Dropped $80 on a cheap EMF detector and it was total garbage

I got really into the whole paranormal conspiracy scene after watching some documentaries about hidden government experiments. So last month I bought this basic EMF detector off Amazon for about $80, thinking I could test for weird signals near power lines and stuff. Turned out the thing just went off constantly near any electrical outlet or even my phone. I took it out to an old abandoned factory everyone says is haunted, and it just buzzed nonstop from the wiring in the walls. Total waste of money honestly, it didn't prove anything or catch anything unusual. I should have saved up for a better model or just borrowed a smart meter app instead. Has anyone else bought a cheap gadget for investigating and gotten burned like me?

Did you ever check if it's just picking up your own phone's signal?
