While we oftentimes tend to put more focus on things we can see, there are those of us who are interested in the things that are not visible to the naked eye. That’s right, ghost hunting.

If you’re a Whovian, then you likely know of the 11th Doctor’s sonic screwdriver. You are also likely aware of how useful that little creation is when it’s needed. While we can’t have our own functioning versions, there are replicas out there that light up and have sound effects.
