The spirit box is a piece of ghost hunting equipment in Phasmophobia, the co-op horror game released by Kinetic Games in 2020, which lets players ask the ghost questions and receive garbled vocal replies. Short response clips like this one spread through Twitch streams and YouTube ghost hunt videos, where the flat robotic delivery became a recognizable shorthand for talking to the dead. It now sits alongside other horror game sounds like the Fears to Fathom notification and the FNAF jumpscare scream in meme edits and soundboards.
About this sound
The distorted spirit box voice from Phasmophobia answering "far" and "wide" during a ghost hunt. Streamers use it in horror clips, memes and spooky edits.
This is the crackling, robotic voice of the spirit box from Phasmophobia, the co-op ghost hunting game, delivering two short answers in a row: far, then wide. The voice is flat, distorted and faintly metallic, like a radio transmission breaking through static, which makes the two plain words feel cold and evasive. Hearing it lands like a direct reply from the ghost itself, a tiny jolt of confirmation that something unseen is listening and choosing to answer, and that uncanny back-and-forth is exactly why clips of it get replayed.
