How rare is a banshee scream?

In Phasmophobia, the Banshee scream is a unique, relatively common audio cue that confirms a Banshee, appearing about a third of the time a Parabolic Microphone picks up a sound, but it's rare for other ghosts unless it's a Mimic. While the scream itself isn't incredibly rare for a Banshee (roughly a 33% chance per mic sound), hearing it can feel rare because it's a specific interaction, and other ghosts can mimic it, making it a key but sometimes confusing piece of evidence.

Why does a banshee cry?

Banshees scream to forewarn families of an impending death, acting as otherworldly messengers or spirits tied to specific lineages in Irish/Celtic folklore, their wail echoing the ancient practice of "keening" (mourning women) but signaling doom rather than participating in the grief. Their shriek, described as a mournful cry, shriek, or even owl-like screech, is an involuntary warning, often indicating the death of a prominent family member, and it doesn't cause the death but announces it.

How to tell if it's a mimic?

To tell if a ghost is a Mimic in Phasmophobia, look for Ghost Orbs plus three other pieces of evidence (Freezing Temps, Spirit Box, UV) because the orbs are fake; it will always have one more evidence type than the difficulty allows, so if you get Orbs, Spirit Box, and UV (or Freezing), you've likely found it, especially if its behaviors shift wildly like different ghosts. The key giveaway is evidence it shouldn't have, like EMF5, Dots, or Writing, which confirms it's not a Mimic, or if its hunt behaviors (speed, abilities) don't match its evidence.
