Phasmophobia Freezing Temperatures: Thermometer Guide

Freezing Temperatures is the evidence most often guessed wrong, because a room can feel cold without being below freezing and a ghost can cool a room slowly over the whole investigation. The thermometer decides it, not the vibe.

What counts

A thermometer reading strictly below 1°C / 33.8°F confirms the evidence. On the less precise Tier I scale, wait for the liquid to fall clearly below the zero mark instead, since the reading is unreliable near the boundary.

Which ghosts leave it

Twelve ghosts have Freezing Temperatures: Aswang, Demon, Gallu, Hantu, Jinn, Moroi, Onryo, Revenant, Shade, The Mimic, The Twins, and Yurei. Cross-check the evidence cheat sheet.

How to read it

• Check the favorite room after the ghost has been active there for a while — cooling builds up over time.
• Your visible breath is a hint that the room is cold, but it is not the evidence itself; confirm with the thermometer.
• A frequently roaming ghost can leave several cold rooms, and a room stays cold for a while after the ghost moves elsewhere. Recheck after setup rather than reading once on entry.

Why the Hantu matters here

The Hantu is the ghost that ties temperature to speed: it moves fastest in cold rooms and slowest in warm ones, and it cannot turn on the breaker. So a cold room plus a fast hunt is a strong Hantu tell on top of the evidence. Confirming freezing early on a cold map is worth prioritising for exactly this reason.

Common mistakes

Calling a room freezing because it looks dark or because your breath fogs once. Reading on entry before the room has cooled. And ignoring the breaker — a map with power off cools faster and muddies the read. On reduced-evidence difficulties, an absent freezing reading is not proof, so treat it as unknown; the difficulty breakdown explains the trap. The identification order guide shows where freezing fits in the fastest route.
