How fast do banshees travel

[dex]

I was trying to loop a banshee in Ridgeview, but when it was going after me it started to speed up I couldn't really find anything about this anywhere so is this supposed to happen?

Sounds like you've not played in a long time. Looping isn't possible anymore for most ghosts

The banshe doesn't have a unique hunting speed, so it runs at 1.6 m/s (the players non-sprinting speed) and once it establishes line-of-sight, it will accelerate up to 2.5 m/s within a few seconds, which is the standard-hunt speed for most ghosts.

You can find all details on the Phasmo wiki. The ghost speeds are specified in the Hunt-entry ( https://phasmophobia.fandom.com/wiki/Hunt#Ghost_speeds ) as well as on each ghost itself, if it deviates from the standard ghost behavior

Like Maya-Neko said. All ghosts except some fews are speeding up on sight to Revenant speed (2x player speed). This was patched in around May/June 2021. You can't actually loop ghosts anymore. Also, the longer the hunt lasts, the faster the base speed of ghosts does get also.

Exceptions are the Hantu and the Deogen:

Hantu speed is solely determined by room temperature. In a "hot" room you can actually loop a Hantu, but be aware that it will also cool down the room the longer you loop in it. So it will slightly get faster and eventually catches you on higher difficulties or bigger maps (= longer hunts). Don't loop it in the same room all the time.

Deogen runs fast at the beginning and will find you in all hiding spots. This is intended, because while it can see you, it slows down to a veeeeery slow speed and you can outrun it smartly (this is the way meant to handle that ghost). Just be aware that it speeds up again when you cross a corner, this can be deadly if you didn't planned that in.
