A great example of how technology has made things easier is the fact that most things can be done with the help of some of the other mobile application. First, we had websites for our smallest of needs, now we have apps. Apps gain popularity faster than websites. There are those who help you to kill time and those that make your life easier. There are also the weird, spooky ones.
We use the GPS locations, via apps like WhatsApp to track our friend’s location. But there are beings, or so some of us believe, which can’t be tracked because of the simple reason that they don’t carry such devices. They go by various names such as ghosts, paranormal beings, spirits, and the list just goes on. If you are also a daredevil on the hunt for such beings, here’s a list that will appeal you.
What Is Ghost Hunting?
Ghost hunting is the activity of trying to find out locations which are thought to be haunted by ghosts. This adventure was or still is supported by the use of various equipment and techniques ranging from people trying to summon them by the use of prayers or chants to the use of compass and EMF (Electromagnetic Field) meter. Now all of this is replaced by phone apps, most of which satisfy all the needs.

The graph is a big plus since it accommodates many indicators together with different colors.
Wrapping UP!!!
None of the apps give any guarantee about the accuracy of their readings or predictions. Nor do they give any sort of warranty.
A big negative for all of these apps is that none of the things they claim to show have been scientifically proven. And all of the above apps include the disclaimer in their app description saying the same thing.
That doesn’t deter the curious minds, though. Despite all of that, many people strongly believe in such stuff. These apps are used widely by enthusiasts and research personnel to detect ghost activity in their neighborhood. More and more people are trying to add more and more features to the existing apps to get more and more accurate in detecting spooky activity. So install them and get investigating.
