Glasgow Paranormal Investigators

GPI approaches each investigation with the utmost respect and professionalism, utilising science, theory and skepticism to analyse evidence obtained.

While researching possible paranormally active locations throughout the UK, Glasgow Paranormal Investigators operate as a non-profit organisation, funded purely by team members.

So, with all the serious 'stuff' out of the way, we at GPI would like to tell you a bit more about who we are and what we're all about.

On a dark and stormy night in 2008, no wait, that's another story completely. Wait, Scotland can lean towards the dark and sometimes stormy so in all fairness it may well have been part of our story...

One Scottish day in 2008, a group of five strangers gathered for an in-person meet up. Having initially met on a local online site for people interested in discussing and exploring the paranormal, these five future investigators (Lorraine, James, Billy and Kim and Lisa) met each other for the first time - except for Kim and Billy, a married couple - and Lorraine and James. Apparently, the world is a small place at times, as they discovered James had been a long ago friend of Lorraine's family. They all seemed to hit it off instantly, connecting not only in their shared interest, but personally as well.

Needless to say, the overall meet up group didn't turn out very well. There was no structure, no shared goal and it seemed as though the main intention of the group was to find places to go kick about for ghosts. Not at all what these specific five had in mind. So, they broke away and formed their own not-for-profit organisation. It was then the seeds were planted for Glasgow Paranormal Investigators.

A year later, Anna contacted GPI, enquiring about the possibility of joining the team as an investigator. Not long after, Ray followed. The seeds were growing.

GPI is a group of characters indeed, who love a laugh and the occasional practical joke. James, a skeptic, has been known to jump a few feet in the air many times. Skeptics vs Believers aside, when you're fumbling about in the absolute pitch darkness, with visibility at 0 and someone touches your sleeve, fear knows no belief.

Over two years on and GPI has grown in knowledge and confidence (and practical jokes). Each member of the team has a pivotal role to play. We feel that encouraging and utilising the strengths of each individual will build a solid team foundation. Our goal is to further the research of paranormal possibility and quite selfishly answer some of our own personal questions. The group is made up of skeptics, believers and those right smack dab in the middle.

GPI also incorporates the unique and respected skills of a sensitive, GPI's very own co-founder, Lorraine Anderson. From the technical prowess of one member to another member proving to be an EVP magnet, there's a pick-a-mix of interests and skills, which fuels the team individually and as a group. Our interests in the paranormal differ and meet at some points and because of this the range of research becomes more encompassing.

Science and theory are always evolving, thanks to paranormal research groups and curious individuals all looking to answer a question or a million about what we really are and what exists, if at all, beyond this worn in yet still magical place called Earth. GPI studies old and new theories, environmental and psychological factors as well as utilising the best technical equipment available to us currently. We don't claim to be able to prove paranormal activity and will not attempt to tell anyone else what to believe. Our opinion of events is formed from gathered, analysed evidence and personal investigative experience.

And the quest goes on...
