Point your phone into the dark and see what it finds. Ghost Camera is an SLS-style ghost-hunting camera made for entertainment: a full-screen viewfinder with a live paranormal HUD, eerie words, a clicking Geiger-style soundtrack, and spooky camera effects. Take it to a sleepover, a night walk, or wherever the lights flicker. POINT IT INTO THE DARK Everything on screen follows a restless spirit-strength meter. The LED bar creeps from green to red, the clicks come faster, and every so often a word drifts over the image — COLD. WATCHING. BEHIND YOU. ENTITY TRACING When a human-shaped figure enters the frame, Ghost Camera traces it with a glowing skeleton, colored by the current spirit strength. If you've watched paranormal TV, you know the look. Recording video with the skeleton on is part of Pro. CAMERA FILTERS & EFFECTS Four looks for that found-footage feel: a green Glow FX, a heat-map style Heat FX, grainy VHS FX, and the color-shifted Spectrum FX (VHS FX and Spectrum FX come with Pro). They're visual filters over your device's normal camera — pure entertainment, no special hardware involved. CAPTURE AND SHARE Photos and videos come out exactly like the screen: HUD, effects, words and traced figures baked right in, with an optional location tag. The built-in gallery keeps your captures together, and the logbook remembers every word — when it appeared, how strong the signal was, what the sensors were doing. LIVE SENSOR DASHBOARD Your device's real sensors, one spooky screen: magnetic field, acceleration, pressure and gyroscope, each with its own history graph, plus a live compass. GHOST CAMERA PRO Pro removes the ads, unlocks the premium effects, lets you record video with the tracking skeleton, drops the watermark, and opens the full wordbank. You can subscribe or buy it once and keep it forever — the app shows each option with its name, duration and price before you decide. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. FOR ENTERTAINMENT One thing said plainly: Ghost Camera is for fun. The readings, words and detections are generated by the app and aren't evidence of anything paranormal — reflections, posters, coats and screens can all set it off. Investigate, don't assume.

HauntKeep turns your phone's real sensors into a kit of paranormal investigation instruments: SLS, an EMF meter, a spirit box, an EVP recorder, a vibration geophone, and more. Built for atmosphere, curiosity, and a good scare. Every reading has a source, and the app shows it. A number on screen traces back to a sensor in your phone, with the steps behind it on the same screen: the live input, the baseline it is measured against, and the math in between. Values the app fetches or works out are labeled that way: the day's space weather and local conditions are fetched, and the moon phase is worked out from the date. A mode that needs hardware your phone doesn't have says so and stops. What a reading means is yours to decide. Every mode says which kind it is: REAL for the ones that measure a physical signal, EXPERIENCE for the ones built for mood and story, on the tile, before you open it. Both kinds show their working. THE INSTRUMENTS: each reads a sensor on your phone • EMF Meter: your phone's real magnetometer, with a live baseline, a standard-deviation gauge, and space-weather (Kp) context so you can see when the field leaves your room's normal. • EVP Recorder: records the room to WAV with markers, then plays it back with a waveform, spectrogram, variable speed and a high-pass filter. • Sound: a live level meter and FFT spectrogram of the room. • Vibration: a geophone that turns your accelerometer into a seismograph for taps and footsteps. • Shadow: place your phone and watch for luminance and motion changes. • Dowsing Rods: two rods swung by real changes in magnetic heading. • Vision: a low-light camera enhancer. • SLS: a pose-estimation skeleton overlay on the live camera. THE EXPERIENCES: interpretive, and each names what drives it • Dictionary: a word engine driven by live field readings. • Phonetic (Spirit Box): a synthesized voice sweep; the field sets how busy it is, and the words come from the app's own bank. • Radio Sweep: a sweep across live internet radio. • Music Box, Morse, REM Touch, Talking Board, Draw, White Noise, and a live multi-sensor Investigation camera. SESSIONS • Record a baseline sweep so spikes are measured against your room's own normal. • A cross-mode timeline lines up every mode's events on one ruler and flags moments when two or more independent sensors fire within the same 2 s window. • Tag a session with real environmental context: weather, sunrise/sunset, moon phase, and the space-weather Kp index (optional; uses approximate location). • Export a session as a clean report or a shareable zip. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Yours alone: no accounts, no ads, no trackers, no analytics SDKs. • Your recordings, photos, and notes stay on your device. • The one thing that ever leaves your phone is an approximate, rounded location, sent to a weather service when you tap to add environmental context. • Deleting the app removes all of its data. FREE TO EXPLORE Free to install, with the EMF meter and the Talking Board fully open: no time limit and no ads. The whole investigation layer is free too: sessions, the baseline sweep, the cross-mode timeline and environmental context. One optional purchase opens the remaining modes and lets you take a case file away: PDF reports, session bundles and CSV export. Pay once; there is no subscription. WHAT TO EXPECT The instruments read your phone's real sensors, and every value arrives with the steps behind it. HauntKeep is an entertainment app, not a scientific, medical, or safety instrument, and it makes no claim about what its readings mean. What those readings mean is left entirely to you. It contains paranormal and mild-horror themes and is intended for a general (not young child) audience. Grab a friend, turn out the lights, and go ghost hunting.
