PROFESSIONAL GHOST CHASERS TO STIR UP SPIRITS AT
TEMPLE UNIVERSITY AMBLER

What are those whispers that you hear during the darkest hours of the night? Is it the rustling of a branch against your window frame, or is it something altogether otherworldly?

What is that shadow that skirted past the corner of your eye? A trick of the light or a restless spirit seeking your attention?

If you ask Patti Starr and Chip Coffey, the answer may not only surprise you, it could frighten you.

Ever since personal experiences as children led them down the path to seek explanations to the paranormal, Starr and Coffey, both certified “Ghost Hunters,” have been gathering information and evidence of ghostly phenomena.

On Thursday, October 27, Starr and Coffey with bring their extensive personal experience with the paranormal to the Ambler campus for a special lecture — which will include a wide variety of sounds, images, and video from their research — at 7:30 p.m. in Bright Hall Lounge. The event is free and open to the public.

Coffey, an internationally known psychic and medium, and Starr, who brings the ‘scientific’ to the duo’s investigations, will also lead select members of the audience on a mini campus ghost hunt.

“Patti and I both grew up in the area of Wellford , South Carolina . It was an interesting connection that we discovered when we first met and started working together. We’ve both lived in haunted locations in the past, and in the present for that matter,” Coffey said. “Together we blend the scientific with the sensitive. Patti is well versed with her scientific equipment — cameras, video, electromagnetic readers, EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recorders. I grew up in the psychic arena; my great grandmother was a Native American medicine woman and my Dad’s mother read tea leaves.”

Coffey’s first official “ghost hunt” with Starr took place in 2002 “and it scared the bejeezus out of me, but I’ve been hooked ever since.” Of course, that wasn’t his first encounter with ghostly experiences.

“For a time, my family lived in a haunted house in New York ,” he said. “Lights would turn on and off, you’d hear footsteps, doors would open and close, but none of it was ever malicious.”

All of the occurrences, Coffey said, began when he and his mother started exploring the history of the family that had lived there previously and appeared to have more than a few secrets — a daughter who fell down the steps and broke her neck, a son who was murdered not far from the home, and an eldest son who simply…vanished.

“Perhaps we were learning information that the Murphy’s didn’t want anyone to know. Still, when we moved from New York to South Carolina , we asked them to come along,” Coffey said. “It was a huge turn-of-the century farmhouse. I remember on the first day wondering aloud if they had taken us up on the offer. That’s when a shirt levitated half way across the room — I’d take that as a yes.” 

For Starr, her first experience with a ghostly form came in early childhood; a shadow man that would appear in her bedroom.

“I was horrified. At the time I wasn’t thinking about a ghost; I was afraid it was someone actually in my room. I came to understand that the form wasn’t there to frighten me but was most likely there to protect me,” she said. “Later in life, when I had children of my own, I would see the image of a small child in the corner of my children’s bedroom. I would think they had invited a friend over, but when I would look again, it would be gone.”

As she got older, Starr said, while learning all she could about ghostly visitations, the image of spirits, or at least the awareness of them, “became clearer.”

“At historic locations, I’d be able to sense if a ghost was male or female, an adult or child, though they weren’t as clear as if it was someone I had been connected to on an emotional level, such as a relative. I’m nowhere near as sensitive as Chip; whereas I might see a shadow form he might see and hear the actual person,” she said. “I’ve never been afraid during any of my experiences. I may get startled, but then I get so excited and I’m grateful that they’ve allowed me see, hear, or feel them.”

Coffey hasn’t been quite as fortunate. During an investigation that Starr and Coffey have undertaken for a special to be aired on the Discovery Channel, Coffey descended into the basement of a location know as “the Bishop’s House” in Lexington , Kentucky , where several murders allegedly occurred — a location replete with shackles, specimen trays, claw foot bathtubs, and examination tables.

“The basement is infested with such negative, fearful, sad, energy, it’s overwhelming. One young lady on our investigation team felt she was being possessed when we were down there — a photo of her at that time shows her eye sockets completely white and glowing red,” said Coffey, who also has the ability to communicate with the dead and share messages from the other side. “I didn’t sleep for two days after being there.”

According to Starr, who offers courses in “Ghost Hunter Certification,” hauntings can take many forms. During an “intelligent haunting,” for example, the ghost reacts to outside stimuli, such as being called to, whereas during a “residual haunting” it is like watching a section of film looping over and over again — a memory burned into the surroundings.

“Poltergeist activity usually includes some form of physical manifestation, floating objects or items thrown across a room. The activity might center around a child,” she said. “Crisis hauntings might be a last goodbye — a child is killed in a car accident and appears at the foot of the bed of their father.”

A portal haunting, Starr said, may take any number of forms, as they are commonly “a doorway from one dimension to another” — often there is no telling what might make its way through.

“I don’t think that my house or Chip’s house are haunted. I believe that we are the haunted ones — as sensitives, we give off a different vibration, a different light that they follow seeking understanding,” she said. “One thing that I would like to do is change the fear that typically surrounds ghosts and spirits and replace it with understanding and compassion. We can learn so much in our life from their experiences in death.”

Coffey also hopes that audience members will leave “a little more open to the possibilities.”

“There are so many things that our human senses are not able to pick up unless we are open to them,” he said. “The paranormal isn’t supernatural. It is simply experiences that are beyond the norm.”
