"Guide to Using Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia"

In *Phasmophobia*, tracking down and identifying the ghost often requires more than just standard equipment. Occasionally, players must turn to powerful—and dangerous—Cursed Possessions to gain an edge. Among these, the Haunted Mirror stands out as one of the safest yet most effective tools available. If you're unsure how it works or whether it's worth the risk, here’s everything you need to know about using the Haunted Mirror in *Phasmophobia*.

How to Use the Haunted Mirror in Phasmophobia

The Haunted Mirror is considered one of the safer Cursed Objects in *Phasmophobia*, largely because the benefit it provides outweighs the potential danger. Its function has remained consistent through game updates, making it a reliable tool when encountered during investigations. When used correctly, it can significantly speed up your identification process and help locate the ghost with minimal effort.

Upon activation, the mirror displays a panoramic view of the ghost’s current favorite room or area on the map. If you’re familiar with the layout, this visual clue allows you to narrow down the ghost’s location quickly and set up your cameras, sensors, and traps before things escalate.

The Haunted Mirror typically appears either hanging on a wall (like in 6 Tanglewood Drive) or lying on the floor at its designated spawn point. While the exact object that spawns is randomized, once it appears, it will always be found in the same spot on a given map.

To use the mirror, simply pick it up and interact with it using the appropriate key or controller button. As you hold it up, you’ll see the reflection of the ghost’s preferred room. Keep in mind that on Professional difficulty or higher, the ghost may change rooms after some time, so act quickly once you’ve gathered the information.

However, caution is advised. Looking into the mirror for too long drains your sanity, which can leave you vulnerable to attacks. Worse still, if you hold the mirror up continuously until it shatters, a Cursed Hunt will trigger at your current location. To avoid disaster, only use the mirror when your sanity levels are high and ensure you understand what you're seeing before acting.

What Are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions—often referred to as “Cursed Objects”—are special items that randomly appear on maps in *Phasmophobia*. Their presence can vary depending on the difficulty setting or whether Challenge Mode is enabled. Unlike standard gear, which helps gather evidence safely, Cursed Objects offer shortcuts to manipulate or reveal the ghost—but at a much greater personal risk.

Each Cursed Object comes with unique effects, and while some are safer than others, the decision to use them ultimately rests with you and your team. There is no penalty for choosing not to interact with them. Only one Cursed Possession will spawn per contract unless modified in Custom Game settings.

Currently, there are seven different Cursed Objects available in the game:

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

That’s everything you need to know about using the Haunted Mirror in *Phasmophobia*. Whether you're a seasoned investigator or just starting out, understanding how to utilize this powerful item can make all the difference between a successful hunt and a deadly encounter.
