AI imagery enters the ghost-hunting conversation

Equipment & culture · UKPX update 3 November 2026

The Guardian revisited AI ghost hunting on 30 October, prompting a fresh look at how these tools produce images. Guardian feature.

GhostTube’s own explanation describes a sequence that starts with a phone’s environmental sensors. The app can monitor magnetic changes, select words from a prepared dictionary and feed those words into an image-generating system. The resulting visual becomes another item for investigators to discuss alongside their notes and recordings.

That makes the image-making process part of the session itself. A useful investigation record can keep the generated picture, the selected words, the time and the surrounding activity together. Looking back through that sequence offers more context than sharing an isolated picture after the event.

The developer’s product page also lists a gallery, low-light video filters and compatibility with its GhostTube Lens headset. Its explanation of how Seer works and current product information are the direct starting points for understanding what the app does.

For UKPX readers, this connects with a familiar practical question: how do you keep a clear record of what happened during an investigation? Our EVP recording guide offers a companion route into recording sessions and preserving the material for later listening. Generated imagery and recorded audio can each be identified by their own source and time within the same investigation log.
