I was watching one of my paranormal investigating TV shows one night when they used a device called the Ovilus. The description was very interesting; “Able to create speech and phonetic speech from the immediate environment” as stated on their website. At first, I was amazed and very excited to get one and test it out. Once you sit down and think about it, how does this thing really work? Theories are all that drive us to using certain tools to investigate the paranormal. How in the world will this thing turn environmental energy into words? What is the “environmental energy” they are referring to? They claim not to have a random word generator or sweep function running on the device. Maybe they have some type of decent theory on how to pull words from the surrounding environment. It would be nice if they shared.
Be sure to read the on-line manual carefully, certain mentions may turn you off such as “for entertainment use only” but this is understandable for something that runs off of theories. In their defense, you have to protect yourself. They didn’t seem to be very careful when they wrote the disclaimer. The first line states “The Paranormal Puck is sold as an entertainment device only”, Ok, this is another device that Digital Dowsing LLC. Sells, but I’m reading about the Ovilus. All this considered it is a neat device.
What does this device claim to do? The Ovilus 1 has a speech mode where is says words included within the programmed dictionary, speak using phonemes, a mixed mode which uses both speech and phonemes modes together, An EMF mode, A “yes” “no” only mode where the device will respond with a “yes” or “no” depending on environmental changes, a level mode where the device will only show the energy levels without speaking, and a digital dowsing mode. This is a lot of stuff all in one small device. It would be nice to get one to test, but the price of $199.00 is a bit steep for me. Maybe if they subtract about 100 bucks, I would consider it.
