EERIE Radio wants your questions for Chip
Chip Coffey
I received an email from Chris Scales over at EERIE Radio earlier this week in regards to their upcoming show with Chip Coffey.
Since GhostTheory has been a in the middle between the PRS/Chip and their accusers, it would be a good idea for our readers to ask Chip some of the questions that have been thrown out there in the discussions.
I have my own personal questions.
For instance, What proof can Chip Coffey give to us about his high ratio of successful readings he does when walking into a client’s home? In other words, is he willing to take the James Randi Challenge for a cool $1 million?
Another question would be about the PRS and their Demon related cases. It seems that they research a lot of “demon cases” and come to the conclusion that demons are the root cause of a lot of the hauntings. It seems like the PRS team uses demonic possession quite freely. My question is, Can he explain these high number of demonic infestations or possessions, when the Catholic Church has actually deemed a small handful of these types of cases unexplainable in its entire history?
Can’t wait for the show. Make sure you ask your questions through their fourms.
We plan to ask Chip (and he knows this) about some of the allegations related to the info he does or does not receive from the producers of Paranormal State when he appears on the show. We’ve started a thread on our website forum (available at www.spookylogistics.com) to solicit questions from our audience. If you have any questions you feel we should ask, please chime in.
I hope you catch the show!!
Regards
Chris ‘urkotic’ Scales

Javier, have you read the article on the Daily Grail website called “The Myth of the Million Dollar Challenge”? I know you stay pretty busy but if you get a chance you might want to check it out. Here’s a link:

Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Looks like a cool show.
i’d ask him if “chip” is his birth name, if not what his real name is and where he (supposedly) received a bachelors degree in psychology from.
i’d also love to hear his answer to javier’s question regarding his 100% on camera accuracy rate yet unwillingness or disinterest in the randi challenge or any challenges at all by the skeptical community.
plus, how DID they DRIVE to all of those shooting locations without any prior knowledge – not even an address??
i’d love to hear his reasoning behind leaving his travel industry career and starting his paid psychic career right after 9/11 – but that one is kind of a no brainer.
i’d ask him (without knowing a thing about me) to tell me all about my past and future. for free, publicly. maybe not me, whomever i were to put on the phone, internet or however he does his normally $250 per half hour divinations.
alas, i wouldn’t expect chip coffey to answer anyone’s questions with any actual honesty. after all, he charges grieving people and/or gullible wishful thinking sorts to supposedly talk to their dead relatives — not to mention propping up children like good little psychic puppets, making himself out to be the kindly gepetto who guides and nurtures them in their psychic endeavors.
after doing that for all of this time, spinning a tale on a podcast must be cake.
Bellaboo,
You should volunteer and be the voice for GhostTheory and ask those questions to Chip, live on the air.

BC,
Interesting. I’ll check it out tonight.
Thanks.

I emailed some questions to the website’s email address, I can’t wait to hear from Chip!
If he really does have the power to talk to the dead, how come he needs a television show?
How much does he make take home per episode?
What does he do with his spare time?
What is the breed, color and name of my first dog and what did he used to do with his nose. Can you ask my dead mother to give me that Chip? I’m waiting. Mom would know.
What kind of cigarettes my dead father used to smoke. He should know that at least.
What did my dead mother think that she was in a previous incarnation. She may have re-incarnated into that again. It was always her ideal.
Mark,
I’m also about to submit my questions via email.
Hopefully we get some answers and not a run around.
-Javier
I’d be glad to submit a question if I didn’t think he was a fraud.
I’d be glad to submit a question if I didn’t think he was a fraud.
my point exactly
you know what’s odd, i was actually thinking about posting some questions as a lark after seeing mark’s funny ones — but there doesn’t seem to be any mention of this questions request anyplace on that website.
do you have a direct link to this forum post, javier?
Here’s the thread in our forum where we’ve asked people to post their questions:

Heh well never mind, my effort to promote the show by emailing Javier, which led to this article and these comments, has I believe led directly to Mr. Coffey changing his mind about appearing on the show:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/note.php?note_id=158693061728
(where, judging by some of the comments, I’ve tarred the entire state of Indiana by soliciting questions?? sorry everyone)
Honestly it crossed my mind I should’ve commented here we’re not some sort of ‘attack’ show and this interview isn’t going to be a display of treating someone badly. I have to think we would’ve asked reasonable questions though; as stated in my email I was of the impression Mr. Coffey wanted to respond to some of the allegations about Paranormal State. I’ll note I do not do the actual interviewing on the show.
fwiw I thought the Randi question was an interesting one for a professional psychic, but I can’t guarantee it would’ve been asked. Oh and the logistics question – when do you learn where you’re going when on the Paranormal State show, or are you driven to the site with no clue where you’ll be – seemed like a good one to me also (an answer might’ve been, I know what town I am going to but that’s it, someone drives me to the site).
Anyway what am I doing acting like I can reasonably account for my actions and thinking? Minds are made up and apparently trying to touch the topics is playing with fire at this point.
Thanks for posting the article though Javier, and your intention to listen to the interview.
urkotic,
Is there anyway you can relink this or do a cut and paste. I don’t do facebook and it wants me to log in. I though it would be nice if the non-facebook readers here have a chance to read what was posted.
And I’m sorry to hear the big Chip can’t handle the heat. Unfortunately it only raises more doubts about the man’s abilities (or lack thereof). He actually would have had a chance to at least partially validate himself at least to part of the crowd out there that support him and the questionable shows he is a part of. But like Falstaff from Henry IV, he chose “the better part of valour” as he put it.
Gary
As he has apparently not made his note fully public, I don’t feel right about reposting it. My apologies for my timidity in the face of your eloquence.
But I would say it boils down to: he is not interested in having to defend himself or the TV shows he is on. I had a different impression about his interest in responding to criticism and regret that I misunderstood.
Oh – I also liked the questions about the prevalence of demons, since that is the #1 criticism of Paranormal State that I get from people in person, when they talk about the show. I do not know how the EERIE hosts might have framed such questions, had they chosen to ask them. Perhaps do you believe in demons and do you feel you’ve encountered them repeatedly (perhaps disproportionately) with the PRS crew, and if so what’s your take on why that’s happening. I dunno.
urkotic,
My apologies for my bluntness. I felt it best to exercise the old adage: If you don’t have anything nice to say….I was exercising it by not posting a question for Mr. Coffey. However, It didn’t occur to me at the time that he would be coming here to read comments.
All my best to you.
God you know what maybe Chip is psychic!!!!! Because he must have
forseen that him going on this radio show would end his career and so he turned tail and ran like hell!. And to add move proof he must be psychic becuase when he was in the travel industry he saw the future and realized that lying about vacations wouldnt bring him as much money as lying about peoples dead loved ones and such. HE TRULY IS THE CHOSEN ONE!!! He would make a great senator or even president. Hell he already knows how to dodge questions and any real interviews. He has mastered the art of manipulation of the emotinaly destitute. And he is absolutely obsessed with money and has probably never gotten laid. He would be perfect!
jbondo, no worries on my end; I knew he might come here to read things but figured he would recognize that the comments here or elsewhere are not the interview.
