Increase your chances of capturing paranormal sounds by placing your ghost box in a foil echo chamber.

If you are interested in the paranormal, you should know the inventor of the ghost box is Frank Sumption. He created the first ghost box by converting an old ham radio. To limit interference, he placed the radio in an external echo chamber. Currently, there are only 97 boxes from the originator in existence. Ghost boxes placed in a foil echo chamber reduce radio signals and capture higher quality sounds.
