Some Phasmophobia ghosts and spirits will communicate directly with you. We're not talking about attacking or stalking you, but responding to you during your investigation. Unfortunately, speaking to them only through a microphone is not enough. You need a useful device to pick up any communication from a ghost, and if you don't own the item, you can't hear them.
To speak to a ghost, you must have the Spirits Box equipped. It's a small radio that continuously switches between AM stations. As long as you have it in hand, anything you say into your headset or microphone is sent into the game. If one of the ghosts responds to you through the mindbox, you have narrowed your search to what it is. is. However, you need to make sure that none of the lights are on in the room and that your flashlight is off. The ghost will not answer you otherwise.
You need to keep your commands and communications short. Ghosts don't respond too well to everything you say. It is best to keep questions small, such as "Where are you?" and "Are you here?" First and foremost, you want to make sure that the lights are out in the room where you suspect the spirit is residing.
If you're having trouble speaking into your microphone, go back to the main menu to make sure the microphone you're trying to use is set up. Another microphone could have been used by default for phasmophobia. You can adjust which one you're using in the menu, and if it's not detected, you may need to exit the app to see if the microphone is working properly.
With the liquor box in hand, you should hear the ghost answer you after asking your questions.
