On Day 3 of my 13 Days of Halloween, I’m researching ghost hunting apps for my iPhone. Since I’m planning a ghost hunt soon, I need to have the most technologically advanced equipment available to detect these elusive spirits. Most of these apps are available for both iOS and Android operating systems with the exception of the Ghost Detect Pro.
Although there are many ghost hunting apps to choose from, I’ve down-selected these based upon cost and feedback. Some have “pro” versions available for a slight or higher fee, but please check reviews before purchasing. Many of the pro versions didn’t rate as high as their free predecessors.
Ghost Radar Classic
Free with a rating of 3.5 of 5
Using advanced analytics to sense otherworldly activity, this app measures electromagnetic fields, sounds, and vibrations—like many ghost hunting tools do. What sets Ghost Radar Classic apart from the others is that the app interprets and analyzes data, only giving indications when something out of the ordinary is detected. Ghost Radar® also includes a voice to let you know when interesting words have been detected. This is a great introductory app for ghost hunting.
Ghost Detect Pro
$0.99 with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars
This iPhone app is ideal for both amateur and professional ghost hunters. Color-changing graphs alert you to numerous environmental changes, while a radar tracking device notifies you of any irregularities. This app also comes with EVP recording capabilities which takes photos and detects anomalies in them. What’s more, Ghost Detect Pro comes with a state-of-the-art EMF detector, making it a good multipurpose tool for any paranormal investigator.
Ghost Communicator
Free with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars
Ghost Communicator is said to be intended for entertainment use only. However, ghost hunters may find it useful in the field. According to the creator, advanced algorithms were used to create outgoing signals to communicate with ghosts. In turn, the app is capable of receiving any incoming messages from the paranormal as well. It is simple to use, featuring a radar detector and commands that can be accessed with a swipe of the finger. Although reviews are mixed when it comes to whether or not this app actually works, the best way to find out is to test it for yourself!
Ghost Hunter M2
$0.99 with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars
This app includes an EMF detector, EVP recorder, Sensor Sweep instrument, Geoscope instrument, and more. Designed by engineers, Ghost Hunter M2 is a favorite of new and experienced paranormal investigators because it’s easy to use, yet offers all the sophisticated tools ghost hunters need to perform an in-depth paranormal investigation. Like the other apps on this list, Ghost Hunter M2 gives you advanced ghost-hunting tools that fit in your pocket—making the need for clunky, heavy equipment a thing of the past.
iEMF
$0.99 with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars
iEMF detects anomalies in the electromagnetic field, working like an amped-up version of a home security system. With a variety of display options from which to choose, this handy app should be in every paranormal investigator’s toolkit. The Low Pass filter helps sensor out unwanted noise from readings, while the Ambient Mode feature allows you to bypass Earth’s ambient field. The device can be zeroed out to monitor and record changes to the atmosphere. Learning to use all the settings and features may come with a bit of a learning curve but with a little practice you’ll find it simple enough to use.
And, to top all of these, you can also turn your phone into a infrared thermal imager!
And the graveyard!
Lets go try these apps out in the field!!!
