The
Arizona
Paranormal
Society
"My name is Frank Madrid and I am President and Founder of
“The Arizona Paranormal Society”. I have been interested in the
paranormal since I was 9 years old when I experienced numerous
“happenings” in my home (not all pleasant). I was physically tormented
as a child while living with my family in National City, California, by
numerous entities in our home. I come from a family of "seers" and feel
that I am highly in tune with the energies that are around me.
There was a time in 1989 at my family’s business in Phoenix, AZ that I was
visited frequently by a young girl spirit who liked to play pranks at
night after business hours. This is when my paranormal investigations
began. I have experienced many sightings on my journey, such as full
body apparitions, energy emitting orbs, misty apparitions, and objects
moving on their own. Some experiences can never be forgotten.
Due to my extensive exposure to the paranormal, in 2006 I was prompted
to found “The Arizona Paranormal Society” in the hopes of conducting
extensive scientific research into the paranormal under controlled
conditions. Our research has included the use of experimental positive
and negative ion generators, electromagnetic field emitters, static
electricity generators and a "Jacob's ladder" as well. We believe that
these devices may help give entities the energy needed in order to
manifest themselves. We have found that these devices work well for EVP
research as well, allowing some EVP to be audible to the human ear as it
is being recorded. Our research continues on with each paranormal
investigation."
Lori Marshall is the Co-founder and Vice President of “The Arizona
Paranormal Society”. She has a college degree in forensic science
and has also been certified in accident and crime scene photography.
Her educational background is an added asset to the team when
analyzing and collecting evidence on investigations. Lori has had her
own experiences with the unexplained and is dedicated to try and
understand what is behind the paranormal phenomenon. Due to her
extreme interest in the paranormal, Lori is working hard in due
diligence to answer some of the bigger questions surrounding the
paranormal. Lori approaches every investigation with an open mind but
never loses sight of the scientific methods that must be incorporated
into each investigation in order to maintain the highest level of
integrity in regard to all evidence collected and analyzed.
Gino Madrid first experienced the paranormal when he saw a little
girl spirit in his family’s business while working late at night. He was
scared at first but in time became accustomed to her presence. Gino
and his brother Frank would stay in the building after hours
watching and listening for her and eventually called in a team to
help them document the activities. What they found was much more
than they ever imagined. Since that time, Gino has experienced many
circumstances concerning the paranormal. Until recently, his
experience has been limited to investigating his friend’s houses,
however in February of ’05 he moved into a house that has a lot of
activity. He and Frank have enjoyed documenting recent happenings as
well as branching out to do more investigations as a team. Gino has
kept an open mind, thanks in part to a degree in Psychology as well as
his past and current experiences.
Feel free to contact Frank, Lori or any of the other  investigators by
utilizing the e-mail links located under their pictures. We will return all
e-mail inquires and will be happy to reply to any questions or other
comments that are presented.
Thank you.
