TikTok's anime AI filter has become a ghost-hunting tool, and here are the creepiest results

TikTok filters these days can do more than just give you a flawless complexion and streamline your face. Much, much more.

Most recently, videos featuring the anime AI filter on TikTok has been spamming many of our feeds — along with Wednesday's dance, but that's a story for another day.

In essence, the newly launched filter turns people into manga characters of their dreams.

With some creative photo-taking, one can even make certain 'enhancements' to their physical features.

Want abs? You've got it.

Bigger boobs? Consider it done.

However, not everyone is using it just for the purposes intended.

In fact, the filter has become somewhat of a tool as well to, of all things, detect spirits lurking in the vicinity.

This is probably after some users realised how characters pop up in the frame even when there's no one there.

Like this one, taken in the hallway of a HDB home.

Twice, the results yielded a mysterious, faceless anime figure.

"Enough TikTok for today," wrote the user after a positively-creepy second shot.

In another example, someone decided to take a picture of an already haunted-looking industrial block.

"WTF... I walked away right after this," the person wrote.

Employees as well, have begun 'auditing' their workplaces for unwanted entities.

But among the most hair-raising videos we've seen so far has also got to be this one taken in a darkened HDB corridor.

Yep, we would have made a run for it too.

Local comedic personalities Chiou Huey and Noah Yap have also jumped on the bandwagon with a funny take on the trend.

Creepy? Definitely. Entertaining? 100 per cent — just as long as it's not in our home.
