Why do we feel this irresistible need to see the invisible?
I confess that I was once a skeptic: I thought all this "digital ghosts" stuff was just a show. Until one night, while checking my phone before bed, I felt a strange vibration without any notifications. Intrigued, I opened one of those "ghost" apps and, to my utter amazement, a small dot of light began to float across the screen right where my couch was. For a second, I was paralyzed: "Is this just a bug... or am I facing a spirit?" I wondered out loud.
That moment marked a before and after. It was as if the glasses of curiosity had suddenly been removed: I felt a tickle on the back of my neck and I wished with all my might to understand what invisible forces could be surrounding me. Since then, I have been searching for a way to see the spirits In real time, it stopped being simple entertainment and became a personal challenge: to unravel what our eyes cannot perceive and, in the process, discover something new about myself.

Because, deep down, we all carry within us that primitive spark that has driven entire generations to communicate with the unknown: the shamans of distant lands who beat drums to invoke presences, the mediums who spun pendulums to reveal hidden messages, or the first spiritualist photographers of the 19th century who claimed to capture blurred figures in their prints. Today, thanks to the magic of augmented reality technology in cameras, electromagnetic sensors capable of measuring microscopic variations, and ultra-sensitive microphones, that yearning to explore the invisible fits in the palm of your hand. And it is precisely this mix of ancestral mystery and digital possibilities that drives us: we want to savor the thrill of the unknown, question our reality, and—why not?—live the adventure of discovering if something else is watching us.

The evolution of paranormal practices
Throughout history, humankind has sought ways to connect with the unknown, and these techniques have evolved in step with our cultural and technological advances.
1. Ancestral methods
In the most ancient cultures, drums were beaten in circles around the fire, marking the rhythm of ritual dances that opened "doors" between this world and the next. Shamans and priests used polished obsidian mirrors—deep-black volcanic rocks—to project their minds and, they believed, allow spiritual entities to pass through. These ceremonies could last for hours, accompanied by chanting, offerings of aromatic herbs, and symbolic objects such as feathers or bones, in the hope of receiving messages or direct signs from the spirits.
2. Age of photography
In the mid-19th century, the invention of photography opened a new window: in 1862, William H. Mumler astonished the world with images of blurred faces surrounding him, the famous "spiritualist photographs." At first, many believed it was magic or an elaborate fraud; others, proof that souls persisted after death. These photographs drew crowds to seances, where debate raged over whether ghosts could be captured on glass plates.
3. Audio EVP
Moving forward to the 1950s, paranormal researchers began using magnetic tape recorders to capture so-called EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena). After recording supposedly peaceful environments, they played the tapes back at various speeds and through filters, discovering whispers and voices in the static that they attributed to deceased individuals. This was a more accessible method than photography and fueled hundreds of amateur and professional expeditions.
4. Modern technology
Today, all these practices fit in your pocket. Your smartphone's magnetic sensors measure EMF; cameras, supported by augmented reality (AR) libraries, project orbs and silhouettes onto the live image; and mobile apps integrate EVP recording, heat mapping, and data logging. So, for see the spirits In real time, you no longer need expensive laboratories or bulky equipment: just download a free app and go exploring the invisible with your own device.
