Every ghost you come across in Phasmophobia is not only capable of performing terrifying behaviors, but also has a horrifying appearance without doing anything at all. Kinetic Games has quite a collection of ghost models sure to make your ghost-hunting endeavors even scarier.
You never know what kind of ghost model you’re going to get which means there is a good chance you haven’t seen them all, so here are all of the current ghost models Phasmophobia has.
What are ghost models in Phasmophobia?
Ghost models are the appearance a ghost takes when it chooses to appear. The selected ghost model is always random, and never indicative of what kind of ghost you’re dealing with.
How do you see a ghost model in Phasmophobia?
You might see a ghost model at any point when ghost hunting in Phasmophobia, but you are much more likely to see one during a hunt. If you want to increase your chances of seeing a model, then using a Cursed Possession like the Summoning Circle or Monkey Paw is your best bet.
All ghost models in Phasmophobia
There are 11 regular ghost models in Phasmophobia, which are the ones you will commonly see all the time. Every ghost you face in a contract will randomly choose one of these 11 models.
Toothfaced ghost
The toothfaced ghost model takes on the appearance of a small woman in a tattered dress. She is bald and her entire face is covered with a spiral of neverending teeth.
This ghost is one of two models that may occasionally crawl rather than walk.

Butcher ghost
The butcher ghost is a large male model ghost wearing a bloody apron and carrying around a massive butcher knife. He looks quite unlike most other models and is easy to spot because of this.

Axe ghost
Sometimes called the nerd ghost by the community, this axe ghost is wearing a tattered suit and has a massive hole in the middle of his head.

Wide-smile stitches ghost
The wide-smile ghost is covered in fresh bloody stitches and takes on the appearance of a woman in a brown dress. Her mouth is contorted into a long and twisted smile with pointed teeth that stretch across her entire face.

Fancy axe ghost
There are a few ghosts that carry axes, but the fancy axe ghost can be distinguished by his special striped vest. He is by far one of the best-dressed ghosts and gets the fancy title because of it.

Club ghost
The club ghost is the only one who wields this kind of weapon. He also appears to be wearing worn-down fishing attire and is sometimes referred to as the fisherman ghost model because of this.

Skinned ghost
The skinned ghost is perhaps the most unique one of all, and is a completely bare ghost from head to toe with shiny skin covered in stitches. This ghost is also extremely tall.

Skeletal scythe ghost
The skeletal scythe ghost looks a lot more skeletal and zombie-like than it does ghost. Its teeth are falling out, its body is falling apart, and it always has a scythe when you see it.

Patient 07 ghost
Phasmophobia’s most infamous and lore-ridden ghost is the only one with a semi-official name, which is Patient 07. This ghost can be seen through the door in the main lobby and is believed to have a complex storyline involving the Asylum and Sunny Meadows Mental Institution.
Patient 07 has also been called “The Ring girl” since she resembles the character from the film. She has long black hair covering most of her face and white pajama or hospital-like clothes.
She is the second model capable of crawling, so you sometimes might see her hunched over or crawling close to the ground when you encounter her. Patient 07 is one of the richest Easter eggs in Phasmophobia, so there is a lot more to this ghost model than you might know.

Limited-time ghost models in Phasmophobia
Beyond the staple 11 ghost models, there have also been four special limited-time models for Phasmophobia’s signature holiday events.
Christmas 2021 ghost
For the holiday season in 2021, a creepy Santa ghost was temporarily added to the game. This ghost model was essentially just the greybeard axe ghost wearing a Santa costume.

April Fools’ 2023 ghost
As a special April Fool’s tree in 2023, all of the classic ghost models had absurdly enlarged heads.

Christmas 2023 ghost
For the Holiday 2023 event, a special ghost based on the butcher model could appear. This ghost had a snowman head with a long bloody smile, a black top hat, the words “Happy Holidays” carved across its chest, and a candy cane.

Although the current selection of permanent ghost models is a bit limited, the Phasmophobia 2024 roadmap confirmed that more ghost models will arrive in the future. New ghost models are currently slated for the official 1.0 release, so it might be a while before we actually get to see them.
