All Easter eggs and secrets in Phasmophobia

Although ghost hunting is your primary objective in Phasmophobia, if you spend some time looking around the various explorable areas, you may come across some pretty fun hidden Easter eggs and secrets.

As you wander through maps or get ready for a hunt in the lobby, there are many unique secrets waiting to be uncovered, many of which are direct references to other horror projects. If you want to mix up how you play and discover what mysteries this game hides, here are all of the Easter eggs and secrets you can find in Phasmophobia.

All Phasmophobia Easter eggs and secrets

You can find many Easter eggs and secrets around both the maps and in the lobby while playing Phasmophobia. Many of them are pretty easy to discover as long as you’re paying attention while exploring, but some of them are well hidden.

Here is every Easter egg and secret you can find in Phasmophobia.

Maple Lodge Campsite Easter eggs and secrets

The Maple Lodge Campsite map is the best spot to visit for some amazing secrets, with plenty to discover. Take your time walking around and check every nook and cranny since there’s something new to discover at every twist and turn.

Jason Voorhees mask from Friday the 13th

Maple Lodge Campsite is a camp sitting right next to a lake, but this isn’t where the Friday the 13th parallels end. If you head to the very end of the pier overlooking the lake, you’ll find a Jason Voorhees mask looking up at you.

To get this mask to spawn, all you have to do is stand right at the edge and look directly down at the bubbling water spot below. The mask then rises to the surface, so it looks like Jason Voorhees may have terrorized this camp, too.

Slenderman

When you visit either Maple Lodge Campsite or the smaller Camp Woodwind, you might spot someone rather tall and ominous watching you from within the woods. Slenderman sometimes randomly spawns deep in the forest around both maps, but he’s not always there, so your best bet for seeing him is to peer into the forest every time you load onto either map.

The spot I’ve found him most frequently is in the forest outside of the camp gate, so look to your left before heading inside to try and spot him. He has a one in three chance of appearing each time you load into either camp map and can appear in any of the areas where you can look out into the forest.

The Ring

The cabin sitting by the lake at the Maple Lodge Campsite map hides a rare and eerie movie reference. If the television in the cabin is mysteriously turned on and turned off, you may hear the telephone ring as a direct reference to The Ring.

The Blair Witch Project twig doll

If you make a left immediately after entering this map and head to the back fence sitting behind the campfire, you’ll find a twig doll hanging on the fence. This is a reference to the stick figures from The Blair Witch Project.

Before it was renovated, Maple Lodge Campsite had two more secrets. The first was a heart drawn near the top of a toilet tank as a reference to Saw, and the second was a corpse lying underneath the cabin. Both vanished following the map renovation, but if they come back in a later update, then they’ll be added here.

Outside of Maple Lodge Campsite, there are still many other Easter eggs and secrets to be found.

The Potato

While exploring 6 Tanglewood Drive or Sunny Meadows Mental Institution, you may have come across a strange potato with a face. This is an easter egg for the Twitch creator and YouTuber PsychoHypnotic, who makes a lot of Phasmophobia content and has a strong potato theme running throughout his channels.

Point Hope Ferryman of the Drowned

The Point Hope Lighthouse map hides a massive Easter egg puzzle you can solve to earn the special Point Hope Ferryman of the Drowned Badge. Completing a secret series of quests on this map gets you an exclusive badge and unlocks a special map effect featuring dozens of eerie floating ghosts hovering around the top of the lighthouse.

A score of 666 in basketball

If you manage to obtain a score of 666 by playing a lot of basketball in the lobby, you’ll be met with a sudden storm of lightning and thunder outside as the basketball counter marks this number.

Bloody Mary

You can kind of play Bloody Mary if you use this phrase to anger the ghost. Some players have reported that holding a candle in front of a mirror and saying it three times causes the ghost to hunt, but this is not true.

Instead, Bloody Mary works as a trigger phrase that can sometimes anger the ghost. This makes them generally more likely to react and potentially begin a ghost hunt.

You can go all out by looking in the mirror and holding the candle, but this is mostly just for show and doesn’t have any direct effect on the ghost’s behavior. The phrase does seem to generally anger ghosts based on my experience with it, so consider trying it out if you’re hoping to capture some ghost activity.

Jojo was here

In the lobby, there’s a boombox sitting on a table with some clipboard and a ghost-hunting guide. If you walk to the side of the table the boombox is sitting on, you’ll find the words “Jojo was here” scrawled onto the table, which is a reference to a creator named JOJOsaysbreee who makes a lot of Phasmophobia content.

The chapel at Sunny Meadows Mental Institution

All of the Cursed Possessions spawn in front of the massive cross located in the chapel on the Sunny Meadows Mental Institution and Sunny Meadows Restricted map. If you create a custom difficulty including at least six of these items and you use the Summoning Circle, the massive cross right behind it is completely devoured by flames.

Additionally, as you light each candle around the circle, one new Crucifix in the room turns upside down before the cross in the middle goes up in flames. No other map or object has a dramatic effect quite like this one, so it’s a terrifying but kind of epic experience to witness.

Patient 07

One of the ghost models you’ll come across in Phasmophobia has been named Patient 07 by the community due to the label with this name appearing on her clothes. She’s the one in the flaming cross picture, and she’s got a complex history in the ghost-hunting game—and a few secrets associated with her.

Before Sunny Meadows Mental Institution arrived, there was an Asylum map instead. In the Version 0.6.0.1 update, the pajama-wearing female ghost model was updated to include the Patient 07 label, and some interesting markings were uncovered on Asylum, including something of a poem written by her.

This poem reads, “I have to leave, somewhere new, I don’t belong here, I’ll go soon, to get better, I hope, I found a new home, Sunny Meadows, sounds nice, a place to heal.”

Now, you can find remnants of Patient 07’s stay at Sunny Meadows Mental Institution around the map, including her body in the morgue and a room covered in tally marks and bloody handprints from her time there. She’s also the lobby ghost you can see when you look through the door by the photo board.
