Is Ghost Radar Real, Or Am I A Half-Bubble Off Plumb?

by Shelly Kneupper Tucker on October 29, 2009

I told y’all that I was going to have some fun with that Ghost Radar application on my iPhone, didn’t I? Yes, I surely did. Anybody who reads here regularly already knows that I’m about half-bubble off of plumb, so I’m gonna tell you this story about my Ghost Radar.

This week I have been telling ghost stories to middle school kids in the NorthEast ISD in San Antonio … and I’ve been pulling out my iPhone to improve my “cool factor.” I had decided that perhaps it was bogus. A librarian had downloaded it to her iPhone and we set our phones side by side. We did NOT get the same readings. “Oh, it doesn’t really matter,” I thought. “I don’t have to tell the kids that.”

Then I went to Eisenhower Middle School. When I walked into the library folks were buzzing about a recent ghostly incident that had happened in the cafeteria. It seems that it’s a well known fact in these parts that there is a “ghost boy” in the cafeteria. The kids who related the story to me said that the school was built on the site of an old ranch, and they think the boy was from that time period.

I have told stories at Eisenhower many different times, and no one had ever shared that information with me. I started jumping up and down, whining, “I wanna go seeee!”

I was escorted to the cafeteria, and I reached inside my purse for my iPhone. When I pulled it out of my purse, the doggone Ghost Radar was already on the screen! Mind you, my phone was “at rest” in my purse — it wasn’t “off,” but I had turned off the screen. Now, to turn that application on I have to first press the button on the bottom of my phone, then drag the slider across, and finally press the button for the application! There is no way in Thunder that the phone could have done that by itself in the bottom of my purse!!!

ooooEEEEooooo

As I stood there in the cafeteria with that Ghost Radar running, red dots began to form on the screen (that is a sign that there were very strong energies around me). Words began to form on the screen, and my Ghost Radar said:

“Cannot.” “Leave.” “Mama.”

EEEEK!

No, don’t ask me what it meant! I haven’t got a clue! But, during the day the kids in each class discussed it with me. Some suggested that maybe that ghost boy meant he could not leave the cafeteria, and that he thought I was his Momma. Others thought that the ghost boy wanted ME to leave and that he missed his Momma.

All of us, however, decided that the cafeteria is definitely haunted, and that the little boy tried to talk to us through the Ghost Radar application. At least, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Maybe I’m more than a half-bubble off plumb … but I have fun.

So crazy story for you, last month i decided to start body building because i was getting a beer gut, i just turned 21 and having fun with my freedom. Anywho i always work out a 6 pm, no matter what. I have def bulked up and have seen great results of my working out. Yesterday I downloaded the classic version and I didnt get anything words at all so i changed into my workout clothes and got my chin up bar and other things ready for the work out. Right then GR said “changing”, i was like random word…then a few seconds later it said, “appearance”, crazy because i started noticing my new appearance recently. Then i looked at my clock it was 6:02, and it said “usually”, maybe referring to me always working out a 6…then i heard nothing for about 30 minutes. I always end my workout with using my chin up bar for push ups and I finished my last one, rolled over on my back on my floor…and then GR said “done”!!!…holy crap

Another short story, I downloaded the full version today and I let it set for an hour and got random stuff…my back door has a very distinctive sound, when it opens it can be heard from my whole house, and i have a pool…anyways someone walked out back and GR said “swimming” literally right after it was opening and closing, creepy because there was a red blip towards that direction…then a little later i looked at my closet where i keep my workout stuff, and it said “mirror”, and take a wild guess what’s right outside my closet….yep, a mirror

So weird, was sitting with gr on. My iPod is brand new and sO is my app. Then it said new! I am like Ruth check this out and she’s like it can’t be real. I was sitting beside her in a corner with drums and a desk. And it goes desk. Bongos. 2 girl. Corner. And Ruth says u r doing that. I am like noooo. Then it says real. We saw him head for the maps by the kitchen on the radar. ( Egypt is circled from when I was little). And then it says America with u. Egypt. I laughed at Ruth but shakes inside.
