What We Cover:

In this episode of Paranormal Playback, Charlie Checks the Tech takes a deep dive into XLS cameras, often seen on shows like Ghost Adventures, and explains how these stick-figure-producing devices actually work. Originally designed for Xbox Kinect gaming, XLS (or SLS) cameras use structured light sensors and infrared grids to map human shapes, but they often misidentify furniture, shadows, and reflections as ghosts. Charlie breaks down the science behind these false positives, explains when the tech might be worth paying attention to, and offers tips for responsible use. It’s a fun, skeptical look at one of ghost hunting’s most misunderstood gadgets.
