    You're walking not far from a graveyard at night. Your Android suddenly beeps. You look at it. It reports an ethereal presence 50 yards away to the north-east.

    What it does after that depends on how much you want to risk a lawsuit for scaring someone sh1tless.
    Or an app that uses geolocation data overlaying a map to show white spots slowly moving round cemeteries.

    Nobody who went there would actually see anything, unless they imagined it. But you can't be blamed if the oafs are too insensitive to detect spirits of the departed.

      Bingo!

      Augmented reality app, showing ghostly figures walking about when near to churches, graveyards and famouse haunted houses.

      People would buy that*


      * stupid people, of which there are many.

            I believe gullibility works. The psychics will get a message for someone with "c" or "m" or possibly Euros.

            I think DoggyStyles is on to a winner here though.

            Edit: Oops. I meant xoggoth is on to a winner.

              Probably easier to randomly generate incredibly vague widely applicable predictions directly.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
