HOW TO USE A PARABOLIC MICROPHONE – PHASMOPHOBIA

A video in which I explain how a parabolic microphone works and how you can find ghosts with it!

Remember you are looking for a room with consistent noise around you in all directions. This equipment needs ghost activity to trigger sound level responses so it might be difficult to find anything on the mic during set up phase on amateur or intermediate difficulties. be sure to follow me and subscribe on youtube for updates!

  1. Hewwo! Found your videos on Phasmophobia (like many it seems xD) and I really like them! They are not "professional" but still really good quality! I like your cutting, your written tips, your audio! Everything is really good and enjoyable!
    Just wanted to let you know! <3

    Is it possible that the microphone show the distance to the sound-source? (or at least it's suppose to)
    When you're not in the room it shows high numbers and if you are it shows low numbers? Probably just bugged tbh, but maybe it actually is suppose to show distance

  3. These tutorials are extremely helpful, thank you! It's a shame the parabolic microphone is crap, because I love the feel of swinging it around in VR – it is pretty iconic as ghost-hunting equipment goes.

    It would be really helpful to have a tutorial/general tips on how to survive when the ghost hunts (e.g. predicting where they will come from, where to hide, how to use smudge sticks)! My current reaction is generally to panic and die.

  4. Most of the equipment is broken now and devs have no intent to fix any of it. example my thermometer was showing 16.7c but i had freezing breath. Fail. Yesterday I played went to every room and surface it stayed at 13.7c. Spirit box- i asked a question in the ghost room got no response so went to swap emf for uv light, as i left the house i got a response. Tripod ,if placed in certain spots cannot be moved

  5. In my experience, I find that the microphone is best used in the School and Asylum (and likely the prison once that comes out) to find the general direction of the ghost. It's not good for finding exactly where the ghost is. Make sure you don't jerk around your microphone too much as its readings are a bit delayed.

  6. Honestly I like the microphone if I'm having a fun run. It is more fun than the usual EMF + Thermometer strats. I'll grab the microphone plus a video camera (or photo camera if I'm hunting bone/ouija fast) and then sprint around looking for any sign of activity. Asking for a sign the entire time.

    Is it better than thermometer or EMF? Sometimes. Is it reliable? NOPE. Too many downsides to be considered a strong item, but as far as a change of pace I highly recommend using it for the ghost room hunt. If I get above 5.0 while playing multiplayer I let the team know and thats about all I can do.

    Solo I'll run the microphone and EMF. If I start hearing noises on the microphone I'll swap to the EMF and run towards the noise and hope for a reading 🙂

    So far I've only been lied to once by both EMF and parabolic microphone (Foyer is where they went off, ghost was in the utility room in tanglewood)

  7. Stood in the prison watching objects getting thrown and prison doors open.. 0. Beginning to think its just broken. And just to confirm, freezing temperatures also gave away I was in the right location. Has anyone had any luck with it and can demonstrate it actually finding a ghost, not just picking up light switches and doors you or another player is using.
