how do orbs works?

im new to phasmophobia and i hear orbs all the time what are those

so when you find the ghost room, you get your video camera and tripod and place them in there. then you go back to the van and look at the computer screen while having it on night vision mode, and you wanna observe for any round, floating stuff. those are orbs. they will be quite easy to distinguish. it does take some time for them to show though sometimes, so dont immediately scratch ghost orbs off if you dont see them the first time around, leave and come back in a couple minutes, they may be visible then.

Ghost orbs, They're like a little firefly that floats around the ghost's 'Home Room' occasionally vanishing and reappearing at a certain point.

The little white ball lookin thin in that gif, floating towards the bottom right vanishing and reappearing, that's a ghost orb.

This evidence is only visible through a camera iirc; Night vision is technically optional but incredibly recommended. Also, It will only appear for ghosts who have ghost orbs as one of their primary evidences- Or for the Mimic who has a fake orb as it's power.


The ghost orb ALWAYS tells you what room is the ghost's 'Home Room', which is the room the ghost always returns to after roaming before starting a new roaming session.

You can also see ghost orbs on the small screen on the video camera when you hold it in your hand (right click to toggle to night vision), so you can check a suspected room in person and not have to go back to the truck. However, because the screen is smaller, it can be much harder to see a ghost orb, so it's always best to double check in the truck.

Also note that room lights or flashlights will wash out the night vision and make it much harder to see orbs. Turn out the lights for the best viewing.
