This app is intended for entertainment purposes only and does not provide real “paranormal activity” or “ghost locating” functionality. Ghost Detector - Lost Souls detects possible signs of paranormal activity around you. Using advanced algorithms, the app analyzes electromagnetic fields, temperature changes, vibrations, and sounds to interpret possible nearby presences. For the best experience, use it in a low-light environment with as little noise as possible. Note: during development, strange events occurred. Random-looking code fragments appeared to connect into unexpected protocols; during tests, noises were heard and objects seemed to move. Good luck!
