How to Use Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia

Conquering the most elusive ghosts in *Phasmophobia* often requires employing special Cursed Possessions – a risky but rewarding endeavor. The Haunted Mirror stands out as a particularly useful, yet relatively safe, option. This guide explains how to utilize it effectively.

How to Use the Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia

The Haunted Mirror is arguably the safest Cursed Object in *Phasmophobia*, offering significant rewards that outweigh the inherent risks. Its function remains consistent across game updates, making it a highly recommended tool if encountered during your investigation.

Its primary benefit is revealing the ghost's current favorite room or area. The mirror provides a panoramic view, allowing you (especially if familiar with the map) to quickly locate the ghost and strategically position your equipment before things get dangerous. This significantly speeds up the investigation process.

You'll typically find the Haunted Mirror hanging on a wall (like in 6 Tanglewood Drive) or lying on the floor in its predetermined location. Cursed Objects always spawn in the same spot on a map; the randomness lies in *which* Cursed Object appears.

To use it, pick up the mirror and interact with it using the appropriate button (mouse or controller). Its reflection will display the ghost's current haunt. On Professional difficulty and above, remember the ghost might relocate after a time.

However, prolonged gazing into the mirror drains sanity. Holding it for the full duration will shatter the mirror, triggering a Cursed Hunt at your location. Use it wisely when your sanity is high and be prepared for what you see.

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions, often called "Cursed Objects," are unique items spawning randomly across *Phasmophobia* maps (though this can depend on difficulty and Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, which safely helps locate and identify ghosts, Cursed Objects offer shortcuts to manipulate the ghost, but at considerable risk.

The risk level varies between Cursed Objects. You and your team decide whether to use them; there’s no penalty for not doing so. Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings).

Seven Cursed Objects exist:

• Summoning Circle
• Haunted Mirror
• Voodoo Doll
• Music Box
• Tarot Cards
• Ouija Board
• Monkey Paw
