Welcome to SPRUNG, the Society for the Pursuit of the Reputedly Undead, Namely Ghosts! The Ghostkeeper's Journal is a completely new book and app experience which takes you into a magical world of ghosts and spirits. Powerful new Augmented Reality effects lead you through a gripping story that lets you become the hero. Follow the story through the Journal, then view the pages through the Ghost-o-Matic app to see pictures move, reveal hidden messages, and trap dangerous phantoms. Agamemnon White - SPRUNG Ghostkeeper, child prodigy and tuna sandwich obsessive - has gone missing. All that remains of him is his Journal. As the head of Ghostkeeping for the Western region, Ag was collecting the most powerful ecto-energy types known to man in this very book. Your task? Read Ag's Journal and use the app to retrace his footsteps and help rescue him. You'll join a team of unconventional ecto-sensitive SPRUNG Operatives including paranormal gadget inventor Lily Zhang, secretive psychic librarian Nettie Dahl, and the enigmatic and powerful Darko Mantich. Not to mention Jeremiah Goodrough, SPRUNG's legendary and magnificently bearded founder. Together, you just might piece together the mystery. But beware... the moment you open this book, you will release the ghosts Ag trapped inside. It's up to you to recapture them and solve the mystery of his disappearance... without disappearing yourself!
