Specific information about ghosts in Phasmophobia

Myling

Mylings emit a louder sound than other ghosts, so the player can hear it when using a parabolic microphone.

If you notice a ruckus happening, it could mean the player is dealing with Myling. However, be wary of sudden silences. Myling is known to be extremely quiet on the hunt, if all paranormal sounds stopped, people could be its next victim.

Shade

Shade is definitely a ghost that no one wants to meet because of the horror it causes when appearing right above the player's head. However, this ghost is especially shy and tends to avoid confrontation with large groups.

This means that going together will ensure safety but also make gathering evidence a bit difficult. Shade don't mind hunting when the player's sanity declines or when someone is wandering alone, but they are one of the easier ghosts to deal with.

Goryō

Along with Myling, Goryo was added to Phasmophobia in the Exposition update. Unlike Myling, Goryo can be detected with the new DOTS Projector.

It is a rather shy ghost that avoids the camera and is very difficult if the player tries to take a picture of it. They are not easily seen, so the surest way to gather photographic evidence of it is to point a video camera at the DOTS Projector and wait for Goryo to move.

The Twins

The Twins, added in the Nightmare update, always appear on the map as a pair. This can cause some confusion among players, as one can stay in a ghost room, while the other roams around and causes mischief by manipulating ghost hunters. little doubt.

However, The Twins can interact with the environment at the same time and one can initiate the hunt independently. This means that players need to be alert and ready to run away at any moment.

Spirit

One of the most common types of Phasmophobia, Spirit has no truly apparent abilities. They can range from docile to extremely violent, it all depends on the luck of the level.

Being ignorant of Spirit can make it harder for the player to take it down. This is where ghost hunting tools come in handy, as Spirits are often identified through Ghost Writing and Spirit Boxes.
