About

GhosthoundField

Features
Read full description

GhosthoundField is a field notebook for paranormal investigators who want a clean record instead of gadget theatrics. FIND A PLACE, THEN INVESTIGATE IT The Places tab lists haunted places near you: cemeteries, houses, roads, forts, ships and more. Search any city, filter by type and distance, or browse them on a map. Each place has its documented history from Wikipedia and Wikidata, with the source shown, and any folklore kept separate and clearly labeled as a story, not proof. When Ghosthound has published a write-up, tap Read on Ghosthound. Tap "Start investigation here" and Ghosthound Field opens a new case card with the site, town and coordinates already filled in. Save places you want to visit; saved places keep their history on your phone, so they work with no signal. LISTEN BACK TO EVPs Play recordings in the app with a scrubbable waveform, HIT markers, half-speed playback and looping. Start an investigation card for each case with the site, city, team, case type, reported activity, and whether you have written permission and consent to name the location. A pre-session checklist makes sure the basics are covered. During a session, log events as they happen. Each entry gets a timestamp, room and investigator. GhosthoundField records what your device can actually measure: barometric pressure, magnetometer readings (labeled as the compass chip they are, not an EMF meter), outdoor weather, moon phase, and the NOAA geomagnetic Kp index. Pair a Bluetooth environmental sensor to add indoor temperature and humidity. Capture evidence in the same case: • EVP sessions recorded as uncompressed 48 kHz audio, with live hit marks • Evidence photos, including ProRAW on supported iPhone Pro models • LiDAR room geometry and depth on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro, with a flag when a living person is in frame When you're done, export a package of notes, CSV, PDF, audio, photos and LiDAR files to share however you like. No spirit box, no fake thermal camera. If it isn't on your device or a Bluetooth sensor, it isn't logged as if it were.
