About this sound

A distorted spirit box voice response from the horror game Phasmophobia. Creators use it for ghost hunting clips, jumpscare edits and spooky memes.

The clip captures a single spirit box reply from Phasmophobia, a burst of mangled radio static that resolves into a faint, robotic-sounding voice answering the player. It lasts barely a second and a half, but the warped, half-intelligible delivery makes it feel like something is genuinely speaking back through the interference. Dropped into a video, it instantly adds dread: viewers lean in to decipher the words, and the lo-fi, haunted-radio texture sells the idea that a ghost is close by and listening.

Pro tip

Place it right after a question asked on camera, like 'is anyone here', and duck the background audio underneath so the static crackle stands out. Pair it with a zoom or a night-vision flicker, but avoid looping it, since the charm is in its brevity.

How people use it

Ghost hunters play it after asking the spirit a question.
Streamers drop it during Phasmophobia investigation highlights.
Editors use it before a jumpscare to build tension.
Meme makers caption it over pets staring at empty corners.

More information

The spirit box is a piece of ghost-hunting equipment in Phasmophobia, the co-op horror game released in early access by Kinetic Games in 2020. Players ask the ghost questions through it, and certain ghost types answer with short bursts of distorted, radio-like speech. Clips of these replies spread through Twitch streams and YouTube investigation videos, becoming shorthand for paranormal proof in memes. Like the Fears to Fathom notification sound, it now shows up in horror edits far beyond the game itself, because that crackling voice instantly signals that something unseen is present.
