In the dark silence of a haunted house, the Monkey Paw rests quietly, waiting for a careless wish. One by one, investigators gather around it, hearts racing as they decide what to ask for. A wish is spoken, and for a moment, hope fills the room until the lights flicker and a cold presence draws closer.
The Monkey Paw never gives without taking something in return. Every wish bends reality, often turning help into danger. What seems like a shortcut to survival slowly becomes a test of courage.
Fear grows with each creak of the floorboards and distant footsteps. In Phasmophobia, the Monkey Paw reminds everyone that some wishes are better left unspoken.
