The Worst in the Paranormal, Worst Paranormal

Poor little Gopher, a.k.a. Christopher Michael Young (a.k.a. Topher an alias used for the show), former PRS (Paranormal Research Society) and “Paranormal State” TV show gopher (personal assistant) for Ryan D. Buell (founder for PRS).  Topher had a few spots on the show.  Gopher seems to have his knickers in a bunch right now.

If you haven’t heard of Christopher Michael Young online in the paranormal circles while being a paranormal enthusiast, you will.  Generally people do not know who he is, even with his affiliation to the once popular show and find out only when he suddenly shows up antagonizing them or a friend demanding absolute proof of paranormal phenomena on photographs where no statement exist that one thinks it is paranormal.

Christopher was once known as “Worst Paranormal” meaning he was trying to highlight the “worst” in the field.  I have to say that the concept seems like a valid endeavor, except that perhaps his background did not afford him the reality of the real people and the real way most do things out there in the paranormal community.  (Note: Later changed to “Paranormal and Supernatural Claims Review”, but, we’ll keep with the nickname he so obviously earned.)

For instance, Christopher has time and time again attacked people on single pieces of evidence, (had these people actually said these photos were paranormal in the first place that is.)  The general rule of thumb and mostly accepted practice is to try to debunk all evidence collected, including electronic voice phenomena (EVP’s) (something I have not really seen him even try to debunk to this day) that are collected on an investigation.  A single piece of “evidence” (not to be mistaken as “proof”), is not considered valid WITHOUT COLLABORATING EVIDENCE.  He is so miserably ignorant of paranormal investigating that he does not even think about taking a synopsis of the evidence to garner what they are doing.  Instead, he attacks one by one any piece of what he considers their evidence and tears it apart.  He generally does this miserably, without realizing fully what he is talking about.  Listen to this link of how he tries desperately to berate and humiliate and force into submission this group of people from The Southwest Ghost Hunter’s Association (SGHA) who have PHD’s and are experimenting with sound.  It’s extremely interesting and exciting just to hear what they are doing and very humorous (especially when you understand just some of the science behind it and many will, but not Christopher a.k.a. Haunted Australia).  If even people with PHD’s can not make it through the ridiculous review process, what chance do most of the paranormal investigators in the field have?

People hit “like” on Young’s page because, it is not clear to them what his community page is about and it appears to be just another paranormal team with a fancy name. (It is anything but a peer group or community either.)  Generally speaking, people in the paranormal often communicate with each other and share information, techniques and ideas.  So it’s common to like many groups and “fan” pages and “community” pages.  Something that Christopher Young does not seem to understand out there.  Once in a while they’ll even like a comment not realizing fully what it’s about or what the issue is.  I have seen this happen many times.  So many people get caught up in numbers without realizing the lack of page interaction, which tends to be extremely low for his page.  This actually means he has very little pull in the paranormal community and being so, IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PARANORMAL COMMUNITY.  His page likes are not indicative of true interaction or support.

This is a guy who likes his daily dose of drama and readily spews it out where ever and when ever he finds some small tidbit to chew on.  He will take that tiny aspect of which he can criticize and build it into a giant mountain of overly regurgitated whining, complaining and just plain unadulterated chaos and do it for days.  It happens to people over and over again.  When he offers up this wonderful find like a cat catching a mouse, he leaves a nice post in his group setting the stage for the few members he has to post down right crude and rude comments that are anything but professional and then has the nerve to say he speaks for the entire community.  If the community was behind it, they would be posting too.  The one thing I find throughout any of his posts is any credible work being done at all.  Can anyone remember the groups he “exposed” or remember who any of the members were in them, besides me and my co-hosts?

One thing I find so funny is the mention of how I am so dangerous on his web site and that he is concerned for others, yet, makes post insulting me and encourages others to follow suit.  Wouldn’t most people think if this isn’t true and he is lying or completely stupid?  As he would not only be endangering himself, but, others with that type of thinking, would he not?  I suppose I am dangerous to him, because I stand up to him.  He has very little on me, so  he grasp at what ever small straw he can and inflates it into some great crime of which he claims I should be jailed for.  Of course my crime is telling the truth that he likes to ignore and make stuff up.  I find his rants amusing and ridiculous and find myself poking fun of his obvious flawed actions that everyone sees with him doing this.

Using big words, but, failing to properly learn what it is to be a paranormal investigator (and I do not mean the measly show training he got), or find out what the true field is all about and being so closed minded as to think he is the drop all of all paranormal knowledge, when in reality he is so ill informed, is obvious to most and never helps his case against people.

Investigating the paranormal is far more then taking pictures and throwing up plagiarized pictures of how dust orbs are formed.  The greatest flaw I see with his attacks is the inability to see the people he hurts that are not only berated in these online attacks that he seems so callous towards, but, those who are asking for assistance with their homes.  If you lack compassion and empathy for others, leave the field.  There certainly is no love of doing it feeling this way, unless one looks to control.

I’ll leave you with this thought, to all those whom I speak up for and have had the wrath of this unfortunate and sorry soul… He can not understand.  He doesn’t care.  It’s not about you.  It’s about his own ego.  Do not feel insulted, hurt or even worry about what he says.  Say your peace on your own page, avoid commenting on his that reinforces his actions and behavior by giving him attention and then, cut him off, block him and do not stress.  More times then not, what he says negative about others, will be read as whining or rude and reflect more on Christopher or any of his cohorts then the one he means to defame.  It always backfires.  This is why Christopher is perceived the way he is, a sad man with a very arrogant and grumpy nature who spews hate in the guise of self righteous indignation.

Special Report - Ryan Buell & the Cancer that is PRS, Part I

By Kirby Robinson

This is a Special Report. The cancer that was and still is Paranormal State, Ryan D. Buell and the Paranormal Research Society – Part I.

NOTE: The staff of the American edition of the Eye on the Paranormal was not responsible for the production or posting of this blog. The staff of the Eye on the Paranormal – European Edition – is solely responsible.

Paranormal State’s lack of credibility as well as the questionable practices of Ryan D. Buell and the organization known as the Paranormal Research Society (PRS) were topics that I had hoped would fade away from my memory as well as the memories of the public. But due to the fact that Ryan and PRS have been scamming people over the sale of tickets for events or webinars that never happen (mind you these problems aren’t new, they were occurring as far back as 2008 when the show was still on the air.) Ryan and PRS are responsible for the cottage industry that was created by misinforming TV viewers of what happens during a paranormal investigation. Far worse was the false perception of what goes on during a demonic case. It motivated certain people with less than honorable motives to copy such actions and continue to damage both the credibility of the paranormal community and the public who turn to these fakers for help and knowledge and get neither in return.

Some of the cast have turned their appearances on the program into other media gigs. Others have not been so lucky. One such cast member is a gentleman now known as Michael Young. Back when he appeared on the show, he was known as Topher Michael Young.

To be fair we need to give you some back story. Topher was a very dedicated lad while affiliated with the PRS and was eager to please Mr. Buell. Topher used to help with monitoring the PRS board to make sure that no one questioned the validity of the show. He even appeared on a few episodes. In October 2008 when the first client told her story on the Eye on the Paranormal, raising questions about the show’s validity, he and a rabid band of attack dogs went on the warpath trying to destroy the client’s credibility. They even went so far as to say she was crazy or had her own credibility issues. Funnily enough, they felt her case was credible when they filmed it. Topher’s mother, who was promoting events in Las Vegas at the time, even approached myself as well as members of the Ghost Divas with offers to speak at an event that had something to do with vampires, S&M, leather, bondage, and kinky sex if we dropped our reporting on the subject. None of us accepted.

Topher was never close to the top of the food chain. He was never a fixture on the show and after a few years he left claiming that his views changed over time and that he became disillusioned with Buell.

Becoming disillusioned with a mentor is something I can understand, as I experienced that with one of my mentors, Dr. Gene Scott. His PhD was earned from Stanford University years ago and the school library had a copy of his doctorate dissertation. While I was around him, I watched a man go from a great teacher to one who no longer taught on any subject other than give me all your money. The last straw came when one Sunday he had the front row of the Los Angeles Theater, the home of his church at that time, filled with playmates, hookers, porn stars and exotic dancers. He later went onto marry one. After his death, Melissa Scott became the leader of the church. Here’s a link about Pastor Melissa Scott:

 http://www.marieclaire.com/world-reports/news/melissa-scott-porn-pastor

As I grew older and a little wiser in the Lord, my eyes began to see warning signs. Dr. Scott was a big fan of Ed Warren and communicated with him. Things that were shared from the conversations were things that every beginning demonologist should know. I was always like yeah everyone knows that was the meat from Ed Warren’s teaching. So I can understand his struggles but it seems that Mr. Young speaks and thinks with a forked tongue and mind.

On one hand he disagrees with Mr. Buell’s views and management style, on the other hand he claims that everything was on the up and up on the show and it just might have been exaggerated a little bit.

Exaggeration is when you tell your date that the McDonald’s she is being taken to for dinner is fine dining. Lying is when you tell a client and the viewing public that there are GHOSTS and DEMONS around every corner and in every basement and attic.

He claims that if an error is found in the show that has been all explained away and the record is clear. If you question his or PRS versions of events then you’re jealous, you want your own reality show or you have some kind of agenda.

All are talking points that PRS has used for years.

But Topher is a very dangerous sort of animal as the spiritual cancer that affected the show and all those around it has affected him.

For a while, he has run a Facebook page called Worst Paranormal. Anyone with paranormal and supernatural claims better be able to back them up, which is all well and good. Does he go after well known paracelebrities? No, only mom and pop paranormal groups. Does he go after all Psychics and Mediums including those well known in the paranormal field? Those featured on Paranormal State? No. Only those that the media has decided are far game. It’s like Theresa Caputo, the Long Island Medium, if it had not been for Ron Tebo and Radar Online we would still only get feel good stories about her. Now it is cool to go after her. Does Topher go after big named TV show hosts like Zak Bagans and Amy Allan? No. He does go after minor internet hosts. Now he says demons do not exist. Does he go after some of the big named demonologists and pastors that take on demonic cases? No. He goes after small fry like myself who do not claim to be in the paranormal at all.

Topher suffers from a disease known as Facebook Paranormal Nobody Syndrome. It affects many folks. You get a Facebook page, call it paranormal something or other, get a few hundred friends, maybe a small website, and then your ego starts to grow and you think  you’re somebody.

And if you refuse to play along with Topher and PRS, then you have something to hide.

In the future parts of this series we will take a deeper look into the cancer that was and is Paranormal State, Ryan Buell, and PRS. We will show that Mr. Young’s world falls apart when the light of the truth is shined on it.

Parts 2 and 3 will run July 4 and 5.

PRS & American Ghost Hunter the Movie & Other Events

By Chris Baricko

Well it appears that more of the paranormal fans are not getting what they paid for once again. Let's start with Brian Harnois, formerly of Ghost Hunters. He got thousands of dollars from fans all over my self being one of them. Yet hardly anyone got anything they paid for, Brian kept posting he was shipping everything daily.

Well Brian decided to run and hide without giving the people what they paid for. He not only owes for tee shirt's, DVD's and refunds for events, he also owes for art work he was using  and never paid the artist. Many people went to the RI State attorney they are involved but Brian is in hiding even from them.

Now back to American Ghost Hunter the movie. It appears they are doing the same thing Brian did. Look on there page many fans are rightfully upset some have been waiting 6 months for a DVD. Some were told it would be signed & were not.  Now I don't see any reason why it should take 6 months to get a DVD?

Is there any proof they even have the DVD's in hand ready to ship? This is not the first time PRS [Paranormal Research Society] has not given the fans what they paid for. In 2012 PRS sold tickets for a field trip and never did the event & gave no notice to the fans. It cost the fans thousands of dollars. Once again, fans got nothing but excuses. Click on the links below at the bottom of this post to read for yourself what others are saying.

Seems way too many fans in the paranormal community are not getting what they paid for or expected they would get. It seems when the person gets called out they do one of 3 things.

1. Make excuses. 2. Run and hide or 3.Threaten you. The best advice I can give is do what I my self did. file a report with the States attorney. Yes they do take it serious and know this is going on but they can't do anything if people don't speak up. I am still active in getting justice for myself and others Brian ripped off. Its only a matter of time till he has to show his face. So in closing. I strongly advise buyer beware ask around do your home work before paying a dime for any event.

UPDATE: I just noticed that at the Facebook page, American Ghost Hunter The Movie, they are removing any comments. Were the people are speaking up and calling them out and only leaving the positive one's. Come on who's trying to fool who here?

Is Lindsay Lohan Joining the PARANORMAL RESEARCH SOCIETY [PRS]?

The answer might be yes! Lindsay has enough legal issues swarming around her, a fair share of scandal and deception, along with money issues. What should seal the deal is that PRS has a Mean Girls club deep within the bowels of PRS-Land. If someone should say or write anything bad about Ryan, their name pops up on the Mean Girls club hit list. Some even claim that they love Ryan and Sergey so much they’d let their kids die while they save the shady pair who rule PRS. In the Mean Girls club lingo, PRS really means Protect Ryan & Sergey.

How did this news come out? One of my fine reporters sent me a link to a Rip-Off Report that centers on the dribble of mostly internal complaints in a ghost-hunting group. But as the comments went on, the subject turns to PRS and what they’ll do to you if you don’t drink enough Kool-Aid and refuse to jump down the rabbit hole.

See the Ice Melt! Jim Bakker Proves He’s a False Teacher & Lousy Weatherman

Last week I shared the news that TV preacher Jim Bakker was warning the public that the weather was going to turn so cold across the nation that it would lead to death and mass destruction. Not only that, the deep freeze would last until spring. This was done to sell you more beans and a generator—because you’d make it through if you had enough power to heat up those beans!

Jim must get his news from one of those things who live in a the land of fire and suffering, as the current forecasts call for a warm up across the nation. So what happened to the freeze? It’s just one more sad fable from a sad false teacher sitting in Branson, MO hoping to play in the big leagues but has no true teaching to offer.

Jumping on the Ordained Train--Next Stop--False Teaching-Land

Over the week, a mini debate took place on the blog concerning the subject of ordination. If your mind is really focused on God and you have the ability to see spiritually you’d know this subject is full of crap and is manmade, and not from God. Show me one place in the Bible that mentions the term ordination for any man or woman. Ordination stems from man, organized religion, and the demonic forces.

Here’s a good page that takes an honest look at the ordination process from a religious perspective:

http://www.kencollins.com/answers/question-46.htm

God the Father nor Jesus Christ never mentioned being ordained as a requirement to be a teacher of the gospel or a worker of miracles in the Name of Jesus.

You can walk this path and be filled with the love of Christ and desire to save the world and you can go through this path and be driven by ego, sin, and darkness.

There are online churches that will give you a paper that says you’re ordained. Sometimes there is no cost; sometimes the cost is only a few bucks.

The true purpose of the latter is to have something to brag about and feel important. The bearer of the false ordination can use it to take advantage of the tax laws and by gosh marry folks so you can make some extra cash. Also, there are those who do funeral sermons for some extra jingle.

None of the above really makes you ordained in the eyes of the one and mighty God. He is the only one that can really ordain anyone and only that ordination matters in the end

There will be many ordained pastors standing in front of the Lord and claim to be ordained  but will be found wanting. Here are two examples of their excuses:

“My teachings had to be true I was ordained, I had degrees, I had training. So if I told him them to send me money and they would get it back because of first fruits, I was right.”

“God, I was ordained so if I had sex with some women, some men and some children I was doing it out of love--ordained love.”

Get the message?

You can go through life, be a true man/woman of God, and never have an ordination in front of your name. Conversely, you can be ordained and destined to sit next the devil in hell.

When one of those false ordained preachers dons vestments, perform a wedding, and says the words “let not a couple joined by God be broken by man.” Who has the power to say those words? In some cases, I’d say a false preacher is cursing the couple with failure by performing the service.

Mark Hunneman was attacked over his ordination, as was Michael Frisbee. Go ask Chip Coffey about his ordination. While you’re at it, dig for information about Andrew Calder’s ordination -- you might be surprised.

In our book NeverMock God: The Unauthorized Investigation into Paranormal State’s “I Am Six”Case we prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Andrew Calder wasn’t who he claimed to be. The Episcopal Church never ordained him. And all those fake para-celebs like Ryan Buell, Chip Coffey and Dave Schrader knew it and even helped him sell it.

Andrew Calder performed a wedding service in Nevada. In that state, you have to be licensed to do so. Did he lie about his ordination? That would be a felony. Did he even bother to file for a temporary license? [Try to come after me on this one and I’ll publish a letter that will further prove the facts]. Andrew Calder just went ahead and preformed the service with a list of of well-known fake para-celebs and one or two real ones.

So stop wasting your breath debating who is ordained or not. It’s of man not of God. Just that you are doesn’t make you a true teacher. Who really polices this crap anyway?

Unless you falsely claim to be ordained by man, and aren’t ordained—then it becomes an issue.

By the way Jesus Christ was never ordained by any man and He was the greatest teacher of all!

BREAKING NEWS! Ryan Buell’s Been Caught with his Pants Down…

… or was that a False Police Report in his Hand?

For all those thinking that we don’t have reporters everyplace, please think again. We catch Ryan Buell and his tool crew up to no good.

We have to share what might be Ryan’s new theme song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm6xexu_wJY

Robert Crook, a lawyer and part-time moderator on the message boards, makes sure Ryan and crew only read and hear what they want to. Mr. Crook is always worshiping Ryan and he tries to spin a story to please his dark master. Yet this lawyer named Crook ultimately fails.

Here he spins a story with the help of Ryan:

But here is the truth:

It has come to our attention that Robert Crook, PRS staff and associate attorney at Bradley & Gmelich, has made posts to PRS social sites indicating the following:

“Recently, a number of people have been contacted by a man posing as a law enforcement officer, seeking any information concerning Ryan [Buell] and PRS.  This claim is bogus.  There is no law enforcement organization seeking information about anyone affiliated with PRS.”

He then further indicates that the individual(s) who have brought this activity to his attention wished to remain “anonymous”.

We cannot corroborate the claim that a man impersonating an officer is contacting individuals within the PRS community at random.  However, we can confirm that Ryan Buell, director of PRS, recently contacted Lakeland, FL police and filed a report, the contents of which the investigating officer found to be inaccurate.  In the course of investigating Mr. Buell’s claims, the officer was told about the refunds issue and decided to open an investigation into that matter.

To aid law enforcement in its efforts, we have prepared and provided to police a list of individuals who voluntarily gave us their names and contact information and expressed that they wished to make statements.  Only those people who have given their names should be contacted by police.

While the investigating officer has, at this time, indicated he feels the claims are primarily civil in nature, he has deferred the matter to the FBI (as the purchases occurred over the internet) for further review.

We have been directed by law enforcement to instruct those seeking a refund to file a report using the ic3.gov complaint center.  Your report should subsequently be routed to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

You also have the option to commence litigation against PRS to seek reimbursement of any monies you may be owed.  We are happy to help with attorney referrals, but we cannot give you legal advice.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at paranormalrefunds@yahoo.com.


UPDATE


Additional information has come to our attention which warrants a few corrections/clarifications to our post above.

It is our understanding that Mr. Buell’s complaint to the Lakeland City Police was not looked into further after the officer’s preliminary investigation.  The Polk County Sheriff has initiated a separate investigation in response to customer complaints.  Therefore, our previous statement that it was the officer taking Mr. Buell’s complaint that initiated the investigation as it relates to refunds was inaccurate.  They are actually two separate matters.

The sheriff is aware that tickets were purchased through Eventbrite and may have access to a roaster of individuals who have purchased tickets to PRS events.  Thus, there is some possibility that if you have purchased a ticket to a PRS event in the past, you may wind up being contacted.  Further, as more ticketholders file complaints with the FBI and/or their local police offices, there most likely will be more law enforcement officials investigating the matter and asking questions.  We have no control over how the police may conduct their investigation.  It is always wise to make sure you know who you are talking to.  Getting the officer's name, a work phone number where you can call the officer back, and the office where the officer works out of is prudent.

You are still encouraged to file a complaint through the FBI Cyber Crime Complaint site at ic3.gov website if you are owed money.  As an additional measure, you can follow up with your local police department. Be sure to bring your FBI complaint number with you and give it to your local sheriff when you file your local complaint.  The police are viewing the refund of the ticket price as a potential criminal matter, and only ancillary expenses (travel, lodging, time off from work, etc.) as civil.

We sincerely apologize for the errors contained in our statement above and hope this post helps clarify matters.
