That can be and very often is a debated question. However, in general, a ghost or spirit is energy, which paranormal investigators typically look for. Most ghost hunting equipment is designed to detect EMF or Electromagnetic Fields, suggesting that a spirit is close to that equipment. However, only with a proper investigating technique can you differentiate between a manmade or natural EMF source and a possible spirit.

Piedmont Paranormal Investigation and Research LLC has experience in a wide range of haunts, including your typical poltergeist activity (which is the most common), elemental energy hauntings, spirit energy attachments, and closing portals accidentally left open by items like Ouija boards and improper use of Skrying methods. 

Typically, your intuition is the best source you have. You know when something isn't right in your environment. But the time to call a team like Piedmont Paranormal is when that "something isn't right"  is interfering with your daily life.

However, some of those apps do have many flaws and features that simply do not work. Some are also scams that encourage you to buy the app, and do not perform as advertised. 

Also, do not investigate alone. Most haunted locations are old, cluttered, and dangerous. Piedmont Paranormal is partnered with The Montgomery House in Mt. Gilead, NC, to provide a safe and wonderful experience for those wishing to learn more about paranormal investigation.
