Anyone play with this free ap? I downloaded it for my Blackberry, but I hear it's on other phones too.

I'm not the techie type to judge, so thought I'd through it out there for the more scientifically minded to examine.

FYI: I did talk to a friend who used it at the same time as a spirit box. They matched up. We came up with this possible theory: Ghost box works, and something was reading the phone words that showed up. Or, they both work. Or, the phone ap is a randomly generated program meant to be fun, not serious.

I write books. I take pictures.

I've played with my nephew's Ghost Radar on his Ipod and it was interesting. Not something I would use on an investigation to gather evidence.

Yes. I have both Ghost Radar ad iOvilus. I think they are toys and that confirmation bias really comes into play. The only weird thing I ever had was it said, "Jim…Hurt" and I came home after using it and Jim had hurt himself. Other than that – who knows?

I found it interesting that my friend's matched up with her spirit box. I don't think I'd base an investigation off it either, but wondered how they could even get it to work (without programing of course) on a phone.

I have it on my ipod, and it makes me question its validity when it starts randomly spitting out words in the comfort of my non haunted home, and the reason why it would do so….I dont have a haunted location to try it in, but convinced its obviously for entertainment purposes…but too neat to take it off my ipod.

I suppose the spirit box thing… It could be theorized that anything present is reading the ghost radar screen aloud. Or, if spirits can manipulate electronics, they could learn how to use the device. Might be a stretch, but…

Yeah, I think I'm with you. Fun toy to play with.

I used it during an investigation of the "haunted" International Museum of Spriritual Investigation in Gettysburg. Jonathan, who was running the show had his going at the same time. We got different words almost every time but had a couple of words that kept repeating (Mississippi and soldier). We used the dowsing rods for the first time and my husband got absolutely no response whatsoever but when I tried them, I was blown away by them. I think I will start a thread for folks to share their experiences and thoughts on dowsing rods. Oh, yeah, we had my ghost radar running at the same time Jonathan had his ghost box going and we had some interesting words come up thru both. They had meaning for my husband, Mike. I will see if he will post about it since it is a bit personal, it's his call.

We used ghost radar down at the covered bridge with the Dr. and Mrs. Obvious and got some very eery responses with both it and the dowsing rods.

We also had it running when we were down at one of the witness trees and got some words that could have been accurate (blood, resting).

Overall, I think that it is too subjective. It's so easy to remember and "count" the words that apply while dismissing and "discount" those words that don't.

As alway, just my opinion /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />
