Narcissists & the Paranormal

By Lisa Maliga

According to a prolific blogger, Sandra Sparks, it turns out that Kirby Robinson is the inspiration for my novel entitled: Love Me, Need Me: A Narcissist's Tale. Ms. Sparks found the time to write about it in her blog on Thursday, October 6, 2011. [Her blog has been parked as of October 10, but the EoTP team has screenshots of all the blogs].

In the middle of the long and aggravating experience of dealing with the constant posts from a self proclaimed demonologist/exorcist/psychic/medium named Kirby Robinson, Psychic Kids' Christopher Fleming wanted me to be sure to read up on narcissism. I didn't have to - I understood. So does Lisa Maliga, Kirby's editor of his self published e-books. Just the word describes Kirby.

Lisa wrote him into one of her own novels  I would give you the link, but, in an earlier version of this entry, I think something was attached to the link that didn't allow for the material to appear on the published page - or something more unexplainable was going on. This description of her novel will probably disappear quickly after I publish this, but it was written by Lisa to describe her own book, and was public at the time this entry is written:

"Love Me, Need Me is about a bumbling sexual predator, narcissist, and author of three insipid zombie books. Middle aged Arlen J. Stevenson hails from Alabama. His relentless and often hilarious pursuit of women leads him to our other protagonist, Los Angeles-based writer of term papers, Helena Hoffman...

...we see Arlen's self-absorbed lifestyle as he endeavors to screw his numerous catches all over the South. Helena and Arlen get friendlier via their online communication, and he invites her to be his personal manager because of her communication skills, gullibility factor and location..."

Middle aged Kirby J. Robinson hails from Indiana. That is just too rhymingly poetic to be a coincidence. And the description is too close to things people who have been the targets of his harassment have noticed about Kirby - he goes after people who have the things he wants: attention for being what he wants to be. People who are on the inside, who are on television, on radio, in the spotlight, and making income for talents he can't begin to have.  His jealousy knows no end - seriously. I have volumes of screen prints of posts because he just can't stop harassing people.

If you look at most of his posts one at a time, you wonder where the harassment is. He loves to spout bible-isms. Which is funny coming from a self proclaimed Buddhist. He loves Chip Coffey. When he doesn't hate him. He hates Christopher Fleming because Chris is young, good looking and has everything, everything, Kirby wants for himself. He uses lots of sock puppets - when they aren't praising Kirby, they're saying mean things Kirby wouldn't dare say out loud himself. I think that's why he likes Ron Tebo: Ron is mean. Kirby is - seriously - not of this planet. He is the kind of troll which compells you to be there to understand how awful he really is. But if you are there observing him at his game, that's what he wants - the attention. Be his mirror. He'll only see his own reflection, not you. The only mirror that really bothers him is me, because I am much too clear a mirror. That's why he has mounted a heavy attack against me, that only reveals his own deep dishonesty and flawed personality.

And I find, with the words his best friend wrote - that's all he is. A fictional character. There are real people to attend to.

Ms. Sparks neglected to use the full title and description of my book. Here it is:

"Love Me, Need Me: A Narcissist's Tale" is about a bumbling sexual predator, narcissist, and author of three insipid zombie books. Middle-aged Arlen J. Stevenson hails from Alabama. His relentless and often hilarious pursuit of women online leads him to our other protagonist, Los Angeles-based writer of term papers, Helena Hoffman. She isn’t aware of what Arlen is as she only sees his amusing and entertaining side in their daily email correspondence. 

Told in alternating points of view, we see Arlen’s self-absorbed lifestyle as he endeavors to screw his numerous catches all over the South. Helena and Arlen get friendlier via their online communication, and he invites her to be his personal manager because of her communications skills, gullibility factor and location. Unlike his other victims, she never sends him pictures of herself, but she launches a MySpace site for his new company. Soon he realizes there are thousands of available women in his region alone! Unlike the jailbait that many online stalkers pursue, Arlen chases after their mothers and grandmothers. Helena is aware of his perpetual cheating and decides to investigate it in person. What happens after that is alternately scary and darkly humorous.

Contains graphic sexual content and language.

It's evident that Ms. Sparks failed to read the book. Had she done so, it would have been clear that the character of Arlen is a lot different than Kirby. 

Here are some dissimilarities:

Kirby is from Indiana, not Alabama. Both states are east of the Mississippi River and end with the letter 'A'. Not much of a comparison here.

Kirby is legally blind and is unable to drive. Arlen wears glasses but does lots of driving in his vehicle which he's named the Truckin' Temple of Love.

Kirby doesn't write zombie books. Arlen has written three of them, including Zombies on the I-285. Kirby writes nonfiction and hasn't been to Atlanta.

Kirby avoids any instant message programs. Arlen keeps adding screen names so he can flirt with his victims incessantly.

Unfortunately, there are many real people like Arlen hanging out on the 'net in chatrooms, forums, Facebook, blogs, MySpace and lots of other places. Yes, I've encountered narcissists online and offline. You don't live in Southern California for any amount of time without encountering a few of them! I wrote this book to warn others of the dangers of online stalkers.

I also wonder about the futility of someone comparing a fictitious character to a person they've never met! 

Amazingly enough, I'm able to add a link to the book without any difficulty!

The Church's Warning to Paranormal Teams

By Ryan Harshbarger

There seems to be a new trend in the paranormal community of teams taking on demonic cases and in some cases even performing exorcisms. “The repercussions of this can be without question devastating to both the client and the one performing the rite.” Demonology by definition is merely the study of demons, “so how does one acquire the label demonologist?” Does a man become a Priest by reading the Bible only once? Does a man become an astronomer by gazing at the stars on an occasion? The answer is no obviously, so how can a person man or woman who has no affiliation with the Church or have any extended background in theological studies possibly be able to perform the rite? I have been involved in the paranormal field for around 16 years and my family well over 40 years and by no means would we “ever attempt to go 12 rounds with a demon” but demons sell and teams these day’s seem to crave attention and what’s the best way to receive credibility than to say “Yeah I’ve done 7 exorcisms, and cleansed 15 homes.”

Most evidence collected by ghost teams is collected on the physical level, such as EVP’S, Footsteps etc. when you and your team are engaging in a demonic case you’re battling on the spiritual level and for a team to cross into spiritual warfare it is not something you can accomplish just by reading some info on the Internet about. The sad part is that the clients that are honestly being demoniacally tormented and seeking help from supposed “exorcism experts” are being spoon-fed misinformation and guidance by team’s that by day work regular 9 to 5 job's and are by no means Priests. I recently had a lady contact me who was dealing with a very serious demonic case. The team did their improved exorcism and actually amplified the situation even worst. Thankfully, I was able to contact a local Catholic Church and now she is receiving the proper help she needed in the first place.

I had the pleasure of setting down with Father Dennis Cooney of the Saint Raphael Parish in Lehigh Acres, FL about this topic and his opinion on paranormal teams taking on demonic cases. The following interview is unedited and this is the Father Cooney's thoughts on this matter.

Me: “There seems to be a lot of paranormal teams that are taking on demonic cases.” “I recently worked one with Kirby Robinson and Leon Wilkes.” “The client had many different teams do investigations that seemed to make matters only worst because they were doing a lot of things that was amplifying this thing by doing EVP’S and trying to communicate with this demon.’” So what is your view on paranormal teams involving themselves in demonic cases? “

Father Cooney: “Caution, Tremendous caution!” “Because they're opening the door, in fact I think you are opening the door to demonic influence and power.”  “Remember at the heart of the demonic as our Lord Jesus Christ teaches the demon is a liar and a good liar.” “A good liar is someone who can make themselves look very credible and that is why Satan is very good at deceiving people and leading people on. He is letting them think that they are doing something worthwhile or their in control of the situation.” “When in fact he’s just leading them in with the bait.”

Me: “Tell me the first thing that comes to mind when I say this word.” “Demon”

Father Cooney: “Pure Evil!”

Me: “Why do you think all of the sudden there is this tremendous interest in demons?”  “Do you think it’s because of all the new ghost shows that are coming up on television?”   

Father Cooney: “Yes, I think that’s part of it.” “In the popular culture you have movies, Paranormal Activity the film that was out a few years ago, but not only that I think there is another thing as well.” “As the great Christian writer once said G.K Justin, “that when people stop believing in truth or the true GOD they don’t wind up believing in nothing they end up just about believing in anything.” “We have a highly secularist culture that ignores GOD that pushes GOD aside but yet the same time the person remains deeply hungry and thirsty for the spiritual.”

"What you have is people getting involved in all sorts of strange bizarre spiritual rites, strange rituals, cults and activities.” “Example Wicca, understand magic is a portal it can be very innocently tampered with but what can come through is not usually good.”  “A lot of people need to realize when they are fooling around in the spiritual realm not everything in the spiritual world is good.”  “Sometimes people don’t make that distinction and that’s what leads them to a lot of demonic influence and activity.” “The devil is a very good liar and manipulator and a lot of these mediums that are communicating with souls that have crossed over are not always dealing with real human being’s or souls but speaking with demons disguising themselves.” “I would strongly advise against anyone engaging in this activity.”  There’s an old saying “if you whistle for the devil he will come.”  “From the experience of the Church, always use caution in this and use that caution, if it’s something of GOD it will announce itself as such.”

Me: “What are your thoughts on demonology?”

Father Cooney: “Demonology is really a branch of theology these people are engaging in what they believe is exorcism ministry.”  “This is very dangerous and I would strongly advise against it.”  “You have to keep in mind you’re dealing with a lot of charlatans now and their motivation is money.” “This curiosity of this sort is very dangerous to the soul.”

Me: “What do you think the repercussions could be of these teams that are performing a cleansing and exorcisms could be?”

Father Cooney: “Extremely Dangerous!” “For a human being to be combative without the protection and grace of the Church, that’s why we never operate without the Church, it’s as foolish as me getting into a boxing ring with a world champion.”  “When you’re dealing with the demonic you’re dealing with a fallen angel and a fallen angel still has the natural powers of an angel.” “So the comparison is that of a bangle tiger versus a mouse.”

There you have it folks, this is only part 1 of this series so stay tuned. Here is something to keep in mind as well.

“From the Commentary of the Code of Canon Law”

Canon 1172 - (1) No one can perform exorcisms legitimately upon the possessed unless he has obtained special express permission from the local ordinary. (2) The local ordinary is to give this permission only to a presbyter who has piety, knowledge, prudence, and integrity of life.

An exorcism is a sacramental by which "the Church asks publicly and authoritatively in the name of Jesus Christ that a person or object be protected against the power of the Evil One and withdrawn from his dominion. The canon pertains to solemn exorcisms observing the Rite of Exorcism of the Roman Ritual, not to the simply exorcism that are part of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or the baptism of infants. 

One of the praenotanda to the 1998 Rite of Exorcism (n13) has completely reordered this canon. There are significant differences between the new law and the canon.

An exorcist is to be a priest (sacerdos) not a presbyter (presbyterus) as in the canon, which means bishops as well as presbyters may be appointed exorcists.

The priest must have specific preparation for this office.

"For the most part" (plerumque), the local ordinary who appoints the exorcist should be the diocesan bishop, which implies that the vicar general and episcopal vicar should not do it without a special mandate, except in a case of need when the bishop cannot be reached.

The exorcist, whether appointed to the stable office of exorcist or ad actum, is to fulfill this ministry under the direction of the diocesan bishop.

Issue 47 – The Dead Files/Psychic Kids & Child Protection Laws/Chip Coffey Silent on Hate Speech

Bishop Long on Sunday Nights

Join Bishop Long on Sundays from 8 to 10 pm on  http://www.usocc.org/USOCC/USOCC_Radio.html for his show Sacred Division. My segment is called SAY WHAT? I talk about things within the paranormal community that has caught my eye and raised my dander.

The Good, The Bad & the What the %$&! of "THE DEAD FILES"

If you'd been surfing cable on Fridays you might have stumbled onto a new para-reality show called The Dead Files. Personally, I received a Facebook event invite from one of the shows stars to tune in. I found this odd as my track record is well known for uncovering deceptive acts on such shows as: Paranormal State and its New Class along with the Demon Exorcist, Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal, and Celebrity Ghost Hunt, to name as few. Also, there have been some that we had no issues with such as: Paranormal Challenge, A Haunting and Haunted Collector. So we decided to tune in and see if it could pass muster. In some ways it did, but in others it fell way short of a legit show.

This show could be called Paranormal State on Steroids as it copies the visual style of the show and the format of the investigations to a tee.

A psychic by the name of Amy Allan does a walkthrough that greatly reminds you of Chip Coffey's walkthroughs. One wonders if he'll be asking for his act back? An unnamed video guy follows her every step, filming her as she picks things up. Across country, and at a [presumably] different time, a former NYPD detective by the name of Steve Di Schiavi does a fact gathering investigation on his own. They both meet to share what they uncovered. See if it matches. Then they meet with the client. They all compare details and offer the client help. Does this replicate any episode of Paranormal State?

I wish I could give it a glowing review as the two hosts seem to be very nice people, but unfortunately I can't. So here is the good, the bad, and the What the %$&!

GOOD - The work of the detective seems to be a very good way to handle a historical investigation of a case. Detective Di Schiavi has a very logical way of working and asks great questions.

GOOD - Amy Allan seems to be a nice person: the type of person you would like to sit down and have a chat with.

BAD - After watching the first two episodes, we see that Amy is never wrong about anything. She picks up everything and is100% on the mark 100% of the time. Just like with the psychics on Paranormal State, nobody in real life is that good all the time.

BAD - In the second episode they claim to encounter a demon, so they are very much in my territory. Unfortunately, everything pretty much falls apart from this point.

Amy claims that she rarely encounters them, which is good, because they aren't that common. But then she makes a very odd statement: "I am not sure there is a hell." Well where else would a demon come from -- the pages of a Stephen King book? She complicates the whole thing by claiming "the Catholic church would call it demon." Demons aren't the sole property of the Catholic Church but pretty much the entire Christian faith deals and directly addresses the demon topic. [This is proof of what I try to teach. If and when a psychic encounters a demon, they should excuse themselves and have a demonologist called in].

WHAT THE %$&!- But where the show falls apart, and I don't want to give the story away, is when they directly address the client concerning the demon.

1 They completely fail or refuse to realize that the demon was the cause of the crime and never offer the man sitting in prison any help.

2 They tell the client they can help the person deal with the demon. How, you ask? Do they have the building blessed by a man/woman of God? Do they call in a demonologist to confront the demon? No. All they do is walk around the building using sage and some kind of New Age speak that a demon would laugh at!

Watch for Part 2 of The Good, the Bad and the What the %$&! next Wednesday.

Chip Coffey & Chris Fleming Remain Silent

Just what are they hoping to hide from the public? We have been asked that repeatedly due to the fact that we have yet to hear anything from either of them. What don't they want the public to know about? In the weeks to come we will be exposing just what they are trying to hide!

Did Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal Break State Laws & Endanger Children?

Over the next several weeks we will be list three episodes of the show, the state in which it was filmed, and the first names of the children featured in the show. We'll also provide a link to that state's department of Children and Family services website so the concerned public can ask them to begin a investigation into the matter. This is due to the fact that mental health advice was given to children by a unlicensed people such as Chip Coffey, Chris Fleming, and Michael Griffin.

1. Ashley, 13, from Wisconsin Dells, and Dalton, 15, from Danville Illinois were taken to a location in the state of Wisconsin in which Chip Coffey gave them and their family mental health advice. Mr. Coffey has no licensing nor is he certified to do so. Here is the link for the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families to report this child endangerment.

http://dcf.wi.gov/

People who endanger the safety of children or practice mental health without proper licensing need to face the law.

NEXT WEEK:

I talk to Chip Coffey's Lawyer!

More GOOD/BAD and what the ^%&$ of The Dead Files!

Even more paranormal madness!

Ghost Box

By Ryan Harshbarger

"Nobody knows whether our personalities pass on to another existence or sphere, but if we can evolve an instrument so delicate to be manipulated by our personality as it survives in the next life such an instrument ought to record something..." Thomas Edison 1928

Ghost Box

Frank’s Box, Spirit Box, Ghost Box, Shack Hack or whatever you wish to call it was originally created by Frank Sumption back in 2002 and has become an addition to almost every paranormal team’s arsenal. When I first heard about this I was pretty much dumbfounded to say the least, “How does this thing work?” The concept is actually pretty simple; manipulate AM/FM handheld radios so that they continuously scan the linear bandwidth.  Seems pretty basic but my skepticism immediately kicked in the first time I was exposed to one back in 2004. I was hanging out with some friends and the topic of communicating with spirits got brought up. I have heard and analyzed thousands of EVP’S so that was nothing new to me at all. Then my friend said “Have you ever heard of the Frank’s Box?” I said I had but I’ve never participated in a session. So we plugged in this what looked like a boom box from the 80’s and the show started.

We all started asking questions, there were probably about roughly 500 asked to this boom box that was just going crazy. “Back and forth through radio stations for well over two hours I was subjected to this.” Out of the 500 questions asked there were maybe 3 actual responses that held any shred of validation, but was this coincidence or was our subconscious just making connections to satisfy our need for contact?  

I didn’t really pay too much attention to this device after that because honestly to me the concept made no sense, nor could I comprehend how scanning the AM/FM bandwidth continuously and catching random words from radio stations could be any scientific tool properly utilized during a thorough investigation. Then, I attended a convention where one of the guests was Christopher Moon and from what I was told he was the “Frank’s Box Expert” and he had the gift to properly use this device to make complete and accurate contact with those who have crossed over.

Several of my friends as well as me paid a whopping $175.00 to have this long haired front man from a heavy metal band slowly walk up to a table with a small device in his hands and then gracefully take a seat, pull his long blond hair back into a pony tail and lean in towards the microphone and say “Good evening.” “Just to let you all know that the spirits may or may not choose to communicate, it all depends on their moods.”  Everyone in the crowd began to burst into laughter (except for me) he then proceeded to turn some knobs on his modified Frank’s Box and a loud jolt of white noise took over the room. He then started asking for people in the audience to ask questions and the line began to form. “This whole thing reminded me of a John Edwards Crossing Over episode.”

The microphone that was supposed to amplify the “spirits voices” wasn’t really that great and was muffled so it was really hard to actually hear what was being said by the box because Mr. Moon would also speak into the microphone and repeat the supposed answers. So was the person that was asking the question getting an actual spiritual response? Or was Mr. Moon subconsciously manipulating these people and feeding on their emotions? My personal opinion on Mr. Moon, considering the fact that he charges for his services just like so many others who have tarnished this field,” is a charlatan and a con-man.” Anyone who makes monetary gain for assisting people that are honestly dealing with the death of a loved one and really do want to communicate with their loved ones and are obviously vulnerable when they seek assistance from these buffoons absolutely sickens me to the core. 

“Enough on this guy and back to the topic.” recently I was given a case from Kirby Robinson in my home state of Florida, this case was a supposed demonic case and the client had dealt with numerous paranormal teams that only had made matters worse. I happily accepted the case and immediately contacted the client and let her know that we would come and assist in any way that we could. I talked to Kirby many times prior to us arriving at the client's home and told him that I was going to be bringing a “Ghost Box”, I finally broke down and bought one because I was either going to “debunk it or endorse it”, either way  once and for all I wanted to put this thing to the test. Kirby was also skeptical on the “Ghost Box” which was perfect because that way we both could test our theories together and draw the proper conclusions on it once and for all. I think that I have drawn my own conclusion/theory, I can’t speak for Kirby but he was there and the responses were addressed directly towards him. So let’s break this down: “within the first 15 minutes of plugging in the Spirit Box, we were getting direct responses.”  

I was pretty sketchy at first about the responses because they were vague and again the question remained, "are we really making contact, or is the subconscious making us believe that the scrambled AM/FM signals that we are hearing are voices of the crossed over?"

The second couple of questions that were asked we got exact, to the point, direct responses. “My jaw almost dropped!” Like I said, I have not always been a big supporter of the “Ghost Box”, the voices that were coming through were cussing us out individually by name. The scariest part was the “Ghost Box” also was saying each person that was in the room by their name. “As the prayers began, things really got amped up. As Kirby was praying the voices coming through began to call him a number of choice words and these dark forces defiantly expressed their hatred towards anything that was Holy. “I was at a loss for words to say the least.”

Since this case I have used the “Ghost Box” four more times and two out of the four times I have gotten direct answers to the questions. Which makes me wonder? “Can only certain spirits come through on this device?” I know that many teams utilize the “Ghost Box” routinely and have had great success with it; however there are some teams that have become completely dependent on the Ghost Box, which leads us to another question “ is the Ghost Box the new age Ouija Board?” Could there be possible repercussions from using this device as there are with the use of Ouija Boards? Since they are both considered methods of communication with spirits could the Ghost Box become a portal for malevolent entities and even demonic forces to enter into our realm? 

One suggestion that I have for all paranormal teams that use the “Ghost Box” or any other device used to directly communicate with spirits is to 1. “Educate yourself about how dark forces will try and trick you.” 2. Always say a protective prayer when using any device of communication before and after the session. I personally always say the “Saint Michael Prayer” and last but not least always remember:

“The greatest trick the devil ever did was convincing the world that he doesn’t exist.”

As technology evolves over the next few years I’m sure that there will be even more advanced methods of communication created and with the rise of interest in the field of paranormal research more and more teams will find themselves in situations and face to face with forces that they do not understand and have no business involving themselves in. I being a paranormal investigator and a man of GOD always use my beliefs as a method of protection and whenever there is a “Ghost Box” involved in any investigation that I am a part of, “I make sure to say prayers of protection for myself and my team.”

Issue 46 – Psychic Kids Mayhem Rules, How Honest is Chip Coffey? Can Chris Fleming Answer Tough Questions?

The Eye on the Paranormal, along with many others, brought to the attention to A&E legal department to possible presence of predators posting on their Facebook page. We're not only talking about sexual predators, that would be bad enough, but we're also talking about predators of a spiritual nature that passed themselves off as light workers. If you dug into their background you would find they practice the dark arts. Also, there were those profit predators, people who sought only the color green from those posting for help.

In addition, A&E was informed about a self-appointed monitor, Sandra Lynn Sparks. [Either she took this action on her own or by the request of para-celebs who made money off the page. We're trying to confirm which story is true]. She kept busy posting links on a daily basis to direct visitors to various sites to watch the show. She encouraged them to visit her own sites' message boards claiming they were safe places for parents and kids. But the purpose was to make Sandra lots of money, and get them to Chip Coffey's page to sign up for a phone reading and go to Chris Fleming's magazine site. All this was being done without A&E's approval or knowledge. Once they learned this and the fact that they about to be named in a lawsuit, they cleared the page of posts back to early 2010. No one can post such things any longer and that was what hoped to be the end of the story. But fake para-celebs and their back scratchers don't play fair nor do they know just when to shut up and go away.

Bishop Long Moved to His Church's Network

Join Bishop Long on Sundays from 8 to 10 pm on  http://www.usocc.org/USOCC/USOCC_Radio.html for his show Sacred Division. My segment is called SAY WHAT?  I talk about things within the paranormal community that has caught my eye and raised my dander.

Sandra Lynn Sparks Casting Spells

Since she no longer has the Psychic Kids page to monitor Sandra now has lots of free time on her hands. We've learned that she hasn't been spending it too wisely as she's been casting spells on people! Yes, she has decided that she must punish those who shut down the page and she has been very busy with her spell casting! [We hope someone tells her that GOD is the ruler over all things]. Her first attempts at spell casting backfired. We just hope this time the results aren't even worse for her.

Due to her increased free time she has kept those sockpuppet Facebook accounts. It seems that she posts under at least 4 names on the Psychic Kids page. After all, she claims to be a playwright so handling different writing styles shouldn't be hard.

We learned that she had to rewrite the hate speech-filled blog she posted about me. Open Salon forced her to remove it after they received a letter from our legal team. Of course she can't admit this as more lies are spread in her new blog.

"This is about a liar.

He not only deserves no name, He deserves no mention. If you have followed a link he or one of his friends gave you. you will not find him. You've been deceived.

People spend too much time believing too much written on the Internet.

Go find something decent to do."

Still full of lies but at least the hate speech is gone.

Is Chip Coffey a Man of His Word?

We sent the following e mail to Mr. Coffey

Are you a man of your word Mr. Coffey?

You have gone to great effort to publicly state that you are against any type of bullying. You have also been out spoken about your condemnation of hate speech, yet you have a person working for you [either paid or unpaid], who has taking part in both activates, yet we have heard nothing from you condemning their acts nor distancing yourself from that person.

As you know, Sandra Lynn Sparks is a moderator on your message board and self-appointed monitor on the Facebook page that A&E has for your former show Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal. There are numerous links directing people to both your website and Chris Fleming’s website, directing people to buy services, magazines etc., and links to sites that she herself owns. She gets paid for the level of traffic those sites have. If anyone posted any questions or comments that might bring the show or the para-celebs featured on the show into question, she would both publicly and privately attack that person.

Last week she posted a blog on Open Salon directed at myself, a blog full of hate speech and bullying words. You claim to be against such actions, yet we nor the public have yet to hear or read of your condemnation of her acts. Nor have you removed her from the position of managing your board.

So we at the Eye on the Paranormal have to wonder if you  are a man of your word? Or is your stance just PR for your career and forthcoming book? If so, the world needs to know this. But if you are a man of your word and speak out and take action, the world needs to know this as well.

After she was forced to change the blog we sent him the text of the original blog posting. We'll keep track of the days and weeks that pass concerning his response … or lack of one.

Chris Fleming on the Hot Seat

It seems that Mr. Fleming has been busy posting on the net that he is a "man of the truth" well we will find out if this is correct or not we have a list of questions for him he can respond and we will repost them unedited.

We know Chris checks this blog regularly so we'll be waiting!

1 Firstly the claim you made in reference to the screening process of children featured on “Psychic Kids”. While I realize Facebook comments, cannot always be construed as an official statement, you have however contended that you can prove that the one of kids picked up on details related to the location where a missing child was last seen and only the police had this information. You further stated that other kids on the show have demonstrably exhibited an ability to psychically acquire details describing locations prior to visiting them without any foreknowledge of the site or it’s history. Tell us how you feel that you can satisfactorily “prove this”?

2 Is it true that kids on the show where brought to murder sites to pick up impressions?

3 Tell us about the medical and psychological screening...were second or even third opinions by independent medical professionals ever sought before, after or during the filming of the episodes?

4 Are you aware that some of the symptoms of schizophrenia closely mirror claims of seeing and hearing ghosts?

5 What about the growing concern surrounding individuals that seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on fan sites and discussion forum and most notably; the Psychic Kids Facebook fan page spamming and inviting kids to closed Yahoo Groups and private “psychic schools” under the implied auspice of the show, Chip Coffey or even you?

6 What about the accusations that this show exploited emotionally distraught, overly imaginative, attention seeking or even mentally ill children and the associated speculation that children deemed particularly susceptible to malleability by suggestion?

7 Are you receptive to the possibility that the parents of these kids were overzealous when came to their kids getting on the show?

8 Do you feel that the appearance of these children will only further stigmatize them in a society that is still not willing to accept the reality of psychic abilities?

OPTIONAL:

1A: How do you feel about the K2 meter controversy associated with the Ghost Hunters/Manson murder mansion episode?

2A: I have noticed that you have a site that promotes the sale of ghost hunting equipment, how would you respond to the skeptics’ objections that this equipment never yielded any quantitative or qualitative evidence, it is marketed specifically targeting a misinformed or naive demographic.
