Welcome back to the Grafton Farmhouse – or as it’s now known, “that place your therapist warned you about, but you didn’t listen.”
Kinetic Games has dropped a full visual rework, and this isn’t just a coat of paint. We’re talking a work room from hell, walls that let the weather in (because insulation is for for the weak), interactive mannequins that belong in a fever dream, and cursed possessions tossed around like free candy at a serial killer’s open house.
Whether you’re here to min-max your survival odds or just scream in surround sound with your friends, let’s break down everything new, creepy, and blood-moon-beautiful about Grafton’s latest nightmare fuel.
Before the rework, Grafton and Bleasdale felt like two branches of the same weird family tree. Now? Total opposites:
Bleasdale is the well-kept, “Pinterest-board” farmhouse with modern-ish amenities while Grafton is the creepy, dilapidated cousin who insists the mold on the walls is “historical.”
The new Grafton Farmhouse map comes loaded with:
This adds vertical gameplay, ok looping, and a whole lot more “it’s behind me, isn’t it?” moments.
Open walls and busted roofing mean you can now watch storms and funderful Blood Moons from inside the comfort of the house. Cozy.
These include the “seamstress room from hell,” perfect for anyone who wanted Silent Hill energy in their ghost hunts.
These are now ghost-interactable. And in one particularly cursed twist, the work room might feature a unique event where mannequins quietly rotate to face you when you’re not looking.
This is fine. Totally fine.
Only one will spawn per match, but here’s where to look so you can either weaponize it or ruin everyone’s day:
Tarot Cards – Library
Haunted Mirror – Master Bedroom
Summoning Circle – Child Bedroom
Music Box – Twin Bedroom
Ouija Board – Attic
Monkey Paw – Dining Room
Voodoo Doll – Work Room
Pro tip: grab cursed items early for strategic plays, or late for chaos. Either way, know where they spawn so you can call dibs before your teammates.
Knowing where the breaker is can mean the difference between “strategic light use” and “why is it so dark, oh god it’s hunting.”
Two Possible Breaker Spawn Locations:
Utility room wall (1st floor)
Hallway to attic stairwell (2nd floor)
Check the truck map before heading in. Unless you’re playing on a difficulty that hides it…in which case, just do quick loop to these two locations and you’ll be good to go.
Sure, you could run screaming until the ghost makes you a wall decoration, or you could actually use these hidey-holes to live another day (assuming they’re not blocked off):
Kitchen: Behind the Fridge Door
Pretend you’re leftovers no one wants. Just watch your toes – ghosts love peeking.
Utility Room: Behind the Upright Mattress
Smells like dust and regret, but hey, it’s cover.
Dining Room: Behind the Shelf Opposite the Fireplace
Great for those “just barely made it” hunts. Ghosts will stroll right past while you re-evaluate life choices.
Work Room: Behind the Curtain Opposite the Door
Conveniently next to our nightmare-fuel mannequins. What could go wrong?
Upstairs Hallway: Behind the Boxes
Less “hiding” and more “being grounded,” but it works.
Master Bedroom: Behind the Room Divider
Fancy enough to feel like a hotel, until the ghost books the same room.
Child Bedroom: Cupboard
Unsettling toys included at no extra cost.
Twin Bedroom: Cupboard
Same as above, but with double the beds and double the “no thank you”.
Attic: Cupboard
The isolated panic room of last resorts. Great for breaking line of sight mid-hunt.
Pro tip: practice getting into these fast in a custom game before you actually need them. “Oops, wrong corner” is a terrible obituary that we’re probably all too familiar with.
Work room: sewing machine, scraps, bad vibes. Theories suggest the ghost may have been a resident tailor…or their last customer.
Dolls: sometimes giggle, sometimes speak (“Take me with you”). Hard pass, hell no, nope.
Weather inside: maybe it’s just a leaky roof…maybe it’s the ghost corroding reality. For regular weather, the heavy rain and snow look amazing – however, Blood Moon is just next-level bananas.
Attic history speculation: could’ve been used for long-term storage, or a boarding space for “tenants” who never left.
Fuse box check is priority #1 for serious hunts.
In weekly challenges like “Farmhouse Fieldwork” or “Do As I Command,” plan your cursed item and hiding route before setup.
Use the attic loop only in emergencies. The attic is smaller than it looks and not my favorite tbh.
That’s the new Grafton Farmhouse in all its weather-wrecked, mannequin-infested glory. Now get in there, fill your journal, roast your dead friends, and tell Grafton you made it out, at least this time.
And keep your EMF reader warm, because Nell’s Diner is coming to Phasmophobia sooner than you think, and something tells me the menu comes with a side of death.

About the author call_made
Hi, I'm the founder and editor-in-chief of Report AFK, a gaming and anime site built for people who are tired of sanitized mainstream media coverage and toothless hot takes. I want to bring both the technical know-how and battle-tested gamer instincts to every article here. Whether I'm deep-diving into ARAM strats, roasting a broken patch, or side-eyeing the latest "diverse" but soulless AAA release, I write with one goal in mind: cut the fluff and tell it how it is. I've worked in digital marketing and spoke in conferences nationwide, but my heart’s always been in the trenches of gaming - whether that’s grinding ladders, theorycrafting late at night, or binge-watching the 38th questionable isekai this season. Follow my rants, insights, and updates on ReportAFK.com and let me know what you think in the comments - I read (and usually respond to) every. single. one.
A place for gamers, by gamers, untarnished by corporate gaming media and their nonstop attempts to elevate bad games while denouncing any developers brave enough to stand up to them.

NOOOOOOO! Ok – to be 100% transparent here, I misspelled “Possessions” like 10 times writing this and catching every. single. one. before publishing. BUT PHOTOSHOP doesn’t autocheck my dumb when I’m making the graphics! Am I going to fix my mistake? Nah, it’s already up there if I change it, Twitter will act all crazy and won’t recheck for the new image so it will just have a missing image space there and I’M NOT DOING THAT. So I’m just going to let my shame wag in the wind at this point. Thanks for letting me know though and for stopping by That Guy!

Hey Asdfjkl, it will help once you get accustomed to the hiding and looping places, but I think they’re a little subtle when you’re just starting out. I actually got wrecked by a Poltergeist yesterday (I think it was tanking my sanity, but I didn’t see him interacting with anything *shrug*).
Either way, sorry for the bad luck but I believe in you! Thanks for stopping by!!
