Run atmospheric ghost box sessions, record EVP, and hunt a presence through your own room in AR — made for entertainment. Ghost Talker turns your phone into a pocket ghost-hunting console for late-night investigations, party scares, and spooky storytelling. Start a session and watch the frequency sweep come alive as words surface from the channel, the intensity meter climbs, and the ambient bed fills the room. Every session is a little story you create. GHOST BOX SWEEP Tap start and watch the sweep scan the band while words and events stream onto a glowing console. Mark a moment with one tap, ride the intensity meter, and let the ambience build the tension. INVESTIGATION MODE — HUNT YOUR OWN ROOM IN AR Scan the room around you, then hunt it. The feed darkens to a flashlight cone and you sweep for readings with four instruments: an EMF meter that spikes as you close on the presence, a thermal probe that finds cold spots, the EVP recorder for voices that were not in the room, and the spirit box for direct answers. Six entities can be haunting you, and each one is identified by a unique pair of readings — so every hunt is a real deduction, not a guess. A persistent exit indicator and boundary warnings keep you oriented while you play. Log the outcome in your investigation journal and build a case history. SPIRIT BOX SOUND ATMOSPHERES Choose from session moods — classic, house, forest, and night drive — each with its own word bank and ambient bed. Premium unlocks the full sound and word library. EVP RECORDER Capture an EVP session with the built-in recorder, mark notable moments, and attach the recording to your timeline. Premium removes the length limit and unlocks clean WAV export. AR GHOST LENS Open the AR Ghost Lens straight from a live session and turn the room into the investigation. Place signal pins on real surfaces, trigger atmospheric portal events, and capture eerie evidence from your camera view. A free preview scan lets you try it before unlocking unlimited pins, portal overlays, and HD capture. SPIRIT TALKER PROMPTS Ask a question or pick a preset prompt, sit through the listening moment, and read the atmospheric response card. Responses are generated on device. SESSION TIMELINES AND HISTORY Every session is saved as a replayable timeline of words, prompts, marked events, and recordings. Add a title and notes, browse investigations by date, and search past sessions by word or mood. SHAREABLE EVIDENCE CARDS Turn any session into a share card with the word, timestamp, and timeline — perfect for posting your spookiest moments. Premium removes the watermark for clean, high-resolution shares. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY Ghost Talker is an entertainment and storytelling app. It does not detect real ghosts, spirits, paranormal activity, hidden devices, electromagnetic fields, or anything in the physical world. All words, events, readings, prompts, and AR overlays are generated locally by the app for fun, atmosphere, and fictional session journaling. Please use it for parties, ghost-hunting style play, and creative storytelling — not as a real measuring or detection tool. Terms of Use (EULA): https://tuse.app/terms.html
