Paid $75 for a ghost hunting app and it actually recorded something

I was in my apartment in Chicago last month and kept hearing footsteps upstairs, but I'm on the top floor. I downloaded one of those EMF detector apps for $75, thinking it was a total scam. I left it running overnight and it logged a spike at 3:17 AM, right when my dog started growling at a corner. The weird part is the app showed the spike moving across the room on the graph. I've never believed in this stuff, but now I'm checking the recording every day. Has anyone else had an app pick up something that actually lined up with a real event?

Seventy-five bucks for an app that just tells you your own dog is spooky.

My dog growls at the wall for free, so that app is a real bargain.

Honestly, lucast81 has a point about the dog. Those apps are probably just picking up normal house stuff (wiring, your phone itself) and our brains make the spooky connection after. Still, that timing with the growling is the kind of thing that would freak me out too.

That timing is way too specific to just be a coincidence (even if the app itself is junk). Sometimes you just have to trust the weird stuff.
