The Pre-Investigation:
The T.Az.P.S. team arrived approximately at 8:00pm from different locations
of Arizona and conducted a meeting prior to setting up monitor base camps.
At 9:00pm Jim set up base camp in the boiler room while Jamie, Founder of
Texas Paranormal Society, set up base camp in the old operating room suite
on the third floor. There were many floors and rooms to cover and plenty
of investigators to cover them all. The camera crew from Black Knight
Productions were there to acquire footage for an upcoming television
Halloween special as well as a documentary depicting haunted locations in
Arizona.
After all of the monitor base camp equipment was set up and sub teams were
divided into small groups, EMF and temperature base line readings were
taken in the areas of interest. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary as far as
base lines were concerned. Video cameras were set up in the boiler room,
elevator shaft, maintenance room, storage room, operating room hallway,
operating room, and in a large suite under renovation over the Asylum
Room which we will call the "Burn" room because of the smoke aroma that
was there. This is the room where a woman in white has been reportedly
seen looking out of the balcony windows.
Each T.Az.P.S. member carried their personal equipment which consisted of
video cameras, digital still cameras, digital and analog recorders, EMF
meters and Infrared thermometers.
EVP sessions were conducted in all areas of interest and base camps were
monitored at all times.
There was approximately 70 hours of video and audio and approximately 540
still pictures taken. EVP sessions were conducted by T.Az.P.S. team members
in all areas of predetermination throughout the Grand Hotel. This
pre-investigation allows us knowledge of the hotel's layout and gives us
the information to concentrate on the areas of activity for placement of
equipment for the actual investigation.

Personal Experiences:
Lead investigator Gino and Randy, both from the Phoenix team, paired up
and went to investigate the Burn room, which is currently under renovation.
As Randy followed Gino around a corner, Gino saw someone standing by the
window at the end of the hall and raised his camera to take a picture and
the person vanished. Upon analyzing the picture, adjusting contrast and
brightness, this is what he captured...................

After showing Gino this picture, Gino states "That's exactly what I saw!". It
almost looks as if she is wearing a straight jacket.

Annie and Erina were in one of the bed rooms in the old operating room
suite and at one point, Annie felt something cold brush past her hand. Erina
took two pictures of Annie's hand and caught a shadow anomaly very close
by. Just as quick as it appeared, it disappeared as you see in the second
picture.....

Shadow anomaly gone.

Investigator asks
"Who are you?"
Answer....."Marsha"

Investigator asks "How
long have you been here?"
Answer........"I don't know"

Investigator asks "Is that
you?"
Quick answer......."Yes"
Investigator asks "Can you
come back?"
Answer......"I don't care
guys"

These are possible baby
or child noises

This is a nice exhale
of some sort

You'll hear some whispers
then the name "Jesus
Christ" then more whispers

This one is strange...It
sounds like whispers and
then some kind of forced
sound....... Maybe one of
the phantom coughs

Investigator asks "Are you
waiting for somebody to
come back, or are you
watching sombody leave?"
Answer......"I'm, dead"

Clean version of
"I'm dead" answer

All and all, for the pre-investigation, the small amount of paranormal
evidence obtained was impressive. Gino's capture as well as all EVPs are
a great addition to our website and all T.Az.P.S. team members look
forward to the actual investigation which will be scheduled very soon.

I want to thank all of T.Az.P.S. team members for the fantastic work they
did. TAzPS is proud of its members and what they personally contribute
in all investigations throughout Arizona. The reputation they have built
for themselves is a fine, professional one that deems recognition in the
field of paranormal investigating. I thank each and every one of them for
their dedication, professionalism and time.

I would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank Jamie
Chesterson, Founder of the Texas Paranormal Society, for bringing his
skills, experience, knowledge, sense of humor, friendship and his
technical equipment on this investigation. It was a pleasure to get to
know him and work with him. His vast experience and methods are
something all paranormal investigators can learn from and I appreciate
his being there....Texas Paranormal Society rocks!!! Thanks Jamie.

We would like to extend a warm farewell to T.Az.P.S. investigator Bill
Allen. He has relocated to Wyoming and he won't be forgotten. Bill was
one of the first investigators we acquired in the beginning of TAzPS and
has proven his expertise in the paranormal investigation field. Bill has
taken many interesting pictures and has recorded many EVPs and they are
posted throughout our website. We are proud to have such a fine
investigator and friend among us. We are looking forward to Bill leading
a Wyoming chapter of T.Az.P.S. in the near future so yes... he will remain
on the T.Az.P.S. team. We wish our friend and colleague the best of luck
and will be seeing him in the very near future. Thanks Bill.

Please check back with us for the actual investigation page as we are
anticipating a great evening of paranormal activity and you will be there
with us in spirit...
