Phantom Trace vs GhostLab

Phantom Trace turns your phone into a complete paranormal investigation kit—built for investigators, ghost-hunting teams, and the endlessly curious. Whether you're sweeping an abandoned building, running an overnight at a known haunt, or chasing a story no one else will touch, Phantom Trace helps you capture what happens, keep it organized, and make sense of it afterward. LIVE SENSOR MONITORING Read your device's environmental sensors in real time—electromagnetic field, motion, audio level, barometric pressure, and compass heading—with clean readouts and live min/avg/max tracking. Tag anything unusual the moment it happens. CAPTURE EVIDENCE Document photos, video, and ambient audio with a purpose-built capture overlay, so every piece of evidence stays tied to the case and the moment it was recorded. BUILD A CASE Create detailed investigations: name the location, set the type and priority, schedule sessions, assign your equipment kit, and run solo or with a team. Every reading, photo, and note lands on one case timeline and evidence board. AI-POWERED REVIEW When the session ends, let the built-in analysis surface anomaly scores, patterns, and notable findings across your readings—so you spend less time scrubbing data and more time investigating. MAP THE UNKNOWN Explore an interactive map of haunted locations, sightings, and regional intel, and pin your own GPS-tagged investigation sites. REVIEW THE FULL TIMELINE Trace every event from session start to final evidence review, filter by sensors, evidence, or AI findings, and revisit any case anytime. Phantom Trace is a tool for documenting and analyzing your own investigations. Sensor readings reflect your device's hardware and are intended for investigative and entertainment purposes. Detect. Investigate. Uncover. SUBSCRIPTIONS Phantom Trace Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

This app needs the LiDAR scanner built into iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models. Your iPhone's LiDAR scanner fires a grid of infrared laser dots and times how long each one takes to come back. Spirit Detector draws every one of those measurements where it was taken, so sweeping a dark room builds the room out of light. Walk around and the picture fills in. Walls, furniture, doorways and anything standing in the room arrive as points in mid-air, coloured by how far away they are. Near is warm, far is cold. Nothing is guessed and nothing is drawn from the camera picture: every dot is a distance the scanner actually measured. WHAT YOU CAN DO Sweep a room and watch it build, live, at sixty frames a second. Switch between a drifting sheet of dots and the room as a wire model. Colour by distance with three looks. Freeze the map and walk around what you have captured. Take stills and record video straight to the in-app Library. Save anything to Photos or share it anywhere. REQUIRES A LiDAR SCANNER This app needs the LiDAR scanner built into iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models. There is no software substitute for the sensor, so on other devices it will tell you so and do nothing else. Check your model before buying. FREE FOR 48 HOURS The whole app is free for 48 hours from your first scan. After that, one payment of $4.99 keeps it for good. No subscription, no advertising, and nothing charged again. Nothing here detects, measures or infers anything paranormal, and it does not claim to.
