reader, Spirit Box, Ghost Writing Book, UV Light, D.O.T.S. Projector and video equipment, alongside survival and utility items including crucifixes, smudge sticks, thermometers and sound sensors. Each item has a specific role: detecting paranormal activity, confirming evidence, locating the ghost room or reducing the risk of a hunt.
