What We Cover:

In this episode of Charlie Checks the Tech on Paranormal Playback, Char takes a critical look at Spirit Boxes, popular ghost-hunting tools used to detect paranormal activity by scanning AM/FM radio frequencies. Also known as ghost boxes or polter pods, these devices create bursts of static and audio fragments that some believe allow spirits to communicate. Char explains the science and psychology behind why people hear voices, touching on audio pareidolia, confirmation bias, and radio interference. She shares expert tips for using Spirit Boxes more effectively, such as fast sweep rates, recording sessions, and pairing results with other paranormal data. While not dismissing them entirely, Char urges ghost hunters to use these devices with skepticism, context, and careful documentation.
