| T.Az.P.R.S. ParaHoax Data Base where you can review or submit potential or past HOAXED paranormal investigations scheduled by uncaring clients who falsely schedule investigations for untrue purposes. This is a state wide effort by "The Arizona Paranormal Research Society" for ALL paranormal investigation groups throughout Arizona. Let us help out one another! |
| Maybe you have had this happen to you before, maybe you haven't.... The client contacts you, you follow you group's interview protocol, you schedule an investigation and proceed with investigator preparation, transportation arrangements for investigators and financial investments for supplies etc. You contact the client quite a few times to confirm the investigation and it's a go for the scheduled date and time. You pack up and fuel up vehicles, travel distances most of the time out of your own city or across the state and arrive at the client's home at the appointed time only to find the client isn't home, has forgotten all about the investigation, was going to cancel but forgot to call or just doesn't want to follow through with it. Maybe, they have invited many friends over to watch the investigators at work. Maybe, you have already begun to investigate only to find out that the client has been attempting to fool everyone by conducting the "paranormal activity" them selves. WHAT DO YOU DO? Depending on your group's professionalism, probably nothing. You had good intentions to put your heart, skills, time and money into helping the client with the investigation as always, but unfortunately, this has happened so you leave the area very disappointed and frustrated. It is not the fault of the investigation group at all. There is one thing you may want to consider when this happens... Submit the client's name, address and situation that has happened in this data base to let all paranormal investigation groups in Arizona cross reference names and addresses to avoid being hoaxed! We will only post the client's first name and last initial, numbers of the address and first letter of the street name and city. The correct number of blank spaces will follow the first initial of the name, street etc. The investigation group should be able to correlate the names and street addresses without jeopardising any confidentially what so ever. Any investigation group inquiring about any name or address as well can contact me personally for any further detailed information. The situation of what happened can be explained in more detail if warranted. When the cost is out of our own pocket, we have to protect the integrity of what we do from people who schedule investigations for their own entertainment, for a joke, to try and see if they can trick the investigation group or because they have absolutely nothing better to do. EVERY INVESTIGATOR IS WILLING TO INVEST THEIR OWN PERSONAL MONEY TO HELP PEOPLE WHO NEED IT. THE CLIENT IS NOT CHARGED ANYTHING, ANYTIME FOR HELP. THE VERY FEW PEOPLE WHO HOAX INVESTIGATORS WASTES THIS INVESTMENT COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY LOGICAL REASONING OR MONETARY REIMBURSEMENT! We are here to help any true client who honestly needs our help at no cost to them. Help prevent unnecessary hoaxes and lost investigation investments! To all paranormal investigative groups in Arizona, please submit all names and addresses of those caught scheduling false or untrue information for hoaxing purposes. Maybe checking this list prior to an investigation can prevent loss of time, effort and money. To acquire a "ParaHoax Submission Form", contact me personally: frankmadrid@thearizonaparanormalsociety.com and it will be e-mailed to you. This is to help ALL paranormal investigation groups in Arizona. T.Az.P.R.S. will submit hoaxers to the cause so that what happened to us won't happen to you. Thank you to all of Arizona's True Paranormal Investigation Groups. Be aware of the following names and locations... |

| Marco C***** 2001 w. B******* Tucson, AZ. Oct. 10, 2009 What Happened: Investigation was scheduled and confirmed. We left voice mails indicating that we were on our way. We arrived at scheduled time and house was dark and no one was home. He didn't answer the numerous phone calls from us at all, even after receiving the voice-mails we had left for him indicating we were on our way to his house. No calls were returned. When we arrived, he wasn't home. We waited for his arrival and was calling him and his voice mail did not function any longer. The client suspiciously drove by twice, saw us in front of his house and kept driving slowing both times. We left to get fuel and decided to drive by the client's home one last time, giving him the benefit of the doubt. We saw that the lights were on in the home, indicating that he had in fact found the business card I had left in his door. We attempted to call him again to no avail and drove back to Phoenix then Camp Verde. He has since refused communication. Investment Losses: $40.00 in fuel, $30.00 for supplies (batteries, tapes etc), $30.00 in food and refreshments for 4 investigators, 7 hours round trip driving time for the investigators from Camp Verde and 20 hours of overnight child care for an infant and a 12 year old. Conclusion: this client is a "Hoaxer" - Beware of this individual. He may be contacting other groups in AZ to duplicate this hoax. Submitted by - T.Az.P.R.S. |
