As usual the developers of Phasmophobia are doing their best to ruin my day by adding more ghosts, two to be precise, in the upcoming 0.6.2 update. They've posted some blurry text in a development blog on Steam. It doesn't take a genius to puzzle it out, but the implications are particularly awful:

The update also showcases a variety of horrific new bits and bobs to be found on the Sunny Meadows map. That is to say, lots of rusty medical equipment and bloody pulled teeth and saws and syringes and forks and scalpels and scissors and cutters and a spooky bathtub.

You can find Phasmophobia on Steam. Anyway, here's a spooky bathtub:
