I think DoggyStyles is on to a winner here though.

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.

What it does after that depends on how much you want to risk a lawsuit for scaring someone sh1tless.

Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostWell phones have EMF detectors in the sense of the signal strength measurement, so any strange change in signal strength could be a ghost.
Then there is the microphone, so pickup ghost sounds and the camera to "see" ghosts.
So a smart phone and app would make a great ghost hunter device.
I'm sold, when can I buy it?
So all in all, it doesn't detect anything really, just provides hours and hours of poo-inducing fun.
xog, I'm doing all your BA work for you here.

PS.
If it can detect global warming as well, I'd pay double

The only fashion I didnt really like, because it preyed on vulnerable people, was the psychics. getting in touch with the departed. My first missus used to believe in all that stuff, she used to send off to get her horoscope done, cost a bloomimg fortune.
telling ghost stories in the dark in the back shed, and wondering if the ouija board was going to put us in touch with the spirits
Used to tulip myself cycling home afterwards though!
