Due to a special report that will be running on
Saturday, May 24, 2014, we're repeating a popular blog originally titled "I Am Six" the Golden Goose of
Ryan Buell & PRS. Later today, we'll be adding the second part. These
blog posts were first published on the Eye on the Paranormal in July 2012.
Cancer
is a sad and terrible thing for anyone to suffer; especially someone as young
as Mr. Buell. The type he has is more often fatal, with a 4% survival rate at
one year, and 0% after five years. We at the EYE ON THE PARANORMAL ask that
everyone send their prayers to our GOD in heaven for the healing of Ryan Buell.
We
won't allow any negative comments concerning Ryan's disease. But what we can't
do is remain silent over a PRS Case Vault webinar that will be held on July 20
and 21. The subject is Paranormal
State's well-known fake
demonic possession case, "I Am Six" and its sequel, "The
Possession: Return of Six." Those two episodes laid the foundation for the
hordes of fake demon hunters that are running loose in the paranormal community
and the church today. Those two cases spawned so many lies, deceptions, and
distortions of how to confront the demonic.
For
$75, you'll get two programs that allegedly contain more shocking information
about this case from PRS and other eyewitnesses. Why is it that PRS never does
anything for free? Let's do a little math. If they get 100 people willing to
pay $75, they've earned $7,500.
1,000
= $75,000
5,000
= $375,000
10,000
= $750,000
For
no charge at all, we're sharing our in-depth look at both episodes, right from
the pages of our book, Paranormal
State Exposed. Due to the length, we'll concentrate on "I Am Six"
here and the sequel in the next blog post.
We're
open for a genuine debate by someone from PRS about the misconduct of Ryan and
his team. However, we're not holding our breath that anyone is brave enough to
come forward. You see, lies can never stand up to the light of truth.
However,
if we do get a response, we'll share it with you.
Season
2, Episode 32 "I Am Six"
The
“I Am Six” episode focuses on a young lady by the name of Lara, living in
Quincy, Illinois with her family. The 26-year-old is allegedly being attacked
by demonic forces. Her name is spelled Laura even though that's not the correct
spelling.
Observe
Ryan’s face, particularly the right cheek area, in the opening sequence at the
church. Notice there is no pimple there at that time. This issue will be
brought up as we progress through analyzing this section.
The
case briefing in the church takes place at 10:26 AM Day 1. They then travel to
the home, make introductions; set things up, and begin to tour the house by
11:33 AM.
Lara
greets them at the door; we see no sign of trouble or discomfort at all. She
even gives them the impression that she’s excited for them to be there—especially
Ryan.
Barbara,
the mother, states with little or no emotion in her voice, that the first time
Lara saw the black shadow, which by the way is never referred to again, that
Lara got hit in the stomach and couldn’t breathe for over one hour.
Lara
makes claims that writing and scratches appear on her skin periodically, yet
none are present at the time of filming. And we’re told that about 10 days
prior to their arrival there had been scratches of a pentagram on her skin, yet
there are no visible signs, nor are there any photos.
We
learn that Lara claims to have been sucked down a laundry chute. Again, no
proof or offering of injuries.
The
house tour starts at 11:33 and lasts until at least 4:10 PM. Ryan is wearing a
dark shirt. We then jump back in time to 2:37. Ryan is talking to Lara who’s
now minus her glasses.
We
are told that an EVP caused the entity to come in, yet we never actually hear
the EVP.
It's
now 3:48 PM. Ryan's talking to the mom, who’s not wearing the same outfit that
she had on at 4:10. Notice how she sells the story with the phrase “All the
time.” The mom adds that there is constant mayhem within the house but during
the entire four days nothing happens while the cast and crew are present.
At
4:28 PM Ryan interviews Bob, the father, and Ryan’s had time to change from a
dark shirt. Notice how calm the dad is and how he emphasized that his daughter
could be a great artist, maybe even a star. This exchange is intercut with a
shot of Lara reading a magazine in the kitchen showing no ill effects at all.
At
5:03 PM Ryan has changed back into his dark shirt for an evidence hearing.
Eilfie and Sergey, who don't claim to have medical training, determine that
Lara could not write on the inside of her thigh, nor on the inside of her arm.
How difficult would it be to scratch yourself there? Also, they don’t take into
account that someone else could have done it for Lara. Notice the markings
never take place on her face or any area on her body that couldn’t be concealed
with clothing.
Chip
Coffey arrives at 9:56 PM and does his walkthrough. Now it’s supposed to be
night but you can clearly see daylight in numerous shots.
Chip
claims that the demon has a very dirty mouth, yet he is the only person who
uses foul language during the entire episode. Here are direct quotes:
"Get
rid of all this ****** religious stuff!"
"More
religious ****!"
"Get
the f*** out of MY house!"
"I'll
kill the bitch!"
"It
****** her in the bathtub!"
"It
just scared the **** outta me!"
They
find a phrase scratched into the wooden floor in the closet. Again, the
scratches are done where no one would see it and be an embarrassment to the
family. In addition, note that Ryan’s voiceover is not done at the same time
the shot is made.
At
the start of Day 2, Ryan, who’s still wearing clothes from Day 1, points out to
Eilfie the scratches on the floor. At 11:36 AM Heather calls a German
translator but it’s clearly nighttime outside.
At
3:11 PM Heather interviews the former homeowner who informs her that one person
had died in the house.
At
5:05 Heather informs the PRS team that two deaths happened on the property. Yet
that’s not what the former homeowner said. Again, Ryan is still wearing
clothing from the first day.
Ryan
calls Reverend Calder at night of Day 2, and he flies in from Atlanta, Georgia
at 9:49 PM. Or was he waiting in a nearby hotel?
It’s
3 AM Dead Time. Lara is sleeping with her glasses on. And what is this mysterious
illness that she’s supposed to have? Please don’t forget they asked the parents
to leave the home.
In
the upstairs bedroom, Ryan, Chip, and Reverend Calder are arranged one way in
one shot, and in the next the Reverend is in a different area of the bed so the
camera guy could get a clear shot of Chip and the doorknob incident. Did anyone
see the doorknob turn other than Chip? Also notice that numerous shots from
this Dead Time are done in daylight and an attempt is made to block out the sun
as much as possible.
Lara
is supposedly attacked in the bathroom while she is alone. And Eilfie asks,
where’s Ryan? As if she has no idea where he’d be at that time. Ryan's wearing
his shirt from Day 1. In the very next shot the mother inexplicably appears in
the bathroom, yet the family had been asked to vacate their home.
We
see six scratch marks on Lara’s back and we learn that the demon’s name is Six.
There’s
a voiceover of Chip and Lara done during the exorcism. We’re given the
impression that it happened then. The mother claims that it scratched I AM SIX
on her back in the past. Where is the proof? Also take note that both outfits
that Lara and her mother are wearing are the same outfits they wore during Day
1 and we’re nearing the end of Day 2.
Day
3 starts off with a call at 12:20 PM to Lorraine Warren. This call is done on a
different day than the rest of the episode. Look at the dark pimple on Ryan’s
face; it’s hardly noticeable that day and in future scenes.
There's
an identical shot with the father, and the scene is set exactly the same way.
Both Ryan and the dad wear the same clothing from two days ago. What they
discuss is a scene taken verbatim from The Exorcism of Emily Rose where she becomes totally rigid while
in the bedroom.
The
interview with the psychologist is done poorly. Ryan seems to know very little
about what diseases could be misinterpreted as demonic possession, and he fails
to ask the proper questions concerning this.
The
family doesn’t react in a shocked manner when they learn of a possible exorcism
rite being done—it’s almost as if they’re wanting and/or anticipating it.
Notice that we’re in the evening of Day 3 and Ryan is wearing the same shirt as
in the beginning of Day 1.
For
a young lady facing a pending exorcism, Lara is very calm, her hair and makeup
are flawless, and she’s posed very provocatively on her bed toward Ryan and
Reverend Calder. She already has a red nose at the beginning of the scene,
indicating she’d been crying. Was this even her first take? The shot wasn’t
done at night but in the daytime. Watch the transition to the next scene.
Ryan
tells us that he must enter a state of grace. What he doesn’t say is that every single person connected to the exorcism must enter a
state of grace and how they indicate you go about it is totally wrong.
We
now come to Exorcism Day. You’ll notice the shutters in the living room switch
from open to closed at will.
The
EMT is shown once and disappears for the duration of the episode. Ryan’s shirt
has gone back to his Day 1 shirt, which is when the exorcism presumably was
filmed.
We’re
told the exorcism starts at 3 PM but notice the scanner that Ryan uses reads
4:01 PM. They cut and spliced numerous scenes together for a complete exorcism.
Suddenly, it’s 6 PM according to their clock.
A
big deal is made about it raining. What they don’t tell you is that it rained
off and on throughout that day. Here's the link to the Farmer’s Almanac.
On
July 18th, 2008, the weather station (QUINCY
MUNI BALDWIN FLD, IL), reported the following conditions:
High
Temp: 88°F
Low
Temp: 68°F
Average
Temp: 78°F
Dewpoint:
66.2F
Wind Speed: 4.6 Knots
Precipitation
Amount: 0.03 Inches
Observations:
Rain/Drizzle, Thunder
Now,
it’s 4:45 and sunny. Ryan walks out of the house to talk to Lorraine Warren,
yet we’re told it’s 7 PM when he goes outside.
It’s
11 PM and Chip has moved into the living room to take control of the exorcism.
Suddenly, it’s sunny outside again.
The
worst thing that the demon can do throughout the whole episode is call the poor
girl "sleazy." Also, notice how her hair changes from being up to
down, neat to messy.
The
clock is moving backwards because we’re supposed to be at 11 PM but it’s back to
5 PM.
It’s
Chip who decides she’s not breathing, from across the room. What happened to
the EMT? And notice how Ryan pops around the room. Suddenly we see it’s 10:55.
They keep splicing the show to make it appear more exciting. Observe, at the
very end of the exorcism, how Chip pushes aside Reverend Calder, in order to
have the final word. Remember, Chip was the one who declared in “The Name”
episode that he was neither a demonologist nor an exorcist.
When
Chip walks through the house for the final check, it’s daylight outside.
Two
weeks after the PRS cast and crew left Lara had a negative reaction to holy
water. The sad story continues in season 3.
We
need to step away from our presentation of letting the viewer decide what is
real and what isn't. There was and is no haunting. There was and is no demonic
presence, whatsoever. Due to the vast number of errors in the way this
"exorcism" is portrayed, and the harm that could come to pass if the
public accepts this gross distortion. Kirby goes on record to say that in his
professional opinion, this episode is fake.
Why
was this episode aired? What we have are two groups.
~
1 Paranormal Research Society and Paranormal
State
~
2 Lara and her family. Both groups have common needs. They want an exciting
show, they know the formula of Demons + Exorcism = Ratings. Lara is seeking
publicity and a desire to be in the media spotlight.
The
film The Exorcism of Emily
Rose provides an opportunity
for the pair to achieve their goals. Watch the film and see how it’s an
accurate depiction of how possession happens. You’ll also see some terrifying
things from Emily’s perspective. It’s interesting to note that the demon in the
film and the TV episode both say "I Am Six." Notice how similar some
scenes are within the movie and the TV episode.
In
addition, there have been two claims made by Lara’s family and Paranormal State.
~1
No paranormal group would help the family within the Quincy area. After
checking with various groups in the region, most weren’t contacted. Those who
were checked it out and found no evidence of a haunting.
~2
They claim the Catholic Church dropped the case. What they don’t tell you is
why. Also, none of the local charismatic churches were contacted to come in and
assist the family.
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 Lara acted claiming she
was possessed.
~
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 all holy places.
So just being in a church doesn’t prevent you from being attacked by a demonic
spirit.
~
2 When Lara 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 Lara 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 Lara’s bed to see if any discomfort
took place?
~
6 Father Andrew Calder does a walkthrough but no in-depth interview with Lara.
~
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, defined as many, means 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. It states that all mental illnesses must be ruled
out. The psychologist says that it is possible that Lara has a dissociative
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 Lara’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 Lara’s family should not have been allowed in the room.
~
14 Father Calder does not have any assistance in the exorcism.
~
15 Does Lara show any signs of real discomfort in the exorcism? She draws a
pentagram in the air, which means nothing to a demon. Lara’s voice doesn’t
change, nor do her physical features contort.
~
16 Chip should not have interrupted the exorcism.
~
17 Lara 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 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 its authority to be there.
~
20 Chip 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 Lara 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."
