Ghost Radar is an portable application designed to detect paranormal activity developed by SpudPickles. Currently supported portable devices include the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Android devices.
Ghost Radar attempts to detect paranormal activity by using various sensors on the device on which it is running. Like traditional paranormal detecting equipment Ghost Radar employs sensors that measure electromagnetic fields, vibrations, and sounds.
However, traditional paranormal equipment can be easily fooled when simple mundane bursts of normal electromagnetic fields, vibrations and sounds occur.
Ghost Radar sets itself apart by analyzing the readings from sensors giving indications only when interesting patterns in the readings have been made.
Note : Screenie is based on device running on Android and the videos below are based on IPhone running GhostRadar.
Ghost Radar employs a proprietary algorithm to analyze the quantum flux. This application does NOT detect EMF nor gravity. Readings for various sensors are analyzed to detect QUANTUM Fluctuations. Interpretations of the sensor readings are displayed graphically as blips on the radar along with numeric and textual readouts on the VOX.
Use your Ghost Radar to hunt for odd changes in the flux. Hunters of all types may find anomalous areas of their environment where readings simply can't be explained. You be the judge. Are the results of your hunting evidence of paranormal activity?
The theory of what is happening is that intelligent energy can be made aware of their ability to influence the sensors of the mobile device. The various readouts are an interpretation of certain readings from the sensors. An intelligent energy should be able to influence the readouts and communicate with you.
What those readings mean and how you interpret them is up for debate......
Here are a few real life Ghost Radar stories FYI

Thu, 01/28/2010 - 22:30 — jjones February 14, 2010 Okay so we were at Barnes & Noble and we were looking at Ghost Books and we were looking at this book, the radar found words. The words were: Atlantic and England. The book said Atlantic on the cover and inside it said it was printed in London (which is in England). We will upload a picture of the book. So we thought that the spirit was telling us not to get the book, so we said that out loud not meaning to ask as if it was a question. So as soon as Iniko said that, the radar immediately replied, "Exactly." How creepy is that? We don't yet know what that means...but we will find out.
Later we asked, "What is your name?" the radar replied, "Bill." With the capital B and everything! We tried to ask the last name, but it only said mood. We're confused about this too, but we know his name is Bill. Haha.
Chloe thought there was a cold spot on her notebook, and when she said that the page moved. After the page flipped then the radar said, "Page." and Iniko asked, "Where are you?" It said, "You All." Which probably means that the spirit was near us or something like that. That could've caused the cold spot. A couple minutes later, the cold spot moved somewhere else.

January 30, 2010 First off, I had to get comfortable with the device. Easy. I've learned that the app simply shows what is perhaps present rather than trying to conjure up spirits (assuming you believe in the supernatural---which I have come to believe!).
I could tell many stories, but I'll pick a couple. First off, my radar is most active between midnight and 2 am.
I travel often late at night, and I keep my radar on most of the time. There is a spot on a particularly lonely stretch of highway. A historical marker is in place in this area. The past four times that I've passed the landmark, the screen suddenly lights up with red and yellow colors. Sometimes this happens right before I get to the landmark, and sometimes after. But, thus far, i've always seen glitches on the screen. Nothing in particular has been vocalized; at least nothing I've noticed.
Also, I write poetry (I try anyway!). I keep my iPhone beside me on it's doc on the desk. I will often run the radar for a lengthy period while writing. Two times in the midst of my writing, the otherwise silent radar has stated "poetry" and the first time it spoke once more and stated "pen". I sat still as a zombie, not frightened but amazed. No fortune telling thus far, but at least it acknowledges what I am doing (and claims it as poetry!). Maybe the only acknowledgment I ever receive, but hey! They know the facts...at least I am told.

January 1, 2010 - Within a 5 or so minute period while my wife had this app running, I had made a bottle of chocolate milk for my son (shaking it), and I was watching a survival episode of "Bizarre Foods" in which the host was hunting for food. He said something which I found hilarious and I laughed at and then relayed to my wife. In this time the app had said my first name, shake, hunt, my middle name, and laugh. My other son was in the room as well, and his name is Hunter. The word "hunt" may have been referring to him or the tv show.
The first time we used it it said king when King of the Hill came on and then started saying things like examine and decide (we were testing it to see if we wanted our son to mess around with it).
The other day my mother-in-law wanted to try it and it named a man at work that she was dreading dealing with the next day. A few minutes later I called my wife from work and she said as the phone rang it said "husband" and during our conversation it said "love" and a few other things related to our conversation.
I've got to say that this app is damn freaky, especially now that it is calling me by name.

December 31, 2009 - This week I decided to spend it with my cousin, her children are constantly saying that they see Grampa and he's still here. We sat down to watch Ghost Hunter and I remembered that i had Ghost Radar on my iPod, Determined to see if I could turn her skeptical husband into a believer I got my iPod and turned it on. The TV was still on so i put it on low sensitivity. After a few minutes i got the word "lungs." I look to my cousin and whisper didn't Harold die of Lung cancer. A few minutes later I got "Soldier." Harold was indeed a soldier and he died of lung cancer. The only two words spoken at the time and both fit with what the kids say they see all the time. Harold's ashes are in this house, so we were certain he was here before we even started but to get such accurate results, was amazing. The youngest child got really scared and the ghost radar stopped completely until she was in bed. The oldest boy and I were sitting on the couch. He told me Grampa's by the door in the kitchen so i set the radar on the table and left it. We were sitting on the couch just listening when were heard tapping on a can. upon reviewing the what was detected at that time which was 10:08 I found that right around that time a red signal was detected and there was a sharp drop on the graph that runs under the numbers. If there was a shred of doubt in my mind there no longer is and as for my cousins husband, Im sure he is rethinking things too.

November 22, 2009 - Last week my son & I watched the eagles vs cowboy game and we had ghost radar on. Well my oldest son is in the navy and was a flag bearer at that game. Ghost radar promptly said William, philadelphia, henry, then cheese..... My oldest sons name is william and he was at the eagles game in philadelphia! The screen then shot to a Philly cheese when gr said cheese. Lastley we were watching the game in the room where uncle Henry passed away in. I think this was more than just a coinsidence (insert twilit zone music) we love the app!

I switched my trip speedometer thing quickly back to zero and when I arrived at the funeral location it read exactly 1 mile. By the way, my friend's dad's name.........Richard.

November 1, 2009 - The other day, half an hour after I got the app I was trying to figure out how to better adjust the settings. When I finally got them set to what I figured were good settings.....all of a sudden I started getting different blips. I thought, "well, maybe this is just a gag app and it was going to give me random words." Then, it started popping up with the words "outside, oil, car, fix, filter." I thought to myself how weird it was considering I didn't have my I-pod touch with me when I was outside before I had come in and had just turned the ghost radar on only to have it say these words, because moments before; I was indeed outside and had just checked my oil, put a new breather filters in my car, and had tightened down my crankshaft bolts in hopes of fixing my car, which had been sputtering for a few days and needed new filters, 3 days before that I had put oil in it and replaced the air filter. I didn't have the app when I started working on my car 3 days prior. Tonight, I was outside facing my street when several different blips showed up then quickly disappeared, suddenly it spouted of the words "Johnson, tree, outside, exercise, forward." Moments later, a neighbor with the last name Johnson; came outside with her dog which promptly walked to a tree nearby, then to the street and down the street trying to run as if in need of exercise, forward of me is where they passed me from where I was standing. I had to come back in because it was cold outside.

October 21, 2009 - Me and my friends family really enjoy going to haunted places and doing investigations. The ghost radar app is succesful in proving its own authenticity at every location i use it at. I recently spent the weekend at the famouse thomes house in red boiling springs tennessee. me and my friend stayed in room 37 the first night, and the story is, is that a little girl named sara stayed and died in that room of a stomach disease. The second night a paranormal team was staying their and they offered us the chance to tag along. In onne of the first rooms, we congtacted a spirit that responded to our wishes (taps) and we promised we would leave if it did. After it tapped we did leave and all of asuden the ghost radar popped up red orbs all around with the words, get, out, and attack. needless to say we left the room lol. The main activity the ghost radar caught was a 30 min conversation with sara in the downstairs confrenece room. Immediatly when someone would mention sara and katie in the same sentence it would pop up with multiple orbs and anwser our questions. We asked if sara wanted to play and it responded immediatly with a yes.(sara did move a ball later in the night in room 37). The grand finale is when the ghost radar wasnt detecting anything then all of a suden, it spelled KYLE in the bottommright corner withh no extra letters... my name is kyle. The morning we were checking out we asked the owner if she had any relation to a "Katie", it was here mom. The owner said that her mom was very protective over here grandsons that both work and live at the thomas house. She is particularly protedctive of daryll, daryll's room was about 5 feet from the confrence room.
Thanks for making an app that works for the paranormal field, Kyle

August 25, 2009 - On 08/18/09 my brother James passed away and ghost radar was on. When he took his last breath the radar screen filled up with blips. There were many spirits in the room which help him cross over. I will keep the ghost radar on from time to time. My brother is there with our dad and mom. Most of the time I see 3 blips together, I think it is my mom, dad and brother looking over me.

August 12, 2009 - ...my neighbor came over, the radar detected blips as he entered, when he sat down, the words "four, fingers, enemy, mean" then all the blips and activities vanished until he left. My neighbor has only four fingers (one lost in job accident, and many say he can be a bit mean and grumpy). Also, I tend to get names, like Richard at my apartment, and at my moms house, There is a man by the name of Paul, and another named John. There have been responses to questions I've asked. Just now as I type this, I got the words "herself" (i'm alone by myself and yes I am female) "bottle" as I have a bottle of water with me. The bottle seemed to be squeezed tight making a crunched noise. It said "squeeze". I asked if it was squeezing the bottle. It responsed with "hard". Strange... It seems to communicate with me best when I'm alone. I allow the app to run for longer periods of time so that I can catch more accurate readings. Please feel free to respond back to me as I would love to hear from you, and maybe hear some of your experiences using your own app. Thanks again!
