spirit box

Paranormal communication device

A spirit box is a device used in paranormal investigation that rapidly scans radio frequencies, producing bursts of white noise and audio fragments.

Believers claim spirits can manipulate these sounds to communicate words or phrases.

The device became popular through ghost-hunting television shows: We set up the spirit box in the abandoned asylum and asked if anyone was present.
