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.
