Although ghost hunting is your primary objective in Phasmophobia, if you spend some time looking around the various explorable areas, you may come across some pretty fun hidden Easter eggs and secrets.
As you wander through maps or get ready for a hunt in the lobby, there are many unique secrets waiting to be uncovered, many of which are direct references to other horror projects. If you want to mix up how you play and discover what mysteries this game hides, here are all of the Easter eggs and secrets you can find in Phasmophobia.
All Phasmophobia Easter eggs and secrets
You can find many Easter eggs and secrets around both the maps and in the lobby while playing Phasmophobia. Many of them are pretty easy to discover as long as you’re paying attention while exploring, but some of them are well hidden.
Here’s every Easter egg and secret you can find in Phasmophobia.
Maple Lodge Campsite Easter eggs and secrets
The Maple Lodge Campsite map is the best spot to visit for some amazing secrets, with plenty to discover. Take your time walking around and check every nook and cranny since there’s something new to find at every twist and turn.
Jason Voorhees mask from Friday the 13th
Maple Lodge Campsite is a camp sitting right next to a lake, but this isn’t where the Friday the 13th parallels end. If you head to the very end of the pier overlooking the lake, you’ll find a Jason Voorhees mask looking up at you.
To get this mask to spawn, all you have to do is stand right at the edge and look directly down at the bubbling water spot below. The mask then rises to the surface, so it looks like Jason Voorhees may have terrorized this camp, too.
Slenderman
When you visit either Maple Lodge Campsite or the smaller Camp Woodwind, you might spot someone rather tall and ominous watching you from within the woods. Slenderman sometimes randomly spawns deep in the forest around both maps, but he’s not always there, so your best bet for seeing him is to peer into the forest every time you load onto either map.
The spot I’ve found him most frequently is in the forest outside of the camp gate, so look to your left before heading inside to try and spot him. He has a one in three chance of appearing each time you load into either camp map and can appear in any of the areas where you can look out into the forest.
The Ring
The cabin sitting by the lake at the Maple Lodge Campsite map hides a rare and eerie movie reference. If the television in the cabin is mysteriously turned on and turned off, you may hear the telephone ring as a direct reference to The Ring.
The Blair Witch Project twig doll
If you make a left immediately after entering this map and head to the back fence sitting behind the campfire, you’ll find a twig doll hanging on the fence. This is a reference to the stick figures from The Blair Witch Project.
Body under the cabin
Underneath the cabin on this map, there’s a corpse tucked away in the corner. It’s super difficult to spot even with the bright Tier III flashlight, but it’s there. You can find it by walking around the left side of the cabin, crouching, and shining a light underneath the building.
There used to be a message in the lobby that was only visible using a UV Light that read “I’m under the cabin. Help me” which seems to be a nod to this secret. The message isn’t in the lobby anymore, but the corpse remains.
Point Hope teasers
The Maple Lodge Campsite map features a map with Point Hope marked on it. This existed prior to its release but remains a part of the map. You can view this map inside the reception building hanging behind the desk.
Another Easter egg teasing the arrival of Point Hope is the outline of a tall lighthouse you can see in the distance by looking to your left on the same pier where you can find Jason Voorhees’ mask. It’s a bit glitchy which makes it tricky to spot, so if you’re having trouble seeing it, try looking left at different angles to get it to work.
Bleasdale Farmhouse Easter eggs and secrets
The Bleasdale Farmhouse rework that was released on March 10, 2025, introduced several new secrets that can only be found around this location.
Lilith the Spider
In the attic, you can find a spider named Lilith. She’s a fully animated spider who moves around only in the attic area. She seems to have escaped from her terrarium, as in the secret witchy bedroom attached to the attic, there are three of them. Two of the terrariums have photos with names pinned on them, but the middle terrarium is missing the photo with the name of the creature inside.
The photo can be found on the ground right beneath it and says “Lilith.” She escaped from her terrarium and is based on a real spider owned by one of the mods in the Phasmophobia Discord.
Cookbook
In the kitchen that’s attached to the dining room on the first floor, you can find a book called “Obake Off” sitting on the counter. The Obake is one of the many ghosts you can identify in each contract, so this book is referencing this ghost type.
Posters
On the wall of the witchy bedroom in the attic, you can find an array of special posters. All of these posters feature different Phasmophobia references. These references include map names, ghost types, evidence, and other such game features.
Pet plates
In the bright pink tea room on the first floor, you can find lots of adorable furry faces on the many pet plates hanging up on the walls. All of the featured pets belong to the Phasmophobia devs and some content creators.
Harry Potter references
This one is more a possibility rather than a fact, but there are some interesting details in the Bleasdale Farmhouse that could be intentional Harry Potter Easter eggs. Specifically, the messy stack of letters on the ground right in front of the door as you enter, the cupboard under the stairs in the foyer, and the very pink tea room covered in pet plates.
Possible map teaser
Based on the 2025 roadmap, we know there’s a new small map coming this year. This Easter egg is only speculation for now, but there’s a suspicious newspaper on the coffee table in the living room with the name “Nell’s Diner” on it.
All other readable items I found throughout the map were specific Phasmophobia references. Nell’s Diner, though, is nothing we know about so far, so I think it could be the name of the map we’re getting this year. The devs previously hid map name clues around other maps prior to the release of Point Hope, so there’s a chance they’re doing it here too.
Outside of these two specific maps, there are still many other Easter eggs and secrets to be found.
The Potato
While exploring 6 Tanglewood Drive or Sunny Meadows Mental Institution, you may have come across a strange potato with a face. This is an easter egg for the Twitch creator and YouTuber PsychoHypnotic, who makes a lot of Phasmophobia content and has a strong potato theme running throughout his channels.
Point Hope Ferryman of the Drowned
The Point Hope Lighthouse map hides a massive Easter egg puzzle you can solve to earn the special Point Hope Ferryman of the Drowned Badge. Completing a secret series of quests on this map gets you an exclusive badge and unlocks a special map effect featuring dozens of eerie floating ghosts hovering around the top of the lighthouse.
Nautical flag message
In the children’s bedroom on the seventh floor of Point Hope, there are six nautical flags that hide a secret message. If you align the patterns of the flags with this special alphabet, they spell “GET OUT.”
A score of 666 in basketball
If you manage to obtain a score of 666 by playing a lot of basketball in the lobby, you’ll be met with a sudden storm of lightning and thunder outside as the basketball counter marks this number. This is a really tough one to achieve since it takes a lot of time to reach this score.
Toilet heart from Saw
At Camp Woodwind, you can find a small white heart drawn on the tanks above the toilets. This is a reference to the movie Saw where a trapped individual connects the words “Follow your heart” to a heart drawn on the toilet’s water tank. This Easter egg is on both toilets in the bathroom, so you can view either one to see it.
Jojo was here
In the lobby, there’s a boombox sitting on a table with some clipboard and a ghost-hunting guide. If you walk to the side of the table the boombox is sitting on, you’ll find the words “Jojo was here” scrawled onto the table, which is a reference to a creator named JOJOsaysbreee who makes a lot of Phasmophobia content.
The chapel at Sunny Meadows Mental Institution
All of the Cursed Possessions spawn in front of the massive cross located in the chapel on the Sunny Meadows Mental Institution and Sunny Meadows Restricted map. If you create a custom difficulty including at least six of these items and you use the Summoning Circle, the massive cross right behind it is completely devoured by flames.
Additionally, as you light each candle around the circle, one new Crucifix in the room turns upside down before the cross in the middle goes up in flames. No other map or object has a dramatic effect quite like this one, so it’s a terrifying but kind of epic experience to witness.
Patient 07
One of the ghost models you’ll come across in Phasmophobia has been named Patient 07 by the community due to the label with this name appearing on her clothes. She’s the one in the flaming cross picture, and she’s got a complex history in the ghost-hunting game—and a few secrets associated with her.
Before Sunny Meadows Mental Institution arrived, there was an Asylum map instead. In the Version 0.6.0.1 update, the pajama-wearing female ghost model was updated to include the Patient 07 label, and some interesting markings were uncovered on Asylum, including something of a poem written by her.
This poem reads, “I have to leave, somewhere new, I don’t belong here, I’ll go soon, to get better, I hope, I found a new home, Sunny Meadows, sounds nice, a place to heal.”
Now, you can find remnants of Patient 07’s stay at Sunny Meadows Mental Institution around the map, including her body in the morgue and a room covered in tally marks and bloody handprints from her time there. She’s also the lobby ghost you can see when you look through the door by the photo board.
Removed Phasmophobia Easter eggs and secrets
There are some Easter eggs and secrets that used to be available but can no longer be found. They’re still fun to know about though, so here’s a breakdown of all of them.
Symbols on the floor
Prior to the release of the Point Hope map, there was an intricate puzzle involving symbols on the floor in the lobby. You could match up these symbols with clues across various maps to decode a rune puzzle that spelled out Point Hope. This was a teaser for the map before it was added, so once it was released, this complex puzzle was removed.
Seasonal events
Phasmophobia does annual special events for the holidays including Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. These events always feature special ghost models, decorations, and plenty of secrets to discover. Past events have featured fun secrets like Krampus, dancing snowmen, a cauldron you could mix special ingredients in to witness a ghostly weather event, forest spirits, and much more. If you enjoy hunting for Easter eggs and secrets, be sure to participate in Phasmophobia’s seasonal events since they always have plenty of them waiting to be uncovered.
