I received an email about Robbie Thomas being on a recent "radio" show (December 15 or 16) and though I haven't had a chance to listen to the program yet (I have to put all my forks away or the "radio" show will drive me to poke my eyes out - Robbie is a consistent liar and an abuser of the English language. Listening to his radio programs involves a re-write of the dictionary to make his statements even close to sensible - but enough with the ad hominem attack), but I followed some of the links they included in the email.
First, let me point you to further proof that Robbie Thomas is a scumbag - on the following site, Danielle Egnew advertises her upcoming (at the time) participation in the Psychic Justice Tour (which failed miserably because of supposed anthrax attacks (though I suspect the more likely reason being that he is such a horrible liar)). The advertisement that is placed on the site is almost verbatim what Robbie had initially used when promoting his tour - so Danielle Egnew can really only be guilty of failing to even do a cursory search of Robbie's (false) claims. Robbie Thomas continues to use and abuse already victimized families by claiming to have been involved in solving their cases - even when the cases haven't been solved. That's what a scumbag does.
http://www.wix.com/backseatbordello/psychic
Danielle will be the featured guest speaker during the Los Angeles leg of renowned criminal Psychic Profiler Robbie Thomas' Psychic Justice Tour dedicated to the families and victims of unsolved crimes, hitting 30+ cities in two countries thus far. The Los Angeles event is tentatively scheduled for July / August of 2010, times and venue TBA.
The tour showcases Robbie Thomas, whose TV pilot "Psychic Justice" has already been shot, discussing his 18 years as a psychic criminal profiler while presenting his involvement with sensitive high profile cases such as Victoria Stafford (Woodstock, ON), Elisha McMaster (Toronto, ON), Cesar Ivan Aguilar-Cano (Louisville, KY) , Logan Tucker (Oklahoma City, Ok) Natalie Holloway (Birmingham, AL), Karen Caughlin (Sarnia, Ontario), Marc Campbell (Sarnia, Ontario) and many others.
I suspect that I needn't point out that the Natalee Holloway case has not been solved (notice the misspelling - I suspect it is to limit people finding out that he is abusing her name but it could simply be that Robbie is that stupid.) But, for those that don't know, the Elisha McMaster case is not solved (Elisha's mother, Jane, is still searching for help and, unfortunately, from other 'psychics'), the Karen Caughlin case is not solved (follow the link above for more information) and the Logan Tucker case is one that was not solved by Robbie Thomas.
The Logan Tucker story is available online and it clearly does not involve a psychic solving the crime. Other psychics who attempted to get involved were outed as failures (see Oklahoma is not "OK" for psychic) and as the body of the missing boy has still not been found, Robbie is obviously lying about his involvement in the case.
The Marc Campbell story will be for another entry - but, rest assured, Robbie Thomas did not solve the crime and definitely didn't do so with his so-called psychic powers.
Robbie Thomas is a liar and a fraud - these are not merely opinions but statements of fact. We've made these claims for a number of years and if they were not true, they would be actionable. As always, if Robbie Thomas wishes to sue me, I will happily identify myself to his lawyers and I would be overjoyed to expose his lies, further, in a court of law.

The Only Ones Who Didn't See it Coming? The Psychics
Simple questions can show the absurdity of psychic claims. Why are there still missing children? Why are there unsolved crimes? Why do you never see "Psychic wins lottery"? And, added to the list, If everyone else figured that Robbie Thomas' 'Paranormal Convention' was going to fail, why couldn't the 'Psychic' himself, see it coming?
Robbie Thomas (who is clearly not psychic) had scheduled his "Can-Am Parafest" for this coming weekend but, as we all suspected, it has been canceled. This is the third time that Robbie Thomas (who is not psychic) had attempted to put on a "convention" or "fest" and the first two had such dismal numbers that when SarniaSkeptic attended he increased (by percentage) the number of attendees by double digits.
Sadly, for believers, self-styled Psychic Robbie Thomas will continue on pretending like he has never had a failure and encourage people to hand over their hard-earned money for some lame party tricks and false hope.
In more than 18 years, Robbie Thomas has never solved a crime using his claimed 'psychic' powers because Robbie Thomas, like everyone else, is not 'psychic'. In the words of Tim Minchin, Robbie Thomas is either lying or he's mentally ill. So, if you meet Robbie Thomas and you think he's sincere - the latter might just be the only possibility.

Unsolved crimes are about to be a thing of the past.. not quite
We've blogged regularly about Robbie Thomas falsely claiming to support charities and non-profit organizations but this one is a little different. Robbie actually has found a person who will allow him to use her non-profit organization to suggest legitimacy of his con game.
Jennifer Romero is the founder of an organization called "Mothers of Murdered Youth" and is the mother of a murder victim. Her 13 year old child was killed in a drive-by shooting. My heart goes out to her. This site is about protecting victims from further abuse by psychics - not about faulting people who accept the assistance of the liars and cheats. We can completely understand why it is that families of lost loved ones will reach out for help - any kind of help. For some, hope, it seems, is all they have. Many families feel that not enough is being done to solve their cases and accept any offers of help.
The problem here is that Jennifer is not about to get help. She is about to be (and currently is being) abused. Robbie Thomas is not psychic and has absolutely no legitimate skills that will provide any relevant information that may assist in solving crimes.
If Robbie Thomas was truly a "supporter" of Mothers of Murdered Youth and he can solve crimes, why doesn't he simply solve the crimes? That'd be real support. He can't - that's why he doesn't. He isn't psychic - he's lying.
And, doesn't it seem odd that Robbie Thomas of Sarnia, Ontario would be supporting a small-time non-profit in Colorado and not a local organization? It isn't odd when you consider that Robbie's previous attempts to abuse (err... use) local groups, to provide himself an appearance of legitimacy, has resulted in emails and letters demanding that he remove their names and logos from his site. Legitimate organizations distance themselves from outright liars and frauds or they stop being legitimate organizations.

Welcome to StopRobbieThomas.com
On this site you will find a number of blog entries that speak about claimed psychics, the harm they do and the lies they tell. The links section will send you to sites that speak about police and 'psychics', missing children organizations and a number of other relevant items. For many of the "bloggers" on this site, Robbie Thomas is a local/homegrown non-psychic and, for that reason, this blog does have a lot of information specifically about Robbie Poulton/Robbie Thomas and the harm that he does.
We encourage you to read through the blog entries (scroll down and use the menu on the right hand side), check out the links and learn more about 'psychics' and Robbie Thomas. For starters, here are some things that you might be interested in:

We encourage you to read through the blog entries (scroll down and use the menu on the right hand side), check out the links and learn more about 'psychics' and Robbie Thomas. For starters, here are some things that you might be interested in:
- Imagine being told your child is still alive after they are brutally murdered: Robbie (Poulton) Thomas tells Tori Stafford's family that their abducted little girl is alive and will return home safely (on April 13, 2009). Her body is recovered July 19, 2009 and we now know that she was murdered 5 days before Robbie told the family she was still alive. (More...)
- Making blatantly false claims and then suggesting the police are incompetent: On December 7, 2007, John Ramses (who has since ditched and exposed Robbie) put out a "press release" that states: "medium Robbie Thomas is asking why Caesar Aguilar-Cano was left to die by the hands of a known child abuser after Thomas had provided accurate details to police and news networks as to Cano's whereabouts only two days after the child went missing." These claims are false - Robbie Thomas did not provide accurate information (discussed here) and the suggestion that the police failed to act is an absurd and abhorrent one.
- What if someone promised to you that your pain would soon end only to have that very person use and abuse you? In June of 2005, Robbie Thomas tells the family of a local murder victim that their case would be solved within 6 months. The case, to this day, remains unsolved. The family has spoken out about Robbie Thomas. If that wasn't enough, he made disparaging remarks about the family on a radio program and has used pictures and information relating to their murdered sister/family member to promote himself.
- A family suffers a devastating loss and someone enters the picture to make it even worse: A family loses 10 family members to what is clearly ruled as an accidental house fire from the ash of a cigarette but, when Robbie visits, he tells the family that it was not an accident and that it was intentionally set. (If that were the case, the presence of an accelerant would have been noticed by the investigation. Robbie is simply making things up and ruining a family as a result.)
- Robbie has claimed involvement in the Natalee Holloway case (still not solved).
- Robbie has claimed involvement in the Casey/Caylee Anthony case (was not solved by any 'psychic').
- 100% failure rate: Robbie Thomas claims that he has been involved in "Psychic Criminal Profiling" for 20+ years. To this date, he has solved 0 cases using his claimed psychic powers.

He's at it again - claiming to support another unsuspecting charity/non-profit
Update (Feb 27, 2011):
Robbie Thomas, I suspect, was contacted by the Northern Ontario CrimeStoppers organization to have their logo taken off of his site (See below for more info). Win!
Robbie Thomas has, in the past, used logos and names from non-profit organizations and charities to suggest that the monies that he collects are going to a good cause. That may be the case - the money might be going to these charities - but what he is implying is much more.
In the past he has used organizations like "Child Find Canada" and "National Center for Missing and Exploited Children" and a number of other organizations. Generally Robbie has been notified by them that they do not support psychics and request (demand?) that he remove their logos from his site.
At other times, Robbie has either made up or mis-identified the charity that he is supporting (ie. Childhood Diabetes Association). Though we can only speculate why he would so clearly fail to identify an actual charity, I would guess that he was just making stuff up like he often does. Either that, or he was afraid that the people here (at http://www.stoprobbie.com/) would actually contact the organizations and let them know what Robbie is claiming.
A few days ago, Robbie Thomas (is not psychic) put up "Breaking News" on his site that stated his paranormal convention was Proud Sponsors of .. and had a copy of our local Crime Stoppers logo. The crew here notified our local Crime Stoppers Coordinator and, today, the logo has been replaced with another (but not local) Crime Stoppers logo. This time from an organization based in Northern Ontario and Northern Minnesota. See it for yourself at http://www.robbiethomas.net/.
Does it make sense that a local resident, Robbie Poulton, would organize a local event (that changes names yearly because it has flopped consistently so far?) and then send the money to a non-local organization many hours away? Maybe it does to someone who lies, regularly, about his involvement with Police. Robbie Thomas (Poulton) has NEVER solved a crime using psychic abilities and he claims he has been doing it for 20 years.
If you know anyone at http://www.tipshelp.com/ (info@tipshelp.com and coordinator@tipshelp.com are listed as contacts on the site), please let them know that Robbie Thomas is using their logo (and name) and implying that he sponsors their organization.

Another dream crushed
Luckily the dream wasn't that of an unsuspecting person who turned to a psychic for help - this time it was Robbie Thomas proving that he's not psychic.
A few weeks ago I had posted some information about what Robbie Thomas (and friends) are up to these days.
There was a promising (ha) project in the works - "Paranormal Dream Team Tackles Triangles". It was created by some guy who claims to have invented an "EMF Typewriter" (It is as stupid as it sounds, yes) and featured himself, Robbie Thomas (the one that claims to be psychic but isn't) and "Leading EVP Researcher Specialist" (really? that's his title? Researcher Specialist?), Michael Esposito. (Sadly, I considered Michael Esposito to be a close friend and fairly respectable. His connection with Robbie Thomas has brought myself and a number of other people to "the other side". Wake up Michael, you're better than this.)
The "Paranormal Dream Team" page states this in the "About This Project" section:

The "Paranormal Dream Team" page states this in the "About This Project" section:
Leaders in their field, this team of experts will explain the unexplainable and have fun doing it. Often putting their lives on the line to get scientific proof of the the existence of the paranormal, these explorers will bring you the latest in scientific evidence from around the world.The project, on Kickstarter, was seeking $20,000 in funding for the project to get off the ground but, shortly after Sarnia Skeptic posted the following comment on the site, the project was canceled by the creator.
For their first expedition, they will travel 20,000 miles to bring you proof of the existence of extraterrestrials and UFOs.
Is this the same Robbie Thomas as featured on http://www.robbiethomastours.com/??
A double strike against our "Paranormal Dream Team". I guess they failed to predict that it would be a massive failure. Not even a single dollar was contributed (Sarnia Skeptic told me that he had planned on donating $1 to it but when he returned today, it was canceled).
Robbie Thomas is not psychic, has never solved a missing persons or murder case using his claimed psychic powers and, until he produces evidence to the contrary, any claims that he has should be considered lies.

2010 Comes and Goes and Robbie Thomas Solves 0 Cases
Robbie Thomas is not psychic so, for most of us, it comes as no surprise that he has not solved a single case (using his claimed psychic powers) in 2010. Mind you, he has never solved a case using psychic powers. Robbie Thomas would claim that he has been doing this for 20 years but he has yet to provide a shred of evidence to support his claims that he has helped solve crimes.
We have covered this before but I think it needs to be pointed out. "Psychic" Robbie Thomas has a "Cases" page on his website that lists cases that he claims to have been involved in. Some cases that he refers to are still, to this day, unsolved (one would have to assume that any help he provided didn't result in solving the case and would not support his claims). Other cases are years old - not a single one from 2010.
The two most recent cases (Cesar Cano and Tory Stafford) that were solved did not involve Robbie Thomas working with the Police. Neither of the forces have given any credit to Robbie Thomas (or any psychic for that matter) and that is simply because Robbie Thomas is lying about being a psychic.
This site was setup to stop the abuse of people who are already the victims of horrendous crimes. "Psychics" preying on desperate families is disgusting and deplorable. If you have lost a loved one to a kidnapping or a murder, we encourage you to avoid "psychics" and the pain, suffering and abuse that will come with it.
KlassKids Foundation and Project Jason have had dealings with "psychics" and have issued stern warnings about them.

I can't wait - a new "movie" by the not psychic Robbie Thomas
This could be breaking news - Robbie Thomas is setting up a new webpage for a "movie" called "Death Walk".
I think the tagline for the movie is "If you can't find a lighter, here's another way to burn your money - buy this movie". At least he's honest (he's not).
Here's the poster for the movie:
And, just for you, a link to the new website (still being worked on?) - http://deathwalkmovie.com/
(I really like that he has a "Robbie Thomas Films", a "Robbie Thomas Offices" and also his wife is associate director and the cast are the same old same old. I searched for Jessica Lynn (I would not suggest it - the results are not safe for work) and "Gate Productions" but couldn't find anything that seemed relevant. "Gate Productions" has a credit (1 of 4 production companies involved) in "The Gate" (1987) but I could not locate a website. "The Gate" was taped in Kleinberg, Ontario)

Help Remind Robbie That We're Not Going Away
Robbie has a number of YouTube videos that he has blocked me (and other contributors to this site) from commenting on. Could you do us a favour and let him know that we're not giving up?
I tried posting on this video but, as you can see, I'm blocked from doing so. (I'll have to upload the image later - it is giving a server error when I attempt to add a picture.)
My comment was: Robbie Thomas claims to have solved the Victoria Stafford case - though, almost a week after she had been brutally murdered, he did tell the family she was still alive and would return home alive and well. Court documents were just released and Robbie was NOT involved in solving the crime. The baseline killers case is no different. Robbie is a liar and a fraud.

Hold your false look of surprise: Robbie lied
Well, the publication ban has been lifted on the Tori Stafford case and, as suspected, Robbie Thomas was NOT involved in solving that crime (he has never solved a crime using his claimed psychic abilities).
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/2010/12/09/16485601.html
Details also show that, not only was Robbie not involved in solving the crime, he (as mentioned here and on my other blog http://sarniaskeptic.blogspot.com/) actually told the family that Tori was alive and would be found alive and well - about a week after she was brutally murdered.
April 8 - Tori goes missing. (Abducted)
April 8 - Abductors buy garbage bags and a hammer.
April 8 - Lifeless body is disposed of.
April 13 - Robbie Thomas claims (on X-Zone radio) that Tori Stafford would be found alive and safe. (He also told the family this as was reported in the London Free Press and other websites)
I will make a prediction now. Robbie Thomas' solved cases counter will not change in the next 9 years. Robbie Thomas has solved 0 cases in 18 (or 20) years. A perfect record!
If you have a moment, congratulate Robbie - robbiethomas@cogeco.ca (and, if you do, carbon copy us - emailus@stoprobbie.com)

Fanshawe's Student Voice: Solving crimes from the other side
Robbie recently had a "news" item published in Fanshawe's Student Voice. The incredulous piece written by Jessica Ireland goes through the standard shtick that Robbie gives out - with changes that Robbie makes because he isn't good at telling the same story.
Read: Solving crimes from the other side
A subsequent letter to the editor, Psychic into self promotion refers to http://www.stoprobbie.com/ and the incredulity of the report. Thank you, Ian Koropatnick, for your letter to the editor!
Ironically, Robbie holds firmly to the idea that he "assisted" in the Victoria (Tori) Stafford case (which he didn't solve). Since that case, thousands of murders and abductions have happened yet Robbie hangs on to this horrible example as if it was the "best" he had done.
The very next blog entry on this site: "Is he lying or just not familiar with the English language?" deals with the cases that Robbie claims to have been involved in so I won't go through it here.
Robbie is claiming he has been a "psychic criminal profiler" for 20 years (ignore for a moment that we have copies of all of his old websites and the "psychic criminal profiler" title is only a few years old for him) and he only refers to a handful of cases? If he has psychic powers (he doesn't), they're hardly worth bragging about. 0 solved cases in 20 years. 0 recovered children in 20 years.
If you come across a site referring to Robbie Thomas, please email us at emailus@stoprobbie.com. We also encourage others to do what Ian Koropatnick did - speak up. Robbie Thomas is not psychic.

Robbie Spends About $100 and Brags About It
It seems that with Robbie's inability to put together a tour or draw a crowd of more than 30 people at almost anything he does, we would have little to write about Robbie. Maybe we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for this posting but, hey, it is about Robbie and scraping the bottom of barrels is his pastime. Here's proof:
Robbie claims to be an author and screenwriter, he claims to work with police in solving murders and missing persons cases, he claims that he has solved a bunch of cases and he even claims that the Vatican (oh, and the US Marshals) consult him. He makes a lot of crap up - we've already pointed that out.
This blog entry isn't about what Robbie Thomas made up - it's about what Robbie is pushing off as some sort of validity for himself.
On Robbie's new website (robbiethomas.net) he has recently added that he is "registered" with the Writers Guild of America, West (and he used a logo that doesn't match the one found on the Writers Guild website).
That's wonderful, Robbie may actually have registered his scripts with the Guild - it doesn't make them good, it doesn't make them worthwhile and it isn't something that few people could do. Anyone can register a script - shell out $20 and send them the material and you get a registration number - whoopty-f'in-doo.
For $20, I'm going to register the full contents of the Stop Robbie Thomas blog site.
Other than being out about $100, not much has changed for Robbie. Robbie Thomas is still not psychic, he is still not consulted by the Vatican, the US Marshals don't call on him and he has still not solved a single missing persons or murder case using any claimed psychic powers.

Remember the Psychic Justice Tour? What about ParaCon 2010?
Despite the tour being over, we must remember that it didn't end as Robbie Thomas had predicted. We know this because his poster suggested that he was doing a lengthy tour and it ended after about half a dozen shows (all with horrible numbers of attendees).
The border of his poster shows the cities that the tour was to include. Going through them...
Robbie Thomas was the organizer of CanAm ParaCon 2010 - held early August at the local Quality Inn. Since the event we have been able to confirm a number of details.
1.) There was no ghost tour held at the Lawrence House
2.) Less than 40 people (including speakers and family) were in attendance (a Quality Inn employee tells us that there MAY have been as many as 20 people in the room but an attendee says they counted 32 different people including speakers and family members)
Other Notes
Robbie Thomas is no longer advertising his Queen Mary "tour". Interestingly, when contacted, the staff at the Queen Mary were unaware of who Robbie Thomas was and were not aware of any scheduled tours with him.
Robbie Thomas' "best selling" book has not sold any copies on Amazon which probably means that all customer reviews on other book selling sites are probably fake.
Many of the contributors to this blog have been banned from commenting on Robbie Thomas' videos on YouTube. If you have a YouTube account, consider adding a comment to Robbie's videos and make reference to this site.

Typical Robbie Thomas
A follower of this site alerted us to an update on Robbie Thomas dot Net. Following the "Cases" link you will find a copy of an email:
Robbie Thomas is not psychic.
----- Original Message -----However, the very same "Rob" that supposedly sent Robbie that email now has Robbie listed on his: "The 'X' Zone Order of Woo Woos" (http://www.xzoneorderofwoowoos.com/) and beside Robbie Thomas' name is the following:
From: Producer
To: rob thomas
Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 10:18 AM
Subject: 'X'Zone Radio
Dear Robbie,
Sometimes I think you are an angel...I'm sorry I didnt get your reply in time , but,....It all worked out okay .
I have wonderful news,... Coreys' mom just called and he is fine ! He was ticked off, just like you said.....he said he didn't think anyone would even notice he was gone. Thank-you for all you have done Robbie..........we so very much appreciate it.
God Bless, Laura and Rob
Psychic who claimed 8-year-old Victoria Stafford would be found well and safe on April 13 2009 on The 'X' Zone. On Sunday July 19 2009, her lifeless body was found near Mount Forest, Ontario.Reports suggest that Victoria Stafford was murdered within a day (or two) of the abduction (April 8, 2009). Not only was Robbie Thomas wrong about Victoria Stafford being found well and safe - at the time he made such a claim, she had already been murdered.
Robbie Thomas is not psychic.

About Robbie Thomas - Cutting through the crap
Robbie Thomas(claimed psychic)'s latest website (he has changed his website almost as often as he's changed his stories) has an all-new (but really tired) "About Robbie Thomas". See it for yourself at http://www.robbiethomas.net/ if you'd like - or read it with a proper interpretation right here.
Robbie references his "success" as having (in the past) seen two screen plays being (currently) written. This is probably completely made-up but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt. The "third in development for a trilogy titled 'Paradox'" is interesting when you consider that 'Paradox' (as per the auto-reply email that I got from his email address in February) was supposedly "... coming to screens everywhere in 2009. Robbie produced, directed and wrote the screenplay for this factual based movie based on the Paranormal and twisted it with Horror." (See the bottom of a previous blog entry by Sarnia Skeptic.) Or check out Robbie's YouTube video advertising it.
The CanAmParafest.com site is (at the time of writing) not active. Robbie has changed the name of the event each year with the website for each year disappearing shortly after the event was supposed to have happened. At this point we have not heard from a single person who attended the 2010 event (if it even happened) but we do know that 2009 was a flop (I went).
In 20 years (Robbie claims, now, that he has been doing this for 20 year) he has never solved a case - I wouldn't consider that to be "successful" assistance. Countless missing person's groups sternly state that they do not work with psychics and many have posted formal warnings about the harm that psychics do/have done/can do.
The Cano case (also listed on the "Cases" page) was not solved by Robbie Thomas.
The issue of Robbie being featured in magazines does not change anything. If your life and career are based on blatant lies and fraudulent claims, it doesn't matter how many magazines or newspapers you are in - the lies are no more true and the false claims are no less false - you are a liar and a fraud.
Until Robbie Thomas presents a single bit of supporting evidence to back up his claims, we will have to assume that the claims are false. And that's all you need to know about the non-psychic Robbie Thomas.
For humour, check out this contract that Robbie Poulton/Robbie Thomas created for another project he was supposed to do: http://www.prrsociety.org/contract.html.
ABOUT ROBBIE THOMAS Robbie Thomas is a Best Selling Author with the book Paranormal Encounters. He has also three other books, published titles are...Signs From Heaven, To You From Spirit and A Link To Heaven...Chats With The Other Side. His success has seen two screenplays being written with a third in development for a trilogy titled, 'Paradox' in the Paranormal Horror genre.First of all, Robbie Thomas (if at all) is only a best selling author compared to other books at his little known publisher. No major magazines or newspapers have identified either of his books as best sellers ever.

Robbie produced, directed and wrote the screenplay for this factual based movie based on the Paranormal and twisted it with Horror." (See the bottom of a previous blog entry by Sarnia Skeptic.) Or check out Robbie's YouTube video advertising it.
Robbie is a contributing Author to three other titles one of which he worked with Award Winning Screenwriter, Gloria Shepherd. With Paranormal Encounters being a Best Seller there is more to come from Robbie, keep your eyes open for the new smash hit book 'Paradox The Gates Of Hell' coming soon!How does a book that hasn't even been completed/released become a smash hit? Oh, I forgot - Robbie claims to be psychic and any psychic worth anything would be able to predict the outcome. (Let's forget, for a moment, that Robbie Thomas is not psychic.)
Robbie has worked with many integral individuals within the paranormal community and starred in the critically acclaimed hit movies, The Sallie House and Dead Whisper. Robbie is also an outstanding professional motivational speaker as an expert in the metaphysical/spiritual/paranormal industry. He hosts the Can-Am Parafest Events in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada each year that sees a variety of celebrities speakers from television and film come to present on various topics in the Paranormal, Horror and Comedy genre's. For more information on the CanAm Parafest Events go to www.canamparafest.comNeither The Sallie House nor the Dead Whisper were hit movies if you follow any definition of "hit movie" that I could find. Robbie is hardly an outstanding professional motivational speaker - http://www.ghostlytalk.com/audio/Can-AmParacon2009/01-robbiethomas.mp3 - this was a talk from the 2009 ParaCon event.
The CanAmParafest.com site is (at the time of writing) not active. Robbie has changed the name of the event each year with the website for each year disappearing shortly after the event was supposed to have happened. At this point we have not heard from a single person who attended the 2010 event (if it even happened) but we do know that 2009 was a flop (I went).
He has successfully assisted in murder/missing persons cases for twenty years with different Law Enforcement Agencies and families internationally as a Psychic Criminal Profiler.Robbie Thomas has never solved a missing persons or a murder case by using any claimed psychic powers. No police have ever credited him with solving them. On Robbie's "Cases" page, he refers to the Victoria Stafford case. A family member had written Robbie a letter and he uses it (incessantly) to push his abilities though he did not solve the case. The police force that was involved in the case does not work with psychics and did not solve this particular case with the help of Robbie Thomas - police work and community support is what caught the alleged murderers (oh, did Robbie forget to mention to everyone that he claimed that Victoria was alive many days after she had been murdered?) (Sarnia Skeptic has talked about this case extensively here, here, here and here.)
In 20 years (Robbie claims, now, that he has been doing this for 20 year) he has never solved a case - I wouldn't consider that to be "successful" assistance. Countless missing person's groups sternly state that they do not work with psychics and many have posted formal warnings about the harm that psychics do/have done/can do.
The Cano case (also listed on the "Cases" page) was not solved by Robbie Thomas.
Robbie has been featured in many magazines world wide, notables would be, Paranormal Magazine (England), Fix Magazine (Canada), Unexplained Paranormal Magazine (United States), Haunted Times Magazine (UnitedStates), Silent Voices (England), Visions Magazine (United States) and many more.Forgive me, Jessica (the publisher of Fix Magazine), but Fix Magazine is not a "notable" "world wide" magazine - it is a good local arts and entertainment magazine (http://www.fixmagazine.ca/). I have a hunch that, though he may have been featured in it in the past, a second feature won't be happening.
The issue of Robbie being featured in magazines does not change anything. If your life and career are based on blatant lies and fraudulent claims, it doesn't matter how many magazines or newspapers you are in - the lies are no more true and the false claims are no less false - you are a liar and a fraud.

Miss the psychic justice tour? Not really.
It has been a while since we blogged about Robbie Thomas - with the disappearance of his "psychic justice tour", there hasn't been a whole lot to say. I would like to say that I miss the psychic justice tour but that wouldn't be the truth. Society is a better place when pseudo-psychics and liars* are not actively abusing and using innocent and trusting people.
*Robbie is both - he's claimed to have worked with the Vatican! He also claims to have solved missing persons and murder cases using his psychic powers which we are certain is a blatant lie. Oh, and he claims he has worked with the Vatican! It needs to be repeated, yes. Never mind the fact that the Vatican does not accept psychic powers - but they seem to be bedfellows with liars so that might be his connection.
In less than a couple of weeks, Robbie Thomas will be holding the 2nd annual Canam ParaCon in Point Edward (Robbie claims it is in Sarnia - but then Robbie claims a lot of things that aren't true). His list of speakers has faced a number of revisions (Members of the http://www.stoprobbie.com/ team and a number of other people felt the need to contact many of the potential speakers to let them know a little bit about Robbie - Robbie wants publicity and we're out to give him a hand.) to the point where it is a couple of Robbie's close friends (also harmful to society) and Aron Houdini (who, we're told, may not be attending either).
Here's the low-down as it appears on his site. The event is scheduled for August 6th and 7th - August 6th is only a "Celeb Party" where you can "meet and greet the celebrities from your favourite television shows and movies" (Unless your favourite movies and shows are ones that feature Robbie Thomas, Keith Age, David Fultz and Michael Esposito, I suspect you're going to be disappointed). To attend the "Celeb Party", you have to purchase the "Ghost Pass Package" for $129 - which also gives you access to the August 7th conference and a ghost hunt at the Lawrence House later on the 7th (hint: there are no ghosts, the hunt will, again, be fruitless). Otherwise you can purchase a $50 ticket for the August 7th conference only.
The "Ghost Pass Package" is limited to 50 people (it will not sell out) and we suggest it will be the biggest waste of money you could find in the area. (You could have seen Rush - VIP - in Sarnia a couple weeks ago for only $119! You would have also got what you paid for.)
Vendor booth prices have also dropped through the floor - the price is now only $50! And it, too, seems to be only for one day.
Oh, if you are a skeptic and plan on attending the ParaCon, do not purchase tickets - contact us at emailus@stoprobbie.com - you'll understand why once we hear from you :) .

Other Robbie News
Robbie has replaced his website with one created by, I'm told, one of his children. On the site you can book a reading for $150/half hour, $250 for an hour or have one question answered via email for $20 ($40 for 2, $60 for 3 - what a deal!). You can also sign up for his newsletter - one year for only $29.95!
Reassuringly, he hasn't changed his approach, though: he's still using victims of crime for the promotion of himself and his wares. See for yourself at http://www.robbiethomas.net/.

Robbie Thomas' 100% Inaccuracy
Robbie was recently in Sioux City, Iowa to visit his girlfriend "perform", on stage, a cold case reading for the Jodi Huisentruit case. In Robbie's advertisements for the "show", he claimed:
"Robbie doing a live cold case reading on the untimely disappearance of News Anchor Jodi Huisentruit from Mason [City,] Iowa. On scene Death Investigator Gary L. Peterson will be in attendance on stage. You will witness never before seen real time investigative work with a Psychic Detective LIVE as information will be passed along to assist in this case."
Robbie's prediction that Gary Peterson would be on stage: FAILED
As you'll see in the documents that I link to, Gary Peterson called in and did not appear on stage.
Okay, so that's a bit weak for a failure, you say?
How about this - Robbie Thomas interviewed/was interviewed by Gary Peterson 2 years ago. The case still remains unsolved. This, alone, should leave people wondering what good psychic powers are if they can't solve a case in two years. But, and I digress, people can't be reasoned out of a belief that they weren't reasoned into - so belief in psychics continues.
It is often claimed that Robbie Thomas has solved 0 cases in 18 years and, though that is almost certainly the case, the fact remains that there is not a single case in recorded history that has been solved using what people claim to be psychic powers. Robbie Thomas is not alone in his complete and clear level of failure.
As I mentioned at the start of this entry, Robbie was recently in Sioux City to do another "reading" for the Jodi Huisentruit case but, before I go on, let me say this: we do not fault families and friends from grasping at straws. At times when there appears to be no hope - any hope, even false hope, that is offered is hard not to accept. Robbie Thomas' offers to assist would be honourable and just if he simply were telling the truth - he isn't.
On the http://www.findjodi.com/ site, are three recent articles that speak about Robbie's (at the time) upcoming reading and then the subsequent statements about the reading from both Gary Peterson and Robbie Thomas. Robbie's (limited) writing skills in his statement, oddly, match the writings of "defenders" of Robbie on sites such as Topix and his recent coverage for his Ft. Wayne show. As the FindJodi.com site is likely to be updated with "Psychic Solves Cold Case", here are the direct links to the articles. (I'm ready for someone to quote-mine that one.)
Huisentruit to be Topic of Upcoming Psychic Reading Event
Gary's Update from Robbie Thomas Event
Robbie Thomas Summarizes Event
On the first link there is an audio file from the 2008 reading/interview that Robbie Thomas and Gary Peterson had.
Without going into the specifics (of which it wasn't very specific) of what Gary and Robbie claim Robbie provided for information, let me make it clear that Robbie is clearly abusing the English language when he refers to "facts". At this point in time, much of what he claims is either knowledge obtained earlier, clear speculation or completely made up stuff. If there is one "fact", it is that Robbie is not afraid to make up stuff (his crew claimed that people were handing out envelopes anthrax at his first event).
Everything that was provided that turns out to be true will have to be countered by everything else that turns out to be false. Any suggestion that Gary gives about Robbie knowing things that nobody else knew is a clear indication of his willingness and desire to believe that Robbie has some psychic abilities. The reality is that if Gary knew it, he either was the criminal and the only person who could know it or Robbie could have learned the information the same way (or another way) that Gary, himself, learned it.
Even if Robbie happened to guess correctly about something (so insignificant) like this, it was information that was already known. What a real psychic should have been able to do is to name the murderer, produce the body and give the location of the criminal(s) involved. Otherwise, what good are these so-called psychic abilities?
Vague, non-specific information is absolutely useless in the resolution of a crime. Though it might give hope (false hope at best) it is a waste of police resources and can divert attention from the "real" evidence. Robbie Thomas' actions are the complete opposite of helpful.
As we have recently received a number of emails from people claiming "how do you explina the Tori Stafford case?" (their spelling), "robbie solved the stafford case" and a few others with similar claims, let me restate it firmly here.
Robbie Thomas was NOT involved in solving the Tori Stafford case. Robbie Thomas is a liar if he claims anything different. The only thing that Robbie could retro-fit to the crime was that he "saw" wagon wheels. Seriously. That's it. "Wagon wheels?" you ask, yes, wagon wheels. He, after the fact, claims that the wagon wheels represented Amish "country" - near where her body was found.
Do you think Robbie would have said "I was wrong, I meant wagon wheels from Amish carriages" if where Tori was found was near a kids play area that had a wagon or if the body was found at another person's home that also had kids? Nope, you can be sure that he would have said "the wagon wheels represented the presence of other children" or "there was a wagon only about 12,000 feet away". If you think I'm kidding, consider Sarnia Skeptic's ball kicking of Robbie on the Cezar Cano case.
You'd also have to ignore the fact that the Ontario Provincial Police have claimed that they do not use psychics and that the facts of the case will show that police work and community involvement solved the crime. As for the Cezar Cano case - the Louisville Police have stated that "when the case goes to court, I think you'll see that Robbie Thomas is fabricating a story".
"Robbie doing a live cold case reading on the untimely disappearance of News Anchor Jodi Huisentruit from Mason [City,] Iowa. On scene Death Investigator Gary L. Peterson will be in attendance on stage. You will witness never before seen real time investigative work with a Psychic Detective LIVE as information will be passed along to assist in this case."

If you think I'm kidding, consider Sarnia Skeptic's ball kicking of Robbie on the Cezar Cano case.
You'd also have to ignore the fact that the Ontario Provincial Police have claimed that they do not use psychics and that the facts of the case will show that police work and community involvement solved the crime. As for the Cezar Cano case - the Louisville Police have stated that "when the case goes to court, I think you'll see that Robbie Thomas is fabricating a story".

Hey Robbie! Here's some free publicity!
Our great friend, Robbie Thomas (who is not psychic) needs some help with publicity so we're going to give it to him.
If you care to believe John Ramses (Robbie Thomas' ex-manager), Robbie Thomas is likely to be visiting his girlfriend (to his wife's dismay) in Sioux City, Iowa this week. It is advertised on Robbie's site that he will be doing a reading for the Jodi Huisentruit case.
However, it is interesting that the show following that one is ever changing. It was supposed to be in Louisville, Kentucky originally and then was moved locations and it has subsequently moved again. Robbie Thomas, though, does not list the location of this next show. (I am sure it was simply a mistake on his part.)
When I checked with them (before buying tickets), they told me that it was at:
Van Lear Volunteer Fire Department
Which is either at:
326 Millers Creek Road
Van Lear, KY 41265, United States
(606) 788-0177
OR
101 Euclid Avenue
Paintsville, KY 41240-1112, United States
(606) 789-5200
(and this site seems to confirm it)
The show is on May 21, 2010. I'm not suggesting that everyone should contact the Volunteer Fire Department to let them know that, to stand with the police and victimized families who DO NOT SUPPORT Robbie Thomas, the Fire Department might want to reconsider letting a known lying scumbag use their facilities. Someone should contact them, though.
To those that are planning on attending Robbie's shows with the goal of disrupting the performance, we ask that you do not. Please take the "high road" - Robbie Thomas is the lowlife slimeball and we don't want to stoop to his level.
Recordings of Robbie's shows and readings are much more valuable than disrupting a performance (hey, they have all had less than 30 people!). If you have recordings of Robbie (his readings, his shows, etc.) we would be interested in getting a copy of it or reviewing it. Please contact us at emailus@stoprobbie.com if you have anything that might help us in our quest to Stop Robbie Thomas.
