Pocket ghost detector may be as hard to find as its targets (update: details)
Let's get this out of the way: ghost detection is based on junk science. It's trying to prove something that's unprovable almost by definition, using theories that have little connection to the real world. But if you are going to chase phantoms, you might as well have the best technology at your disposal, right? GhostArk certainly thinks so. It's developing a pocketable ghost detector that supposedly has everything you need to track down supernatural beings, including an electromagnetic field meter, high-sensitivity microphones, radio frequency sweeping and sensors for both atmospheric pressure and temperature. Think of it as an audio recorder on steroids -- you can even add white noise to "bolster the spirits' strength." It's a clever concept, even if none of its findings would stand up under academic scrutiny.
Who ya gonna call? Solid Alliance.
We know Solid Alliance makes some zany crap, and it's not like we'd really put it past them to bust out something so absurd as a supernatural phenomena detection kit -- which the did last year. But once wasn't enough; they've teamed up with Hong Kong firm Akkord International on a parapsychology device laboratory to produce a full array of "ghost radar" products to help you bust that slimer that's been keeping your kids up all night. If there were streams here we'd recommend they not be crossed -- not ever.
