The ParaChallenged Recap -- Darren Evans and the ZoZo phenomena

by Anita Brown


Having read much of the information on Darren's website, I was really looking forward to last night's show, and I was not disappointed!!

The ZoZo phenomena, and Ouija boards in general, is a controversial subject that much of the paranormal field is divided on. Many people don't believe that there is any truth behind talk of the Ouija being dangerous, and do not believe in entities such as ZoZo existing.

Darren Evans' experiences with the board and the spirit that comes from it named ZoZo lead him into a lifelong quest to find the truth behind this phenomena. Truth, however, is a little difficult to discern when it comes to the paranormal. Does Darren have all of the answers? Not yet, and he is the first to tell you that he is no expert, he doesn't know all of the facts, and he may never know them but it is amazing just how much about this phenomena he DOES know.

Here are some facts that we do have regarding ZoZo:

• It is a world wide phenomena, happening to people from many different cultures, religions, and backgrounds. The common factor is not in the people, but in the manner in which ZoZo contacts them.

• In a book written in 1906, ZoZo is described as a demon, being one and the same as Pazuzu, the Assyrian-Chaldean god that appears in the movie The Exorcist.

• The ZoZo entity has made many predictions of future events that have come to fruition.

There are many other facts about the ZoZo phenomena, along with other accounts of experiences with ZoZo that can be found at Darren's Blogspot page, http://zozotheouijaspirit.blogspot.com/

Darren had two hours with our hosts to discuss this phenomena, and he was a wonderful guest full of information, opinions, and most importantly, honesty. Darren also talked about how he has been treated in some instances regarding his opinions on “Mr.Z” as he calls him, and the Ouija Board phenomena that revolves around the letter Z. Criticism has been high, yet he continues on, documenting everything he finds, fining commonalities among them that many others may have missed, and researching for other instances of ZoZo in history.

Many have accused him of being obsessed...if that is the case, then I ask you all, are we not ALL obsessed? Do we not all continue, investigation after investigation, book after book and article after article read, data after data analyzed, to research the area of paranormal that we are interested in, in constant search of answers? Most of us prefer to call ourselves 'passionate' or 'determined'. Most of us say we are not willing to give up. I ask why should Darren be any different? I also ask how any of us can claim to know things about this phenomena that Darren doesn't until we have put the hours into it that he has? Some things to think about...

If you have experienced ZoZo or any other Z entity, or happen to come across a case involving this phenomena, feel free to contact Darren, he is more than willing to help. And try to have an open mind. :)
