Phasmophobia 'Bloody Mary' Trigger Words, Explained

One of the most important ways to identify a Ghost's identity in Phasmophobia is to verbally chat with them or to use a Ouija Board or Spirit Box to communicate. While you're communicating with Ghosts, you can say pretty much anything you'd like - but not all phrases will guarantee a response. Most people just say "hello," or ask the Ghosts some questions about who they are - but what happens if you think outside of the box and say something a little more creative?

You have no doubt heard the folk tale that if you say "Bloody Mary," three times into a mirror, the ghost will appear to you. Considering Phasmophobia is a game centered around finding Ghosts and determining who they are, it makes sense that some players have decided to bring this tale into Phasmophobia, chanting the words into a mirror in-game. In this guide, we'll explain what happens if you say "Bloody Mary" in Phasmophobia.

April 17 2023 - We've checked, and "Bloody Mary" is still a working trigger phrase in Phasmophobia.

What Happens If You Say Bloody Mary in Phasmophobia?

The phrase "Bloody Mary" is a bit of a dangerous one in Phasmophobia, and you shouldn't say it casually unless you're ready to be either inconvenienced or hunted. Most Ghosts do not like to hear the phrase "Bloody Mary," and will become extremely upset if you say this phrase. The closer you are to a Ghost when saying the phrase, the more likely it is that they will respond negatively - so if you're looking for a response, you should ensure that you're in close proximity with a spirit before speaking. Saying this phrase at any time could trigger a Ghost, though, so be careful!

Depending on the Ghost, you might not be met with a hunt once you say the phrase - but you should always be prepared for one, no matter what! Calmer, less aggressive Ghosts might just leave you an angry message in response, but the more aggressive Ghosts won't hesitate to hunt you if you mess with them. If you're caught off-guard after saying this phrase, you could end up dead. Say "Bloody Mary" at your own risk, since there are no Ghosts that are known to respond positively to this phrase!

Now you know what will happen if you say the phrase "Bloody Mary" while playing Phasmophobia. Go ahead and try it out for yourself next time you head out on an investigation with your friends, but be prepared for the dangers that your team might face!
