Ghost-Detecting Device? That's the Spirit

If you believe in the unseen, take a look at this. It's a ghost-finding gadget that hunts for our friendly and ominous intruders. Take it from Gadget Grrl -- who used it, and found the experience interesting to say the least -- it could be handy when staying in strange hotels. Plus, with the Photoshop Elements 6 program, you can organize and morph your photos into marketing tools.

GhostRadar $20.99 Strapya-world.com

If you are a mobile executive then you may have had to stay in some "interesting" hotel rooms.

One of the hottest things in Japan right now is a small, device called a GhostRadar detector.

The device is based on mathematical, meteorological and technological calculations. There is a large, white, button on top that when pressed searches for a ghost, or physically undefined object.

The device will beep and emit several different colors, blue, green, lavender etc., before landing on one.

After pressing the button, if it beeps repeatedly and turns red, then there is something, (or someone) in the room with you. There is also a safe mode in case you do come across something. The manufacturer advises that you keep pressing the top button until it enter safe mode and claims that the device will then emit a barrier of protection and all this for a mere $20.99.

My own experience with the device was interesting.

I had it at a TV station in Baltimore. I held it up and suddenly it started beeping repeatedly and turning red. After I explained what the device was for, one of the camera persons told me that the building used to be a bottling plant and that a man had died on the assembly line where I was standing.
