If you get lucky, you can find the ghost room AND get your first piece of evidence fast!
This is why I often use the video camera’s night vision feature instead of the flashlight while searching for the ghost room in Phasmophobia—especially on the smaller house maps (Tanglewood, Willow, Edgefield, Grafton, etc.): If the ghost is quiet, there’s still a good chance of catching a stray ghost orb during the initial sweep.
About half of the current ghost line-up creates ghost orbs.

Dude, one time me and some pals found the ghost room instantly
We were on Willow, walked in the front door and the ghost immediately messed with it, tripping my EMF.
Lady Luck was on our side haha.
Not all ghosts have orbs though
While playing Tanglewood with a couple of buddies I walked into the house turn to the left headed into the boys bedroom at the beginning of the house, and the ghost showed himself there manifesting in a shadowy form. Then I relayed back to my teammates "that was easy" XD 😂
My strat is to walk in and start talking shit to the ghost
One time my cousin found the ghost room before we even entered Tanglewood, by looking through the window of the boys bedroom with a camera and saw orbs lol.
