Check out the aptly named BooBuddy. This talking teddy bear is supposed to alert you to paranormal activity. But here’s my question: How do I know if he is alerting me to paranormal activity or is a part of paranormal activity? There’s no way to know for sure.
And why they choose a teddy bear, I have no idea. I guess they think it’s creepier if a bear alerts you to the fact that you have ghosts all up in your house. I have to be honest, this thing sounds like it’s just an overpriced stuffed bear that they can sell to tubby ghost hunters:
BooBuddy is not just an EMF (electromagnetic field) bear but an interactive investigator that asks smart questions and reacts to changes in the environment just like a real investigator would.BooBuddy’s investigates the paranormal with you promoting positive response as well as letting us know when the environment changes. BooBuddy loves asking EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) questions in order to promote a response. If the environment changes (EMF, temperature or motion) BooBuddy responds appropriately, to let you know that there may be a presence. Just sit BooBuddy down and turn it on to get to work. BooBuddy will do the rest starting with baseline readings. For best results and documentation set a recorder or cam by the bear to document any responses.
Kids will love it, but this is NOT a toy. Some theories suggest that using a trigger object familiar and attractive to an entity may entice them to interact. BooBuddy does that and so much MORE!
If you believe in this sort of thing, or just want a creepy talking bear taking over your house, BooBuddy retails for $200, and is available now.
