The Xbox ghost? Technology glitch or new tool for the paranormal?

Ghost hunter Graham Lewis claims he has captured video evidence of the ghost of a small boy by using a ''spirit-detection'' device he made from Xbox gaming technology.

Mr Lewis said he made the discovery at the Quarantine Station at North Head in Sydney.

"At the Q station I experienced a chilling moment,'' Mr Lewis said.

He said he had his camera set up in a hallway of the building and was alone at the time.

''On the screen I noticed a small figure the size of a child. The figure seemed to be limping, and when I waved the little figure waved back," Mr Lewis said.
He showed the footage to his friend Libby, who claims to be a medium.

"Libby said to me straight away, 'that's little Oliver, the son of a former worker at the station'.

"Oliver was reportedly lame in his right foot," Mr Lewis said.

Mr Lewis, who is an electrical engineer by trade, said ghost hunters had traditionally relied on their intuition, regular cameras and handheld meters in their search for spirits.

Sophisticated spirit detection devices

Disappointed by haphazard and scratchy results from these basic tools, Mr Lewis employed his engineering skills to design a new device using the Kinect SLS camera, which modifies Xbox gaming technology.

He is constantly designing, testing and modifying his ghost hunting equipment, including the Vortex direction finder, the Spirit Net, and the Kinect SLS camera.

"Xbox gaming users were reporting curious incidents in which the sensor camera, which tracks human movement for interactive games, was often detecting second players in the game when there was no one else in the room," he said.

Mr Lewis designed a prototype by attaching the Xbox SLS camera to a portable screen and hard-drive recorder and said he had captured some ''amazing results in the field''.
