Ghost-Detecting Teddy Bears

The GhostStop 'BooBuddy' Hides Advanced Technology in a Plush Toy

— January 30, 2018 — Life-Stages
The GhostStop 'BooBuddy' is a seemingly simple plush teddy bear that will provide users with access to advanced technology when looking to track paranormal activity. The plush toy features the ability to track for changes in the electromagnetic fields (EMF), if the temperature fluctuates and even if motion is unexpectedly detected. Users can ask questions to spirits and the plush toy will provide auditory feedback to them based on the responses that might be given from spirits in your space.

The GhostStop 'BooBuddy' teddy bear will also offer users feedback in the form of illumination via the incorporated lights that will work well if you're using the device in lowlight scenarios. As consumers seek out products that allow them to explore their curiosities, we could see more products like the 'BooBuddy' coming about.
