As far as TikTok trends go, the AI anime filter has attained viral status within the short span of a week.
Most of these transformations are hilarious and harmless, with many trying their best to ‘game’ the filter into giving them abs or a more chiselled face.
However, some daredevils have also used the filter to detect what are supposedly paranormal entities in their surroundings.
Here are some of the best ghost-detecting attempts here in Singapore using the filter. Be warned — attempt this trend at your discretion.
The trend seemed to have started when this TikTok user posted a video of her trying the anime filter along her home’s corridor.
In the caption of the video, she stated, “Checking if there’s anyone else staying in my house cuz things have been bad lately.”
Creepily, after the anime filter did its thing, a small blonde girl seemingly appears along her seemingly empty corridor.

This video has garnered 1.7 million views since it was posted on Wednesday (7 Dec), with many netizens spooked out by the discovery.
The trend then took off, with others hoping to capture an image of the supposed ‘spirits’ haunting their surroundings.

Another user tried the filter at an industrial estate, and after the filter completed its magic, a small girl-like figure appeared on the pavement.

Perhaps the scariest attempt at the trend was from this TikTok user who tried the filter on a dark HDB corridor.
We won’t be including the gif for this, but be warned, if you’re one to get spooked easily, you may want to avoid clicking into the video.
Just to be clear, this is in no way an actual ghost-detecting mechanism but merely a coincidence on the filter’s part.
If the filter does show a ghostly figure, there’s probably no need to run for your closest exorcist.
