		<description>As the only one who took the time to respond to this negative blog post, I&#039;d like to point out that not every child who claims to have experiences is mentally disturbed or requires a shrink. There are children - or people for that matter - who are connected to something most of us don&#039;t understand. A lack of belife or understanding doesn&#039;t justify bashing children who may have a special gift that a lot of us may lack. Does this mean that every child who claims to have a &#039;boogie man&#039; under the bed is psychic? No, of course not, but that doesn&#039;t mean we should claim ignorance either. A good portion of law enforcement agencies use psychics to great effect, too. Some have actually solved cases. Google it. We might be in the 21st century, but that doesn&#039;t mean a lower tolerance of the unknown should be enbraced. To the contrary, it should be the opposite.</description>

		<description>Skepticism based on FACTS has it&#039;s place in the world. Skeptomorons making assertions based on their personal biases are as big of a joke as the one&#039;s they ridicule! If you have proof spirits don&#039;t exist then show us! If not, you should keep your biases to yourself! I&#039;ve watched many of these shows and as a retired psychologist I find Chip and Edy to be honestly concerned about the welfare of the kids on the show. Botton line, the kids and their parents always seem to be more confident and happy after their interactions with Chip and Edy. In the past, scientists and skeptics refused to believe that people have auras. Kirlian photography proved that people do have &quot;energy fields&quot; and now auras are accepted as fact. If you have a problem with the show, fine. But don&#039;t try to tell those who &quot;know better&quot; by their own rational experience of reality something is untrue when you don&#039;t really have a clue. Shakespeare said,&quot;There&#039;s more to this world than meets the eye&quot;. I say there is more to this world than our scientific instruments can detect. Peace</description>

		<description>You know, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But see the thing is i actually agree with some of the other replies. SKEPTICS ARE JUST AFRAID OF THE REAL WORLD. You know, i actually was born with the ability myself, and I&#039;m faced with it every day. And it really hurts that some people just DON&#039;T UNDERSTAND! It&#039;s scary! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT&#039;S LIKE 2 SEE THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON&#039;T? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT&#039;S LIKE TO HEAR WHISPERS AND SCREAMS AND PEOPLE CALLING YOU BY NAME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? OR WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO SEE A FIGURE STANDING NEXT TO YOUR BED STARING AT YOU???? NO. YOU DON&#039;T. SO DON&#039;T COME HERE RAMBLING ON WITH THIS LITTLE PAGE ABOUT &quot;IDIOTIC PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS BULLSHIT AND ARE JUST UPSET ABOUT OTHER THINGS SO THEY USE GHOSTS&quot; WHEN YOU DON&#039;T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH!!!!! it really scares me how some people can be such assholes. Thank You.</description>

		<description>I have a problem here with the way a majority of you put this stuff down and call the people who believe in it fools, idiots and stupid.  These children, whether we as adults believe it or not, believe that this is their problem.  There are children as young as 8 years old committing suicide because they have no where to turn to for help.  Their parents tell them they are imagining it, their peers are calling them freaks and weirdos....whether we as adults believe in this or not, these children do and if we cannot be here to help the children, then where is their future going to lead?</description>

		<description>Thanks for your balanced comment. I think skepticism is a requirement when looking into these things, especially since so many, throughout history &amp; in present times , have used blind belief, superstition &amp; fear to manipulate people and enrich themselves with power &amp; money. That said, i also have coined my own word for the other side: &quot;scientific superstition&quot;- the belief that because science says it can&#039;t be real, it can&#039;t be real. We have blind belief in superstition AND blind belief in science! Thats my take anyhow.
These things - far as i know- cannot be tested in a lab. As someone who came to have paranormal experiences later in life ( after being taught to deny &amp; surpress experiences i had as a child) i totally understand how ridiculous the claims of these children may seem.All i can say is, until you have experienced these things yourself, you really can&#039;t  know. And i believe that denying these children their experiences- if they are genuine according to each individual case- is a form of child abuse.I&#039;m glad your brother had the courage to come out about his experiences &amp; look for answers. I wish him peace.</description>

		<description>This isn&#039;t really about the TV show but there was a time when I didn&#039;t believe in ghosts.  They were just stories that scared the hell out of me. Then an experience happened a year and a half ago that left me rethinking about everything.  I got into some stuff I probably shouldn&#039;t of and as time went on for some strange reason I became afraid of going in my room and I was having very realistic nightmares everynight. Finally I had one so bad that I woke up crying from it and I went to my parents at 3:00am in the morning only my mom panicked and immediatly left my room because she felt negativity energy coming from it (which at the time I didn&#039;t understand) But I had ended up with a room full of bad spirits, demons, or whatever those creepy things were. I had to have my room blessed and later that night my mom then confessed to being able to feel negativity energy (which i found unbelieving) and my parents both told me about their own creepy ghost, spirit, demon experiences even though growing up they have been telling me ghosts don&#039;t exist. (Guess it would be so I would simply sleep at night and wouldn&#039;t bug them anymore in waking them up) I keep my mind open now and can&#039;t believe I&#039;ve been this oblvious to everything.  The truth is, ghosts and spirits really do exist, as hard as that seems to believe. I&#039;ve felt them and I think I&#039;ve even seen one.  Not to mention, the stories have to come from somewhere.</description>

		<description>This is not the first time Chip Coffey has been called on his BS, several have posted at ripoff &quot;report&quot; about his bully tactics and now he is threatening Ron Tebo at scifake for calling him out about the Psychic kids show again he is now supporting (Chip Coffey is)a child who supposed see&#039;s dead people just like the movie &quot;The sixth sense&quot;
Its time Chip see&#039;s the inside of a courtroom and proves he is what he claims and stop exploiting children for good.</description>
