Spirit photography is a field of photography which aims to capture images of ghosts or apparitions in the shot, usually as part of ghost hunts or in haunted locations.

Almost a year ago in mid-August of 2015, CEO Massimo Rossi and a small team of designers and engineers started taking pre-orders for a new ghost hunting device, GhostArk.

Back in the summer of 2015 hundreds of customers forked out their hard earned cash on GhostArk, hailed to be the world's first all-in-one ghost hunting tool. Now, a year on, customers are still waiting for their orders and the company behind the product, Selekton Ltd and their CEO Massimo Rossi have gone quiet, leaving unhappy customers in the lurch.

If you've been following the GhostArk saga over the six months, then you'll know that despite lots of delays I received my device in February but it was far from perfect. Well today a replacement arrived and these are my honest findings.

As you've probably noticed, I've been blogging quite a lot about the latest piece of ghost hunting kit on the market but many people have asked why I spent my hard earned money on a device that I don't believe will work.

The first batch of GhostArks of reached their owners but there's still one thing missing and that's the online data analysis tool which was supposed to be available ready for the launch of the device.

A few days ago a Facebook user posted photos of the external speaker which was supplied with his GhostArk on the company's page and the photo seemed to show signs of overheating.

There's been a lot of talk about the quality of GhostArk over the last few days but as more customers receive their devices, is the product really as bad as customers have said?

I can't remember the last time I was this excited about receiving a parcel through the post but finally GhostArk, the all-in-one ghost hunting device is here.
