Paranormal Investigation Equipment & Applications
"...I often get asked about the equipment and applications that I use on TV and in the course of my paranormal investigations. The main questions people ask me are where can I purchase them from? or how do I use them? As I have amassed so much equipment and used so many different applications over the years, I wanted to share the sources with you and help spread the word to support my friends and their businesses. I have therefore listed my favourite ITC applications, creators, manufacturers and distributors of
paranormal equipment on this page." - Barri Ghai

ITC Applications
SpiritWave is a pioneering ITC application created by Barri Ghai that allows spirits to manipulate a huge database of electronic vocalisations to provide us with potentially intelligent and meaningful responses. This application is powered by the incredible Alice ITC algorithm and has been designed by VoodHu Creative and Joanne Saul, the Alice Box creator.
The application is now available on both the App Store and Google Play Store worldwide. Join the SpiritWave Facebook Group to keep up to date with all developments and the launch of SpiritWave.
Joanne Saul, Creator of the Alice Box shares her thoughts on SpiritWave
"...SpiritWave has been carefully created by an extensive team of specialists over a long period of time with the express purpose of providing an atmospheric and immersive hi tech application - a truly compelling experience - which people can use on their own mobile devices, to hopefully make direct and meaningful contact with spirit..."
"...Barri is a driven, considerate and committed paranormal tech expert/investigator who constantly pushes boundaries in order to establish communication with those inhabiting other realms..."
"...He wants to share the unique and special experience of spirit contact with the wider community too, and so he committed to the production of his own device to help deliver this vision..."
"...The Alice Box (application and hardware) team were approached and agreed to share the successful internal coding algorithms that she has been using unaltered since 2013. The result is a visually stunning and incredibly well performing audio signal ITC application which will shortly be available to all..."
"...The design and build was carried out by the amazing VoodHu Creative team, working and location testing tirelessly - and who have been responsible for the Alice Box transition to mobile application from PC program. SpiritWave takes the best aspects of all “ghost box” devices and is driven at its core by the Alice mojo!.."
"...I am delighted to have supported the birth of this new device and feel sure that it will provide a great deal of satisfaction (and revelation) to a great many who share a common interest in this unique and special field. I can’t wait to see who we will meet..."
Barri Ghai - Creator of the SpiritWave Application.
"...I have used many ITC applications over the years and consider some of them to be an ideal way to communicate with intelligent, consciously aware spirits and elemental energies. A few years ago, I had a wave of inspiration and wanted to develop a new application that provided spirit with a much clearer and less ambiguous method of Instrumental Trans-Communication. Ideally I wanted an ITC application that gave the user more control, provided clearer responses and worked well in all paranormal investigation scenarios on and off screen. Having used the Alice Box ITC device and it's application successfully on Help! My House is Haunted, I knew that this algorithm was unique and really did work on a psychokinetic level. Some of the responses I have gathered over the years from Alice have blown my colleagues and I away. I therefore wanted SpiritWave to be powered by the mighty influence of Alice..."
"...SpiritWave has thus been created through a strong collaboration project with Joanne Saul, the creator of the Alice Box and VoodHu Creative spearheaded by the talented design maestro Mat Howlett..."
"...I'm absolutely thrilled with how the application has turned out. It has far exceeded my expectations and looks, sounds and responds better than I could ever have imagined. That's the power of three. Three creative minds, three passions and a complete dedication to bringing a concept and dream to reality..."

Other Recommended ITC Applications
EchoVox
EchoVox is an ITC application that uses multiple banks of phonetic sounds to generate intelligent responses. Spirits are said to be able to manipulate these electronic sound forms to form full words and even sentences thereby communicating with the user. Using the application is fairly easy and I prefer to use both the shuffle and random function when sweeping. The application uses 6 channels of random phonetic banks and also 4 sound banks. The responses are therefore randomly generated but somehow this application produces incredible results during any investigation.
Necrophonic
Necrophonic is an ITC app used for spirit communication and EVP research. The app uses 8 sound banks to produce words and sounds in response to the users direct questions. The audio itself is made up of phonemes, partial words, reverse audio, foreign languages, and other parts of speech that can help spirits communicate. Besides some basic phonetic sounds such as na, no, da, do, di, ma, may, etc. there are no real words of phrases contained in the banks. These sounds banks play in a similar way to that of my other app "Spiritus Ghost Box" but instead of 4 sound banks Necrophonic has 8 active sound banks.
This app does contain Echo and Reverb audio effects which many investigators claim to be the best effects to apply to ITC sessions.
Paranormal Equipment
"Paranormal investigations should be fluid, responsive and reactive, therefore the use and application of paranormal equipment during any investigation, should also be flexible, and respond to the situation and type of investigation, your location and ultimately intention. I personally adapt to each case once I know what I am dealing with. However, in some situations, where prior evidence, knowledge or experiences are limited, it is vital to just go with your experience and gut instinct. Paranormal Equipment is designed to either identify or communicate with spiritual entities. The devices available today are plentiful and many do the same jobs and can cost anything from a few pounds to thousands. Always do your research before you buy and shop around."
"...Most of the technology and ghost hunting equipment that I use on Help! My House is Haunted are forms of ITC or Instrumental Trans Communication devices or applications. ITC is the technique of contacting spirits using any electronic means, whether to capture the images of spirits, to record their voices, or, more lately, have them directly influence modern electronic equipment in order for them to communicate with us..."
The Spirit Box
The Spirit Box is one of my favourite pieces of paranormal investigation equipment. The device I prefer to use is actually a unique build by Infraready and sweeps through radio frequencies quickly. Spirits are said to be able to communicate with us through the white noise.
Digital Voice Recorder
My favourite tool. I use a digital dictation device that records audio, but I use it to specifically capture disembodied voices or forms of EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomena. These are Ghost Voices!
HexCom
Is an ITC device. It has been designed as a Word bank for spirits to use in order to communicate with us electronically.
The HexCom uses it’s built in EMF meter to enable spirits to select words from a database of over 2,000. It’s similar to the Alice Box or Ovilus and has been featured on Help! My House is Haunted and Celebrity HELP! My House is Haunted.
Alice Box
My favourite ITC word bank device. According to it's creator Joanne Saul, there are over 9,000 words included in the very unique algorithms contained within the Alice Box software.
Spirits are said to be able to externally influence the electronic circuitry within the device therefore selecting a word from its internal dictionary. The Alice Box then announces these words and displays them on screen.
The Alice Box has proven to be remarkably accurate and relevant during our paranormal investigations. The chances of the various words and phrases which the device has output being selected at random are astronomically small!
Its consistency and relevance has been truly breath-taking during use on the show and she continues to amaze us all. It’s not uncommon for Alice to give us actual names which have strong verifiable connections with the location or case being investigated.
Haunted Trigger Ghost Lamp with Rem Field & Vibration Sensor
Trigger Ghost Lamps are created by hand and aesthetically aged to be used as interactive trigger objects in paranormal research. Each contains environmentally activated sensors that are used in the research of paranormal activity. The light displays and sounds can, in turn, be used to converse with entities, who, many believe, can interact with many kinds of energy, including EMF and Electrostatic in addition to movement and vibration.
Mechanical Haunted Music Box, Motion Activated, Paranormal Tool
The top of the box has the metal musical box movement (which is surface mounted), a metal On/Off rocker switch and a red LED indicator to show when the device is activated. The top is also decorated with metal cogs and studs for added charm. When the sensor on the front side of the box picks up movement it will trigger the mechanical movement which will not only rotate playing a haunting tune, it will also illuminate in a flickering ghostly green light from within the movement. The box opens on metal hinges and has a small metal clasp lock. Once open you will find the battery box set within a crushed velvet covering.
