What We Cover:

In this episode of Charlie Checks the Tech, part of the Paranormal Playback podcast, host Charlie dives into the Ovilus, a popular yet controversial tool seen in ghost hunting shows like Ghost Adventures and Kindred Spirits. Often touted as a way for spirits to speak through technology, the Ovilus generates words based on environmental changes like EMF, temperature, and pressure. Charlie explores its various modes (Dictionary, Phonetic, Touch/Thermal, and White Noise), and questions its scientific reliability, transparency, and repeatability. With a skeptical yet open-minded tone, she explains how confirmation bias and emotional language can trick investigators into believing random words are meaningful messages from the dead. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this episode delivers a critical, entertaining, and informative take on one of the paranormal world’s most misunderstood gadgets. Perfect for fans of ghost hunting tech, EVP tools, and paranormal reality TV.
