All you need to know how ghosts react to doors in Phasmophobia. I will show tests of all the ghost types and how you can use doors to your advantage. As a bonus I also added 2 more tests with the Wraith in the end.
Here are the respective timestamps:
00:00 intro
01:06 Jinn
02:08 Phantom
03:03 Oni
04:01 Yurei

Alternate title for this video:
Listening to ghosts burp for 14 minutes
11:35
Revenant: Im fast af boiiii
This was very interesting. Thank you for your work!
Ghosts sees person ' hehe ur next'
*Player closes door *
Ghost' oh I must have seen a ghost'
Revenant without line of sight: Buuuuh I'm soooo slooooow
Revenant with line of sight:
NYOOOOM
How did you get the ghosts to pose for the thumbnail? How did you get the models?
It'd be really cool if he went on to do more game mechanics breakdown videos like these once he's gone through all the Phas content. Genuinely good content mate, super underrated channel. Keep up the good work ✊
im really loving all these videos, it is very interesting to watch, thank you <3
So where is exactly safe O.o
Any ghost models of the small child crawling freaks me tf out, they definitely got an A++ in gym class
Revenant normally: 👨🦯
Revenant when he/she sees someone: 🏃♂️💨
Note to self: don't hide in that last room in the hallway in ridgeview….
It's interesting to see that in wandering mode most of the ghosts seem to follow largely the same path in a given locale (in this case, the 2-story house). Is this true in each location in that there's a preset path(s) for the ghost to follow when no target has been acquired?
So you closed all of the doors, meaning that the ghosts will walk through any door. So a door doesn't stop a ghost at all, it just breaks line of sight?
11:36 one of the moments i was waiting for
So, basically everything the game tells us is a lie?
awesome video
that phantom do be movin tho
Thanks ✨💜
I guess we can just do what these ghosts have been doing to us this whole time and close the door in their face.
So lockers and closets are safer beacuse they don't have spawn points in them? Sounds reasonable
here a like for your 16 hard works!
Great Content as always!
So ur basucally telling everytine i was hidkng during a hunt it was complete rng that i didnt die and not my strategic way of picking a room? D:
No wonder Revenants are so damn dangerous, as soon as it rounded that corner it got the zoomies
Woah okay so closing doors is really good for LoS only huh, that's scary 😀 and with all the doors closed, did you notice a pattern on the behavior of the ghosts on which rooms they checked? A couple of them checked the bathroom upstairs on the right, but I'm thinking you've been in that bathroom that's why they check it even with the doors closed, same with the path the other ghosts took probably because you've been in those rooms? Or is it just really random?
Does photos that don't show up on your journal count for money?
Thanks for these videos. A lot of your tests are well done. People have good intentions I'm sure, but a large portion of the gaming communities (not just phasmophobia) do not know how to test things properly. That's how crazy myths start (looking at you, acnh airport trick). Of the people that do test things properly, many don't know how to make a proper report of their findings nor do they know how to do a follow up, making their findings untrustworthy. It's even harder to test when the mechanics are largely RNG based. All in all, there's so much misinformation floating around phasmophobia. This is a good video showcasing the line of sight mechanics, good work.
While probably unintentional, you also kinda showed the direction of the line of sight. In the code, I think it says they draw a line facing forward and another line diagonally towards the left? You can see this in your revenant clip. Before the revenant completes its turn around the corner and completely faces towards you, it already sped up. Now I'm curious if the ghosts have a blind spot to their right side as I'm unsure if anyone has dug up any code about that.
I'm not even gonna like 10:54 spooked me a lil💀
How do you do the poses for your thumbnails?
Good info.
Man they made a mistake doing the becoming of a ghost after you die. This is totally killing the mystery of the game lol.
that was pretty disappointing. Ghosts should have at least a short memory, like if they just saw u in a spot and u disappeared they go there to check. Also.. isnt the wraith supposed to see through doors?
11:35 ZOOOOOM
Is the wandering path picked by the ghosts completely random for each hunt phase?
Your tests are quite good but also at the same time make me sad that I just tought I had to be quiet and hide.. 🙁
Gave you a sub
I could have sworn there was a ghost type that walked through walls… I guess I'm wrong?
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! Really helps a lot. By chance, would you remember what your sanity was like during each of these tests? I’ve heard from someone that ghosts will ignore doors if you have 0% sanity and in line of sight. Also, do the doors have to be closed completely, like when you hear the click?
i was disappointed to see wraith's results lol
I always stay at the end… just to see potato guy 🙂
The AI definitively needs improving. Ghosts should not go back after seeing someone close a door.
What about furniture breaking line of sight?
Are you Swiss? I really like your accent, very sympathetic!
