But what happens when you die in Phasmophobia and end up becoming one of the Ghosts you&#8217;ve been trying to seek out? In this guide, we&#8217;ll talk about what happens when you die in Phasmophobia, and what to do after you die.<\/p>\n<p><pre><strong>April 17 2023 -<\/strong> Wondering what to do when you're dead in Phasmophobia? We've updated this article with the newest tips and info.<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What Happens When You Die In Phasmophobia?<\/h2>\n<p>Once you die in Phasmophobia, you are effectively temporarily out of the Ghost hunt. <strong>You&#8217;ll become invisible to other players, you&#8217;ll drop all of your items &#8211; so other players can pick them up &#8211; and you won&#8217;t be able to interact with other players via in-game voice chat anymore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"aj4a6ba1d8169e\" data-v-e014bf32=\"\">What to Do When You&#8217;re Dead In Phasmophobia<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/qW1ziLVZDGDmXacl3hNMleyvgxZPFnEos081ryBgsP0\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi93YXRlci5qcGc\" alt=\"dirty sink water dead phasmophobia\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Even when you&#8217;re dead in Phasmophobia, you can point out evidence like Dirty Sink Water to your teammates over Discord or with another platform.

In fact, there are several things you can still do to interact with other players and with Ghosts.<\/p>\n<h3>Be A Ghost Yourself<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to have some fun, you can throw things around and mess with your teammates after you&#8217;re dead, creating a little bit of ghostly activity yourself. While this doesn&#8217;t have any gameplay benefits &#8211; and might even hinder your team a bit &#8211; it&#8217;s a fun way to spend your time after you&#8217;ve passed on!<\/p>\n<h3>Complete The Journal<\/h3>\n<p>As a dead player, you&#8217;ll have a lot of time to figure out who the Ghost might be alongside the other players. Even if you&#8217;re dead, you can fill out your journal and try to determine the identity of the Ghost. If you&#8217;re right, you still get rewards, even though you died during the match!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/HXqwnteU2Wilbz8t4Hz2vjC3c6OQj3tLdcoFJkiwdSo\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9QaGFzbW9waG9iaWEvZ2hvc3RfbW92ZW1lbnQuanBn\" alt=\"dead phasmophobia\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">When you&#8217;re dead in Phasmophobia, you won&#8217;t be able to interact with other players, but you can trick them into thinking there&#8217;s ghostly activity afoot.
