Phasmophobia is a cooperative horror game released in early access in 2020, in which teams enter haunted houses to gather evidence of ghosts using tools such as spirit boxes and radios. Clips like this one circulated through gameplay videos, streams and soundboards as players shared their most unsettling in-game moments. The radio-style distortion fits the game's found-footage feel, and it has stayed popular because it is instantly recognisable to fans while still working for viewers who have never played the game.
