Step into the unknown with Ghost Talker, a complete paranormal investigation lab in your pocket. Ghost Talker brings together multiple investigation tools in one app: a live-radio Spirit Box, Ghost Talker word-based sessions, SLS-style figure detection, EMF monitoring, Thermal Vision and session tools designed for paranormal exploration. Ask questions, scan your surroundings, monitor environmental changes and compare results across different instruments. Whether you're investigating a dark room or revisiting a familiar location, Ghost Talker gives you multiple ways to observe what is happening around you. SPIRIT BOX — LIVE RADIO SWEEP Use the Spirit Box to ask questions and listen as fragments from live radio broadcasts sweep rapidly across multiple stations. Up to twelve internet radio streams can remain active at once while the Spirit Box jumps between them before individual broadcasts can complete a word or phrase. Spirit Box audio comes from real radio streams playing at that moment — not from a library of prerecorded responses. Control your Spirit Box sessions with the adjustable Scan Rate. Slower settings allow longer fragments to pass through, while faster scanning creates shorter, more fragmented audio. There is no single correct Spirit Box speed. Experiment with different scan rates and find the method that works best for your paranormal investigation sessions. You can also choose the language of the radio sources — including English, Spanish, German, French and Chinese — or combine multiple languages in Mix Mode. GHOST TALKER — SPIRIT TALKER-STYLE WORD SESSIONS Ghost Talker also includes a **Spirit Talker-style** word-based investigation mode. Ask a question and watch words appear throughout the session. Some words may seem relevant. Others may appear completely unrelated. Keep your Ghost Talker session running, observe patterns and decide for yourself what — if anything — feels significant. This Spirit Talker-style feature provides another experimental investigation method that can be used alongside the Spirit Box, EMF monitor and visual tools. SLS-STYLE FIGURE DETECTION Scan your surroundings for human-like shapes using an SLS-inspired camera experience. Ghost Talker analyses camera and depth information in real time to identify possible human-like forms. On supported devices, available depth sensors can contribute additional spatial information; other devices use camera-based analysis. THERMAL VISION Explore your surroundings through dynamic colour mapping and alternative camera views designed to reveal visual differences that may be difficult to notice normally. Switch between available vision modes and compare the same environment from different perspectives during your Ghost Talker investigation. EMF MONITOR Use your device's magnetometer to monitor changes in the surrounding magnetic field. Read measurements in milligauss and use the EMF monitor alongside your Spirit Box and Ghost Talker sessions to document environmental changes.
