Xbox Kinect ghosts
I have an Xbox One, but no Kinect. I'm not sure if I'm grateful for that or not, having spent the better part of the afternoon reading and watching people's accounts of their Kinect detecting and responding to invisible presences in the room.
The Kinect uses motion capture technology to detect and analyze people in the room. It can recognize one person from another, and detect the difference between a person who is standing still and (say) a coat rack.
Imagine playing Xbox late at night alone, and the Kinect suddenly registers another person entering the room. Many Xbox owners have experienced exactly that. Some report that the presence even tries to play the game, although this may just be the spirit attempting to wave or communicate.
Microsoft has declined to comment on this phenomena. However, Xbox experts are unable to rule out these experiences, aside from just writing them off as a glitch in the Kinect.
The Kinect is so sensitive to detecting a presence that many paranormal investigators have made it part of their normal equipment. Most notably the Ghost Adventures crew.
Do you have a Kinect? Has it ever told you someone else was in the room with you? We want to know!
