Chip Coffey (@chipcoffey): Hello, Chip here for the Twitterview with @AETelevision!

A&E (@aetelevision): Great - here's the first question: @chipcoffey Chip, have you ever encountered a spirit that you were actually scared of? (via @GaryLee8604)

Chip Coffey (@chipcoffey): @AETelevision Never been scared, really. More like startled. I always exercise caution when investigating.

A&E (@aetelevision): @chipcoffey are there any methods you take to help nurture/nourish your gifts i.e. yoga, meditation, special diets etc? via @MythicDocWho

Chip Coffey (@chipcoffey): @AETelevision I pray many times each day and I love to take long naps to renew/refresh my energy...

A&E (@aetelevision): @chipcoffey Chip, can you tell if someone else is psychic just by being near this person? (via @ElizabethJA56)

Chip Coffey (@chipcoffey): @AETelevision I believe everyone is psychic! Some people are able to tap into abilities better than others...

A&E (@aetelevision): Chip, when did you first know that you had amazing abilities? How did you discover it? (via @DeadDaydreamer & @paraklp)

Chip Coffey (@chipcoffey): @AETelevision I've been psychic for as long as I can remember. I started communicating with the dead in 2001.

Chip Coffey (@chipcoffey): @AETelevision As a child, I often knew when the phone was going to ring & who was calling. And I knew when people were going to visit.

A&E (@aetelevision): @chipcoffey Chip, has there been a case that you've refused to revisit? (via@BytchyButt)

Chip Coffey (@chipcoffey): @AETelevision Yes, but only because the clients refused to follow the plan we devised, together, to help them...

A&E (@aetelevision): @chipcoffey Chip have you ever assisted the police? (via @witchcitylee)

Chip Coffey (@chipcoffey): @AETelevision Yes, I have been to some pretty gruesome crime scenes! (((shudders)))

A&E (@aetelevision): @chipcoffey Do psychics ever get affected physically by strong spirits, impacting how they feel? (via@Littlewaysangel)

A&E (@aetelevision): @chipcoffey How do we get in touch with our own spirit guide? Do we all have one? (via @fastfall)
