Whether you are a professional Paranormal Investigator, a hobbyist or just want to have some fun, this app works like a "Spirit Box" reading data from your sensors and turning it into spoken words. IMPORTANT: Do NOT hold your device and do NOT shake or tap your device while running Ghostalker LITE. It is designed to detect the smallest movements and vibration, as well as changes in electromagnetic fields, light, proximity etc. With a database of over a thousand commonly used words, Ghostalker Lite will read changes in all of the sensors it can find in your device. This includes sensors for the tiniest amount of vibration, rotation, GPS, gyroscope, light, magnetic fields, proximity etc. and convert them to words which it will display and speak. This app uses the actual raw data from the sensors to determine what to say, rather than picking one at random like some other apps. TIP 1: Paranormal investigators believe that leaving such devices running for as long as possible will allow "spirits" to learn what energy is required to trigger certain words. TIP 2: If it starts to trigger words constantly you may be getting interference from something close by. Try moving the device somewhere else or tap the 'Calibrate' button to get it to tune out background variance (although you will lose some sensitivity). TIP 3: Occasionally interference can cause individual sensors to trigger constantly. This can also be caused by faulty or overly sensitive sensors. From v0.2 you can now enable and disable individual sensors to prevent such issues. The LITE version of Ghostalker shows the last 10 words spoken but does NOT log those words, it does NOT include the log viewer, and it does NOT allow you to create a custom dictionary of words. If you like this app and want these extra features, please download the full "Ghostalker" app. This app is not designed to form complete sentences so it is up to you to interpret what it says in your own way. Top end phones and tablets tend to have more sensors than low end ones but the app is designed to work with whatever hardware it can find. The sensitivity of sensors will also vary between devices. If the app does not do what you were expecting, or there is an issue with it running on your device, please contact me for help. There are no adverts in this software and it does not require an Internet connection.

** You will need a set of Mobile Phone VR Goggles to use this app ** Enhance your paranormal Investigations with the S:G VR Experiments. Many experiments used on Paranormal Investigations are still using old techniques and equipment, I am trying to change that now using todays technology. Combine these experiments with the Estes method and see what happens! At the moment there are 3 experiments to choose from: 1: The Ganzfeld Experiment This uses a sensory deprivation methodology to help connect you to the spirits (this is an enhancement of the Estes method). It has been around since the 1970s and used on paranormal investigations for many many years. Originally you would put half ping pong balls over your eyes with a red light shining threw them. I am bringing the Ganzfeld Experiment into the 21st Century using the latest technology. Instead of listening to white noise, why not listen to a spirit box instead? 2: Spinning Triangles This is my own enhancement of the Ganzfeld Experiment, along with the flashing red lights, I have added 3 spinning red triangles within a black circle, within the flashing red screen. When testes I stared at the centre for around 1 minute then closed my eyes, I saw a huge sort of 3D sphere appeared with some crazy stuff going on inside it. 3: Space Travel I made my own 3D VR engine to simulate space flight. As you glide forward through space you should become relaxed and more susceptive to extra sensory feelings. ** WARNING ** This app contains flashing lights, and may produce motion sickness, please use with caution, and for no longer than 20 minutes at a time. ** Disclaimer ** Use at your own risk.
