In this episode of Charlie Checks the Tech, part of the Paranormal Playback podcast, host Charlie dives into the Ovilus, a popular yet controversial tool seen in ghost hunting shows like Ghost Adventures and Kindred Spirits. Often touted as a way for spirits to speak through technology, the Ovilus generates words based on environmental changes like EMF, temperature, and pressure. Charlie explores its various modes (Dictionary, Phonetic, Touch/Thermal, and White Noise), and questions its scientific reliability, transparency, and repeatability. With a skeptical yet open-minded tone, she explains how confirmation bias and emotional language can trick investigators into believing random words are meaningful messages from the dead. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this episode delivers a critical, entertaining, and informative take on one of the paranormal world’s most misunderstood gadgets. Perfect for fans of ghost hunting tech, EVP tools, and paranormal reality TV.

Paranormal Playback is your weekly deep dive into spooky reality TV, ghost hunts, dramatic reenactments, and enough EVP to raise the dead. Hosted by Charlie Holley, Melanie Malone, & Lauren Sanders.
