Best Ghost Hunting Apps

Ghost Radar®: CLASSIC

iOS


You don’t need fancy equipment or your own Ectomobile to start tracking, hunting, and busting ghosts. Ghost Radar®: CLASSIC measures ‘quantum fluctuations’ to pick up on paranormal activity. It can even help you communicate with the spirits it detects. Let’s just hope they have nice things to say about you.

Ghost Detector Pro

iOS

If you’re new to ghost hunting, we’d recommend starting with the app above. But if you’re ready to graduate to the big leagues, upgrade to Ghost Detector Pro. It measures movement, records sound, takes pics, creates graphs, and has an electromagnetic field detector to track anomalies. Translation: the ghosts in your attic can’t hide from this bad boy.
