What is unique media in Phasmophobia?

Unique media is thefirst instance of any capturable moment, event, object, evidence,or other such assets inPhasmophobia. It’s tough to define, since it includes just about everything, but also has some specific requirements depending on the type of media you’re trying to capture.

The best way to understand this feature is to look for moments that highlight ghost activity or unusual features. Anything involving the ghost can be captured as unique media, so focusing on finding and interacting with them is by far the easiest way to capture unique evidence. Certain special items not directly related to the ghost, like Cursed Possessions and Bones, also count, so your goal is to look for anything that feels noteworthy and out of the ordinary.
