Turn your iPhone into an entertainment-focused ghost detector for atmospheric paranormal hunting. Ghost Detector combines a relative EMF meter, a spirit box experience, EVP-style generated words, audio recording and session history in one dark, easy-to-use toolkit. GHOST DETECTOR SESSIONS Start a ghost detector session and watch relative magnetic-field activity change around you. The EMF meter uses the device magnetometer to visualize nearby variation, while the live chart helps you follow unusual movement during paranormal hunting. Readings are relative device-sensor measurements, not proof of ghosts or spirits. SPIRIT BOX & EVP EXPERIENCE Use the spirit box to create eerie EVP-style words and phrases during a session. Record surrounding audio, mark the timeline and return to possible EVP moments later. The spirit box is designed for supernatural entertainment, scary nights and imaginative ghost hunting—not real communication with the dead. PARANORMAL HUNTING TOOLKIT • Relative EMF meter with live activity feedback • Spirit box with generated EVP-style responses • Audio recorder for paranormal investigation sessions • Saved history with dates, duration and notable events • Dark interface made for haunted places and low light • Adjustable EMF sensitivity for different environments Use Ghost Detector for a haunted-house game, spooky storytelling, urban exploration or a paranormal investigation with friends. Review your ghost hunting history and compare EMF activity, spirit box events and EVP recordings from different locations. IMPORTANT This app is for entertainment only. It does not scientifically detect ghosts, spirits, entities or paranormal activity, and it is not a safety instrument. Magnetic readings can be affected by phones, cases, speakers, wiring, appliances and nearby metal. PREMIUM Premium may be available as a weekly auto-renewing subscription or a lifetime purchase.

About

GhostScope

Features
Read full description

GhostScope is a ghost-hunting kit for fun. It cannot detect ghosts: it shows what your phone's sensors pick up and adds playful tools. EMF METER: shows your phone's real magnetometer reading in µT or mG, with a 5-LED bar, peak and live graph. Magnets and speakers move it. Not a scientific instrument. EVP RECORDER: record with the microphone and play back slowed down. Free: 1 recording a day, plus 1 per rewarded ad. SPIRIT RADAR: a radar animation for atmosphere. Blips are random, a visual effect only. SPIRIT BOX: a radio-sweep game. Words are picked at random from a built-in list; a word drops sooner when your EMF reading jumps. Word history included. Entertainment only: nothing is being detected. SENSORS: live pressure, vibration and sound level from the sensors in your phone. PENDULUM: type a yes/no question; the answer comes from how you tilt the phone. HUNT LOG: saves your EMF sessions (duration, peak, events), the last 100. Free with ads. No ads while a hunt is running. GhostScope Pro (subscription or one-time purchase) adds unlimited EVP recordings, m4a export and sensitivity boost above x1.4, and removes ads. No account. Readings and recordings stay on your device. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://ghapps1.wordpress.com/privacy-policy/
