I am sure that you must have watched those creepy ghost-hunting shows on TV or you might have gained an interest in Paranormal Activity (thanks to some of the popular Hollywood flicks that depict such occurrences). What grabs our attention is the collection of gadgets and ghost apps for Android and iOS that are used for detecting such abnormal activities.
The existence of ghosts has always been questioned because no one has been able to give concrete evidence of them being real. Add to this the numerous stories of haunted places and paranormal experiences, and you get adequate reasons for exploring these places and gathering proof on your own.
For all you aspiring ghost hunters out there who are not able to afford fancy equipment and gadgets, here is a list of apps that can help you to detect paranormal activity and also find ghosts (if you are lucky enough). But be warned, the dead do not take lightly to probing. You will be responsible for your actions and your fate, so proceed with caution.
1 Ghost Radar
If you need to detect ghosts on an actual radar-type setup, then Ghost Radar is the app for you. You should check out the Ghost Radar classic if you want to experience some ghost-hunting action by being equipped with nothing more than your smartphone. This app uses your phone’s motion, position, and environmental sensors to show anomalies in activity readings. It measures the electromagnetic field with the use of vibrations and sounds.
The result is a display of abnormal patterns that might indicate paranormal activity or it could turn out to be something pretty harmless. The presence of a spirit is determined by measuring the quantum fluctuations in your surroundings. The app has received good reviews from well-known sites and best of all, it is completely free to use. Go ahead and give it a shot. You might be able to catch a ghost right up your alley.
2 Thermal Imaging Accessory
Did you know that you could use your smartphone for thermal imaging? This is possible with the help of thermal imaging accessories and dedicated apps that help you to record images based on their thermal markers. Thermal sensors are usually quite expensive and these devices are coveted by professional ghost hunting groups. I don’t think you would like to invest a lot in professional thermal imaging equipment unless your life’s wish is to become a professional ghost hunter.
How does thermal imaging help to capture the presence of ghosts? A leading expert on paranormal activities explained the concept behind the use of thermal imaging in ghost detection. Because spirits are composed of energy and energy emanates radiation, you can theoretically use the camera to see a temperature artifact left over from a spirit’s passage.
3 IMF (Electromagnetic Field Detector)
The iEMF app is an electromagnet field detector which is great for ghost busting. It detects fluctuation in the local electromagnetic field using the built-in magnetometer on the iPhone. This app, as it turns out, worked just as well as a regular EMF detector. This is not just a baseless claim. A reporter went through the effort of visiting a ghost hunting group and compared the results taken from the actual equipment and the app respectively. Both delivered pretty much the same results, so you can be assured of the app’s effectiveness concerning the detection of paranormal activity.
4 SpiritVox 2.0
This is an app that effectively converts your Android device into a “spirit box”. If you have wanted to pick up voices from the “other side”, then this is the best app for you. Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are said to be the voices of the dead communicating to the living through various electronic devices. Often radios are tuned between stations or some other random form of noise where static is used played as a medium through which the spirit may communicate. The app is available for around $5 which is pretty much affordable as compared to the possibility of recording ghost voices with your phone. Now that is something worth trying out, isn’t it?
5 Paranormal Field Guide
You can use all the fancy apps and gadgets in the world to detect ghosts. But where do you start? The Paranormal Field Guide covers and enlists thousands of haunted places and locations for your ghost-hunting pleasure. It is the ultimate guide for ghost hunting and it would save you a lot of time and effort which would have otherwise been spent on searching these locations and verifying their authenticity.
The exhaustive database in this guide provides key insights into each haunted place such as any supernatural myths and legends associated with it, key areas of interest, and popular ghost sightings.
