Ghostbusters Fans member Melnutz just released the Ghost Hunting apps we have all been waiting for! Two new apps were released today for Android mobile devices.
The first is called “Ghost Meter - PKE Detector”, an app that looks a lot like the screen of a PKE Meter which uses the functions of your device to really make it seem like you are holding a PKE Meter in your hands! Turn the app on and the classic green PKE Meter screen appears, tilt your phone up and the lights and sounds increase. There are also options to turn on your camera flash (on supported devices) to make it more interactive.
The second app is called “Ghost Trap”, an app that is basically a Ghost Trap. You open the app and see the familiar caution striping of the doors of a Ghost Trap. Tap the screen and the doors open and suck in a ghastly green ghost. Strobes, lightning bolts and your devices’ vibrate function goes crazy as the trap doors close. Just don’t forget to clean your trap to use it again!
The apps are available in the Android Market. There are two versions of each app, an ad supported app that has all the functions and a $1 version that is ad free. Funds from the apps go to help the creator who had his home flooded during hurricane Irene. Well worth the money!
As someone who also had his home flooded during Hurricane Irene - I live on Long Island right across the street from a canal that opens into the Atlantic - I would definitely make a purchase if I had one of these fancy phones that use apps. I just have a simple pre-paid phone from TracFone.
I had about a foot of water come into my home. Because the water was coming in so fast, and I didn’t know just how high it was going to go, I had to call 911 and be evacuated by boat until the water receded back into the canal/ocean. When I was able to return a few hours later, I was able to tell just how high the water got by looking at the water markings on some cardboard boxes I had sitting on the floor - the contents of which were completely ruined (as you could surmise).
Luckily, my landlord will take care of damage to the house - and I thank God that the damage wasn’t as bad as some of the unfortunate souls I see on the news who live in New Jersey and upstate New York. That said, the water ruined lots of valuable personal property, including (but not limited to) high-profile magazines and comic books from the early 1980s. Sadly, my insurance doesn’t cover flood damage, so I’m left to my own resources to replace my damaged property. I’m currently going through everything I own and seeing what I’m willing to part with in the hope that selling it on my site will get me some money with which to recoup some of my losses. (I’m avoiding selling it on eBay as I want to avoid the excess fees. PayPal fees are enough to deal with.) I have a bunch of stuff on my site already, including a lot of the Spook Central 15th Anniversary patches that have remained unsold, but I’m going to be adding LOTS more as soon as I can go through everything I own and take photos and type up descriptions and the such. Then I just have to hope and pray that there will be people who’ll buy the stuff I’m offering. Since I haven’t sold that many Spook Central patches, it doesn’t look good that I’ll get much money from all of this effort, but I have to try.
Melnutz and tardis 59, y’all should have a little private chat and help port the others apps. My romie has an iphone and I an android, so I’ve seen all these apps in action they are all awesome.
I’ll be using them this Halloween.
