Phasmophobia is a co-op horror game released in early access in 2020 by Kinetic Games, where investigators use equipment to identify ghosts in haunted locations. The Spirit Box scans radio frequencies and lets certain ghosts answer questions with short spoken replies about their age, distance or intent. Clips of those answers spread through streams, highlight reels and horror edits because a single word can change an investigation. This close response remains popular as a compact cue for contact with something unseen and nearby.
