to bring them toward the light.
French Paranormal InvestigationsWhere others back away, we step in.

FPI investigation in Charente-Maritime for a family facing poltergeist activity
In a home in Charente-Maritime, night has become an ordeal. Their child no longer sleeps, and the parents no longer know where to turn. They called us for help. We want to go, without asking them for anything, but it is a long road to the other end of France. Your donation, however small, pays for the journey: help us bring them answers, and give this child hope of calmer nights.
Something strange happening at home?We come and investigate.
Footsteps, a presence, objects that move, sudden cold… French Paranormal Investigations comes to your home anywhere in France, with professional equipment and one golden rule: rule out every rational explanation first.
You are not alone, and you are not crazy.
Every week, people describe phenomena they can no longer explain. If any of these sound familiar, tell us about it: we listen without judgement.

From your first message to the final report
A simple, structured and transparent process. At every stage you know what will happen next.
- 01
You open a case
In 5 minutes, through our confidential form. Photos, videos or audio are welcome, but nothing is mandatory.
- 02
We study your case
An investigator contacts you for an interview. We research the history of the place (archives, land registry, testimonies).
- 03
We investigate on site
Infrared cameras, EMF sensors, audio recorders, thermometers: every measurement is time-stamped, nothing is staged.
- 04
You receive the report
Full data analysis, rational explanations found… and what remains unexplained. Nothing is published without your consent.
Non-priority requests are completely free. For an urgent situation, a priority intervention is possible on quotation.
Our night protocol
A paranormal investigation is never improvised. First we measure the place at rest, then we open contact, our cameras roll until morning, and every recording is scrutinised. Whatever remains unexplained, we show you exactly as it is.
-
01
Baseline readings
As soon as we arrive, we measure the place at rest: electromagnetic fields, temperature, background noise. This zero point makes the slightest anomaly of the night stand out.
-
02
Contact sessions
Lights out, we question the place. Headphones on, we hear the slightest sound live. Tascam recorders for voices (EVP), Spirit Box and SpiritPhone for answers, trigger objects to invite the presence to manifest.
-
03
Surveillance until dawn
A Sony 0-lux camera, an SLS camera, night-vision cameras and laser grids cover every room from evening to early morning. Nothing that crosses the dark escapes us.
-
04
Analysis and report
Every hour of video and every minute of audio is scrutinised. You receive what we captured, what we could explain… and what remains unanswered.
- No tricks, no staging
- Written consent from the owner or tenant
- Absolute discretion
- Civil liability insurance
Our field arsenal
Cutting-edge equipment, chosen and proven night after night, and fully self-powered.
- Sony 0-lux cameraFilms in the dark, without any lighting, with an image worthy of daylight. Its ultra-sensitive microphone feeds a headset: we hear the slightest sound in real time and react on the spot, without waiting to review the footage.
- SLS cameraDetects human shapes and shows them on screen as stick figures, even when the room looks empty. It needs a minimum of light.
- Night-vision camerasA network of surveillance cameras covering every room and recording all night long.
- Laser gridsSeveral projectors cast laser beams across the room: if a shadow crosses them, our surveillance cameras record it.
- K-IIThe reference EMF detector: its lights flash at the slightest energy spike.
- Digital EMF metersPrecise, numerical electromagnetic field readings (Tesmen), room by room.
- RED-PODOur PSI GATE® proximity detector: it generates its own field and lights up when something passes through it.
- Bell-PodAn EMF bell that rings by itself as soon as a field variation reaches it.
- ANIMA-PODA plush toy packed with sensors, used as a trigger object, especially when a child’s presence is suspected.
- Tascam recordersProfessional digital recorders to capture voices inaudible to the ear (EVP).
- Spirit Box SB11Continuous radio-frequency sweep to obtain live answers during sessions.
- SpiritPhoneOne device combining REM-pod, electronic Ouija, Spirit Box and many other functions.
- 100% self-poweredAll our equipment runs on batteries: no socket, no cable, no reliance on your electrical installation. We can investigate anywhere, even where the power is long gone.

Sceptique à la base, j’ai été bluffé par votre démarche scientifique et cartésienne avant de conclure au paranormal. Merci à toute l’équipe pour cette enquête incroyable et pour avoir résolu le mystère de notre maison.
On vivait un enfer avec des portes qui claquaient et des chutes de température inexplicables. Un grand merci pour votre courage lors de l’enquête nocturne et pour le suivi après votre intervention. Je vous recommande à 100%.
Une équipe d’enquêteurs au top, très professionnelle et respectueuse des lieux. Merci de ne pas avoir cherché le sensationnel, mais d’avoir cherché la vérité avec nous. Le compte-rendu final nous a énormément aidés.
Je ne saurai jamais comment vous remercier. Là où d’autres n’y croyaient pas, votre équipe a pris le temps d’analyser chaque pièce avec vos caméras. Merci pour votre intégrité et pour nous avoir aidés à retrouver un foyer serein.
Merci d’être venus enquêter chez moi aussi vite. Votre rigueur et les enregistrements audio que vous avez captés m’ont prouvé que je n’étais pas fou. Merci pour votre bienveillance et votre sérieux durant la nuit.
Nous étions à bout à cause de bruits de pas constants à l’étage. Un immense merci à toute l’équipe pour votre écoute, votre matériel pro et surtout pour nous avoir apporté des réponses et la paix. Vous êtes formidables !

Frequently requested towns
Our detectors: PSI GATE®
Our detection PODs are designed, programmed and assembled in France by PSI GATE®. We have used them since they were first created: every trigger we recorded was corroborated at the same moment by our other devices, and the exported readings make analysis easier after each investigation.
You are probably wondering…
All questionsIs a paranormal investigation paid?
No, in the vast majority of cases. FPI is a volunteer association: non-priority requests are completely free and funded by donations. Only urgent interventions (priority travel within a few days) are subject to a personalised quotation, sent before any intervention and with no commitment.
Do I need evidence to contact you?
No. No evidence is required. Simply describe what you are experiencing, even if it is hard to put into words. If you have photos, videos or recordings, you can attach them to the form.
Do you come to my home?
Yes. We work in private homes as well as professional or historic places, throughout France and in neighbouring French-speaking countries, always with the written consent of the owner or the tenant.
How long does an investigation last?
An on-site investigation usually lasts an evening and part of the night. Analysing the recordings (video, audio, sensors) then takes several days before the report is delivered.
What if you find a rational explanation?
That is excellent news, and it happens often. We explain it clearly (electrical wiring, damp, structural noises, ventilation…) and, if needed, point you to the right professional.
Tell us what you are going through.
The first step is the hardest. It takes five minutes, it is free, and it stays between us.
