Gear Specs With Specs: Ghoul Detector 5000

The Ghoul Detector 5000 is a vital part of our ghost-fighting gear collection. Without its unique set of abilities, we definitely wouldn’t be here today. And while it may look a tad janky, I assure you this is top of the line equipment – better than whatever else is on the market. I’ve fashioned the best parts into one high-powered apparition finder. Basically, I’m an all-knowing, all-seeing master ghost hunter with this in my hand. As the mastermind behind this beauty, let me break it down for you real quick.

1. Spectral Danger Meter

If you’ve never had a spectral sighting, you wouldn’t know how important this first part is. When you’re out in the field, the Spectral Danger Meter is your best friend. When in a haunted area, this meter will alert you of the level of danger nearby. This is measured in spectral intensity and can be gauged as either Bad (Red) or Good (Green). Pretty straightforward, right? Let’s hope it’s always that clear cut.

2. Possession Vulnerability Meter

In my experience with entities, they can be docile and harmless or they can be on the prowl for souls. Trust me, when they’re out for your soul, you shouldn’t be anywhere near them without this gadget. My trusty dusty vulnerability meter provides a read out of the energy in a given area, determining whether the apparitions nearby are calm or whether you’re in serious trouble. Green indicates safety, yellow means get out now, and red…well, I haven’t seen it hit red yet. I don’t think I want to.

3. Tactical Flashlight

Pretty simple, really. When Feature 4 is engaged, the flashlight turns on and apparitions (and their path of destruction) are exposed. I’m 99% sure I’ve seen a few, but I’ve never hit them directly with the flashlight. I’m excited to nail one with this feature.

4. Mount with Kung Fu Grip and Action Button

This is the glue that holds the Ghoul Detector 5000’s badassness together. I wrapped some electrical tape around the mount so it’s slip resistant. But that’s not really a problem because I’m super dexterous and my kung fu grip is airtight. The action button must be held down to operate all three functions, and they do work simultaneously. When the Ghoul Detector 5000 is fired up, this baby is a sight to behold.

Watch out, ghouls. We’re comin for you.
