Ghost Com II

A bench instrument. It will ask for your device's magnetometer and, optionally, your microphone. Where no magnetometer exists — most desktop browsers — it runs on a simulated field and says so. It does not detect anything paranormal; it plots signals and logs events.

About Ghost Com II

Ghost Com II

The bench version of Ghost Com, built around your device magnetometer. The field probe shows the total magnetic field in microtesla, the learned ambient baseline, the difference between them, and the X, Y and Z axes separately - the raw readout the simpler meters on this site summarise into one number.

Around the probe sit a CRT field plot, a combined activity meter, a DOS-style diagnostics terminal and a session log you can export. Where the browser exposes only a compass heading, as on iPhone, the probe says so and uses heading instability instead; where there is no sensor at all, it runs on a labelled simulation.

How to use Ghost Com II

  1. Open it on a phone. Ghost Com II is built around the magnetometer, and most computers do not have one.
  2. Power on the bench, then press Probe to start the field probe. Allow motion access if your phone asks.
  3. Hold the phone still away from metal and press Zero. The probe learns the ambient field and reports change from it.
  4. Read the FIELD PROBE panel: total field in microtesla, the learned ambient value, the difference, and the X, Y and Z axes separately.
  5. Choose a mode — Scan, Listen or Session — to add the radio sweep or microphone to the plot, and watch the combined activity meter and the diagnostics terminal.
  6. Start a session to log events, record audio if you want it, and export the log as JSON.

Tips

  • Rotate the phone slowly and watch the three axes trade values. The total stays roughly constant in an even field; a change in the total means the field itself changed.
  • Bring a fridge magnet or a speaker towards the phone to see what a strong local source looks like on each axis.

Questions

What does a three-axis magnetometer show?

The magnetic field broken into three directions relative to the phone: X across the screen, Y along it and Z through it. The total field is the combined length of the three, in microtesla.

What is a normal magnetometer reading?

Earth’s field is roughly 25 to 65 µT depending on where you are. Indoors, steel, wiring and electronics shift that by several microtesla, and a magnet nearby can push it far higher.

Why does my iPhone show a compass heading instead?

Safari exposes the compass heading, not the raw field. Ghost Com II then uses changes in the heading as its measure of disturbance and says so on the panel.

How is it different from the EMF Meter?

The EMF Meter is a simple handheld readout of one number. Ghost Com II is the full bench: raw axes, ambient baseline and difference, a field plot, a diagnostics terminal and a session log you can export.

Does it detect anything paranormal?

No. It plots signals and logs events. Changes in the field come from metal, magnets, electrical equipment and the phone’s own movement.

This is an instrument and a sound tool, provided for entertainment and experiment. It describes what it measures and does not identify the cause of anything it shows.
