Wondering If Your House Is Haunted? There’s An App For That!

Be honest, you have all wondered if your house, or the building down the street, is haunted. There’s now an app for that. Asif Ghafoor, the founder and CEO of Spacious, an online real estate company in Hong Kong, was inspired by Pokemon Go and augmented reality to create the app that reveals potentially haunted places and tells you how people at the location died. It focuses mainly on real estate where people were murdered or committed suicide. Augmented reality is something we’d been thinking about for a while. After Pokemon Go came out at the end of July, the success of that made us realize the potential for our app. We think it’s a technology first. We don’t think anyone else has done this before.
