It basically contains everything a ghost hunter would need to make it look like they know what they're doing. A barometer, audio analyser, EMF detector, and more. So much tech on one app.

But a lot of these apps can be easy to fake. Add a bank of random voices and suddenly the user convinces themselves that a ghost is really talking to them. The M2 app seems to have had a lot of effort put into it though, so I thought I'd give it a chance. What's the worst that could happen?
The app has a radar which emits a loud "doing" when it thinks something is there. As soon as I switched it on there and stood in the middle of the graveyard with stones all around, it went crazy. It detected "spirits" everywhere. And then the voices began. Like many apps, it has a synthesized voice that is supposed to be a speech-to-text EMF recorder. We stood at the grave of the bride — one of the most striking stones in the cemetery — and the app chose that moment to give the words "dawn" and "joy" in quick succession. My mum had a theory that those were the emotions the poor bride would have felt on the morning of her wedding.
Moving on, we walked towards the rear of the graveyard where we found a particularly woebegone grave. It looked to be a vast tomb, yet half of the stone was missing and an object which appeared to be an urn of sorts stood on top of the bare soil.
The grave had such a disheveled appearance that we were drawn to it. My mum stood in front of it and wiped away the leaves and dirt, describing it as "filthy.

A girl's voice spoke the word "dirt," elongating the "i". It was at that point where I wondered if this app was indeed fake like many others, whether it was just pure coincidence it spoke the word "dirty" and I had a genuine EVP of a girl saying similar, or if it is real. Further into the investigation we came across a grave in an appalling state. It was surrounded by other stones, fallen and cracked, and was covered in graffiti and beer cans. We tidied it up and walked on. Later, I returned to the grave out of sheer curiosity.
I stood in front of it, read the words on the stone to learn the inhabitant of the sadly vandalised grave. In the video I recorded, yet another EVP had been picked up.
This time, after I had finished reading the stone out loud, I heard in the footage an almost mournful-sounding "yeah," as if someone was confirming that it was his name. I showed my findings to my brother, and after hearing the voices for himself he mutely handed back my headphones with a wide-eyed, slightly scared expression. Personally, the voices never had that effect on me.
More than anything it was a little saddening, and a huge privilege. Spirits need energy to speak to us, and that energy often comes from draining our batteries and electronic devices. That's why the well-seasoned ghost hunter will go out with a large stock of batteries. So, to have someone speak to me, however little, made me feel lucky. It became so clear to me following this investigation that this was something I strangely enjoyed.
I got a sense of fulfillment from hearing the spirits talk, and not from the app.
These were real voices, belonging to real spirits. It is hard to dispute it. When I uploaded the videos to YouTube I prepared myself for the comments saying it is fake. How much of the fiction were your cast aware of prior to filming? None at all really!
Rob, the sound recordist is a very cynical guy so it was great to play a trick on him because right up to the end he believed it was a straight documentary. We managed to trick our friends which was great but then obviously we worked in the other elements and they were happy to come back and just play themselves so it was a lot of fun.
When you did let them in on the secret did you explain what was in store or just tell them to look out for something unusual and react appropriately? But the teeth were not anything that we put there and there were some other bones around too. Were you ever tempted to ramp the scares up a notch?
