Chip Coffey is a self proclaimed psychic originally from Elmira, NY, now living in Atlanta, GA. He has worked on numerous television shows and specials, as well as participated in shows playing someone other than himself. Unlike, some of our other featured psychics in this series of articles, Coffeys work has been put under the microscope in big ways.
Skepticism From The Beginning:
In 2009, Coffey was awarded the James Randi Education Foundations Pigasus Award for quote, "the psychic who tricked the most people with the least effort." Reportedly, Coffey also "stormed out" of the FFXN-FM morning show studio after the host brought up his skepticism. Later, in 2014, the Bay Area Skeptics showed up to a group seance hosted by Coffey and planted falsified stories of fictitious dead relatives to Coffeys staff. As the evening went on, Coffey claimed to be perfectly communicating with said fake family members, according to sting organizer Susan Gerbic.
Television Shows:
Coffey has participated in a variety of shows, "documentaries", and scripted movies. Below you'll find a short list of his most well known shows and appearances.
Paranormal State (2007-2011)
Psychic Kids (2008- )
Kindred Spirits (2016-2017)
Exorcism: LIVE! (2015)
Prices:
Coffey has been criticized not only for his shady reading methods and questionable behavior and choices, but for his prices as well. Coffey offers 3 types of readings, as listed below:
Psychic Reading (or personal consultation) $200 / 20-30 min
Spirit Contact $500 / 30-45 min
Combination Reading $650 / aprox. 45 min
ASAP Readings:
General $400 / 20-30 min
Mediumship $700
Combination $850
The prices are not only outrageous but they are that of a scammer. By no means, does anyone need to charge people that much or make this their sole means of income, as Coffey has used as an excuse for his sky high prices. Because he has "bills to pay." Well, my answer to him, is, so do your poor clients that are seeking help.
My Own Experience With Chip Coffey:
The series of following photos will show a disturbing trend in how he treats anyone who dares to question him even a little. I am not the only one to receive this unacceptable and suspicious treatment from Coffey.
