Issue 29 – Paranormal State: The Confusing New Class

A blanket of confusion has settled over the land known as Paranormal State: The New Class and it doesn't look as if it will be lifted soon. In the latest episode, "If I Should Die", we see it's just one staged scene after another. We received an email suggesting it should've been titled "I should be so lucky never to see it again". There are issues about this show everywhere you turn and we intend to dig into them all. So many were uncovered that it might take two or three issues to reveal them.

Ryan Buell isn't too happy about this new show even though he is given credit as Co-Executive Producer. When asked about the airing of the pilot episode on November 21, 2010, he claimed he had no knowledge of such a show or that it was even in production.

We find that difficult to accept due to the fact if you compare the closing credits of both shows you see the same names. We've been attacked for questioning the legitimacy of Paranormal State: The New Class. Is it logical to think that the producers would do a fake Paranormal State but suddenly get a new set of ethics and offer us a fully legitimate show?

Even our suggesting that it was the second episode of the show seemed to rile up some diehard viewers. So we'll clarify it. There was one episode that was shown back in November 2010 which we would count as episode 1 or the pilot. This would be episode 2, or to please others, the first was the pilot and “If I Should Die” was the premier episode

The program opens with no opening sequence and if you missed the pilot you would have absolutely no idea who these people are. We are told that the young lady, Savahanna, is an investigator.

They claim that they have a case that is demonic and show a video from a laptop screen of the client explaining the case. But watch the video closely and notice that there is something off about it. Does it look like something that the average Joe would do or does it look as if footage taken by a film crew was spliced into it?

We are then offered a paranormal expert by the name of Ken who has handled demonic cases. Why are no last names given? Is it done so people can't investigate the team's claims? I know I keep repeating myself, but why not reach out to those who have experience dealing with the demonic? The experts are found within the Catholic Church or to a person who has authority over demons which would be a man or woman of God.

We are warned that it might get dangerous and your faith will be attacked but we never see any proof of such claims. We are offered hand prints on the back. If it was a demon then it would go for the face.

The team arrives at the client's home and they do a walkthrough. It seems that our investigators either have photographic memories or the show has a very limited budget and can't afford to provide them with note pads and pens. Even Ryan pretended to take notes during the first few seasons of Paranormal State.

The family claims that something is tormenting the ladies of the house, but we are never offered any proof of this -- just the word of the client. During the walkthrough, which is presented out of order, Kelly, the young lady of the house speaks a lot about things happening while she was asleep. One would hope that the show had her sent to a sleep clinic to see if that could be the root of the problem. [Many sleep abnormalities can be misinterpreted as paranormal activity.]

We then have Chip Coffey roll up …

Come back next week as we expose more bad behavior by para-celebs Chip Coffey and Carl Johnson…

Issue 28 – Say NO to Demon Exorcist - Part 1

We hoped that we had completed our investigation into Dwayne Claud and "DEMON EXORCIST" but the story won't go away. After many phone calls, hours on the road, and emails, we've uncovered a grand dark conspiracy aimed at fooling the public and using a family that was in turmoil. Why? For the sake of fame, wealth and notoriety that comes with having a paranormal reality TV show. It's everything that we warned our readers about concerning the damage that fake shows like Paranormal State, Paranormal State: The New Class and Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal do to the clients. TV does NOT need another fake paranormal "reality" TV show. We're issuing a campaign to SAY NO TO DEMON EXORIST, as we try to stop Dwayne Claud's show from being picked up by the Discovery network.

SAY NO TO DEMON EXORCIST!

We need you to reach out to the Discovery network and tell them not to pick up this show. You can do this by e-mail:

http://corporate.discovery.com/contact/viewer-relations/

Tell them that if the network picks up this show you won't buy any products that are advertised on any show affiliated with the network.

THE GRAND DARK CONSPIRACY

Sarah and Toby Maitland and their three children live in Virginia and are having a rough time of it. They claim that something in their home is going bump in the night. This causes the family so much distress that the children move their beds into their parents' room.

Much has been made by other bloggers concerning what was/wasn't going on in this family's life. Does Sarah have personal issues? She admits this and that should be enough for us to accept.

When people are under stress it can cause pent up psychic energies to get released. Especially people who are angry and frustrated. There needs to be an outlet. This uncontrolled negative energy can produce paranormal activity that can be labeled as poltergeist activity. If you have children who witness such things, they're unable to fully process it mentally. They can convince themselves that they see ghosts or the boogie man. If you amp up the activity even more and add in the possibility that one or more of these children could be sensitive, you have explosive possibilities in this situation.

The Maitlands are not at fault here from what we have uncovered. They did what they felt should be done in order to help bring some stability back into their lives.

The family turns to Central Virginia Paranormal Investigations [CVAPI] founded by Jackie Tomlin, a fulltime psychic. The paranormal group states that they have a set of procedures and followed them. The Maitland family was open and honest with details about their lives. The team claimed that they uncovered proof that it was a demonic haunting and decided to bring in a demonologist.

Was this for the sake of the family? Or the fact that anything "demonic" makes a case more sensational? That's why CVAPI wants to make a documentary about the case.

Whether these plans existed prior to the DEMON EXORCIST debacle or not is unclear. We've heard two different versions from sources. The CVAPI team always wanted a demonic case in order to get them on TV. The other story is that CVAPI claimed they were unhappy with how Firecracker Films mishandled the case and messed up the facts so badly they needed to set the record straight.

Apparently CVAPI is upset as they wanted to keep Sarah's case as their own and wanted to be on the show. We warned the paranormal field that this kind of thing would happen when paranormal groups were looking for sensational cases in order to hop aboard the reality TV fame game. I have personally handled cases that could easily become sensations both in printed form and on the big or small screen. But at the time it didn't even occur to me. Most people aren't proud of being demonically haunted and want it to remain private.

The paranormal field has gone demonologist crazy and people who've read a book or some articles or seen all of the "Exorcist" movies are declaring themselves demonologists. Nothing that I have read or been able to uncover would suggest that a demon was ever present in the Maitland home. All the team needed to do was a simple house blessing which any man/woman of God can do. Why not reach out to a local pastor? The concept of demons has been around for quite some time. Men and woman of God are the best trained and most capable to handle such a situation.

CVAPI's big mistake was to amp it up far greater than necessary. The dominoes of deception started to fall after a fame-seeking para-celeb was called in to handle the case.

Dwayne Claud, a self-proclaimed demonologist, managed to snag a deal with Firecracker Films to produce a para-reality show. This reality show would offer thrills and chills similar to those seen on Paranormal State. After a repeated viewing of the pilot, it's no different from any of the shows it imitates as it's just another fake para-reality show. In fact, Mr. Claud did things he had absolutely no business doing due to his lack spiritual authority.

To show proof, we'll break down his actions as seen in the program.

1 The title is meaningless. Demon Exorcist was chosen due to a pair of very strong keywords. For example, on Google we see that Demon = 88,000,000 results and Exorcist = 9,600,000. On Yahoo we see that Demon = 24,800,000 and Exorcist is 1,970,000.

2 During the opening credits we see Dwayne's tools of the trade: a crucifix, holy water and a book, "Roman Ritual + Christian Burial Exorcism, Reserved Blessings, Etc." This book is volume 2 of a 3-volume set. http://www.amazon.com/Roman-Ritual-Rituale-Romanum-Christian/dp/B0012U5R9G

3 Much is made about orbs that were captured during the investigation. NEWSFLASH! Orbs are not proof of paranormal activity, but are dust or flying bugs caught on film. Demons don't pass themselves off as orbs. Demons are full of pride and don't try to hide. This is a major crack in the validity of both CVAPI's and Dwayne's claims.

Due to breaking news we'll complete our report next Saturday as we need to verify information that just arrived.

Issue 28 – The Nightmare That Was 'Paranormal State' Is Over — Or Is It?

Death is often a funny thing, at least that's how my Great Granddad saw it. On Monday a man is considered the worst S.O.B. on the face of the earth. He dies on Tuesday and by Wednesday he's a saint. We often gloss over the faults of others at the time of death, but in the case of the passing of Paranormal State we can't. It would be unfair to the public and the paranormal field.

Paranormal State came to an end on Monday, May 2nd. This was a show that began with a great deal of hope and promise but ended its run proven to be a staged and scripted sham. Ryan Buell and his posse of fake para-celeb wannabes were seeking fame and riches and had little or no concern about who was used or hurt. No deception was ever off limits to this group from Pennsylvania.

Was any good produced by the show? Yes. On one hand it showed the public that the paranormal world did exist and fostered discussion on topics like demons and demonic possession. On the other hand it did much harm and will continue to do damage as the reruns are seen on the internet and DVDs. The careers of the fake para-celebs flourish as they feed off the gullible who think that if it's on TV it's real.

Thanks to Paranormal State we have:

1 The myth of Dead Time.

2 If it gets TV ratings make sure you: fake evidence, fake cases, and fake just about everything.

3 Demons are under everyone's bed and behind every door!

4 If you want to be an expert demonologist all you have to do is read a few books and watch a few DVDs.

5 Lorraine Warren was beginning to fade from the public so Paranormal State revived her along with the myth of that Amityville horror hoax.

6 Take people who have mental issues and convince them they are demonically possessed. Perform a fake exorcism and leave them to suffer.

7 Make fun of suffering clients and promise to help them. Then, after the cameras are done rolling get out of town as fast as you can.

8 If anyone has the guts to stand up to your shady practices it's time to LIE! LIE! LIE!

Since they loved using phone psychics, why didn't they use the most famous one of them all -- Miss Cleo?

But the ultimate blow to the credibility of Paranormal State was the team using a spirit board in the final episode. If you have been a regular reader of my blogs you know my position on this matter as they are something to be avoided. And in a demonic haunting they are absolutely useless. Ryan Buell used to dislike them but apparently not any longer.

Unfortunately, this nightmare is not over. Just as Paranormal State faded away we are blessed with a new offering, Paranormal State: The New Class. What did we learn from the premiere episode? Why, it was just as faked and scripted as its predecessor. Yes, they fake evidence! Yes, they get everything wrong when it comes to the demonic!

We observe some very striking similarities to the first episode of Paranormal State.

1 Just as in "The Name" which was Paranormal State's first offering after the pilot, they brought us a demonic case. There is no proof of it being demonic.  

2 We are offered Chip Coffey as the psychic. Just like his past appearances, his readings made little or no sense. He didn't pass up the chance to use four letter words. For someone who claimed in "The Name" episode that demons/exorcisms weren't his area of expertise, Chip was quick to sling holy water. He'll interrupt a house cleansing and give bad advice -- which is nothing new for Mr. Coffey.

Here's an interesting observation. Chip claimed he left Paranormal State over personal and professional reasons, yet he chose to return for a single episode. We guess he fears not being on TV as that would mean he'd be out of people's minds.

Chip, thanks for reading this blog. You can rest easy knowing that you won't be mentioned in this Saturday's blog as we're exposing the Demon Exorcist conspiracy.

Issue 27 – Demon Exorcist: A DUD for Firecracker Films

Since we exposed "Demon Exorcist" a para-reality TV show pilot which aired on the Animal Planet as being fake, our mail box has been filled by people providing information backing up our claims. The star of the show, Dwayne Claud, has many people questioning his claims of being a "Demonologist". Allegations have been made that many paranormal groups either refuse to work with him, have been put in danger by his actions, or had to step in and clean up paranormal issues he created with clients -- and then left them hanging.

This proves our concerns as being valid that egotistical fake para-celebs seeking fame and fortune are placing the public in harm's way. We will launch a full investigation into Mr. Claud and will keep our readers informed as we gather information. If anyone has anything they would like to share feel free to contact us at: freeallspirits@live.com 

Yes, we will protect your identity.

 

More Chip Coffey Talk

Chip Coffey brings smiles to our faces and causes us to shake our heads -- all in less than 24 hours!

In case you haven't heard this on one of the interviews or read it in our book, we'll repeat it here: we like Chip Coffey. We hold no ill feelings toward him, but some of his actions make us shake our heads and others bring a smile to our faces. 

On the now concealed "Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal" Facebook page, a poster chose Easter weekend to attack Ron Tebo and his parenting skills. A person's family should be off limits and any attack aimed at children is wrong. Ron reached out to Chip Coffey and Chip responded. Here's the link detailing what happened. http://scifake.com/?p=4825  

For that action we smile when we think of Chip.

Then we are forwarded an article featuring Mr. Coffey promoting his upcoming Coffey Talk tour. We have no issues with him promoting his two-hour infomercial for his telephone readings, but some of his statements made us to shake our heads. Here's the article in question: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/04/23/2182489/chip-coffey-sixth-sense-showbiz.html#storylink=fbuser

1 Mr. Coffey claims that he has a degree in psychology, yet no one has been able to find the college in which it was allegedly earned. 

2 This line from the article concerned us: "Coffey tries to counsel his clients, seeing himself as a catalyst for them to make their own decisions, or as a grief counselor." Does Mr. Coffey hold the proper license in the state of Georgia to be a Counselor?

Paranormal Reality: Investigating Paranormal State: Episodes 11-20 Summarized

Whether you think Paranormal State is real or fake, here are some brief summaries of what is uncovered in the second ten episodes of our book, Paranormal Reality: Investigating Paranormal State. 

Episode 11 "Paranormal Intervention" - PRS fakes proof in this episode and misleads the audience about all the facts concerning this case.

12 "School House Haunting" – The negative things that Ryan writes in his book about Shannon Sylvia are proven untrue.

13 "The Haunted Piano" - Staged scenes, faked evidence, and Sergey's inappropriate behavior are seen here.

14 "The Woman In White" - What kind of booty did Ryan just happen to find in the tunnel? We also come across a misleading timeline.

15 "Requiem" - Dead Times and walkthroughs not done when indicated, so watch closely and see for yourself.

16 "The Sensitive" – This was done to promote Chip Coffey's upcoming Psychic Kids show. The team plants cold beer cans for cold spots and there is other misleading conduct.

17 "Mothman" – Wow, pay close attention and you get Ryan doing the Time Warp, Chip giving two versions of the same story and later he reveals something about batteries.

18 "Freshman Fear" - The myth of the team working on murder cases is born and debunked.

19 "The Knickerbocker" - When you don't have a lot of business, pretend your hotel is haunted and invite PRS to investigate. By the time they leave ghosts will be running wild.

20 "The Asylum" - The team uses a broken radio to reach out to demons. But do the demons respond?

Come back next week at some point we will talk about the drive for Chip Coffey to be made a saint. Oh, and Chip, thanks for reading our blog!

The Darkest Hours of Jesus

Copyright 2008-2011 By Kirby Robinson

Over the past few years there has been an effort by many to alter the story of Jesus Christ, His life, and how he died. These fictitious alterations have more often been wrong than right, and have confused and bewildered people, thus causing inner conflict and doubt.

This Good Friday, I’m going to write about my Jesus, the Jesus that I have grown to love, admire, respect, but never completely comprehend. My Jesus is the only Son of God. Sent here to earth to end the need for the Law of Perfection that the world suffered under until the day He was nailed to the cross. Born of Mary, a virgin, and Joseph, his earthly father, He was not a child of some rabbi or spiritual leader, or of a Roman centurion. Jesus, the child, turned into a man who under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the Lord himself, was taught all the knowledge to understand and comprehend His role in the struggle of good over evil, of light over darkness, of love over anger, and of peace over unrest.

If He did travel to India and Tibet to study under great masters, that’s fine, but it’s not important. If He didn’t, that’s good as well. If He got caught up in politics and wanted to see Israel free of Roman power, so what? He was a man, He had the power to think, and speak His own thoughts. But none of that really matters. Was he married to Mary Magdalene? Had children, even? Again, that’s not an issue that I hang any great importance upon. For what is the greatest expression of being but a man loving a woman and giving life to a child? So if he experienced this, great. If not, then that act of sacrificing a normal family life so that he could serve all of mankind. Did He come up with totally original and new ideas about the world? Some bold, brave, and new kind of thinking? No. Does that make him less a teacher if His message is simply one of love and compassion? Caring for your fellow man? That there can be victory over illness, suffering, and bondage in this very life and in death? That there is the reward of being one with the Father and being reunited with your loved ones? The most excellent truths we can seek are often the old ones. And when He learned what the final act of His earthy life had to be, the betrayal, the trial, the beatings and floggings, carrying His own instrument of death, and finally, hours of suffering, nailed up on the cross. Nails driven through both His hands and feet. With bones broken, organs bruised, blood flowing from countless cuts, He knew what He had been born to do. Not only had He come to give a message to an unlistening world, but also He came to this earth to live and die for all of us.

Just as His last breath left his body, spoke: “Why hast thou forsaken me?” and “Blame them not for what they do for they know not.” His blood flowing to the ground to pay a price so we can seek healing and salvation. With His breath gone, His body moved into a tomb, the darkest hours of Christ’s life was at hand. There was one final task He had to do. The hardest and most challenging task still lay ahead.

Christ had to descend and stay in hell for 72 hours. Alone, cut off from angels, the Holy Spirit, and the Lord Himself. He had to endure 72 hours of torment. What deepest recesses of hell He must have been cast down into. What manner of demons must have been unleashed upon Him? His spiritual body must have been torn to shreds. The devil, Lucifer and Satan only had 72 hours to force Christ into forsaking His power. Understand that Lucifer has access to the heavens. He knew about Revelation and the final conflict to be played out in Armageddon, and he knew that unless he broke Christ, he was going to lose the battle.

Jesus Christ is and was the ultimate Bodhisattva, (the Sanskrit term Bodhi [enlightenment] and sattva [being], meaning someone who releases all sentient beings from suffering). He had to take on all forms of physical illnesses during those hours on the cross. Every infirmity ever known to man, Christ had to endure. So we could be healed. Think of that, will you? Every form of cancer, every infection, virus, and germ released on his body. Every form of mental illness was unleashed on his mind. Each and every major and minor sin He endured. He had to go to hell and suffer the full might of evil for every single person that had been born, for all times, past, present and future. He paid the price for believers and nonbelievers. This is what grants us the grace of salvation for those who seek it. This is what grants us dominion to cast out demons. If Kirby Robinson’s name were used to cast out a demon, the dark forces would laugh, as I have no spiritual authority. But because of the dark hours that Christ spent in hell, He never gave up. He could have, but He didn’t. He knew that if HE could not withstand the onslaught of evil, then who could? Not you, nor I, but only Him.

Why is it that more and more people are trying to take Jesus off the cross and turn His works and teachings into myths and lies? His life was led to the fullest for every single person that has and will ever inhabit this planet. Some have been insinuating that His life was part of some wild conspiracy. He used the cross as a means of escape. He snuck out of Israel and lived under an assumed name in another country. A wise man once said that the smartest thing that the devil ever did was to convince people that he did not exist. I say, the smartest thing the devil ever did is convince people that Christ did not pay the ultimate price. He may sell that bill of goods to others, but not to me. I have Christ in my heart, spirit, and mind. My Christ lived for me, my Christ taught for me, my Christ suffered for me, my Christ died for me, my Christ rose for me, and my Christ will be there always for there for me. Will yours?

HAPPY EASTER!

Issue 26 – Demon Exorcist: The Good, The Bad & The What The #$*@?!

We keep getting reminded by God that He is the one that does the planning and we are only along for the ride. We hoped to focus on the drive for Chip Coffey to become a saint. Sadly, it's been postponed until next week due to the fact that we finally had a chance to watch the latest entry into the paranormal reality TV-land. What show superseded the importance of Mr. Coffey's impending Canonization? The pilot for "Demon Exorcist", that's what!

Great Radio Shows

Had a wonderful time on each of these shows and they deserve your support as listeners.

Paradacity was a very lively show! Hear it here: http://www.srnlive.com/~news/paradacity/2011-04-13_Paradacity.mp3

Demon Exorcist: The Good, The Bad & The What The #$*@?!

Animal Planet's latest entry into paranormal programming is a rework of "Paranormal State" minus the college students from PRS and Ryan Buell. The formula is still there: promises of those worst cases, confronting demons, and much more. Strangely, nothing is mentioned of any animals being possessed.

This time we follow a "Demonologist" by the name of Dwayne Claud as he drives around the back roads of the South facing demons at every turn. He's stocked with an endless supply of holy water and the latest gadgets designed to force demons to flee. But the show has some good points, a lot of bad, and a few moments that left me thinking, "What the @%$#?" Since my investigation into "Paranormal State" and all the deceptions it contains, it’s become harder to do. However, this show really brought it out of me.

BAD - The title itself. What is a demon exorcist in the first place? There is no reference in any theological literature that ever uses the term. So Mr. Claud gives himself a title that does not exist.

BAD - Using the term demonologist. This term is really starting to get overused and few really understand the meaning behind the word. There can be a secular use and a use of the word within a religious context.

On a secular level it means a person who has interest in demons. Anyone can use that term if they read up on the subject.

Within the Catholic Church the term can be used as one who has been called by God to take up the study of demons and to use that information to cast them out and help those who have been impacted by them.

Dwayne Claud can feel comfortable using the term in a secular fashion and I have no issues with that. But due to a statement that he makes early on the show, it prohibits him from using the term on the spiritual level, and the show loses all credibility. Dwayne states, "Faith plays a big part in what I do but I do not subscribe to any one religion." This renders the rest of the show as staged and/or scripted. In order to take authority over demons and drive them out you can only do so under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is that plain and simple. If your spiritual authority does not start from that point, it renders the cross useless, the holy water is just water, and your words, even if they are scripture, or from an established rite, have no force behind them. This may seem laughable, as many new agers attempt to blend all spiritual paths into one. Neither Dwayne nor I nor anyone have the power to cast out demons unless that power comes from God. The only way that power flows through a person is their faith in the Lord and to fully accept Christ as their Savior. 

Additionally, if you're following the calling to become a demonologist you have to abandon many trappings of this world and spend time in prayer, mediation, and study of the Bible.

GOOD - Dwayne asks questions and attempts to do an investigation.

GOOD - They tell us that some events in the show are a dramatization, unlike "Paranormal State".

BAD - You never take testimony from a child unless a mental health professional has been called in to gather that testimony.

BAD - You never accept a client's claims blindly. Did he check to see if the flickering lights were due to faulty wiring?

GOOD – It's important to see the topic of satanic ritual abuse brought up. Many in the secular field have tried to sell the concept that all satanic ritual abuse is false. If anyone has spent any length of time within this field one would find that such blanket statements are themselves false and fictitious.

BAD - Just as in "Paranormal State" we see the shadow of lights flicker. Is anyone turning the lights off and on? Then we are shown orbs as proof of paranormal activity.

BAD - Dwayne brings in a psychic and what does she contribute to the investigation?

WHAT THE @#$%$ - The ghost box? This is a reworking of Frank's Box. We are told it allows two-way conversations with the dead and demons! Talk about roaming charges! If you're operating as a demonologist as a calling from God, one of the gifts you'll be blessed with is that of spiritual discernment. You'll be able to see and communicate with demons without the help if any so-called "BOX".

WHAT THE #$%$ - Hypnotism should only be done by a professional. You should never accept information gathered as factual unless you can verify it from other sources.

BAD - He states that a house cleansing is an extreme ritual. False.

BAD – He states the holy water bottle is cloudy. It needs to be cleaned.

WHAT THE @#%$ - Dwayne performs a "baptism". He has no spiritual authority to do so.

Here are two other reviews of the Demon Exorcist.

Coffey Talk Review

What really goes on at one of those Coffey Talks? Read about it from a blogger who attended the show in Austin, Texas. The writer has no ties to the paranormal so be prepared for an interesting take on it.  http://themusicalfruit.net/?p=4301

I'm not sure what we will focus on next week due to all the breaking news and para-celeb hijinks.

Issue 25 – Paranormal State Should Be Slapped Silly!

Would like to send a big THANK YOU out to the folks at Spooky Southcoast [the archive will be updated later]. Had a great time on their show this past weekend, and thanks for taking time to read our book, Paranormal Reality: Investigating Paranormal State. Hope everyone who joined in had as much fun as we had. To see more forthcoming radio shows, check out the Radio Events page.

Sorry to those coming by expecting to read about the case for Chip Coffey to become a saint as expressed by one of his many followers. We also won't comment on Animal Planet's new reality show "Demon Exorcist" this week. Breaking news requires us to put off those stories until next week.

Paranormal State's Latest Slap in the Face to Ethics

This Monday A&E dumped one of the final episodes of "Paranormal State" on its viewers to prepare us for their forthcoming para-reality show, "Paranormal State: The New Class". By all the reports coming in, it's the same as the old class. They're even bringing in Chip "no one told me anything at least that's what my script says" Coffey.

We saw "Haunted Connection" the first episode of Season 6. This fake-fest began with Ryan Buell speaking in an even lower voice and slowing his speech down for the "Paranormal State" zombies. Attempting a cut-rate Marlon Brando or James Earl Jones imitation is actually comedy gold for those who can see and hear beyond the fakery. 

The episode focuses on a young couple, Kimberley and Eric. Kimberley claims she's psychic and has seen spirits all her life. Since moving into their home in 2007 they have had the following paranormal problems:

~ Hearing voices

~ Hearing footsteps

~ Doors opening and closing

~ A child runs up the stairs and up and down the hallway

~ Lights turn off and on

~ Cabinet doors and drawers open and close willy nilly

We're told the spirit is of a dead girl named Kimmie. She was killed at the tender age of 14 and her body was dumped in a cemetery. This cold case has been left open for 12 years.

We're in familiar territory as this is reminiscent of episodes from the first two seasons: "The Fire" and "Vegas". The deceptions in "Haunted Connection" are even worse.

The team arrives and they do their typical shtick. Everyone gives off the vibe that they don't want to be in Pittsburgh. There is no life behind their actions; they just go through the motions. Dead Time is barely 45 minutes long. [Was this done so they could film two Dead Times in the same night?] Chad pops up out of nowhere to tag along with Ryan. We hear the clichéd exclamations: "I hear something!", "Ryan, something moved!" "I see shadows!" The team is so lackluster they don't even bother showing Michelle Belanger's walkthrough. Only a reading from a work bench that was made by the dead girl.

Ryan meets with a man by the name of David who is allegedly the lead reporter on the story concerning the girl's death. If you freeze frame one of the shots of the articles you see that a David was lead reporter. But why does no one affiliated with "Paranormal State" ever offer his last night or give him credit at the end of the program? Legitimate reporters always use their full names. Could this be one more fake expert? In the past, they have included a variety of fake experts on the show.

Nothing is settled. Kimberley, the supposed psychic, is offered a few psychic lessons by Michelle. Nothing is determined about the haunting. The dead girl's sister is given some words of encouragement from Ryan and Michelle. During the closing director's log, Ryan tells us that he hopes this investigation will help solve the case…

Say what?! What just happened here? Or, better yet, what didn't happen? And what did the show, along with Ryan, hope you never learn? From more than one source, we've learned that Kimmie's family had only agreed to participate in the show if they would get help in solving the case. They received no help. They weren't allowed to ask what happened and who killed the girl. They had their most painful experiences paraded around in front of the viewing audience for the sake of ratings. And now they are left to suffer even more.

Shame on you, Paranormal State. Shame on Ryan and his team. What we have learned about this carnival of  fake para-celebs is they have no shame at all. I told a family friend of the dead girl that there is a judge. We all will face this judge who isn't blinded by celebrity status or wealth. A judge who won't buy the excuses he hears endlessly. In the end, Kimmie will get justice and others will learn that the price they pay for riding the fame train is a steep one.
