Phasmophobia has all kinds of unique ghost types you can identify, and over the years, this list of ghosts has grown a few times. On Dec. 12, 2025, the Obambo joined the roster, making it one of the later game additions and thus a tougher one to identify.

Screenshot by Destructoid In addition to official evidence, all ghosts have their own unique behaviors, patterns, and other such clues you can watch out for. Here's everything we know about the Obambo so far, which will be updated as we continue to encounter this ghost.

• The Obambo has two different states, alternating between them frequently during investigations. Depending on the Obambo's mood, their behavior looks very different.
  • While the Obambo is feeling aggressive, they're much quicker to start hunting.
  • When the Obambo is feeling calm, they're much slower, easier to track, and less likely to hunt.
• Because it alternates between two vastly different states, it can be easy to mistake the Obambo for another ghost type. You might mistake it for The Twins due to its dual nature, a ****** based on its overly aggressive form, or a Shade because of its calm, relaxed state. Careful investigation is crucial for getting this one right. The Obambo is very noticeably different from all of these ghosts, making it easy to distinguish once you know what to look for. You can also use official evidence to confirm.
• The Obambo is very fickle, frequently switching up, and oftentimes defensive.
• May be an early hunter, or at the very least seems to hunt early under certain conditions. It seems like it may only be when the aggressive state is active, but we're still testing to figure out exactly how this works.
