About Me


My name is Jose Maria Garcia, AKA Sancho, and I am a paranormal investigator.
I used to be a Roman Catholic priest, and a member of a secret Vatican organisation called Victory (a big shout out to all surviving V2 members!) We were a crack squad of exorcists who travelled the world battling demons, zombies, vampires and possessed naked ladies (my particular favourite ;)).
I went freelance in 1978 after a disagreement with Pope John Paul (1st, not 2nd) and in 1986 retired to obscurity in my homeland of Mexico. In 2003 I was back in the saddle again, teaming up with old (and I mean OLD) pals to battle my own personal demon, a battle in which I died. But! In 2006, after a disagreement with God at the Pearly Gates, following my release from Purgatory, I was banished from back to Earth from Heaven. Which was a pity, 'cause I coulda done with the rest.
However, although I'm 72, I now look and feel kinda 40-ish, so it all worked out. Still kinda mad at God, though.
