Description

When a skeptical traveler meets the enigmatic Professor Delapine, a renowned scholar of the occult, the two embark on a journey into the hidden corners of Parisian society. Their curiosity leads them to the famed S… Hospital, where they witness baffling phenomena—objects moving unaided, whispered thoughts shared across rooms, and uncanny predictions that defy ordinary explanation. As the professor recounts the strange exploits of his own life, the narrator is drawn into a world where science and the supernatural collide.

The story follows their early investigations, from a daring roulette‑table experiment that seems to bend chance itself, to a midnight séance that summons an unsettling apparition. Along the way, colorful characters—Madame Delapine, the enigmatic Renée, and the pragmatic Dr. Riche—add intrigue and humor to the unfolding mystery. Listeners will find themselves questioning the limits of perception while being entertained by the professor’s eccentric charm and the subtle, eerie atmosphere of early‑20th‑century Paris.
