A Bluetooth Ghost Box?

Why did I do this? Why did I create a tool that transcended its original purpose?

Yes, this is legit. In 2011, I traveled to Area 51 with Ric Prestel and a group of friends from MUFON to look for UFOs, enjoy patty melts with Grey Aliens at the Little A'Le'Inn, and perhaps have a few beers.

Before that trip, I had been experimenting with Software Defined Radio technology—scanning HAM radio using Windows software written in C#. I have to say, that stuff was HECKA COOL! And it also sounded weird at times.

But for the Area 51 trip, that wasn’t what I wanted to experiment with. I had already used a Uniden handheld BC95XLT frequency scanner—the one with the NASCAR logo on it. Yes, it works—even to this day! But for that 2011 trip, I had written a C# .NET program that allowed me to use my Bluetooth dongle (yup, this was way back in the old days), and surprisingly, I could scan the ISM frequencies! That’s the industrial, scientific, and medical frequencies.

But here’s the catch—on those frequencies, there are no voices, no music, nothing of that sort. Just DATA TRANSFERS. As a programmer with a BS in Computer Information Systems with an emphasis on Software Engineering, programming has been my thing since I was ten… back in 1980! Yes, I started programming at ten with my Commodore Vic-20.

Anyway, on this trip, I took my new Area 51 ISM scanner. I had crafted an audio bank for each of the frequencies, and each bank had 100 unique audio signatures (mp3 files) that were clicks, beeps, etc. These sounds were triggered when a frequency was scanned, with the strength correlating to the 0-99 level within the audio bank.

Holy HECK! What emerged was nothing short of ingenious. I KNEW IT. At Area 51, there are non-human entities and PEOPLE doing something. Communicating? YES. Did patterns emerge? FUDGE YES, THEY DID. All of us were astounded. Ric Prestel of MUFON was so freaked out that he bought a Houston-manufactured Spectrum Analyzer to pair with the Area 51 ISM scanner I had written.

We had to know. What the heck was it, and what did it all mean? Because just like in the movie Signs with Mel Gibson, that eerie clicking and static from the aliens emerged for us. Sometimes, it seems movies draw inspiration from real reported incidents, and vice versa.

I don’t know. That ISH was crazy enough for me to seek added engineering expertise, and working with Ric (who had experience with DARPA projects) made sense.

One year later, Ric and I traveled to meet Bill Murphy, the lead scientist on the Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files show on SyFy. But we were there to hang out and relax. We also met up with David Weatherly, who gave a presentation on Tulpas. This was the Ghost Town TV event, which to this day remains LEGENDARY in the paranormal community.

At that event, Bill Murphy pointed out that what I had created was an RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) device, akin to a K2 meter. You see, RFI and EMF are the same thing. I had written what could be a software-based K2 meter, so long as a Bluetooth dongle was connected to a laptop or tablet. We were in business.

And so, to this day, we can all credit Bill Murphy with inspiring me to create Ghost Hunter Apps. Legitimately, it was the Bluetooth innovation for Area 51 and later my apps that propelled me into the beautiful Paranormal World, making THOUSANDS of friends along the way. From 2011 to 2013 was the experimentation era for me. From 2014 to now, 2024, it has been the GHA realization era.

So, what else can I say about this?

Well, providing a deeper dimension in spirit communication, this device type—many credit me with inventing it for GHA in 2011/2012—employs a modified Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm to detect disruptions in sinusoidal wave shapes, interpreting these as potential paranormal activity. By scanning ISM frequencies every second and analyzing Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) or Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), it responds with historically remastered radio audio tuned to 432Hz. Radio waves are a subset of the electromagnetic spectrum, essential for this technology.

Phew! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
