Many players consider the Mimic to be one of the most difficult ghosts to identify in Phasmophobia because, as the name implies, it can copy the actions and traits of any other type of ghost. The Mimic can also trick you into thinking it is a different ghost based on the evidence it leaves.

The Mimic

Evidence

To identify a Mimic, you’ll first need to look for its primary evidence factors:

The only special case for this list is the Ghost Orbs. If you find Ghost Orbs and two of the other items, take special precaution to rule out the Mimic’s fourth piece of evidence or the suspected ghost type’s third piece of evidence.

That being said, The Mimic is the only ghost that has four pieces of evidence in normal mode and is usually the only ghost with three pieces of evidence in Nightmare mode (which will always include the Ghost Orbs as the third piece). Thus, if you find that much evidence, you’re able to immediately identify your ghost as a Mimic.
