Conquering the most elusive ghosts in *Phasmophobia* often requires employing special Cursed Possessions—powerful but risky tools. The Haunted Mirror is a prime example, offering significant rewards that outweigh the potential dangers. This guide explains how to utilize it effectively.

The Haunted Mirror is arguably the safest Cursed Object in *Phasmophobia*. Its utility remains consistent across game updates, making it a highly recommended item if discovered during your investigation. Why? Because it reveals the ghost's current favorite room, providing a panoramic view. This dramatically speeds up the investigation, allowing you to strategically position your equipment before things get dangerous. Knowing the ghost's location early is a huge advantage.

You'll typically find the Haunted Mirror hanging on a wall (like in 6 Tanglewood Drive) or on the floor in its predetermined location. Remember, Cursed Objects always spawn in the same spot on each map; it's the *type* of Cursed Object that's randomized.

To use it, simply pick up the mirror and interact with it using the appropriate button (mouse or controller). Its reflection will show the ghost's favored room. On Professional difficulty or higher, be aware that the ghost might relocate after a time.

However, prolonged gazing into the mirror drains your sanity. Holding it for the entire duration will shatter the mirror and trigger a Cursed Hunt at your location. Use it wisely when your sanity is high, and ensure you understand what you're seeing in the reflection.

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions (often called "Cursed Objects") are unique items in *Phasmophobia* that randomly appear on any map (though this can depend on difficulty and Challenge Mode). Unlike standard equipment, which helps locate and gather evidence with minimal risk, Cursed Objects act as game-changers, offering shortcuts but at a significantly higher risk to your character.

Some Cursed Objects are safer than others, and the decision to use them rests with you and your team. There's no penalty for leaving them untouched. Only one Cursed Possession spawns per contract (unless modified in Custom settings).

The game features seven Cursed Objects:

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