The lights flicker. Your phone hums in your hand. Somewhere in the static, a voice is trying to come through. Are you listening? Ghost Hunting Tools is a full paranormal investigation kit running on your phone. Spirit box, EVP scanner, ghost detector, and EMF meter, all in one app. Built for first-time ghost hunters and veteran investigators alike. Free to use, with a Pro upgrade when you are ready to dig deeper. What's inside Spirit Box and Ghost Talker Open a session and the app scans for ghostly signals, pulling words from a curated dictionary in real time. Read them on screen, hear them spoken aloud, and watch as patterns start to form. The kind of one-word-at-a-time communication serious investigators look for, without the radio hiss. EVP Scanner Capture Electronic Voice Phenomena from the ambient noise around you. Phrases, fragments, names. Some you will write off as coincidence. Others will sit with you longer than you expected. EMF Detector (NEW on iOS) Brand new in version 2.21.4: a working EMF meter pulled straight from your phone's sensors. Watch the readings spike when something steps into the field. Cross-reference with the spirit box and you have two channels lining up at once. Sensor Dashboard EMF, motion, light. Your phone has more paranormal-detection capability than most people realize, and the dashboard reads all of it. Easy-to-follow graphs let you spot the moment everything goes quiet, right before it doesn't. The Word Bank A large dictionary of words the app surfaces during scans. No filler, no random noise for the sake of it. Just the vocabulary that paranormal investigators have reported reaching for them again and again. Pro unlocks a much bigger bank and lets you add your own words. Pro Version Remove ads, unlock the expanded dictionary, and add custom words of your own: names of the deceased, places of interest, anything you suspect might be listening. Pro purchases also fund continued development of the app, so the hunt keeps getting better because of the people who go pro. Why people keep this app on their home screen You do not have to believe in ghosts to enjoy Ghost Hunting Tools. You just have to be curious about what happens in the quiet moments. Open the app at a bonfire, in a basement, in an empty hotel room. Bring a friend. Tell us what you find. Ghost hunt safely Trust your instincts. Don't go alone to places you don't know. If something feels wrong, close the app and walk away. Tools are tools, and your judgment is what keeps you safe. A note on entertainment Ghost Hunting Tools is built for fun and curiosity. We can't promise you will talk to a real ghost. We can promise you will have a story.

For our Ghost Hunter friends this tool will allow you to use your Apple device to listen for EVPs. The curated library of around 2300 words will help you to see what you can't hear. The estimated accuracy of the data is listed with the translation along with the EMF reading at the time of the capture. We also show you a live reading of the electromagnetic field around the phone, measured in mili Gauss. Tap the pause button to pause detection, this will help you to avoid catching your own conversations, resume detection by tapping play. Don't forget to scroll, your entire session may continue beyond the screen, so scroll down to see the latest results. The microphone in Apple's devices is very good and you may find that excess environmental noise has an effect on the accuracy of the text returned. What you see on the screen is the best guess for what was said. You can also change languages in the device settings under GhostTalk. GhostTalk currently supports English, French, Chinese, German and Spanish. Join our group chat to discuss ghostly things with other users. There are no ghosts in the chat. If things get a little spooky we recommend turning on some lights and taking a break from the app for a while. :)
