GhostLab is a complete paranormal investigation toolkit for iPhone and iPad, built for night hunts. ONE HOME, SIX INSTRUMENTS MODES • EMF. DMP-style meter with green-to-red bars, recalibration, and radar view. • EVP. Clean microphone capture, plus presets for White Noise, Magnetic MEVP, Phonetic bursts, and DR60-style lo-fi. • Spirit Box. Rapid scan-style carrier mixed with your mic. • Spirit Speak. Ask aloud and watch experimental replies condense out of dead-channel static on the analog-footage screen, timestamped like recovered tape. ITC, not a conversation with the dead. • Spirit Music Box. Multi-sensor chime reacting to EMF, motion, and proximity anomalies. • SLS. ARKit stick-figure tracking that records the camera feed: figures and captions burned into the video, your microphone on the soundtrack. Recording survives locks and interruptions. Saving is instant. A12 or later. Pro, with a free trial. CREATOR MODE (PRO) Arm Creator, investigate in any mode, and a rolling 60-second screen plus mic buffer captures the moment. • Edit and Share. Export the last 60s into the in-app clip editor. • Trim, mute/volume, 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 crop, watermark, captions, speed, freeze, color grade, title cards, multi-highlight stitch. • Share to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more. • Clips attach to the session Library for later play, edit, and share. TOOLS FOR THE HUNT • Knock detector, Motion-Grid, Word Burst (Pro) • Estes Method workflow and Vigil overnight counters (Pro) • Team sessions. Offline push-to-talk radio and tag sharing (Pro) • Night Vis, torch, red-light UI, dBA level chips (approximate phone meters) • Verify instruments. Optional pre-session control checks LIBRARY AND EVIDENCE Stop and Save keeps audio, video, tags, notes, transcripts, and clips with each session. Review playback, edit clips, export PDF reports (Pro), and keep investigations organized by location, weather, and investigators. GHOSTLAB PRO Core recording stays free. GhostLab Pro is a one-time unlock, no subscription, for Creator Mode, Spirit Speak, SLS, advanced tools, voice packs, custom word lists, PDF reports, Enhance EVP, and more. Most Pro features include one free try. HONEST BY DESIGN GhostLab is for investigation and entertainment. Sensor tools measure the environment (phones, metal, HVAC, and movement all create hits). Dictionary and spirit-box style features are experimental ITC techniques, not scientific proof of spirits. Always review evidence yourself. Requires iOS 17 or later. SLS requires A12 or newer. Some tools need camera, microphone, motion, location, or local network permission. Guides, the full mode tour, and support: ghostlab.icu

About

GhostSeek

Features
Read full description

Some places feel completely ordinary. Others make you pause, look around, and notice that the atmosphere feels different. GhostSeek is an entertainment app that turns nearby magnetic-field changes into a paranormal-themed scanning experience. Using your iPhone’s built-in magnetometer, it presents changing readings with animated signals and radar-style visuals. Move slowly through a room and watch how the readings respond. Electronics, speakers, power cables, appliances, metal objects, and other sources of interference can make the signal rise, fall, or fluctuate. Use GhostSeek at home, at horror-themed events, or in familiar indoor spaces where you want a mysterious atmosphere. Compare readings in different rooms, test how everyday objects affect the signal, or try a spooky scan with friends nearby. Stay aware of your surroundings. Do not use GhostSeek in restricted, unsafe, or unfamiliar locations. If you feel uncomfortable, stop scanning and move to a secure place. DISCLAIMER GhostSeek is designed for paranormal enthusiasts and supernatural investigation fans who wish to observe unusual magnetic-field readings in their surroundings. The app offers a simulated paranormal scanning experience for entertainment purposes only. It is not a scientific detection tool, professional measuring instrument, safety device, supernatural verification system, or occult/divination service. We assume no responsibility for any use, misuse, decisions, claims, conclusions, or interpretations based on the app, its readings, or its displayed results.
