New Wishlie Hospital You were getting your daily treatment with friends at the New Wishlie Hospital for 2 weeks already, and today was time to get discharged from the hospital. But something happened. You woke up at 2 AM and found out that all the patients were gone, except you and your friends. The place looks much muddier and it’s... locked! You read in magazines about the hospital and turns out that it's haunted. Now It seems like the only way to escape is through the garage door. Will you be able to get away by the time the ghost devours your soul? High School Emily and Leila were studends and best friends. They lived in a small house in a town with almost no people. It was Sunday, and it was routinuous for them to visit the cemetery together. Only this time, for some reasons, Emily felt she would better stay home. So she decided to stay home. Looking out of window, Emily sees strange creature creeping behind her sister... The next day after Leila's absence, she runs to school for help. On her way to get inside the school, the main school gate closes behind her. Now locked inside the school area, the next thing she notices are students who struggle to survive... Apartments Waking up you realized that you were stuck in a cursed apartment. You and your friends need to use elevator to reach the first floor and exit the building.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Paranormal at none against The Ghost's 23. Paranormal also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9). The Ghost's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (60% vs 43%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. The Ghost sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Paranormal asks for nothing beyond the download.
Paranormal holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4.3K and 879 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of The Ghost's written reviews are positive against 43% of Paranormal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Ghost ships an update every 2 weeks, Paranormal every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
