Ghost Hunting Apps for Your Smartphone
Spooked by spirits? There's an app for that.
If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, you don’t need to call Ghostbusters. Just launch a ghost-hunting app on your smartphone. They’re designed to use sensors built into your phone -- such as the gyroscope, magnetometer and accelerometer -- to mimic the function of equipment used by professional and hobbyist paranormal investigators. Whether or not a mobile app is capable of measuring paranormal phenomena is debatable, but you want to check out your surroundings, download and install some ghost-hunting gear.
Ghost Radar: Legacy (iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Android; $0.99)
-
Ghost Radar: Legacy uses the sensors on your phone to measure electromagnetic fields, vibrations and sounds around you, then employs a proprietary algorithm that takes that data and uses it to measure quantum fluctuations – temporary changes in the amount of energy around you. Readings are displayed numerically on the Vox tab of the app and as colored dots and words on the Radar screen. According to the developer, “intelligent energy” can influence the sensors on your phone and communicate with you through the readouts displayed onscreen.
Entity Sensor Pro (Android; $5.95)
-
Entity Sensor Pro provides an EMF detector and an EVP sensor, key tools for hunting ghosts. The EMF detector tracks fluctuations in the electromagnetic field and saves them in a format that can be exported to a spreadsheet program for recordkeeping. The EVP recorder detects and records EVP audio that you can upload to SoundCloud to share or analyze later. Additional in-app purchases allow you to set up automatic recording when values are within a specific threshold and a media enhancement package that includes a camera and high-quality EVP recording in MP4 format.
Ghost EVP Analyzer (Android; $1.60)
-
Ghost EVP Analyzer is an app designed for one purpose: to help you capture, save and analyze electronic voice phenomena. The app provides basic tools such as reverse playback and half-speed playback to help you analyze EVP recordings. If you prefer to conduct your analysis with your own audio software, you can easily transfer the recorded files from your phone to your computer.
Ghost Hunter M2 (iOS; $0.99)
-
There’s a veritable arsenal of ghost-detecting gear built into this app; launch it and you’ll find nearly everything you need to analyze your environment. Ghost Hunter M2 uses your iPhone’s magnetometer to measure fluctuations in electromagnetic fields, simulating an EMF detector -- one of the most important tools in any ghost hunter’s kit. Three tools are included for audio analysis: an electronic voice phenomena instrument used to detect and display words that paranormal enthusiasts believe are communications from the spirit world, and two additional instruments used to analyze audio signals. It also includes tools that detect spatial displacement -- a disturbance in your physical environment.
