Paul Feig, we have one more Ghostbusters actress for you to cast—Selena Gomez!

The "Me & the Rhythm" singer took some time out of her bustling schedule preparing for a world tour to show Jimmy Fallon the ropes when it comes to the lost art of ghost-hunting.

While appearing on The Tonight Show Wednesday, the 23-year-old brunette bombshell admitted that in tandem with fighting body-shamers and recording the sexy new music for her latest studio album, Revival, Gomez loves to hunt for ghosts with the help of her handy, dandy iPhone.

"I believe in ghosts, so I have a ghost app," Gomez admitted. "I believe that, you know, spirits can tap into technology—why not, right?"

When Fallon appeared to express some skepticism, the Hotel Transylvania 2 actress whipped out her iPhone to survey the supernatural scene at the late-night host's studio.

With one click of a button, Gomez's app began hunting for haunts roaming the room. After a few moments calibrating, there was a ding...and then another ding. Suddenly, a voice from the program announced "children" without any context. 

"It just said children in a weird voice like a Nightrider voice. Is it David Hasselhoff?" Fallon panicked. Still, he was unconvinced.

Sensing his suspicion, Gomez shared a story about a time when she used the app and it spit out familiar names of relatives. Fallon just wasn't buying it. 

"You're actually upsetting the spirits. They're mad at you," she said in rebuttal.

His antics against the ghost machine continued during a duet of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." While the pair busted out into song, NBC's signature funny man improvised the lyrics, replacing "fire" with "children," mimicking the voice on the app. 

No offense to Gomez, but maybe we need to bring in a bonafide ghostbuster to make a believer out of Fallon.

But, who you gonna call? How about Melissa McCarthy!
