Scotsman: New Gadget from Japan Hailed as Ghost Detector
Fri 1 Apr 2005: The Japanese company that launched popular computer data storage units shaped like rubber ducks and sushi started selling a new product today – a ghost detector. SolidAlliance’s portable GhostRadar beeps and flashes red lights in response to unusual magnetic waves. It also reacts to body heat and perspiration detected by a sensor where users place their thumbs...The device may beep as often as once an hour in a place that’s haunted, but might fall silent in other spots, SolidAlliance Vice President Yuichiro Saito said. He wouldn’t elaborate on how it worked. “This detects invisible phenomena and so the system is confidential,” he said. “This is not a game. This is a measuring device.”

hmm, I wonder if such a thing is needed.

Personally, [and seriously], I have come into contact with 3 spirits, all of which were family, whether a "detector" is necessary is very questionable. I would imagine those who have passed away only make themselves seen/felt when they wish to do so.

Though there are theories that certain ghosts are unwilling bound to areas and have no choice but to re-enact their gruesome fates.

A few FG ghosts:

OnlyIdol: Haunted Places in Japan

Atsugi Naval Air Base - BEQ 985 - The spirit of a young man is often seen wandering from room to room. Believed to be the ghost of a marine that was killed in a car accident in the 1960’s.

Iwakuni - Barracks 1687 Room 301 - A Marine living in that room a few years ago committed suicide. In a drunken rage the Devil Dog broke the mirror in his room and slit his wrists with the broken pieces. From Marines checking in and out of that room since then, late at night if you look at the mirror you can see a Marine staring at you from the mirror.

Okinawa - Camp Hansen - Gate #3 - Every weekend at night a soldier dressed in WWII gear, with blood all over his fatigues, a cigarette in his hand, and would ask the gate guard the same thing. “Gotta light?” Usually, the MP would light the cigarette for the soldier. As soon as it was lit, the GI would disappear. Update: this gate is closed because of this haunting; they had problems keeping a Japanese Sentry at this gate.

AK,
Can you ascertain if that is a beep, beep, or a meep, meep. This is very important because it will determine if your spirit is a road runner or not!

Hmm.. I missed this when it was first posted, I would have linked to an article I wrote on how to build your own magnetometer.

Extra magnets to hide around the house, not included.
