Some claim to monitor EMF frequencies to point you to spirits.
Some say they translate ambient noise into ghost speech.
Some say they use your phone cameras LIDAR sensors to find the supernatural.
Some are just like, yeah, wetotallysee ghosts around you.
Theyre all labeled for entertainment purposes only, but I wanted to know if they actually work.
It then translates those sounds into words.
GhostDetectorHaunted Radar: This app promises it is more accurate and sensitive than any of its counterparts.
Plus, its the best-looking of the ghost apps I downloaded.
It is a legitimately spooky spot.
Heres amap to the haunted picnic table of Griffith Parkif you are brave enough to visit.
Before leaving, I consulted Ghost Hunting Tools for any last minute advice from the spirit world.
An apparently friendly spirit said, Bail and Warning.
Pleased with my message from The Beyond, I set off for the haunted picnic table.
My expectations were high as I approached the isolated corner of the park where the picnic table stands.
This protects the eerie isolation needed for ghost-peeping.
The anticipation was, I admit, pretty scary.
But when the eclipse hit, nothing happened.
There was no spike in EMF fields on my reader.
I tried the other ghost hunting apps Id downloaded and received similar non-results.
Sometimes the unspecified gauges or needles would move, but not in any way I could interpret.
The ghosts said, Reference Fade Market Steel Cord Incorporate Fork Negative.
Among the problems with the ghost-hunting apps I tried is that they dont include instructions.
Theyre basically collections of animated needles that seem to move randomly over gauges with labels like aura.
Youd have to work hard to interpret their results in any way.
Before long, a trio of other amateur paranormal investigators showed up.
They interpreted this as something very spooky, not an indication that the whole thing was a legend.
It is also the site of the most ironic plane crash in history.
The pilot and one passenger were killed instantly.
Surelythoseghosts must be around.
The EVP readings did not come out Mayday Plane Down or anything either.
Just more gibberish and a constant supply of commercials for solitaire games.
I was starting to feel like Id been had.
Final investigation: I actually find a ghost!
The detectors seemed slightly more lively inside than out, but only slightly.
I took them on a tour of my palatial estate and there were no significant readings.
Before giving up entirely, I downloaded this non-ghost-based, seemingly legitimateEMF detector.
The ghost hunting apps I tried did not show a similar spike.
Its a ghostproof of the supernatural.
But maybe I found a ghost that really likes music.
But maybe they have some sophisticated software that separates everyday EMF fields from ghostly apparitions.
Or maybe theres nothing to ghost hunting apps at all.
Nothing supernatural, anyway.
So it was with my experiment.
