GhostTube EVP is an advanced voice recorder for paranormal investigators and video creators to conduct EVP session (electronic voice phenomena). You can record regular voice recordings using only the microphone, or try our new experiment which combines microphone audio with audio signals modulated from interference detected by real sensors in your device. Advanced features exclusive for paranormal investigating include audio boosting so you don't miss any anomalies, audio tagging so you can tag moments of interest in your recordings, and voice activated system to make it easier to review your recordings for anomalies. GhostTube EVP provides a fully functional emulation of the discontinued DR60 voice recorder. As seen on numerous paranormal TV programs, these devices were discontinued in the 90s and the only way to get them is to spend thousands of dollars to buy one second hand from collectors. Our emulation closely matches the sample rate, audio boosting features and voice activated system (VAS) of the famed DR60, so now you can try it in your investigations risk-free without spending thousands of dollars online. Key features of GhostTube EVP: - Traditional EVP recorder - Interference modulator - DR60 emulator* - Audio tagging* - Adjustable sample rate - Voice activated system (VAS)* - Sound boost* - Instant playback - Scrubbable sound visualizer - Access to GhostTube paranormal community and database with details thousands of haunted places around the world* *Some features may require in app purchases or to create an account.

About

Folk Magic

Features
Read full description

Folk magic is a folk tradition, and this app is for reading, interest and practice in that spirit. It is not medical, legal or psychological advice. Some of the old remedies are recorded as history and household custom, not prescription. Where something needs a doctor, the article says so.Folk Magic is a working library of British folk-traditional witchcraft. The household craft, the kitchen spells, the bottles and the knots, the candles and the herbs, the small protective workings and the larger seasonal rituals, drawn from the oral tradition of these islands and held in a quiet, practical voice. This is folk magic as it was actually practised: by cunning folk and hedge witches, by wise women, by the household practitioner with their hand on the broom and their pot on the hearth. It is not Wicca. It is not modern aesthetic witchcraft. It is the old craft, plainly told, in a form you can use. What's inside Learn. Foundations, history, herb profiles, crystal profiles, moon lore, folklore of the cunning folk and the household spirits and the fair folk and the wild places, signs, daily practice, and guided Pathways through specific journeys: Starting Out, Protection, Cooling Anger, Career, Influence, Household. Work. Spellcraft by intention: healing, becoming, glamour, friendship, career, prosperity, talent. Charmwork in its proper sub-categories: spoken charms, bottles, knots, written charms, sachets. Candle magic across sweetening, money, cooling, banishing, healing, protection, and vigils. Cleansing, protection, divination, pathwalking, manifestation, rituals, dark magic, elemental work (Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Spirit), and moon work that follows the 29-day cycle. Hearth. Simmer pots, oils, perfumes, washes, powders, lotions, kitchen work, home blessings, fixed rice, fixed salt, witch waxes, tea blends. The household side of the craft, where so much of it has always lived. A daily moon almanac. Each day of the 29-day lunar cycle carries its own short reading: a note about where in the cycle you are, a charm verse, a working to try, and a spell to consider. A 7-knot charm thread runs through the cycle, picking up a knot at the crescent, building through the waxing phase, peaking at the full moon, and binding off in the waning crescent. The home page shows you which day of the cycle you're on. Genuine British folklore. Jenny Greenteeth, Peg Powler, Black Annis, the Wild Hunt, the Cailleach, the Boggart, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Tom Tit Tot, Black Shuck. Oral tradition told in the voice of the people who carried it, not retold as fairy tale. A practice journal for the workings you try, and a Favourites collection for the articles you return to. Free or full. The Home page, Favourites, the Journal, and a curated tasting of articles across the sections are free, forever. The full library opens with a small monthly subscription. The first week is free. Who this is for. People new to folk practice. Returning practitioners who want depth rather than aesthetic. Anyone who has tried "witch" apps that felt flashy, narrow, theatrical or shallow. Anyone curious about how the craft was actually held in these islands.
