Welcome to JuJu Paranormal! Whether you're a seasoned investigator or just curious about the paranormal, this guide will help you get started with the most advanced mobile paranormal investigation app ever created.
Your First Investigation
When you first open JuJu, you'll meet Michael, your AI paranormal investigator. Michael is ready to help you from the moment you launch the app. He can analyze sensor data, answer questions about your investigation, and provide real-time insights.
Step 1: Calibrate Your Sensors
Before you begin, it's important to calibrate your sensors. This establishes a baseline for your environment, which helps Michael and the app distinguish between normal environmental readings and potential anomalies.
How to calibrate:
- Go to the Sensors screen
- Tap the calibration icon (tune symbol) in the top-left
- Hold your device still for a few seconds
- Wait for the "Calibration Complete" confirmation
Why this matters: Calibration ensures accurate readings. Without it, normal environmental factors (like HVAC systems or electrical interference) might be mistaken for paranormal activity.
Step 2: Choose Your Investigation Mode
JuJu offers several ways to investigate:
- EVP Recording: Capture Electronic Voice Phenomena with professional-grade audio tools
- Photo Capture: Use our advanced 5-orb sensor visualization to capture anomalies at the perfect moment
- Video Recording: Record with real-time EMF heat maps and anomaly indicators
- Sensor Monitoring: Watch real-time readings from EMF, motion, gyroscope, barometric pressure, and more
- Sentry Mode: Let Michael monitor autonomously while you investigate hands-free
Step 3: Start Your Investigation
Once you're at your location:
- Open the app and let Michael know where you are
- Begin sensor monitoring to establish baseline readings
- Start recording (EVP, photo, or video) when you're ready
- Ask Michael questions about what you're experiencing
- Review your evidence in the Evidence Gallery
Understanding Michael's Personalities
Michael has three distinct personality modes, each offering a different perspective:
- Normal Mode: Balanced analysis, helpful and informative
- Scientist Mode: Data-driven, skeptical, focuses on logical explanations
- Dramatic Mode: Enthusiastic, treats everything as potentially paranormal (but still uses real data!)
You can switch between modes in Settings → App Settings → Michael Personality Mode.
Tips for Your First Investigation
- Start simple: Begin with basic sensor monitoring before diving into advanced features
- Be patient: Paranormal investigation requires time and patience
- Document everything: Use the app's built-in notes feature to record your observations
- Trust your sensors: The app uses your device's built-in sensors - they're more powerful than you might think
- Review your evidence: Always review recordings and photos after your investigation
