We predict the existence of Griffith phase in the dielectrics with concentrational crossover between dipole glass (electric analog of spin glass) and ferroelectricity. The peculiar representatives of above substances are $KTaO_3:Li$, $Nb$, $Na$ or relaxor ferroelectrics like $Pb_{1-x}La_xZr_{0.65}Ti_{0.35}O_3$. Since this phase exists above ferroelectric phase transition temperature (but below that temperature for ordered substance), we call it "para-glass phase". We assert that the difference between paraelectric and para-glass phase of above substances is the existence of clusters (inherent to "ordinary" Griffiths phase in Ising magnets) of correlated dipoles. We show that randomness play a decisive role in Griffiths (para-glass) phase formation; this phase does not exist in a mean field approximation.
