The lights are on
P.T., or the Silent Hills teaser as it is likely more commonly referred, was beaten a few hours following its release, but no one has been able to figure out exactly how.
Following its surprise reveal, many other players have been able to finish P.T. and see the Silent Hills trailer that plays at the end. Despite making my way through the whole playable teaser and finding the missing photo pieces, I have not been able to complete the demo – and I don't think I am alone.
Possible puzzle spoilers ahead
Consulting walkthroughs online, I know I have to get the phone to ring, but how that is done consistently is up for debate. There is a child's giggle that must be activated, followed by another giggle, and then the phone rings. Some say there is a third giggle before the phone rings, but that is also up for debate. I have been able to activate the first giggle by waiting for the time to change and taking exactly 10 steps towards the phone from the radio. After that I am stuck. I've read that you have to go into the bathroom and look in the sink. I've read that you have to find the ghost and look at her (which appears to be random). I've read that you have to plug in a headset and say, "Hello, Lisa" when you hear ghostly noises, and I heard one person say they had the game paused for nearly an hour when they finally heard the phone ring.
It begs the question: have you been able to finish P.T.? And if so, have you been able to complete the final puzzle consistently? Let us know in the comments below.

Yep.
I did it without the headset, all I did was do the ten steps from the phone thing, stare at the location the ghost sounds were coming from (mirror, radio, phone) then I looked at the "Hell" writing in the hall, then the phone, then I got the second giggle, stayed still, and the phone rang and voila! Oh, and I collected all the picture pieces.
Here's the video of me getting the call (notice the microphone icon is crossed out)

I've tried numerous ways to best the last puzzle but just can't get that second baby laugh. =_=
I was stuck in that last hallway for two days but I finally got the phone to ring. Not sure how I did it though. Can't wait for to play the actual game!
The way that I did it worked without a hitch. Wait until the chimes finish ringing, indicating that it is now midnight. Take ten steps in any direction and the first laugh will start. After that, listen to the "haunting" and examine the object it's coming from. It's either the phone, the radio or the mirror in the bathroom. The radio is static followed by what sounds like Lisa (the ghost) laughing, the phone is static followed by sobbing/heavy breathing, and the mirror is the only one that doesn't begin with static. That should trigger the second laugh. This may have to be repeated a time or two (the first time I examined the object I think I did it wrong, but the second time it was instantaneous.) After the second laugh, do NOTHING. Don't walk, don't move the camera, nothing. Just stand still, and the controller will begin to vibrate. Once the vibrating stops, the third laugh will happen, and the phone will ring immediately after.
I just beat it, god damn that finale puzzle. That damn baby laughed for the 2ed time while the damn game was paused so I could check again how to get that *** to laugh. So happy when I finished it.
Haven't finished it yet either
