Eye on the Paranormal – Issue 17 ~ One Last Look

Welcome back to the Eye on the Paranormal.

A NEW YEAR’S EVE MESSAGE FROM UP HIGH

I believe in the power of prayer. I practice prayer numerous times every day. I also believe in simply talking to God and I know He talks back to me either through mental impressions, chance encounters with strangers, dreams of angels, and an occasional message directly from Him. On New Year’s Eve I was meditating about the subject of what I needed to do differently in 2009. An angel’s voice came to me and said, “Let go of being angry and upset with people in the paranormal field who are being less than ethical in their conduct. In the end they are only hurting themselves. Yes, they will continue to gather fame, fortune, and celebrity status in this life. But this life is only brief and temporary. And once this life is over and the race is done they will be judged by those who are perfect in nature. And none of their schemes, pleadings, or arguments will save their souls in the end. The future negative karma that they will have to endure will teach them the lesson that they refused to learn here on earth.

“The innocent that they take advantage of, those who blindly placed their trust in them because they are a celebrity, they are on TV, and have that trust broken and end up being used, will be rewarded in the heavens. For if one conducts negative actions towards another the victim in the end is not punished nor do they lose but they will be rewarded in the end.”

EDITORIAL COMMENT

There is an eye-opening book that everyone should try to read this year. It’s called “The Psychic Mafia” by M. Lamar Keene. The title may give you the impression that it’s a book to be taken lightly. It isn’t. It concerns the misconduct and the tricks of the trade that numerous psychics employed for many years while they were part of the Spiritualist church and readers at one of the biggest Spiritualist camps, Camp Chesterfield located in Indiana. A very interesting story is shared at the beginning of the book. A gentleman attends a service at a Spiritualist church where the reader who’s leading the service, an elderly man with failing eyesight, is obviously peeking through the blindfold and holding up the questions within an inch of his eyes so he could read them. The problem is a spirit guide was supposed to be telling him what was on the paper inside the envelope. The gentleman looks around the packed church and is amazed that no one else is seeing this. Other attendees are looking at the floor or the ceiling, or they see the reader doing it but they refuse to acknowledge the deception.

This is a great example of what’s going on in the paranormal community today. There are those that see the truth, know that there are others engaging in acts of dishonesty and trickery, and are making an effort to bring it to other people’s attention. But there are those who believe so strongly in whatever paranormal mockery is shown on TV simply because they need to believe in something. They refuse to see the deception. In the end not only is the entire paranormal community going to be devastated when someone, not on Blogger or hosting an internet radio talk show, but some larger power with letters like ABC, NBC, FOX or CNN begins to expose the truth.

TOPHER YOUNG CALLS RYAN BUELL AND OTHER PARA-CELEBRITIES FRAUDS

One of Ryan Buell’s personal assistants, Topher Michael Young who has been an outspoken critic of my efforts to expose the lies and fakery that his boss and Paranormal State engage in, must have experienced a Freudian slip while posting his comment on a previous blog.

“The fact still remains Kirby that you yourself are just as unethical and fraudulent as the people you attack and claim are.”

Now, if Mr. Topher Young would just reveal to the world his connection to Warren Peace on Blogger...

THE CHIP COFFEY V. BEATRICE MAROT SAGA - OR A WEEK OF LOVE & COMPASSION IN THE PARANORMAL COMMUNITY

You would have either not logged onto MySpace, received an email or read a previously posted blog concerning the Chip Coffey v. Beatrice Marot saga, which continues to rage across the Internet. I’m not going to rehash the whole sad episode. Google it and you can read it for yourself.

Before I go any further, let me say this about both Beatrice and Chip. I’ve never met either individual. With Beatrice I’ve exchanged emails. With Chip I’ve only posted a few comments on his blogs. He posted on mine and I’ve sent him two emails but never got a response. I don’t dislike either Beatrice or Chip. I have no axe to grind against either one nor am I interested in promoting one over the other.

In actuality, I feel sorry for both people. You see Chip is entering his senior years and there is no retirement plan for psychics. When you’re hot you’re hot but as soon as the iron of publicity and popularity begins to cool, the fame begins to wane, the readings become less numerous and the lucrative rates that you charge eventually have to decrease. In the psychic world every single day there’s a new crop of psychics popping up on the ‘net and other various forms of media. They all have the new hip phrases that the public is often clamoring for and their youthful appearance makes them media friendly. But I do have a few points I wish to make.

~1 Beatrice claims that she never intended to call Chip Coffey a pedophile. Let me say this here and now I may find Chip Coffey wanting in numerous areas of ethical conduct and being truthful about certain matters but let me make it clear: CHIP COFFEY IS NOT A PEDOPHILE. Beatrice claims that she was attempting to say “how would you like it if I called you a pedophile?” The passage that I’ve read that Beatrice wrote doesn’t come across it that way to me. But that’s the problem with emails you often push the send button faster than you should, or you don’t take time to proofread it. Emails may not be as clear on a topic as you would wish.

~2 Mr. Coffey claims he got the pedophile email when on the set of shooting the scripted paranormal show, Paranormal State. He was so outraged that he waited an entire week, returned home to Atlanta, posted a Merry Christmas blog, wishing love and kindness to all, and then days later he posted a blog where he proceeded to attack Beatrice for calling him a pedophile.

~3 I can understand Chip being upset concerning such allegations; being called a pedophile is a no-win situation. If you say you’re not people will say that he has to say that. But that being said, numerous individuals who felt that Mr. Coffey should have conducted this in a manner solely between him and Beatrice, and not post this sad saga on MySpace, contacted MySpace in droves that Saturday, asking for the offending blog to be removed, which MySpace did. Not Mr. Coffey removing it on his own, as he implies in his Blogger post, but it was MySpace’s decision. Earlier on that Saturday, I had posted a comment on that MySpace blog where I said there’s no room to be calling people pedophiles or questioning people’s sexual orientation. When Mr. Coffey reposted the blog over at Blogger, I kindly posted a welcome to Blogger message on his blog, which led Mr. Coffey to post a comment over here at the Eye on the Paranormal, inviting me to have a phone conversation with him. I was busy on a case and as soon as I had the opportunity, within 24 hours, I did email him. Here is Chip’s comment followed by my email:

Chip Coffey said...
Kirby,

Thanks for your kind comment to my blog here on Blogspot.

Perhaps it is time that we talked by phone? If you will send me an e-mail to chipcoffey @ aol.com, we can make arrangements to speak, if you choose to do so.

Dear Chip,
Thank you for your kind post. Yes, I would be interested in talking with you over the phone. I am going to be out of town until Christmas. What day after Christmas would be convenient for you?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Your friend in spirit,
Kirby
To date, I have not received a response from Mr. Coffey. I know he and John Zaffis discussed my conversation that I had with Mr. Zaffis over the phone, so Chip knows I’m not a raving lunatic. I don’t appreciate Mr. Coffey dragging me into this Beatrice v. Chip situation.

~4 The week of Christmas, the week that Mr. Coffey posted a message of hope and love and the reason for the season, he continued to attack Beatrice throughout that time period. But was it only Chip that was attacking Beatrice? His faithful followers proceeded to send her such kind emails as the following:

“From: name deleted [mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks,

“Leave Chip alone, you s*** ****er.”

”I JUST WANTED TO WRITE AND TELL YOU WHAT A DISGRACE YOU ARE AS A HUMAN BEING. TO ACCUSE SOMEONE OF BEING INTRESTED IN CHILDREN IS AS LOW AS YOU CAN GO. I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE JEALOUS OF CHIP BECAUSE HE IS DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE UNABLE TO DO. HE HAS THE RESPECT YOU WISH YOU COULD HAVE.YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE A GROWN WOMAN HOW ABOUT ACTING LIKE IT!!!!!!!”

”Beatrice Marot So your the bitch who is hating on Chip you know what F*** YOU C**T!!!”

“YOU SUCK! JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW MORE PEOPLE HATE YOU THEN LIKE YOU.”

~5 When Beatrice contacted Chip concerning these posts and asking him to post a comment on his blog to ask his followers to stop sending hate mail, Mr. Coffey refused to do so. Instead, Mr. Coffey and some of his followers proceeded to go to a site entitled RipoffReport.com and opened up a dangerous door that I think Chip and other para-celebrities are going to regret ever being opened. For those who don’t know, Ripoff Report is a respected web site. Anyone that has been wronged in a business type situation can go over and post a report of such activity and it can never be removed. There is no research conducted by Ripoff Report on whether the allegations are true and they have a very high ranking with Google. Chip and his followers proceeded to post numerous complaints against Beatrice on this site. Again, I got dragged into the situation by having one of Chip’s followers post a report as she was upset that I allowed Beatrice to post on my MySpace and Blogger blogs!

Like my granddaddy said, “once you open the barn door you ain’t ever getting the chickens back in.” I can see now, for example, somebody who doesn’t like a program, like Paranormal State, going through each and every episode and filing Ripoff Reports against every para-celebrity who appears on that show as being con artists. It’s a dangerous precedent that should never have been started and I don’t need tarot cards to tell me what’s going to happen next.

~6 My final comment on this whole situation is how do supposedly busy para-celebrities have time to sit on MySpace, blog, make comments, file Ripoff Reports, etc., etc., Aren’t para-celebrities out there supposedly helping people?

THE FIRST ANNUAL EYE ON THE PARANORMAL INDUCTION INTO THE PARANORMAL HALL OF SHAME

It’s time to induct the first group into the Eye on the Paranormal Hall of Shame. These para-celebrities and para-scoundrels have led the pack in acts of lies, distortion, deception, and manipulation that are going to lead to the downfall of the paranormal field’s credibility. These people are just examples of the greed, ignorance, lack of scientific evaluation, jumping to conclusions and the need to find those pesky demons behind each and every door.

~1 Laura from Paranormal State’s I AM SIX episode who attempted to foil the world into believing that she was demonically possessed by the same demon who was used in the film “The Exorcism of Emily Rose.” But the only thing this girl was possessed by was a bad case of the wannabes. Her acting will forever make Linda Blair’s performance in “The Exorcist” rank up there with the likes of Meryl Streep in any of her films. Laura’s “acting” ability was so weak that the only thing she could spontaneously come up with during the staged exorcism is “she’s so sleazy!” And the voice wasn’t modified at all. The only thing that was amazing about the performance is that A&E allowed it to be televised.

~2 Christopher Moon, the man behind the Phone to the Dead. If anyone does any kind of research concerning the claims about the history of such a device, it will only lead to dead ends. There’s no valid proof that Thomas Edison was ever connected to the Phone to the Dead, nor is there any valid proof that the spirit of Thomas Edison is the operator on the other side that Mr. Moon claims to contact. Only after the individual coughs up hundreds of dollars will Mr. Moon tell you the static is saying something that it’s not.

~3 Darkness Radio and its host Dave Schrader who attempts to pass off his radio show as a valid news program but this is nothing more than a glorified infomerical. It’s prerecorded, no calls are ever taken, and the para-celebrities that parade onto his show are never asked the tough, probing questions. The other sides of the issues are never discussed. It is laudable that is criticizes Christopher Moon for being a fake and a fraud, yet he refuses to do the same when it comes to numerous para-celebrities like Ryan Buell, Chip Coffey, and the shows they are affiliated with: “Paranormal State” and “Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal.”

~4 Lorraine Warren. Her deceased husband, Ed, was a good man, and sometimes good people end up doing things they regret to please the bad people in their lives. She is one of those responsible for helping to promote the Amityville Horror Hoax back in the 1970s and even after books, court cases, and signed statements have debunked the myth, she still travels the country charging several thousands of dollars selling the falsehood of the Amityville Horror.

~5 The first TV program to be inducted into the Hall of Shame is “Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal” which beat out a strong contender, “Most Haunted.” But the exploitation and endangerment of young children and families with emotional and psychological issues gave it the edge. In addition, they have their own Demon House episode, which has been proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it was staged and scripted.

TAPS LIES…
…if you believe that TAPS is deceiving you, here’s a petition you might want to sign.
We, the undersigned, are tired of being deceived by Sci-Fi Networks television reality show "Ghost Hunters" featuring paranormal superstars, The Atlantic Paranormal Society also known as TAPS. Furthermore, we the viewing audience pledge to cease watching the show indefinitely until paranormal occurrences portrayed on the show are proven (beyond a reasonable doubt) not to have been fabricated by the Ghost Hunters production team, namely Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson.

PARANORMAL STATE’S “I AM SIX” EPISODE REMOVED FROM YOUTUBE

Anyone that monitors Paranormal State’s activity over at YouTube has noticed a sudden disappearance of all five parts of the I AM SIX episode. Why is this? In addition, A&E has put the Paranormal State community board on comment approval. Are too many people becoming wise to the acts of deception and distortion that Paranormal State has engaged in? Particularly the lies and distortion they engaged in with the I AM SIX episode.

THE PHONE TO THE DEAD: 0% CREDIBILITY

Over the past few weeks we at the Eye on the Paranormal was given unlimited access to a Frank’s Box, or what Christopher Moon loves to call the Phone to the Dead. He claims on his web site an 88% accuracy rating for results. So, Eye on the Paranormal wanted to put such a claim to the test. An 88% accuracy rating is amazing, your average psychic barely can do 60%, and the really good ones are at 70%. Oh wait, there’s one exception -- when Chip Coffey does a walk-through on Paranormal State -- he has an amazing 100% accuracy rating! Then again, anyone can do that if fed the information before the reading. That being said, we came up with a test. For 48 straight hours we’d ask the box 20 questions allowing for a two-minute period between each question, which was recorded and checked for accuracy of the answers. Here are the 20 questions that we asked over and over:

~1 What year is it?
~2 What is the name of the holiday that is celebrated by most Christians on December 25?
~3 Who is the current president of the United States?
~4 What was the name of the team who won the World Series in 2008?
~5 What is the brand name of the bottle of soda that is sitting on the table in front of us?
~6 How many candles do we have burning in the room right now?
~7 Los Angeles has 2 NBA teams – what are their respective names?
~8 What is the name of the person who will be taking over the office of the president in 2009?
~9 What was the name of the team that won the Superbowl in 2008?
~10 Two leading actors died in 2008 – one had the first name of Charlton and the other’s first name was Paul – what are their last names?
~11 Who was the president who was assassinated in office during the Civil War?
~12 Los Angeles is located in what state?
~13 The name of this planet is ________?
~14 What was the name of the school that won the Rose Bowl in 2008?
~15 What nation held the summer Olympics in 2008?
~16 How many hands does a normal person have?
~17 How many toes does a normal person have?
~18 John Wayne, the famous actor, his nickname was “The ____”?
~19 The Tower of London is located in what city?
~20 Who is buried in Grant’s Tomb?

Out of these 20 simple questions the phone to the dead gave us 0 accurate responses. So anyone who tries to peddle this device as being anything more than just a sham piece of equipment is engaging in acts of fraud and should be reported to authorities as such. Trying to use the tagline “for entertainment purposes only” doesn’t relieve one from a moral responsibility for their actions.

CLOSING COMMENT

This will be the last Eye on the Paranormal for a while. I feel that we’ve accomplished what we set out to and my time right now would be much better served being available to my clients who are in need.

We have effectively shown that Paranormal State, and the numerous para-celebrities connected to it have engaged in a campaign of lies, distortion and deception to keep the public in the dark by carrying out a thorough analysis of each and every episode exposing the truth. They have yet to show beyond a reasonable doubt that any of my analysis has been wrong.

Kelli Ryan, who was a victim of Ryan Buell, Paranormal State, and Chip Coffey, had the courage to speak out and yet none of her allegations have been disproven to date.

No para-celebrity has had the courage to take up the Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge because they know they can’t pass the lie detector test. But the offer still stands.

Neither Chip Coffey nor Christopher Moon ever responded to our challenge concerning the phony Phone to the Dead. They know it’s a sham and they know that it doesn’t do what they claim it does.

The world is not found on MySpace, Blogger, YouTube, Google, A&E TV, etc. The world is out there. That’s where people who are in need of help can be found. It’s not about fame, wealth, power, prestige, or ratings. All those are brief and fleeting and will one day return to dust. Does this mean that the Eye is closed for good? Who knows when the Eye will open again? I don’t know.

I leave you with a quote. I hope numerous people out there take it to heart and truly understand what it’s saying.

“And if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all
knowledge, and if I have all faith,
so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.”
1 Corinthians 13:2

CALL TO ACTION

Just tell A&E you won’t watch them as long as Paranormal State is on the air. And share with them all the lies and deception that are taking place. Here’s the contact information:

It seems some folks just can’t learn to tell the truth and their lies just get sadder and sadder. The people over at PRS/PS have been caught red-handed. It’s time to ‘fess up.

For those who are unaware, during the investigation that was part of Paranormal State’s THE MESSENGER episode, it seems that the participants from PRS decided to plant a cold can of Budweiser on a bed to get Bill the ghost to appear.

Ryan and Chip enter the room and Ryan claims he picks up a cold spot and when the intrepid pair flip on the light they claim they see an outline of a person on the bed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyHjjDR9JBQ&feature=related The Messenger, Part 2

There are 3 things everyone can do in the effort to get the truth out to the general public and proper authorities. They’re free, and will only take a few moments of your time. But they can pay off big in exposure.

1) Call, write, and/or email Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and tell them that their product is being used without their permission and in an act of deception. Tell them it is reflecting badly on the image of such a respected corporation. Also, you might pitch some new taglines for their Budweiser Beer product. Mine are:

~ FORGET ABOUT MILLER TIME – IT’S DEAD TIME!
~ TAKE A SIX PACK OF BUD TO THE GRAVE WITH YOU!
~ THE KING OF DEAD BEER – BUDWEISER
~ BUD – THE BEER FOR THIS LIFE AND THE AFTERLIFE!

2) Lakeshore Entertainment is the production company behind the film “The Exorcism of Emily Rose.” It’s very clear that PRS/PS and/or Laura’s family is ripping off the story from this fine motion picture for the sake of 15 minutes of fame. Even Paranormal State puts to use the 1,2,3,4,5,6 from the film. So the production company should both be warned and compensated, or have the I AM SIX episode yanked. Here is the contact information:

3) Penn State is an established institution with a spotless reputation for serious research and above board practices. The president of the university needs to know how PRS is using and abusing its image. Call, write, and/or email them about what is happening.

THE PARANORMAL MOMENT OF TRUTH CHALLENGE

Dear Ryan Buell, Chip Coffey, Lorraine Warren, Sandra & Keith Johnson, Dr. Ron Milione, Tony Spera, Shannon & Jeff Sylvia, C.J. Sellers, Chris Moon, Michelle Belanger, Chad Calek, Michael & Marti Parry, Mark & Debby Constantino, Kim Russo, David Schrader, Reverend Andrew Calder, Reverend Bob Larson, Grant Wilson, and Jason Hawes:

I have expressed concerns about how you conduct your investigations and the validity of those investigations, where anyone with a clear and discerning eye can see that they are not authentic. I have also witnessed heavy-handed tactics being used against people who question your alleged authority within the paranormal community and dared to raise questions concerning the validity of appearing on the A&E shows, Paranormal State, and Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal. I can no longer sit by in silence. That is why I came up with The Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge, which will benefit you, your organization, the paranormal field, and a charity that would be assisted from the donation of the prize money.

1 ~ It would silence your critics if you are determined to be telling the truth about all your claims and how they are presented. There can be no one left to challenge your honesty and integrity.

2 ~ It would not only benefit your organization, but it would also help the entire paranormal field. Because if such evidence is true, it will be brought to a much wider audience, which hopefully would fuel additional legitimate investigations. So it’s a win-win situation for everyone.

3 ~ The charity of your choice would have the prize money donated to them. If the truth is being told, that prize money could reach $500,000.

So, what is The Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge? I am sure you’ve heard of the Fox Network program entitled The Moment of Truth. This is where a contestant is hooked up to a lie detector test and asked 50 questions, of which 21 of them are used on the actual show. As long as you tell the truth, you keep on winning money -- up to $500,000. The production company, Lighthearted Entertainment Inc., would jump at an opportunity of doing a show with the two of you. And I will put my personal credibility on the line and appear, as well. For if you visit my Free All Spirits page (www.myspace.com/freeallspirits), you’ll notice that I personally make what some would call outlandish claims concerning my work as a Demonologist/Exorcist/Paranormal Investigator/Caring Spiritual Adviser.

If you would like to be "one step closer to the truth" then this is a way to achieve your goal. If interested, please contact me at this email address and I will get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

Your friend in spirit,
Kirby

To date, this is the response that I’ve received from them.

Why not do the show? Only you, the paranormal field, and a charity of your choice would benefit.

INFORMATION REQUEST: If anyone wants to share any information with their experiences involving the PRS, Ryan Buell, Chip Coffey, and any other para-celebrity that has made an appearance on Paranormal State, whether it is good or bad, I would like to read it. Your confidentiality is 100% guaranteed.

NOTE: Please feel free to copy and paste this and place it all over the web. And, unlike any of my other blogs, you can even repost this under your own name!

Welcome back to the Eye on the Paranormal. We are taking a blink for the next 2 weeks and will be returning on Saturday, January 10, 2009 with our BIGGEST issue ever! Why the blink? And why now, you ask?

~1 It’s the Holiday Season and this isn’t the time to cause discord and disagreement.
~2 Our legal team is out of town until early January.
~3 During the next few days some of us here at the Eye on the Paranormal will be given unlimited access to a Frank’s Box and we are preparing for that occasion.
~4 There are breaking stories and leads coming from everywhere. But some of our crack investigators are busy with their friends and families.
~5 I am currently backed up on cases.
~6 Some of the team just needs the time off due to the fact that Paranormal State is returning to the airwaves soon. These are the team members who are responsible for viewing this show numerous times as they do the breakdowns of all the deception and lies of each episode.

We’ll be returning with startling surprises for one and all. So during the interim get your rest, take your vitamins, eat well, exercise, and maybe get a seatbelt for your chair because it’s going to be a wild ride [or read!] when the Eye pops back open on January 10.

Eye on the Paranormal – Issue 15 ~ Paranormal Shenanigans!

Copyright 2008 by Kirby Robinson

Welcome back to the Eye on the Paranormal. It’s time to toss another log on the fire, fill up your cup of eggnog or hot chocolate and settle down to read another week’s worth of insane behavior of para-celebrities and paranormal scoundrels running amok in the paranormal world! And let all of us from both Free All Spirits and everyone associated with the Eye on the Paranormal send holiday wishes to one and all. May you enjoy a wonderful Hanukkah, a great Kwanzaa, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

CLEARING THE AIR!

I’m not giving those who are working for the Paranormal Research Society and Chip Coffey as they lamely attempt to discredit our efforts to expose their lies, distortions, and skullduggery. I’m not going to give out their names, but I will address the issues that they are attempting to use against me.

~1 Yes, I charge for my services if I have to go on site to conduct an investigation, exorcism, or cleansing. Airlines charge. Hotels charge. Food and transportation cost money. I doubt that any of the above services would comp me if I told them I’m there to perform an exorcism. In the cases that I’m brought into by the Christian denominations that contract with me they cover my expenses.

Having ones expenses covered is not unethical at all. Numerous people in the field, like John Zaffis, do the same. And even those para-celebrities involved with Paranormal State do so as well. They have their travel expenses, hotel, car rental, etc. covered.

~2 My work with the Miss Cleo line assisting in getting them shut down while other “readers” in the call center engaged in phone sex, lying about whether the call would cost the client anything, and other dishonorable dealings. The readings I gave were 100% legitimate readings. I gave each caller a numerology reading, a tarot card reading, I put to use Runes, etc. Not everyone that worked on the Miss Cleo line was fakes, frauds, or charlatans. Just like in the paranormal field, you have the fakers over at PRS, the fraud of Paranormal State, and the charlatans of the para-celebrities connected with the show. There were some people who worked for the Miss Cleo line that were gifted, concerned, and genuine. And they worked for far less money than those numerous para-celebrities that charge up to $150.00 for a 30-minute phone reading.

~3 There is no record of my work in the paranormal field prior to 2007. I’m not a paranormal investigator who seeks to prove that the paranormal exists or that demons are real. I know they do and my clients know they do. The Bible as well as all the other spiritual paths that I walk, teaches me this fact as well.

What I found is that those who work in the paranormal field who have tried to “prove” that demons are real and that possession is real have not ended up being as ethical as what they could be within the presentation. Because once the money starts coming in and they want to sell their next story they start to exaggerate, create and out and out lie about their cases to make it more salable to the media.

~4 That the Ghost Divas, Ghost Hunters Inc. and me are joined at the hip. We are not working hand in hand. I send them emails sometimes and comment on their blogs once in a while. That’s the extent of our being partners in the effort. There’s not a grand conspiracy as some are alleging that I am a part of. Just as all those citizens across the country who were partners in the effort to elect Barack Obama into the White House, they worked together, but they weren’t joined at the hip.

~5 That I can’t have a 100% guarantee of spirit removal. That’s false, and they know it. The spiritual paths that guide my life teach me the techniques and the means to remove a spirit or a demon and encourage others to move on towards the light. Now is it always done in one visit? Like 100% of the time that it’s shown on Paranormal State? No. We may have to go back multiple times. Unlike Paranormal State and PRS, who simply stay as long as the cameras are rolling, and then hurry on to their next victims as soon as the cameras stop.

~6 My Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge. Many people who don’t have any kind of contact with the entertainment industry really don’t know how things work. Mr. Buell nor Mr. Coffey are under contract with A&E. They are under contract with the production company that produces their show. If they seek the credibility and acceptance that they allege to seek, doing a show that would reveal to America that they’re telling the truth 100% about their paranormal activities would not only validate their claims but their talents and expertise as well.

As to the claim that I’m seeking publicity for myself, I have a face for radio I have a voice for print media and my writing style isn’t all that great.

~7 The allegation that I approached the Rob & Big Show to be featured on it is false.

Subject: paranormal investigator needed
Dear Kirby Robinson,

My name is Barry Smoler. I am e-mailing you on behalf of a doumentary series on cable television that is looking for a paranormal investigator. The cast of our show is currently trying to communicate with what they feel is a presence in their house and have had many unsuccessful and rather "phoney" attempts by others who claimed to have been real paranormal investigators or have the ability to communicate with things beyond our basic understanding.

I would love to talk with you more about this and try to schedule you to meet with the cast of our show. Please call me as soon as possible so that we can discuss this further and she if you can help them.

I appreciate your time and hope to hear from you very soon.

~8 The allegation that I am making up the story that I attempted to contact Mr. Coffey and Mr. Buell months ago and never got a response. Here’s the email that I sent:

"From: Kirby Robinson (freeallspirits @ live.com)

Dear Sirs:
I have expressed concerns about how you conduct your investigations and the validity of those investigations, where anyone with a clear and discerning eye can see that they are not authentic. I have also witnessed heavy-handed tactics being used against people who question your alleged authority within the paranormal community and dared to raise questions concerning the validity of your A&E shows, Paranormal State, and Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal. I can no longer sit by in silence. That is why I came up with The Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge, which will benefit you, your organization, the paranormal field, and a charity that would be assisted from the donation of the prize money.
1 ~ It would silence your critics if you are determined to be telling the truth about all your claims and how they are presented. There can be no one left to challenge your honesty and integrity.
2 ~ It would not only benefit your organization, but it would also help the entire paranormal field. Because if such evidence is true, it will be brought to a much wider audience, which hopefully would fuel additional legitimate investigations. So it’s a win-win situation for everyone.
3 ~ The charity of your choice would have the prize money donated to them. If the truth is being told, that prize money could reach $500,000.
So, what is The Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge? I am sure you’ve heard of the Fox Network program entitled The Moment of Truth. This is where a contestant is hooked up to a lie detector test and asked 50 questions, of which 21 of them are used on the actual show. As long as you tell the truth, you keep on winning money -- up to $500,000. The production company, Lighthearted Entertainment Inc., would jump at an opportunity of doing a show with the two of you. And I will put my personal credibility on the line and appear, as well. For if you visit my Free All Spirits page (www.myspace.com/freeallspirits), you’ll notice that I personally make what some would call outlandish claims concerning my work as a Demonologist/Exorcist/Paranormal Investigator/Caring Spiritual Adviser.
If you would like to be "one step closer to the truth" then this is a way to achieve your goal. If interested, please contact me at this email address and I will get the ball rolling as soon as possible.
Your friend in spirit,
Kirby"

RAY GARTON’S RESPONSE TO JOHN ZAFFIS’S LETTER

In case you missed issue #14, here is the unedited letter that Mr. John Zaffis sent to me.

"Anatomy of a Paranormal Money Cow
After seeing the blog I find it necessary to respond to it. The recounts of Carmen Reed and John Zaffis are much of the case that I worked on I have no problem with that part of the posting. What I do have a problem with is the book IN A DARK PLACE the author interviewed me and from what I can remember it was very brief I had tried to call him many times after that and he never responded back. I was so excited when the book came out I ran to the store to bye a copy (gee I am in the book and had to bye one so much for getting rich off that book). I sat down and started to read it and realized it was not something I was interested in saying was a true story and to this day I do not indorse it as true or talk about it. What had happen with the Warrens and the author I do no know I was not there or any part of what took place in there conversations? .you can call Lorraine Warren and ask her yourself on that one.
As for Lorraine Warren having anything to do with Chip Coffey and John Zaffis doing the book Demons From the Dark this is not true. Carmen wanted to do the book by her self and I offered to help in anyway I can it will be called A Haunting in Connecticut and for the family doing a new move on that case I guess people are still interested after all these years and I hope the monetary value comes with it for them and any family after going public.
To this day I lecture on that case and as many have herd me for the last 20 years my story has not changed in any way on what happened to me or the family that summer in 1988 yes Ed Warren was my mentor feel free to go on my site and read it. The story is called Just Remember.
Like I always do send the person your phone number or call them before posting things it can stop a lot of bad or incorrect information from getting out there
Best Regards
John Zaffis"

The author, Ray Garton, was sent a copy of this letter AFTER Mr. Zaffis posted it on his own blog. Here is Ray’s unedited response:

“I really hate to say this, Kirby, but he's lying. I'd had so much trouble gathering the information for the book that had anyone reached out to me by phone or mail, I would've LEAPED at the chance to take advantage of it. I never heard from Mr. Zaffis. Not once. In fact, Mr. Zaffis seemed reluctant to talk to me while I was there in Connecticut. We had one conversation, but it wasn't very lengthy. I was led to believe Zaffis was not that intimately involved in the case -- he was, I was told, hanging around to get a feel for the business. Ed and Lorraine made it clear that THEY were the leaders of this investigation and that my questions should be directed at THEM. Ed and Lorraine kept telling me that they were going to show me VIDEO TAPE EVIDENCE of the supernatural activity in the Snedeker's home. They said more than once that Zaffis would be providing me with this video. It never came. "John is looking for it," Lorraine assured me. Then Zaffis told me they were having trouble finding it. He became more and more sheepish and reluctant to talk to me as my time to leave neared and no tape had been produced. I never saw that tape -- I never saw ANY video tape at all, not even one I didn't watch. It simply wasn't there, and no solid reason was given for their inability to produce it. Had Zaffis called me later, I most definitely WOULD have taken the call -- I had unanswered questions and had never seen the repeatedly promised video. I received no calls from him, nor did he communicate with me in any way.

Zaffis wrote: I sat down and started to read it and realized it was not something I was interested in saying was a true story and to this day I do not indorse it as true or talk about it.

I'm sorry if Mr. Zaffis was disappointed by the book, but it was written according to Ed Warren's instructions. I have never at ANY time claimed that it is a "true story" and go out of my way to take every opportunity to tell the TRUTH behind the book. I have no doubt that Zaffis does not talk about IN A DARK PLACE -- Ed and Lorraine didn't talk about it, either, and Carmen Reed has gone so far as to denounce it. The book and the story behind it reveal the fraudulence of this case and of their "work". These are not honest people. I do not expect a straight answer from any of them about anything related to that book or to the Snedekers' and Warrens' claims about what happened in that house.

Thanks for forwarding this, Kirby.
Ray Garton”

PSYCHIC/MEDIUM CHIP COFFEY’S AMAZING PREDICTIONS!!!

Chip Coffey responded to a question asking where Jimmy Hoffa is buried and where Amelia Earhart’s plane went down, Chip wrote:

“Once again, someone who does not know me serves as my judge and jury!

Yes, I do get paid for providing a service that many people find valuable and beneficial to them. What business of yours is how much money I earn?

You've been "in the business" long enough to know how psychic abilities work and don't work, Bobby. If not, do a little research.

I challenge you to produce any article (other than by Kirby Robinson, one of your "hater cronies") that says I am provided info prior to appearing on set for episodes of Paranormal State. However, no matter what anyone says to the contrary, you a**holes are going to believe what you want to believe.

Grab a mirror, bend over and take a long look behind, Bobby. I predict THAT'S where Hoffa and Earhart will be found.

Go "paranormally police" someone else!”
Posted by Psychic / Medium Chip Coffey on December 12, 2008 - Friday 5:21 PM

We are currently awaiting x-rays to determine whether Mr. Coffey is accurate with this prediction.

CHRIS MOON & HIS SQUAWK BOX

If you haven’t already heard, Mr. Chris Moon is currently trying to sell to Hollywood a new fake paranormal TV show! He has been trying to do anything to gain any kind of publicity for his Squawk Box or what some have named it The Bottomless Money Pit. He’s even been putting his services on eBay and when no one was stupid enough to purchase them, he bid on the services himself.

There are so many lies that are being told by Mr. Moon that it would take too long to address them here. And others have already done a complete and thorough job of showing such claims like the fact that Thomas Edison was working on a phone to the dead as Mr. Moon claims. Actually, it’s nothing but a fallacy that exists only in Mr. Moon’s head.

But let’s look at Mr. Moon’s appearance on Paranormal State in Season 1. This is a show that he has close ties to due to his relationship with Lorraine Warren and Chip Coffey. Also, Chip just so happens to be one of the very few people on earth [a mere 30 mortals have this knowledge], who can operate a Frank’s Box or what some have called it Frank’s Cash Cow.

It was on the episode entitled “The Asylum” that Mr. Moon’s device was featured. So let’s take a look at Mr. Moon’s claims and the alleged performance of the box from the episode.

~1 Chris Moon’s explanation of what the Squawk Box does would leave the general public’s collective heads spinning as they try to understand it. That’s an old con technique where the huckster uses so much technical jargon that you make people think that you really must know what you’re talking about. The audience is convinced that all this babble means one thing -- this man is an expert.

~2 The first question that Mr. Moon asks is, “how many demons are here?” We hear, “there were seven.” Not there ARE seven, but in the past tense. Not a proper answer from a learned man like Mr. Edison. You see, one of Mr. Moon’s claims is that Thomas Edison operates a switchboard that allows Mr. Moon to contact the dead along with other deceased celebrities who make appearances from the other side at various times.

~3 Notice that Ryan begins to ask what are the demons names but stops and asks what are the spirits names. Now the question was not originally of spirits but of demons. And to think that only one spirit would give its name, which was Lucy. But it’s not. Listen and you’ll hear “you see.” Notice that it’s Mr. Moon who tells us what we’re supposedly hearing. Again, another old con trick. I’m the expert, I’ll tell you what to hear.

~4 Ryan asks, “is there anything else here?” You already have spirits and demons what else is there? Mr. Moon says, “a demon.” Well, duh, we know that already, but wait! Not only A demon, but A STRONG demon! Watch and listen to the scene. Do it again and again. And you hear nothing about a demon or a strong demon, yet again, another old con trick to make things seem sinister and dangerous. And isn’t it convenient for Mr. Moon that only one of the thousands of spirits that must be stuck in that hell hole, decides to talk?

~5 Ryan asks, “is that what is holding you here?” Answer, yes, Lucy says yes. But do you hear any of this? Nope. Only Mr. Moon’s ego does.

~6 Mr. Moon says Lucy is begging for them to come to the basement. Do you hear it coming from the Squawk Box? Nope, it’s coming from the producers of the show.

They go to the basement and the Moon and Coffey Show goes into high gear. You must note that Mr. Coffey is a frequent guest on Moon’s radio show and Chip’s #1 PR person on My Space, Babs, is a co-host on the show. Things are starting to get really cozy here, folks.

Throughout the basement sequence [and the shots that the producers want you to think is the basement, but it really isn’t], do you ever hear originating from the Squawk Box any of the sounds that Mr. Moon claims to hear? No, you don’t because it’s all a fake, it’s all a sham, and it’s all a fraud.

Mr. Moon claims an 88% success rate with the box. That’s an amazingly high rate, one that even the best psychic/mediums would love to have. So let’s put it to a test. This is the Chris Moon/Chip Coffey Squawk Box Challenge! I will publicly post these 7 tasks and they can choose 6 out of the 7 to answer or complete, which would be close to 88%. If they complete the tasks then it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that his Squawk Box is real, the Eye on the Paranormal is wrong, and it will close. All these tasks would certainly have hundreds, if not thousands of spirits, on the other side willing to have the truth come out.

~1 Locate the grave of Moses
~2 Locate and find the Lost Dutchman’s Mine in Arizona.
~3 Locate Natalee Holloway’s body. Or if she is alive, where is she at today?
~4 Locate Captain Kidd’s 1699 buried treasure off Gardiners Island, NY.
~5 Please find the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden!
~6 Specially geared toward Chris Moon from Colorado – find the $5,000 to $40,000 worth of gold buried in the mountains by French miners back in the late 18th century.
~7 Locate and produce for the public the Ark of the Covenant.

All the above tasks, if only but half of them are completed, would lead both Mr. Moon and Mr. Coffey to such fame and fortune that they should never have any kind of worry about what people like me have to say. But we know what their answer will be as it was to, and remains still, to the Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge; they remain silent and ignore it. Because they know that they are fakes, frauds, and paranormal scoundrels.

LORRAINE WARREN V. STEPHEN KING: WHO CAN TELL A BETTER STORY?

Beginning next week we will start an in-depth analysis of all the lies that are told within the book “The Demonologist.”

CALL TO ACTION:

Just tell A&E you won’t watch them as long as Paranormal State is on the air. And share with them all the lies and deception that are taking place. Here’s the contact information:

A&E Television Networks
235 East 45th Street,
New York, NY 10017
212-210-1340

1925 Century Park East, Suite 900
Los Angeles, CA 90067
310-201-6060

It seems some folks just can’t learn to tell the truth and their lies just get sadder and sadder. The people over at PRS/PS have been caught red-handed. It’s time to ‘fess up.

For those who are unaware, during the investigation that was part of Paranormal State’s THE MESSENGER episode, it seems that the participants from PRS decided to plant a cold can of Budweiser on a bed to get Bill the ghost to appear.

Ryan and Chip enter the room and Ryan claims he picks up a cold spot and when the intrepid pair flip on the light they claim they see an outline of a person on the bed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyHjjDR9JBQ&feature=related The Messenger, Part 2

There are 3 things everyone can do in the effort to get the truth out to the general public and proper authorities. They’re free, and will only take a few moments of your time. But they can pay off big in exposure.

1) Call, write, and/or email Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and tell them that their product is being used without their permission and in an act of deception. Tell them it is reflecting badly on the image of such a respected corporation. Also, you might pitch some new taglines for their Budweiser Beer product. Mine are:

~ FORGET ABOUT MILLER TIME – IT’S DEAD TIME!
~ TAKE A SIX PACK OF BUD TO THE GRAVE WITH YOU!
~ THE KING OF DEAD BEER – BUDWEISER
~ BUD – THE BEER FOR THIS LIFE AND THE AFTERLIFE!

1 800 DIAL BUD

Anheuser-Busch, Inc.
One Busch Place
St. Louis, MO 63118

http://contactus.anheuser-busch.com/Email/email.aspx?Site=IB

2) Lakeshore Entertainment is the production company behind the film “The Exorcism of Emily Rose.” It’s very clear that PRS/PS and/or Laura’s family is ripping off the story from this fine motion picture for the sake of 15 minutes of fame. Even Paranormal State puts to use the 1,2,3,4,5,6 from the film. So the production company should both be warned and compensated, or have the I AM SIX episode yanked. Here is the contact information:

3) Penn State is an established institution with a spotless reputation for serious research and above board practices. The president of the university needs to know how PRS is using and abusing its image. Call, write, and/or email them about what is happening.

Why not do the show? Only you, the paranormal field, and a charity of your choice would benefit.

RADIO APPEARANCE: On Sunday, December 21 at 4 PM EST both Kelli Ryan of “The Messenger” episode of Paranormal State and me will be on Strange Frequencies radio. http://www.myspace.com/strangefrequenciesradio

INFORMATION REQUEST: If anyone wants to share any information with their experiences involving the PRS, Ryan Buell, Chip Coffey, and any other para-celebrity that has made an appearance on Paranormal State, whether it is good or bad, I would like to read it.

Eye on the Paranormal – Issue 14 ~ News & Views

Copyright 2008 by Kirby Robinson

Welcome back to the Eye on the Paranormal. Free all spirits has been having a very busy past few weeks. Anyone involved within the field of demonology knows that the demons quite often get stirred up during this time of the year. So we’re not going to be doing a full issue today but I did want to share some breaking news and views with you.

Last week’s article evidently hit a nerve with many. Mr. John Zaffis contacted me with some concerns about the validity of the article that was posted in issue 13. since the goal of the Eye on the Paranormal is NOT to engage in personal attacks, character assassination, and innuendos, I agreed to allow Mr. Zaffis to post his response unedited and in the original form in which he sent it to me. So here it is:

"Anatomy of a Paranormal Money Cow
After seeing the blog I find it necessary to respond to it. The recounts of Carmen Reed and John Zaffis are much of the case that I worked on I have no problem with that part of the posting. What I do have a problem with is the book IN A DARK PLACE the author interviewed me and from what I can remember it was very brief I had tried to call him many times after that and he never responded back.

UNDER ATTACK!!! – PART 2:

Last weekend there was an orchestrated attempt by fans of a certain Southern psychic/medium and actor who has appeared on scripted paranormal “reality” TV shows who attempted to have Free All Spirits removed from MySpace. Their allegation? I was in violation of Terms & Conditions by posting hyperlinks to this blog on Blogger. So to comply with MySpace we can no longer provide an active hyperlink: one has to manually copy and paste the URL into their web browser.

We would hope that other people in the paranormal field would also be brought into compliance with MySpace’s Terms & Conditions and disable their hyperlinks to sites that make money, sell their services, and also remove tracking devices off their own MySpace sites, which are all in violation of MySpace’s Terms & Conditions.

WHEN THE CAMERAS AIN’T ROLLIN’, THE MONEY AIN’T FLOWIN’, THE PARA-CELEBRITIES AIN’T RESPONDIN’:

In response to those para-celebrities who half heartedly allege that their interest in the paranormal field isn’t all about fame, wealth, and TV appearances, and that they’re willing to go out of the way to assist people in need, let me share an email that was sent to me last week. You decide how much assistance was provided…

“They all say that when a child is involved they drop everything to help that child. They lied. If you look at my friends list you will see that I have many para/celebs. I sent e-mails to all of them for years begging for help! My son who is 12 now was under attack from an evil entity. It would hit him, pull his hair, pinch him, scream at him in the middle of the night, and sometimes pull him out of his bed.
I lived in that house for 18 years, I was buying it. For the safety of my son we had to leave. I feel very lucky that it did not follow us and that I got him out of there alive. My son would wake me up between 2:30 and 3:30am almost every morning, sometimes he would have marks on him from very big hands, other times he would be bleeding or just crying.
I did not know who to turn to for help so I e-mailed the para/celebs. I told them everything. None of them even bothered to e-mail me back and their fans blasted me because my son and I begging for help. My son stopped sleeping in his room about 3 years ago. Now that we are out of there, he sleeps in his own room. I have many blessed item in his new room and this house was blessed befor we moved in. We moved out of there in Aug of this year. It's hard to find an afordable place to rent when you also have a mortgage to pay.
I did find help. Someone who read my cries for help on a para/celeb forum investigated my old house. We no longer lived there at the time but we are still paying for it. They told me that whatever it is, it's very evil. They got a lot of action on their first night, including physical attacks.
Befor I found help, I challanged it so it would leave my child alone. I went from an athelete to disabled in just a few months.
I feel they did not help me because I am not rich, I don't live in a $500,000 house nor is the place this happened a famouse landmark. At the time I lived in a 3 bedroom ranch style house. Small, but big enough for my family. My son and I are still having nightmares about it and we probably
will for the rest of our lives.
In my opinion, the para/celebs are nothing more than a bunch of fakes looking for publicity. The least they could have done is e-mail me back to tell me that they did not want to help my son and I.
If you would like to use what happend to us to help you, tell my story. I guess I should tell you that it started when my son was just 4 years old with hearing voices in his room. I have many evp's that I recorded, some of them are threats. I was a paranormal investigater but I retired when I found out that I was pregnant with my son.
Please don't use my name, but tell my story if you want to.”

Now for those who think that this is an isolated incident within a few hundred miles from where this family lives, another family has contacted the Who’s Who in the paranormal field about their situation and to date have received zero responses.

BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU POST: YOU MAY LOSE ARTISTIC OWNERSHIP OF YOUR INFORMATION:

Hey Kirby,

I sent this out to Para X crew but I thought you might be interested as well. Here is the latest trap courtesy of SCIFI and NBC.

They can sell your content and not even tell you never mind pay you. BE VERY AFRAID.

It seems some folks just can’t learn to tell the truth and their lies just get sadder and sadder. The people over at PRS/PS have been caught red-handed. It’s time to ‘fess up.

For those who are unaware, during the investigation that was part of Paranormal State’s THE MESSENGER episode, it seems that the participants from PRS decided to plant a cold can of Budweiser on a bed to get Bill the ghost to appear.

Ryan and Chip enter the room and Ryan claims he picks up a cold spot and when the intrepid pair flip on the light they claim they see an outline of a person on the bed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyHjjDR9JBQ&feature=related The Messenger, Part 2

Eye on the Paranormal – Issue 13 ~ Paranormal Scoundrels: The Hall of Shame

Welcome back to the Eye on the Paranormal. We had fully intended to take a blink but due to the increasingly outrageous conduct of para-celebrities, we find it impossible to do so. Now those that think that I’ve been bashing Paranormal State too hard will be glad to know that neither the aforementioned show or the Paranormal Research Society will NOT be the focus of the next series of blogs.

The forthcoming series of blogs will introduce you to a wide-ranging cast of paranormal scoundrels. You will be exposed to the antics of paranormal celebrities whose conduct is nothing but egregious. This week we have a guest columnist that’s going to expose secrets that no one wanted you to know and next week I will be returning with my own analysis of a huge group of paranormal scoundrels that will lead to the end of the year issue which will induct them into our Paranormal Hall of Shame.

I repost this article not only because we are so busy with our cases right now, but also due to the fact that few people saw this original post and his investigation is thorough and what he uncovers is shocking.

ANATOMY OF A PARANORMAL MONEY COW

This investigative blog may have gotten overlooked. It’s too good and exposes too much deception for it to be ignored. The author is nicknamed Demon Designer and here’s his site, http://profile.myspace.com/psbs_101

Here it is in its entirety:
It's not about the paranormal anymore. It's about bullshit and money.

Do I believe in the paranormal?
Absolutely!
What about people exploiting the paranormal for their own benefit?
I'm a serious believer...

I believe they've created a lucrative market based on fabrication and BS. All they need is a good "case", and they can milk it for all it's worth. A good story to sell you, a few people to swear it's true, and a network to promote it! The birth of a money cow. All their friends can write books, speak at lectures, do television and radio interviews, sign TV contracts, and make movies.

Look at "A Haunting in Connecticut". The author of the original book is now talking about how it's all fiction. Ray Garton, author of "In A Dark Place: The Story of A True Haunting", says he was paid to make it up.

"A Haunting in Connecticut" (2002) was originally brought to television by the Discovery Channel series "A Haunting", which presented haunted cases, most (if not all) featuring Lorraine Warren.

I think it's important for people to understand how this all works. Who's going to get their hand in the cookie jar next? No wonder Mrs. Warren has so many friends!

Something interesting noted by "Eye On The Paranormal" regarding a recent interview with Ryan Buell, "Ryan says he only worries about getting approval from a small, select group of people. And one of them happens to be Lorraine Warren."

Yeah, Ryan. I understand completely...

Get ready to become a serious believer!

Is it time for a new movie and a new money making machine for an old story? Or should they wait longer? LMAO! How old is this case, you ask?

The woman at the center of this case, Carmen Snedeker aka Carmen Reed was a guest on Coast to Coast AM a couple years ago, promoting her story. Even the host George Noory couldn't understand why she waited so long to tell her tale.

This is her bio from the C2CAM site:

Carmen Reed, a mother of four, comes forth after being silent for over 15 years and tells her story of the terrifying events that her family had endured after renting a home that was formerly a funeral home in Connecticut. Carmen is now discussing publicly the details that were left out of the book In a Dark Place and the documentary, A Haunting in Connecticut. Many unanswered questions will now be addressed as Carmen will speak publicly about her family's ordeal.
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/guests/1207.html

June 7, 2006
In the second half, Zaffis was joined by Carmen Reed, whose life was featured in the film "A Haunting in Connecticut" about her family's torment while living in a haunted former funeral parlor. Reed said for the first two years she didn't believe her children's accounts of ghosts until she actually witnessed a hand imprint on her niece, that moved from the niece's nightshirt and disappeared into a wall.

Reed is now seeking to bring attention to the events of 19 years ago, so that parents won't make the same mistake she did of disbelieving their children if they report such incidents. Zaffis shared his encounter with a demonic entity that was descending on the stairs of Reed's home. The transparent shape was accompanied by a foul smell and he heard the words "Do you know what they did to us?' The funeral home was said to have had a necrophiliac in its employ, and Reed believes that this may have opened up the door for demonic spirits to come through.
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2006/06/07.html

Maybe PRS can investigate. Who cares if Carmen Snedeker aka Carmen Reed didn't tell anyone about the "haunting" for 15 years? Who cares if the story was already brought to TV in 2002, and it was an old story then? They can still "investigate" and make money, right?

"Reed is now seeking to bring attention to the events of 19 years ago, so that parents won't make the same mistake she did of disbelieving their children if they report such incidents."

Isn't that sweet?
She's doing it for the children (not the money).

That's so much like something Chip would do.
Where's Chip?
There he is...co-authoring the *new* book on this case with John Zaffis!

A new book?! Ray Garton already admitted he was paid to make it up! He tells all in this interview with Ric Osuna:

Ray Garton's In a "Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting" told the story of the Snedeker family and their alleged "demonic siege." Needing to be closer to the cancer specialist treating their 14-year-old son, the Snedekers relocated to Connecticut, where they purportedly moved into a house that had once been a funeral home. Feeling their son had become possessed and their house was plagued by evil forces, the Snedekers contacted psychic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who also were involved with the Amityville case, for help.

In a Dark Place, published in 1992 by Villard Books, chronicled this alleged haunting, boasting it was a true story. Author Ray Garton, however, disagreed with labeling the book nonfiction, but was bound by contract to finish the book. His recollection about his experiences with the Warrens seemed to illustrate the true nature of these investigators.

Ric Osuna: How did you become involved with the self-proclaimed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren?

Ray Garton: My agent at the time, Lori Perkins, was the one who put me in contact with the Warrens. She got me the job of writing In A Dark Place: The Story of A True Haunting.

RO: What opinions did you have of the Warrens prior to your involvement with In a Dark Place?

RG: I had been following the exploits of the Warrens since I was a little kid. They showed up frequently in the tabloids, like the National Enquirer, and I regularly read about their activities as paranormal investigators. I've never been a big believer in ghosts or demons, but I always found their articles very entertaining, and when the opportunity arose, I was eager to work on a book with them.

RO: What was your first major conflict with the story that the Warrens and the Snedeker family revealed to you?

RG: I honestly don't remember specifically what the first problem was, only that the details of the story given to me by the family involved were not meshing. Elements of Carmen Snedeker's story clashed with elements of Al Snedeker's story, and it seemed everyone was having a problem keeping their stories straight. Frankly, I didn't notice until I had nearly finished all my interviews and began going over my notes, then I started having trouble matching up the details.

RO: How did you broach Ed Warren about the inconsistencies in this alleged haunting? And how did he respond?

RG: First, I went back to the Snedekers and asked more questions. When the details of the stories still didn't match up, I became concerned and called Ed Warren. I didn't even have to tell him which details weren't meshing, I simply pointed out to him that the stories weren't matching. Ed laughed and told me not to worry about it. He said the Snedekers were "crazy" (that was the word he used). Then he said, "All the people who come to us are crazy. Why do you think they come to us?" I was, quite literally, speechless. Without even asking for details, Ed had a solution. He reminded me that I wrote scary stories (at that time, I had written exclusively novels and short stories in the horror genre), and told me to "make it up and make it scary."

RO: What was Ed and Lorraine's reaction to your problem with labeling In a Dark Place nonfiction?

RG: I don't know what their reaction was because after Ed told me to "make it up and make it scary," I cut off all contact with them. After that, I was so angry and disgusted, I wanted nothing more to do with them, and I haven't spoken to them since.

RO: Looking back on it, how do you view your experience with In a Dark Place?

RG: At the time that it was happening, I was very upset about the whole thing. I have called it the lowest point of my writing career. But looking back on it, I suppose I shouldn't have expected anything else. They were, after all, "ghostbusters" whose exploits had been covered in tabloids, the reputations of which did not exactly have a great deal of integrity. As I pointed out earlier, I've never been a believer in ghosts or demons, so I guess I should not have expected my mind to be changed on the topic. I suppose I was somewhat naive. But it was the contempt in which Ed Warren held the Snedekers that made me so angry, and the fact that I went in expecting a solid story to already exist, one that I could simply write down in book form. In other words, I didn't expect to have to "make up" a story. As disturbing as the experience was, I did my best to write an entertaining, scary story. The book was well-received by both critics and readers, and for that I'm grateful.

RO: Did the Warrens ever mention the notorious Amityville case or did you ever ask them about Amityville or their other exploits?

RG: Yes, both Ed and Lorraine did mention Amityville in passing, but we did not discuss it in any detail.

RO: How has your opinion changed of Ed and Lorraine Warren since your involvement with them in In a Dark Place? And do you feel they are more of a detriment to families out there than a help?

RG: Prior to working with them, I found them entertaining and thought them to be, if nothing else, harmless. Not anymore. I think the families who come to them are, to say the least, dysfunctional. I think they tend to be people who are in need of serious help, not in need of the services of ghostbusters. Ed Warren's contempt for them is despicable. If he were to approach them with any sensitivity whatsoever, he would see that their biggest problems are not supernatural, but are very real. The Warrens enable these families to sublimate those problems by nurturing their dark fantasies.

*Never fear! Chip will fix it!*
Lorraine Warren and company decided to have her nephew John Zaffis and Chip Coffey work on a new book, to go along with the new movie starring Virginia Madsen, "The Haunting in Connecticut" due out sometime in 2009.

Demons from the Dark
By Chip Coffey

We've all seen them: movies like The Amityville Horror and Poltergeist, in which restless, often malevolent spirits terrorize families who have unwittingly chosen to share their living space with the dead. Most of us can't begin to imagine just how traumatic that experience would be. For Carmen Snedeker, the unimaginable became frighteningly real when she and her family moved into what appeared to be, at first glance, a lovely house in Southington, Connecticut.

Carmen's family had been going through some tough times when she happened upon the "for rent" sign outside the house. Her oldest son was undergoing treatment for cancer, the family was in dire straits financially, and they needed an affordable place to live. Carmen felt her prayers had been answered when she discovered that the monthly rent was well within the price range that her family could manage to pay for a decent and comfortable place to call home.

Shortly after moving into the house, Carmen made a shocking discovery. In the basement, partially hidden under building and construction materials, she found tools and equipment that are typically used by morticians. Carmen quickly came to the horrifying realization that she and her family were now residing in a former funeral home!

It didn't take long for darkness to descend upon the family. One day, as Carmen was mopping the kitchen floor, the water suddenly turned blood red and had a putrid odor. Crucifixes that hung in various places throughout the house began to simply disappear.

Carmen's niece was living with the family at the time. One night, while sleeping, she was physically assaulted by unseen hands that groped and grabbed at her body. A rosary that she had placed around her neck was violently yanked by the abusive entity and the beads scattered all across the floor.

Several demonic entities made their evil presence known during the ensuing weeks.
"They were incredibly powerful," Carmen remembers. "One of the demons was very thin, with high cheekbones, long black hair and pitch black eyes. Another had white hair and eyes, wore a pinstriped tuxedo, and his feet were constantly in motion."

Carmen's formerly "preppy" oldest son soon began wearing only dark clothing and suffered dramatic personality changes. He became increasingly angry and violent and he started writing dark, disturbing poetry. One of the poems that he wrote contained graphic descriptions of sexual activity with dead bodies.

The family frequently smelled foul odors in the house, including the scents of rotting flesh and excrement. At one point, a dark mist enveloped Carmen and her niece while they were together in the kitchen, disorienting and paralyzing both of them. Terrified, Carmen began to recite The Lord's Prayer and the demon released the women from its hellish clutches.

Carmen was at her wit's end. Her family was clearly in danger, as the demonic infestation grew worse with each passing day. Desperate for relief, she telephoned renowned paranormal experts, Ed and Lorraine Warren, and begged them for help.

The Warrens, perhaps best known for their involvement in the much-publicized Amityville Horror case, agreed to investigate. Ed, Lorraine and their team of investigators literally moved into the Snedeker's home for an astounding nine weeks in order to witness for themselves all the supernatural events that were allegedly occurring.

John Zaffis, nephew of Ed Warren, was part of the investigative team. John recalls that, shortly after arriving, members of the team began to be "touched" by the entities. He also remembers the vile odors that frequently permeated the house.

"The situation was pretty chaotic by the time we arrived," John recounts. "One night, I was sitting at the dining room table, reviewing some notes that I'd made. Suddenly, the room grew bitterly cold and I could sense a presence around me. I called out to the others, who were sleeping in the living room, but I couldn't get anyone to wake up. I looked up the stairs and saw an apparition starting to form. The air was filled with a disgusting odor, so foul that I could hardly breathe. As the apparition took shape, I could hear a noise that sounded like thousands of flapping wings coming from behind it. I'd never been more terrified in my life!"

A Catholic priest was enlisted to bless the house and even perform the sacred rites of mass therein, but the negative activity continued. Finally, the decision was made to conduct an exorcism on the house. The demonic forces railed against the exorcism, but following the ritual, "the house definitely felt lighter and we all felt a sense of calm and relief," John Zaffis remembers.

The Snedeker family resided in the haunted house for two-and-a-half years before finally moving. To the best of her knowledge, Carmen states, "no one who has lived there since [her family left the premises] has experienced any paranormal activity."

It has been almost two decades since these events took place. Since that time, Carmen has been "approached" by negative forces, but her unwavering faith and unflinching courage have kept the evil energies at bay.

"No one will ever really know why the house was haunted while we were there," Carmen said. "We did discover, however, that one of the men who worked in the funeral home was guilty of necrophilia, so perhaps his heinous actions stirred up the demonic forces."

"This was one of the most significant cases I've ever worked on," John Zaffis says, without hesitation. "It proved to me, beyond any doubt, that demonic forces are very real."

A television documentary, called A Haunting in Connecticut, and a book, entitled In a Dark Place, have both chronicled the events that took place in the old funeral home. In 2006, Gold Circle Films, in collaboration with Integrated Films and Management, will produce a feature film about the demonic haunting. Universal Studios will distribute the film.

In conjunction with the release of the movie, a new book about these incidents, written by Snedeker, Zaffis and paranormal investigator/writer, Chip Coffey, will be published.

They aren't letting go of this money cow! No matter how many times Ray Garton says he was paid to make up the story, they all want their hands in this cookie jar! How many people are going to milk this cow?

Can they get Hollywood to come up with something as sensational as Amityville, Poltergeist, or Emily Rose? That's the question.
It's not about the paranormal anymore. It's about bullshit and money.

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)
Mr. Garton can have the last words here...

Posted by: Ray Garton on June 21, 2008 at 16:34:11
My name is Ray Garton. Back in the early nineties, I wrote a book called IN A DARK PLACE: THE STORY OF A TRUE HAUNTING. It was published as "non-fiction", but that was just marketing. I went to Connecticut to meet with the family involved in the alleged haunting of their former house, which used to be a funeral home. I was never able to see the inside of the home because the people who were living there by then wanted nothing to do with the "haunting", which they said was utter nonsense. It was my job to get the family's story down on paper and into a book. I worked with the family, and with the "ghostbusters" or "demon hunters" (whatever they happened to be calling themselves at the moment), Ed and Lorraine Warren, and their nephew John Zaffis. The family now claims they had "little involvement" in this book -- that is simply a lie. They were DIRECTLY involved with the book -- it was them, the Warrens, Zaffis, and myself, nobody else. I attempted to get their story. Unfortunately, the members of the family couldn't seem to keep their "facts" straight. Their individual stories simply did not fit into one smooth hole. Now the Snedeckers and those associated with the movie claim that the book I wrote "remains a source of controversy." The only source of controversy was the Snedeckers, because they just couldn't keep their stories straight. I went to Ed Warren and told him the problem. He laughed. "They're crazy!" he said. "Everybody who comes to us is crazy, otherwise why would they come to US? Just do the best you can. You write scary books, right? That's why we hired you. Use whatever you can of their story, make the rest up, and make it scary." And that's what I did. The book IN A DARK PLACE is a combination of elements of the family's story and stuff I made up -- because it was a for-hire writing job, AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD TO DO. If this family is saying they had "little involvement" in this book, then they are bald-faced liars. They were involved from beginning to end, and THEY COLLECTED THE CHECK FOR IT. They were deeply involved in IN A DARK PLACE, and they were PAID for it -- their names are on the cover of the book along with my name and Ed and Lorraine Warren. I never got to meet their allegedly ill son -- I was only allowed to speak with him briefly on the phone. Although there was much talk of his illness, it was NEVER verified for me, although he did have a drug problem. It was discovered that the girls in the family who claimed to have been groped by so-called invisible, demonic hands were actually groped by HIM. The Warrens and Zaffis claimed they had videotape that clearly showed supernatural activity inside the house, and they told me numerous times that they would SHOW me that videotape. Somehow, during our time together, they just couldn't manage to find it. Not only did I not see that footage, I never saw an actual VHS videotape at ALL. Since my experience with the Warrens and this family, I've talked to other writers who have written books for Ed and Lorraine, and they've told me THE EXACT SAME STORY. This is how the Warrens have always worked, and Zaffis, who's learned well from them, is now carrying on the family business (and that's all it is -- a BUSINESS). They find a very "emotional" family with claims of some supernatural activity in their lives, convince them there's money to be made if they just shape this into a better "story" (and this family was very eager to make money -- at the time I knew them, Carmen was involved in some kind of interstate lottery scam), then they hire a writer of horror fiction to write it up as a book -- "Make it scary," Ed told me -- and they've got themselves a package, a piece of merchandise that they can hawk on talk shows and that the Warrens can discuss in their VERY lucrative lectures. And perhaps they can convince someone in Hollywood to make a movie of it. Of course, in THIS case, the book I wrote has been shoved aside and isn't involved in the making of the movie THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT. It will be VERY interesting to see how much of this movie contains the material that I WAS TOLD TO MAKE UP. We'll see.

It seems some folks just can’t learn to tell the truth and their lies just get sadder and sadder. The people over at PRS/PS have been caught red-handed. It’s time to ‘fess up.

For those who are unaware, during the investigation that was part of Paranormal State’s THE MESSENGER episode, it seems that the participants from PRS decided to plant a cold can of Budweiser on a bed to get Bill the ghost to appear.

There are 3 things everyone can do in the effort to get the truth out to the general public and proper authorities. They’re free, and will only take a few moments of your time. But they can pay off big in exposure.

1) Call, write, and/or email Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and tell them that their product is being used without their permission and in an act of deception. Tell them it is reflecting badly on the image of such a respected corporation. Also, you might pitch some new taglines for their Budweiser Beer product. Mine are:

2) Lakeshore Entertainment is the production company behind the film “The Exorcism of Emily Rose.” It’s very clear that PRS/PS and/or Laura’s family is ripping off the story from this fine motion picture for the sake of 15 minutes of fame. Even Paranormal State puts to use the 1,2,3,4,5,6 from the film. So the production company should both be warned and compensated, or have the I AM SIX episode yanked.

THE PARANORMAL MOMENT OF TRUTH CHALLENGE

Dear Ryan Buell, Chip Coffey, Lorraine Warren, Sandra & Keith Johnson, Dr. Ron Milione, Tony Spera, Shannon & Jeff Sylvia, C.J. Sellers, Chris Moon, Michelle Belanger, Chad Calek, Michael & Marti Parry, Mark & Debby Constantino, Kim Russo, David Schrader, Reverend Andrew Calder, Reverend Bob Larson, Grant Wilson, and Jason Hawes:

I have expressed concerns about how you conduct your investigations and the validity of those investigations, where anyone with a clear and discerning eye can see that they are not authentic. I have also witnessed heavy-handed tactics being used against people who question your alleged authority within the paranormal community and dared to raise questions concerning the validity of appearing on the A&E shows, Paranormal State, and Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal. I can no longer sit by in silence. That is why I came up with The Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge, which will benefit you, your organization, the paranormal field, and a charity that would be assisted from the donation of the prize money.

1 ~ It would silence your critics if you are determined to be telling the truth about all your claims and how they are presented. There can be no one left to challenge your honesty and integrity.

2 ~ It would not only benefit your organization, but it would also help the entire paranormal field. Because if such evidence is true, it will be brought to a much wider audience, which hopefully would fuel additional legitimate investigations. So it’s a win-win situation for everyone.

3 ~ The charity of your choice would have the prize money donated to them. If the truth is being told, that prize money could reach $500,000.

So, what is The Paranormal Moment of Truth Challenge? I am sure you’ve heard of the Fox Network program entitled The Moment of Truth. This is where a contestant is hooked up to a lie detector test and asked 50 questions, of which 21 of them are used on the actual show. As long as you tell the truth, you keep on winning money -- up to $500,000. The production company, Lighthearted Entertainment Inc., would jump at an opportunity of doing a show with the two of you. And I will put my personal credibility on the line and appear, as well. For if you visit my Free All Spirits page (www.myspace.com/freeallspirits), you’ll notice that I personally make what some would call outlandish claims concerning my work as a Demonologist/Exorcist/Paranormal Investigator/Caring Spiritual Adviser.

If you would like to be "one step closer to the truth" then this is a way to achieve your goal. If interested, please contact me at this email address and I will get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

Your friend in spirit,
Kirby

To date, this is the response that I’ve received from them.

Why not do the show? Only you, the paranormal field, and a charity of your choice would benefit.

INFORMATION REQUEST: If anyone wants to share any information with their experiences involving the PRS, Ryan Buell, Chip Coffey, and any other para-celebrity/paranormal scoundrel, whether it is good or bad, I would like to read it. Your confidentiality is 100% guaranteed.

NOTE: Please feel free to copy and paste this and place it all over the web. And, unlike any of my other blogs, you can even repost this under your own name!

Eye on the Paranormal – Issue 12 ~ Taking a Blink!

Welcome to the last issue of the Eye on the Paranormal for 2008. Are we going away, you ask? No, we’re simply taking a blink. Why, you might ask?

~1 We’ve pretty much discredited all of Paranormal State’s claims of being a genuine reality show. We’ve shown that every episode is full of distortion, deception, omission of the truth, and lies, which are directed at the viewing audience along with the individuals who’ve invited them to their homes.

~2 We’ve proven beyond on a reasonable person’s requirements for proof that every para-celebrity that has appeared on Paranormal State, either took part in or allowed these acts of distortion or deception to occur.

~3 Unlike the Paranormal Research Society and the numerous para-celebrities connected to them, the people connected to Eye on the Paranormal and Free All Spirits really do go out and help families and individuals that are suffering from demonic torment, suppression, and possession. We do engage in real confrontations with demons and not the staged and scripted ones that Paranormal State engages in.

~4 We have a mountain of information concerning season 3, but feel that it would be better to present that information when the season actually airs.

PARTNERS IN THE EFFORT:

I’d like to ask all the readers of the Eye on the Paranormal that if they find this blog informative; please visit the following sites. These people are fighting the good fight in their own way.

Bishop James Long ~ I am the Presiding Archbishop for the United States Old Catholic Church. We are ALL inclusive and we reject any doctrine that teaches exclusivity. I am an Old Catholic Bishop and not Roman Catholic.

Who Forted ~ The online paranormal magazine. In time, we hope to see many, many different articles and features written by people from all over the paranormal scene. Hell, even people who aren't from the scene. Diversity, honesty, and obviously humor, are key elements to this concept.

MAILBAG:

“It was about time someone put a damper on Paranormal State they and others have made the research of the paranormal a game of TV ratings. Its sad to see that they will do about anything for ratings. I remember ten years ago when you went to investigate someone’s home their where no expectations. Now you go in and the first thing a lot of them say do you do all the things Ghost Hunters do? Its sad now the only reason people call us is to tell their family that ghosts hunters came to there home. And the word ghost hunters just gets right under my skin. I'm a paranormal investigator, and I don't go searching for ghosts as the words ghost hunters suggests. I myself no longer watch these so called paranormal shows(Ghost Adventures), that say nothing is fabricated. They are a virus to the paranormal world. And it takes only one to show that these shows are fabricated and not completely true. Thank you for being that person. If there's anything that I can do to help you in your quest of exposing the truth please let me know.” Anonymous paranormal group

CHIP COFFEY’S CHEAP TRICKS

The Eye on the Paranormal has uncovered more of Chip Coffey’s cheap tricks. Have you ever wondered why blogs, web sites, blog comments, and MySpace pages that criticize Chip Coffey or expose truths that he doesn’t want you to know, disappear almost as fast as they appear? Well, it’s been shared with us by an individual connected to the Roswell Ghost Tour [No made up stories!] that Mr. Coffey used Google Alerts quite effectively. Never heard of Google Alerts? It’s a little tool that Google offers for no charge and here is the link: http://www.google.com/alerts?hl=en&gl=us

It’s intended to help fans monitor their favorite singers, shows, and sports teams. But Chippie has put it to use to track any negative comments directed at him or Ryan Buell, PRS, Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal, Paranormal State, etc. As soon as Chip receives his daily alerts he scans the web sites and he goes after those sites that aren’t adding to his para-celebrity status. He fires off emails to the web hosts threatening legal action if they aren’t removed ASAP.

On November 24 a Google alert connected to Chip Coffey came out featuring this web site:

The truth about the Paranormal Research Society!
By Michael C. M.(Michael C. M.)
I myself really can't stand this show or the people on it.. especially Chip Coffey! Claims he is a psychic when all he really is, is a fraud. If you head on over to eyeontheparanormal.blogspot.com, this week Kirby talks about the recent ...
MICHAEL CM - Exposing The Truth! - http://horrorinthewoods.blogspot.com/

By the end of the day that blog was gone. Why? Because Chip didn’t like it and he threatened legal action to have it removed.

So what we all need to do in the name of free speech is to sign up for Google Alerts to be sent to your email address with the following individual terms:

Chip Coffey
Psychic Medium Chip Coffey
Ryan Buell
Paranormal Research Society
Paranormal State
Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal

Now, we can all monitor any and all sites that get whacked by Chip’s efforts.

PSBS_101 BLOGS ARE GONE—WHY?

Seems that around Thanksgiving, Mr. Coffey has time to break away from the holiday celebrations and spreading thanks and prayers to have MySpace blogs that he disapproves of removed. PSBS_101 http://www.myspace.com/psbs_101 [yes, those initials do mean something!] made no personal attacks against Mr. Coffey. It appears that Mr. Coffey has a new job title: internet policeman. Heads up to anyone posting anything negative concerning the above mentioned para-celebrity, there are 2 things that you absolutely need to do.

~1 Do not post it on MySpace it’s simply a waste of time
~2 Post it off MySpace, but not just at one site, get your friends and family to post it as well to ensure that if one gets whacked than others will remain.

INTERNET RUMORS & INTERNET THREATS

The ‘net was afire with chatter that Kelli Ryan had been offered or had accepted a financial settlement from A&E concerning her allegations toward Paranormal State, PRS, Chip Coffey and Michelle Belanger. Well the story is not true at all. What is true is that Kelli is investigating possible legal action against A&E.

Who’s Jack? And I’m not talking about Jack Bauer. Threats against Chip Coffey’s life sounds more like a treatment to Season 8 of Fox’s hit show “24.” Yes, folks, Chip Coffey did contact the FBI over threats made against his life. Jack, who had been posting on Kelli’s blog, which was a response to Chip’s and Ryan’s lies about her, supposedly has been threatening Chip’s life for quite some time and the FBI is hot on his trail. Where’s it going to lead? Not to Jack Bauer, I hope! But one does have to wonder if Chip Coffey is such an all-fired great psychic medium and is backed up by his public relations person, Michelle Babiaraz, a/k/a Babs, and the stable of Paranormal State-approved psychics: the ParryNormals, C.J. Sellers, and Michelle Belanger, these supernatural sleuths should team up and save the FBI a lot of time and money. But then again, there’s no check in the mail nor are there any cameras rolling. I’m not holding my breath that this is going to lead to anything.

Anyone who doesn’t think that the PRS and Paranormal State are trying hard at not telling us the whole truth about the goings on behind their episodes you only need to view the last two episodes of the second season, FIRST CONTACT and I AM SIX, to wipe that thought out of your mind.

WHO NEEDS AREA 51 WHEN YOU HAVE GILLILAND’S RANCH?

Let’s take a look at Paranormal State’s penultimate episode, FIRST CONTACT. It seems that there’s a lot more activity at the Gilliland Ranch than both Dave Schneider and Paranormal State would want us to believe. Apparently, Area 51 has nothing on the Gilliland Ranch. Even if a fraction of their claims were true, Paranormal State would not have been the first cable show to tape there. Let’s take a look at what is rumored to have gone on at Trout Lake, Washington or is happening there as you read this.

James Gilliland who brought the 70-acre spot as a spiritual healing center owns Gilliland Ranch and an organization entitled Self Mastery Earth Institute.

James claims the ranch is an opening between us and the third dimension where UFO’s are landing on a regular basis and making contact with earth beings. Now geez, why didn’t we see the landing sites? That would have been exciting footage if they existed. But there’s more! James says that he has been abducted on numerous occasions and met several different types of aliens. He also states aliens are walking around his property and interacting with him. What type of aliens, you might wonder? Pleiadeans and Andromedians. Additionally, James has had direct contact with over 1000 alien spacecraft. I wonder if the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services [USCIS] plans to open a substation on or near his property to be able to check interstellar passports?

James alleges that he has been allowed to go on board these ships and at one time was hit by three balls of light. In addition, he has been contacted by Melia, “an extremely loving benevolent and yet down to business extraterrestrial from the Orion constellation.” He also says that he is in communication with St. Germain, Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel, Jesus, Buddha, Mother Mary, Ramtha, and Cazekiel, the reincarnate of the Biblical Ezekiel.

Now there is one problem with Ramtha. J.Z. Knight, who has channeled Ramtha since the 1980s, owns the copyright to Ramtha, and the spirit claims that he doesn’t contact anyone else but Ms. Knight. So anyone claiming they’re having contact with Ramtha and publicizing such claims is violating Ms. Knight’s copyright.

If you go back and view the First Contact episode, none of these claims are ever addressed. Why is that? Because if these claims were true you would have every paranormal investigator, every UFO research team, every abductee organization, every would-be author, and the entire international news media would be camping out on the ranch.

Note that none of the landowners around the property are making any such claims as James makes. I guess the portal to the third dimension is on the small size.

“I AM SIX” A/K/A HOW NOT TO STAGE A FAKE EXORCISM

When it comes to Paranormal State’s last episode, I AM SIX, the story that they kept from the viewers concerns the distortion and deception of the fake exorcism that took place on the show. If Ryan Buell, as well as Father Calder, had ever been a part of or witnessed a real exorcism, they would’ve realized that what they were presenting was far from the truth in procedural matters as well as the way Laura acted falsely claiming she was possessed. They were drawing off the movie “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” but the delivery failed miserably.

~1 Ryan talks about holy ground when he first addresses the team. Ryan should know that demons, as well as their leadership, have access to the most holy places. So just being in a church doesn’t prevent you from being attacked by a demonic spirit.
~2 When Laura greets the team does she show any signs of discomfort or pain? None at all. She seems to be very happy to be on camera.
~3 Notice that there are religious symbols throughout the house and her mom is even wearing crosses as earrings. Yet Laura shows no discomfort towards those objects.
~4 The pentagram has nothing to do with demons.
~5 Why were no religious items placed in or under Laura’s bed to see if any discomfort took place?
~6 Father Andrew Calder does a walk through but no in depth interview with Laura.
~7 When Lorraine Warren is talking to Ryan on the phone she says something not true about the legion story from the Bible. Legion was not the name of the demon -- the demon was simply saying that legion, which means many, that many demons were in the person.
~8 Ryan violates one of his own church’s rules when it comes to determining if an exorcism is even required. That rule is that all mental illnesses must be ruled out. The psychologist says that it is possible that Laura has a disassociative disorder.
~9 Father Calder should have spent time in prayer and meditation prior to jumping onto the idea of demonic possession.
~10 Father Calder should have gone through a time of Biblical fasting to prepare himself for the exorcism.
~11 The State of Grace that Ryan talks about is not something that is quickly or easily done in just a few minutes. Nor is it something you can do with a few lighted candles. But it takes in depth soul searching, prayer, and a complete confession of all sins that have taken place within your life. Each and every person in the house, including Laura’s family and the entire cast and crew, would be required to do the same.
~12 The exorcism room should have had ALL the furniture completely removed and the windows boarded up.
~13 Laura’s family should not have been allowed in the room.
~14 Father Calder does not have any assistance in the exorcism.
~15 Does Laura show any signs of real discomfort in the exorcism? She draws a pentagram in the air, which means nothing to a demon. Laura’s voice doesn’t change, nor do her physical features contort at all.
~16 Chip Coffey should not have interrupted the exorcism.
~17 Laura shows no spiritual knowledge of past or future events relating to anyone—especially Father Calder. There is no vulgarity, spitting, vomiting, defecation, flatulence, or urination.
~18 Chip Coffey interrupts the exorcism a second time.
~19 Never does the demon engage the exorcist in a battle of will, logic, or faith. Nor does the demon ever challenge his authority to be there.
~20 Chip Coffey is not allowed to touch the person being that he is not actually a part of the exorcism. By doing so, he denigrates the spiritual authority of Father Calder.
~21 In the post interview of Laura she shows no ill effects or spiritual changes that accompany a person who has been demonically possessed. The possession itself changes the person forever.

NOTE: “Requiem” [2006], a subtitled German film also influenced the “I Am Six” episode. This film is about: “An epileptic girl suffers a breakdown during her first year at university, then decides to seek help from a priest in battling the troubles associated with her strict upbringing.”

CALL TO ACTION:

Just tell A&E you won’t watch them as long as Paranormal State is on the air. And share with them all the lies and deception that are taking place. Here’s the contact information:

A&E Television Networks
235 East 45th Street,
New York, NY 10017
212-210-1340

1925 Century Park East, Suite 900
Los Angeles, CA 90067
310-201-6060

It seems some folks just can’t learn to tell the truth and their lies just get sadder and sadder. The people over at PRS/PS have been caught red-handed. It’s time to ‘fess up.

For those who are unaware, during the investigation that was part of Paranormal State’s THE MESSENGER episode, it seems that the participants from PRS decided to plant a cold can of Budweiser on a bed to get Bill the ghost to appear.

Ryan and Chip enter the room and Ryan claims he picks up a cold spot and when the intrepid pair flip on the light they claim they see an outline of a person on the bed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyHjjDR9JBQ&feature=related The Messenger, Part 2

Eye on the Paranormal – Issue 11: Another Dark Week for the Paranormal Community & S.S. Paranormal State Sinking in Lies!

Welcome back to our latest issue of Eye on the Paranormal, the first and only weekly blog that takes a critical look at the world of the paranormal.

PARTNERS IN THE EFFORT:

I’d like to ask all the readers of the Eye on the Paranormal that if they find this informative; please visit the following sites. These people are fighting the good fight in their own way.

SUNDAY – DARKNESS RADIO’S DARKEST HOUR

It’s been another bad week for folks in the paranormal field. More lies, more deceptions, and more distortions of the truth. And more para-celebrities selling out their listening audience for the sake of a few crumbs and dollars tossed their way. When will they learn as long as the folks over at the Eye on the Paranormal are watching out for the average Joe, there’s no place we won’t go to uncover the truth and expose the lies?

It seemed that just about every day had breaking news so let’s run through the week that was or what many are now calling, The Darkest Hour for Darkness Radio. In reality, Darkness Radio is now wishing they hadn’t done that segment.

Sunday, November 16. Last week a well-placed source within Paranormal Research Society informed us that Chip Coffey, Ryan Buell, and Michelle Belanger were set to appear on Darkness Radio on Sunday night. For those of you who don’t know, and going by the ratings, that would be most of you, Darkness Radio is hosted by Dave Schrader on Saturday and Sunday nights. It’s simply a dressed up infomercial for Dave Schrader’s paranormal buddies to promote their books, DVD’s, ghost tours, conventions, and paranormal reality programs. It’s taped, they don’t take callers, and quite often, as was the case with the Paranormal State hour, it was not only rehearsed but scripted to get the points across that Ryan, along with Chip and Dave, wanted to get across. You’ll notice that they can never face their accusers or debate in public but will only appear in setting where they are in total control.

It seems that many emails and phone calls between Chip, Ryan and Michelle was exchanged with Dave about what was to be asked and how it was best to go about preplanning the hour so as to avoid mentioning Free All Spirits and smear Kelli Ryan’s reputation.

Dave Schrader, for those who don’t know, has a strong tie to Paranormal State, PRS, Ryan Buell, and numerous other para-celebrities that have appeared on Paranormal State. It’s funny how they tend to end up on Dave’s photo page. Here’s the link: Paranormal State A&E Filming
In addition, Chip Coffey has an advertisement for the Darkness Rules program on his MySpace page and is being financially compensated to appear at a 3-day Darkness Radio event at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. I would gladly debate Chippy on any of those three days, but I’m not holding my breath for a response.

Thus, ethically, Dave should have excused himself from doing the interview. He has both a professional and personal relationship with Chip and Ryan, so he couldn’t ask the hard questions that needed to be asked. And his conduct on the program would have to be questioned.

That being said, things are becoming more desperate by the hour in Paranormal State-land, as they once again try to use lies, distortion, and deception to cover up the truth. They need to learn that the truth is always mightier than the lie. But should we expect such behavior? No. They chose to utter lots of lies, deceptions, and distortions within that 60-minute interview. And we’ll address them here, as now Chip Coffey and Michelle Belanger are starting to change their stories.

~1 Lie - Ryan states that Kelli did not contact the Paranormal Research Society after the show completed filming to ask for help. The truth – she did, and got either no response from PRS, only from an A&E employee who stated, “hey, didn’t you get some help already?”
~2 Distortion – Ryan says that many of Kelli’s statements are an exaggeration. Well that means that there is some truth to what Kelli’s claiming but Ryan fails to inform the listening audience of such.
~3 Deception – Dave Schrader repeatedly throws out a rehearsed line that if he was ever part of a show that did anything deceptive he’d walk off the set. Just as he would know that Chip and Ryan would as well. This is an old propaganda psychological ploy that if you hear a phrase often enough you believe it to be true.
~4 Deception – Ryan can’t keep the same number of episodes that deal with demons straight. A few weeks ago it was only two – prior to the “I Am Six” episode, also known as “I’m Looking for a Hollywood Deal”, which would then make it 3. But now according to Ryan it’s 4, which is not the truth at all. Ryan makes it seems like neither he nor anyone else at PRS, including Chip, ever watch the episodes.
~5 Lie – Ryan now claims that he is called in on a regular basis to investigate, as well as perform exorcisms, for the Catholic Church. Just a few weeks ago, it had been just a singular case. And now he says it happens on a regular basis and he doesn’t talk about those cases. Newsflash to Ryan: You’re talking about them now. And how did Ryan, who has never been trained in the field of demonology, or ever witness a live exorcism, become a person that the church now calls upon on a regular basis? Can anyone say ego out of control, here?
~6 Lie – Ryan states that there are only 10 people that question the validity of PRS and Paranormal State. Ryan seems not to use Google as often as Chip does; it’s now more like thousands of people are who questioning the show’s validity.
~7 Lie – Dave Schrader claims for Ryan that all the dissenters out there are simply being jealous. That jealousy card is getting old and worn out. But let me say this again. I am not jealous of Chip Coffey, Ryan Buell, or of the program Paranormal State. I value too much my faith, integrity, and clear conscience to be jealous of their shenanigans.
~8 Lie – Ryan states that he values the church and is often called to give them guidance when it comes to exorcisms and demonology. Yet he openly violates church rules and doctrines in the “I Am Six” episode.
~9 Deception – Ryan says he only worries about getting approval from a small, select group of people. And one of them happens to be Lorraine Warren. This is a Freudian slip, I think, when you view all the deceptive practices that she used to sell the Amityville Horror Hoax. She has tutored Ryan well as he is copying her techniques to sell the Paranormal State Hoax.
~10 Distortion – Ryan states early on in the interview that Paranormal State has the most diverse professionals out of any of the paranormal programs on the market. But what he fails to address is this: why do they use the same people over and over and over again?
~11 Deception – Ryan claims that he doesn’t read the anti-Paranormal State blogs that are out there, which isn’t the truth. Ryan is quite the reader of all of them according to numerous authors who track visitors to their sites.
~12 Distortion – Dave Schrader comes up with a really wacky theory that you couldn’t claim that the TV show “Starsky & Hutch” was a bad show because they didn’t portray the life of cops as they really were. Someone needs to tell Dave that “Starsky & Hutch” was a totally fictitious program, where the show Paranormal State presents itself as a DOCUMENTARY, which is a factual program. There is a difference between fiction and fact.
~13 Lie - Chip Coffey gives an almost entirely bogus account of why Kelli Ryan contacted PRS. It was never about Bill’s ghost, he wasn’t causing the family any trouble. They were being troubled by a very dark entity that was in the house prior to Kelli and her husband moving in, and her spirit guide said for her not to take it on.
~14 Lie – Chip says that Kelli had a negative relationship with her grandfather, and she got upset and started to cry when he brought it up. Thus, according to Chip, it was abusive. The truth? Kelli was crying because she loved her grandfather so much, and had such a good relationship with her grandfather. She couldn’t understand how any psychic could be so wrong, and Chip’s psychological bullying to accept his inaccurate theory upset her.
~15 Lie – The beer can. Chip does his best to rehash the party line from PRS Central concerning ParaBeerCanGate. But it didn’t wash then and it doesn’t wash now.
[1] Budweiser was Bill the ghost’s favorite brand, but Bill was not haunting the hallway or the spare bedroom, it was the dark, evil entity.
[2] If it was planted by some other member of PRS then why is blank and blank’s fingerprints on the can?
[3] If it was planted without Chip’s and Ryan’s knowledge, why did it remain in the episode?
[4] What about the figure on the bed that Ryan now says he didn’t see?
[5] Why wasn’t the general public ever told about this event prior to Free All Spirits exposing it as a deceptive act?
~16 Deception – Chip thinks that Kelli has some kind of desire to have more time in the spotlight. Truth is, Chip, she could have had more time and a much easier one, if she simply said you guys did a great job, and went along with your deceptions. But Chip has difficulty understanding that not everyone has to live in the limelight.
~17 Lie – Chip is making much ado about the Ghost Cottage sign, which is only a small plaque in the flowerbed, given to Kelli by friends. As to the tours that Kelli offers, viewers of the episode asked to see the house. In addition, the area that she lives in is greatly dependent upon tourism dollars to survive. State, wildlife, and game authorities have shut down the fishing along the coastline and in local rivers for 3 years. Those who live in the area are desperate to supplement their income.
~18 Deception – Michelle Belanger never does come out and say the outburst and her and Chip’s fight never happened. Listen as Dave Schrader says it never happened. Chip goes “uh huh” but Michele remains quiet.
~19 Distortion – Michelle never brings up the fact that Kelli:
[1] Gave her a sweater that she’d been making for 2 years.
[2] Kelli gave Michelle a reading and told her some very personal things that no one had ever picked up on in the past.
[3] Kelli had numerous talks with both Chip and Michelle about her long time psychic work.
[4] Never did she ever say to Michelle, or anyone, that she had abandoned her psychic gifts.
~20 Deception – Listen for Michelle’s effort to give out Kelli’s home address.
~21 Lie – This might be the biggest lie of them all. Chip and Michelle try to sell a story about a long, hard journey through the mountains to Kelli’s home that just got them there in time for the second Dead Time. And that’s why Michelle walked out of the taping. The problem with this story is that it would get them there 2 days into the filming of the episode, which does not fit the way the events happened. Because Chip even states, in his own blog, that he arrived there the evening before his taping began.
~22 Distortion – Chip should know better -- just by telling a spirit, forcefully or not -- doesn’t mean that the spirit will leave. It seems as if Chip’s trying to say that either PRS couldn’t or wouldn’t give Kelli the help that she needed.
~23 Lie – Chip states that he is never fed information from producers. If this is true, then how does Chip explain comments that he’s made in interviews where he talks about how he’ll sit down and strategize with the producers on how to approach his walk-throughs?
~24 Lie - Chip claims he never talked to an Eric Leven at A&E. Which is kinda funny as Eric was the casting producer on 6 of the episodes that Chip was in this year.
~25 Deception – Chip builds up “The Glove” episode, which is the episode that Michelle Belanger helped in planting fake evidence. Maybe that’s one more Freudian thing.
~26 Distortion – Michelle Belanger claims she’s the go-to person for Paranormal State in occult matters. Then what is “Occult Specialist” Eilfie?
~27 Distortion – Dave Schrader basically says some things are faked on Paranormal State to make it a better show.
~28 Distortion – Chip says anyone would sell out to be a para-celebrity appearing on a paranormal show. No, Chip, only people who are solely interested in fame and fortune and to be in the spotlight constantly would sell out. I still can spell and know the meaning of the word ethics. What about you?

So, thinking that Dave Schrader was interested in the truth, and not just the bottom dollar, I contacted him with this email.

RE: Equal Time
Dear Dave,
I just heard the show concerning Paranormal State and all the half truths and lies that have been leveled at Kelli. I would like equal time to rebut what has been said.
Your friend in spirit,
Kirby

Which led to this well thought out response:

From: KTLK-FM's DarknessRadio™ Dave
Date: Nov 18, 2008 10:11 AM
whats your number

I shot back, knowing that Dave couldn’t handle the truth anymore than the rest of the Paranormal State crowd could.

From: Free All Spirits
Date: Nov 18, 2008 7:23 PM
Thank you for contacting me.
I am on the road quite a bit and no telling what times I'll be back in L.A. If you're interested in having me on the show, give me dates and I'll see what works. As for Kelli, I doubt if she'll be able to be on the show because she'll be filing legal action against Paranormal State within the next few weeks and will be unable to make public comment about the matter.
Your friend in spirit,
Kirby

Kirby To be truthful, I think its best to leave things alone.
You have more than had your chance to be heard, you have blogged, you have bulletined, you have appeared on other shows, I think everyone has heard your version more than enough at this point.

I allowed Michelle and Chip on my show as they had approached me and are my friends.
The thing that I allowed to happen was to have them address the lie being told on thier behalf.

Fact is; Kelly said they had a feud, Kelly said Michelle called Chip a fraud and had to stand up for Kelly, and both Michelle and Chip both said that never happened, nothing even like it. So, they addressed the allegations and cleared them up. I dont see how more rehashing is going to help.

This isnt a slight to you, its time to put the BS in the past and if Kelly has a legal leg to stand on, she will get her day in court and her side will be heard.

Lets leave it to the courts at this point.
Dave

So we now see that all of Darkness Radio was an infomercial to sell Paranormal State and Chip Coffey, to sell their lies, deceptions, and to witness the selling out of Darkness Radio.

MONDAY – PARA-CELEBRITIES THROW TEMPER TANTRUM & GET GHOST DIVAS KICKED OFF MYSPACE

On November 17 I logged onto Blogger to read a hateful comment sent anonymously from Chip, Ryan and Topher. They don’t have the guts to use their real name; they either have to come at me anonymously or with the initials J.R. It not only was aimed at me, but the missive expressed a lot of actual hate towards the Ghost Divas. So I in turn sent it to them. I knew it came from Chip Coffey or Topher, they used a phrase of Mr. Kirby, that appeared in one of Chip Coffey’s blog comments, which you can still find on his MySpace page. The Ghost Divas placed the email on their MySpace blog and proceeded to roast Mr. Coffey Bean, who got very upset Chip yelled and cried at some lawyers, who in turn contacted MySpace and threatened to file a lawsuit against them, the same way Mr. Coffey has threatened to sue me, but has yet to do. Thus, MySpace removed the Ghost Divas and eliminated over 2600 friends, 3 years worth of comments, photos, and blogs.

I guess it’s all right for Chippy and Topher to send out a comment full of hate but when others speak of the truth they can’t handle it.

You see, a few weeks ago, Chip Coffey sent the Ghost Divas an email concerning his desire to clear the air on me and Kelli’s investigation. The condition was that The Ghost Divas could never tell anyone what was said. Then that would free Chip up to do as he normally would do and say that the Ghost Divas now support him 100% and they ethically could do nothing. But the Ghost Divas, being the wise ones they are, said what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. They stated that Chip would never be able to talk about the phone call. Well, Chip never contacted them again.

WEDNESDAY – BISHOP LONG EXPOSES PARANORMAL DECEIT

The Ghost Divas luckily returned to MySpace and appeared on Blogger to the displeasure of many over in Paranormal State-land. But things only grew worse for Ryan Buell and Chip Coffey later that night.

On the Ghost Divas program broadcasted on Para-X radio, Bishop James Long, a leading expert in the field of demonology and exorcisms basically laid bare every single lie, distortion and deception that was aired on the “I Am Six” episode, also known as “Can I Get an Emmy For My Performance?”

FRIDAY – CHIP COFFEY RUMORS FLY

November 22 – Babs, who is one of Chip Coffey’s female sidekicks and a go to person when Chip needs a spokeswoman, revealed on Kelli Ryan’s blog that Chip had contacted the FBI over an alleged rumor that someone had threatened him.

Now I’m sure the good men and women that make up the FBI and who are on the front line of America’s war on terror, fighting the Mafia, and providing security as the threats mount against our incoming President’s life, will set aside everything and focus all their investigative powers and put Chip Coffey’s rumor on the top of their list.

Some suggest that this is a ploy on Mr. Coffey’s part to appear on the next season of Fox’s show “24” and Jack Bauer is going to be sent to Atlanta, Georgia to protect Chip Coffey.

Why doesn’t Chip just tell the FBI who made the threat, where they live, and when and how they plan to carry it out? You see Chip has a 100% accuracy rate when he appears on the Paranormal State, thus his readings should be totally trusted and this information would help the FBI cut back on their manpower in investigating his case. But you see folks, there’s no threat. It’s just another tactic in Chip Coffey’s limited arsenal of trying to deflect our attention from the truth.

Well, that’s all for this week. Well, not really. If you want to read more come back next Saturday and yes, it is a holiday weekend, but the truth needs to be told, no matter what the time of year it is. In addition, on Monday, December 1 [8-10 CST] I’ll be a guest on Spooks R Us on Para-X radio and it’d be nice to have you all there.

It seems some folks just can’t learn to tell the truth and their lies just get sadder and sadder. The people over at PRS/PS have been caught red-handed. It’s time to ‘fess up.

For those who are unaware, during the investigation that was part of Paranormal State’s THE MESSENGER episode, it seems that the participants from PRS decided to plant a cold can of Budweiser on a bed to get Bill the ghost to appear.

Ryan and Chip enter the room and Ryan claims he picks up a cold spot and when the intrepid pair flip on the light they claim they see an outline of a person on the bed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyHjjDR9JBQ&feature=related The Messenger, Part 2
