The photo on the left is me. It was taken when I was 9 years old, just a few months before my parents and I moved into an extremely haunted house in Upstate New York. We certainly were not prepared for what happened in The Murphy House!

My name is Chip Coffey. I am a psychic, medium, spiritual counselor, paranormal investigator, speaker and, now, author. You may have seen me on TV shows, such as "Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal," "Paranormal State," "Celebrity Ghost Hunt," "Larry King Live," "Good Morning America" or "Nightline."

In my first book, "Growing Up Psychic," I share lots of stories about my own experiences as a psychic youngster growing up surrounded by the paranormal. I also provide no-nonsense, indispensable information for anyone who interacts with children who may be exhibiting psychic abilities or having paranormal experiences -- parents, educators, medical professionals, mental health clinicians, members of the clergy, paranormal investigators -- and adults who faced the challenges of growing up psychic.

As an added bonus, there are numerous updates about many of the children and families who appeared on the popular TV show, "Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal," that aired on both A&E and The Biography Channel for three seasons.
