Enter Ghost

Enter Ghost is an audio-visual walking experience that turns a cemetery visit into a guided narrative using your smartphone and headphones. The app plays timed audio and video sequences as you follow a set route, making stories tied to graves, paths and crossings audible and visible; some narratives are documentary, others speculative, and many focus on FLINTA individuals. For the smoothest playback during the roughly 70-minute route, download the content over Wi-Fi before you go.

Key Features

Site-specific audio and video sequences unfold along a predetermined cemetery route, synchronised to physical landmarks to create layered encounters of memory, present observation and imagined futures. The experience is designed for use with your own smartphone and headphones and includes the option to download content in advance to avoid interruptions. Available walks include project-specific routes such as the Frankfurt Séance and the Hamburg Séance.

Advantages

Enter Ghost offers a location-aware storytelling approach that connects audio and visuals to the landscape and provides both documentary material and speculative storytelling. The interface is lightweight and focused on playback and navigation rather than complex menus, and pre-downloadable content helps ensure a seamless offline experience during the walk.

Disadvantages

The experience is tied to specific cemetery locations, so it requires physical presence at those sites. It requires a smartphone, headphones and about 70 minutes to complete the route, which may not suit all users.

Development Team

Enter Ghost was created by Swoosh Lieu as an audio-video walk series; the developer stages curated narrative walks that combine sound, image and spatial choreography to explore memory and possible futures.
