Ghostly tools

EMF meter, spirit box, night-vision camera, footstep and energy tracking — every tool a serious investigator carries.

FIELD NOTE

Where “ghost tech” actually comes from

EMF meters and spirit boxes were built for other jobs first — measuring electrical fields and scanning radio frequencies — before investigators adopted them to hunt for unexplained energy shifts. None of it proves anything on its own. That's the deal every serious hunter makes: the tools capture data, you decide what it means.

Ground rules: never investigate alone, get permission before entering any location, scout it in daylight first, and bring a torch and a first-aid kit.

Ghost-hunting apps worth trying

A round-up of tools people actually use — tap through to find and install any of them.
Ghostcom Radar Spirit Detector

Locates where a presence is standing while you exchange messages with it — built more as a spooky party game than a serious instrument.

GhostTube SLS

Projects an infrared grid to pick out humanoid-shaped outlines in a dark room, with night vision on newer phones.

Ghost Hunting Tools

An EMF reader paired with an EVP recorder, plus a word bank that tries to guess what a spirit is getting at.

iOvilus

Generates spoken “messages” from live changes in your phone's sensors — fun, but check its privacy practices before you install it.

Spirit Board

An on-screen Ouija board — ask a question, place your fingers on the planchette, and see where it moves.

Ghost Detector — Haunted Radar

Watches for changes in the electromagnetic field around you and flags anything unusual.

Ghost Radar: CLASSIC

Filters out everyday electromagnetic noise so only the odd, unexplained spikes get flagged.

Ghost Tracker EMF EVP Recorder

Combines EMF and EVP recording in one tool — one of the few cited by an actual paranormal researcher as genuinely useful.

Sono X10 Spirit Box

A spirit box that assembles words from a voice bank as your phone's sensors shift.

Paranormal EMF Recorder and Scanner

Straightforward EMF detection with recording and basic analysis built in.

OVERNIGHT Ghost Hunt Toolbox

A full kit — spirit box, digital dowsing rods, entity detector — plus a community feed to share what you find.

Ghosthunting Toolkit

Five tools in one: EMF, vibration and power detectors, an EVP recorder, and an “interrogation” mode.

Ghost Detector Radar Camera

A camera-first hunt-and-ask interface, built for an immersive solo session.

GhostTube VOX Synthesizer

Synthesises speech in real time from live radio streams as your sensors pick up changes — no pre-recorded sounds.

GhostTube Paranormal Videos

Raw EMF and audio tracking laid over your recordings, no added effects.

GhostTube SEER

Turns sensor readings into AI-generated visuals — pairs with a VR headset accessory for a more immersive session.
