Something is in the room with you. Find it. Spirit Box & Ghost Detector turns your iPhone or iPad into a paranormal field kit — a camera radar that reveals apparitions around you, a spirit box that answers your questions, an EMF meter driven by the real magnetometer, and an EVP tape recorder. Every catch is saved to your own case file. CAMERA SCAN — RADAR AND APPARITIONS • Hold up your phone and turn slowly; the radar shows how close the entity is • Apparitions manifest in the live camera view — the closer you get, the stronger they appear • The moment one shows itself, an evidence photo is captured automatically GHOST BOX SB-33 — SPIRIT BOX • AM radio sweep, 530–1730 kHz, with real static and a voice pushed through a radio filter • Tap a question key, or switch on Listen and ask out loud • Every session has its own entity — a name, a mood and its own way of answering • The entity answers in your language: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean or Chinese • Silence is an answer too, and the whole session is saved to a log you can share EMF METER EM-33 • Live readings from the built-in magnetometer in microtesla • Needle dial, K-II style LED ladder, history graph, peak hold and reset EVP RECORDER RX-33 • Ghost tapes that unlock as you catch apparitions • Stereo VU meters and tape deck controls CASE FILE • Every apparition is stored with the time and the EMF reading • Share a photo or a Ghost Box session in a tap FREE AND PREMIUM Ghost Detector is free to play: 20 ghost catches a day, 12 Ghost Box replies a day and the standard entities. Premium removes the limits: • Unlimited ghost scans • Unlimited Ghost Box replies • Every entity, including the rarest ones • Evidence photos without a watermark SUBSCRIPTION • Weekly — $3.99 with a 3-day free trial • Yearly — $24.99 Prices are in US dollars and may vary by region.

Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://thirtythreeapps.com/ios-ghost-detector-privacy-policy FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY Spirit Box & Ghost Detector is a simulation made for fun and for a good scare. Ghosts, spirit box replies and radar contacts are generated by the app. The EMF meter shows real magnetometer values, but the app does not detect real paranormal activity. Rated 13+ for horror themes.

Turn your iPhone into a complete paranormal investigation toolkit. Spirit Boxly combines a live EMF meter, EVP recorder, Spirit Box, field radar, and guided case reports in one dark, field-ready app. Start a session, mark unusual moments, and review sensor readings, audio events, and sweep responses together. RUN A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION Add a location, case name, team members, and notes. Spirit Boxly records magnetic-field samples, motion, audio markers, observations, and Spirit Box responses on one synchronized timeline. LIVE EMF METER Use your iPhone’s magnetometer to measure nearby magnetic-field changes. Set a room baseline, monitor peaks, inspect sensor axes, and look for repeatable anomalies while the phone remains still. EVP RECORDER Capture original audio, watch live levels, mark suspicious moments, and replay recordings around exact timestamps. Recordings and case data remain saved locally on your device. SPIRIT BOX Run controlled static sweeps with adjustable speeds and selectable word banks. Use blind review mode to reduce suggestion, then inspect the timestamped response log. FIELD RADAR Visualize magnetic-vector direction, movement quality, and changes from the room baseline in real time. CASE REPORTS Finish a session to create an organized report containing duration, peak EMF, anomalies, EVP markers, Spirit Box responses, the highest-activity window, and event history. FREE TO EXPLORE The EMF meter and field radar remain free. Free Spirit Box and EVP sessions run for up to three minutes, with one saved investigation. Spirit Boxly Pro is a one-time lifetime unlock for unlimited cases and an ad-free experience. IMPORTANT iPhone sensors can measure magnetic fields, motion, and sound; they cannot scientifically confirm paranormal activity. Spirit Boxly is intended for entertainment and experimental use. Review results critically and account for electronics, movement, and environmental noise.
