Not a radar dot. Not a stick figure. Photograph the room. The ghost is in the picture. Then ask it how it died. You photographed an empty room. Haunted is a ghost camera for iPhone. The haunted photo that comes back is not always empty. It was already in the room. Not a sticker. Not a filter menu. An apparition in your light, your grain, your blur — as if the shutter opened on someone who had been standing there the whole time. HUNT Point the camera at the chair nobody was sitting in, the doorway you walked past, the room your friends swear was vacant. Photograph a place, not a person. The plate takes its time. The develop is the scare. Not every frame is occupied — and when one is, you will know. LISTEN Hold the mic. Ask it how it died. Ask it what it wants. The spirit box listens in the same room and may answer — or stay silent. Fiction only. Some of them have names. SEND Your roll remembers every plate. Share the evidence. Show someone. They won’t believe the room was empty. A paranormal hunt you can take into any room. No ads. Three hauntings on install. All apparitions are AI-generated visual effects. For entertainment only. We never claim real paranormal activity. SUBSCRIPTIONS & PACKS Keep your haunting active. Fair use applies. • Monthly Haunting — 1 month • Annual Haunting — 1 year • Summon Pack (5) — five extra hauntings (one-time) Prices are shown in the app and on the App Store purchase sheet, and may vary by location. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
