Examiner.com (Phoenix): Arizona paranormal teams featured at Phoenix Comicon 2011
Phoenix Comicon at the Phoenix Convention Center was the place to find your favorite super hero the weekend of May 26-29, 2011. This event was so popular that there was often an hour wait just to get through the ticket line and into the exhibitor hall. There was a new record of over 25,000 people in attendance. Where else could you find the likes of Batman, Catwoman, the Joker, Jack Sparrow, Disney Princesses, Superman, Aqua Man, Poison Ivy, Phoenix and so much more? Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, was on hand to emcee the Zombie Beauty Pageant.
For those participants who are afraid of the dark, a panel titled “Arizona Paranormal Activities” was presented by the local ghost hunting teams of Miskatonic Paranormal and Phoenix Paranormal. Both teams have been investigating the Arizona area for about three years. These two teams are part of the valiant ghost hunting teams in the valley who make it their mission to investigate some of the most haunted locations. While Phoenix Paranormal tends to focus on private resident house calls, Miskatonic Paranormal enjoys working at some of the well-known haunted sites around Arizona and the rest of the country. Both teams demonstrated their techniques and showed audio and video recaps of some of their most successful hunts.
Heathyr Hoffman and ARMS (Arizona Research Mediumship Society) took the stage and discussed their methods of balancing their metaphysical skills with scientific reasoning in paranormal investigations. This 3 year old team believes combining ghost equipment, intuition, and medium skills are a well-rounded package when on a ghost hunt. They showed clips of some of their best investigations as well.
Bill Bailey came back later in the afternoon and did a humorous class called “Faked or Fact: Debunking Internet Videos”. Bailey showed various clips from YouTube videos of paranormal activity that was just too good to be true. The audience enjoyed participating in a vote whether each paranormal video was a hoax or an actual event.

Ah, but some of the stars who gave a boost to ghost hunting in the 1980’s were also on hand. Guests of the Arizona Ghostbusters, the guests at ComiCon had a chance to meet and greet Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore) and William Atherton (Walter Peck) from the “Ghost Busters” movie fame. Even the giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was in attendance.
Phoenix ComiCon seems to double in attendance size each year making it the Phoenix place to be on Memorial Day weekend!
