I’m back! The FAQ for Season Three, Episode One was such a hit, I’ve decided to make this a regular thing so welcome to Season Three Episode One FAQ. It’s a great chance to answer questions for some eagle eyed viewers out there and let’s face it – you just can’t fit every bit of a four day investigation into a 44 minute episode. So – here we go!
What about Brady’s room?
Let me start by saying, that Brady really drove us this investigation. When he talked to us in his room, and he was clearly so distraught, we held that with us as our motivation to get answers for this family. Clearly, Sharon is the one who asked us for help, but Brady being comfortable was a huge deal to us. I just wanted to scoop him up in a hug on so many occasions while we were there, but he was definitely a little wary of us. But by the end, I think I had properly wooed him with peanut butter cups that I was able to get a high five.
We investigated Brady’s room right off the bat and uncovered a “no” EVP. But other than that, we really didn’t have any activity in there. We actually spent a good amount of time with him in the reveal explaining that his room was totally safe and that we had nothing go on in there. We really do think his loved ones who had passed away were reaching out to him, but that him asking them to stop was enough for them to do just that.
How can you undo 30 years of negativity in one night?
The time we spent in the extra room with Sharon was clearly a lot longer than what was shown. When she bought that house, her dream for that room was actually to take in a couple of foster children – and she still wants to do that. I explained to her that those kids are out there right now. That the only thing stopping them from entering her life and getting the ultimate help they need was that she was hanging on to this idea that there was negativity in that space. We did a visualization technique where she saw the room bright and cheery, with laughing children and filled with love. She really latched on to that idea – because the idea that those children are already out there needing help is a powerful one. She’s so selfless – once she realized that this power was affecting someone other than her she went full force against giving that space anymore negative thoughts. We told her that every time she felt that creeping in, to instantly go back to the vision of kids in that room, being helped and how much good will come from that one little space. It’s working – she is pretty active on my Facebook and responds to fan questions on there. She’s joined many of our families online who are our fiercest defenders when people attack us social media, ha!
Is Chip for real?
Oh yes, my friends. Chip is very for real. When we have him come into a case, we bring him in blind. Meaning, we fly him in and we don’t see him before the case. He stays at a hotel outside of what ever town we’re investigating. A crew member picks him up and brings him to the location, which he has zero prior knowledge of. Before he enters the home, we take down everything identifying that we can – photos, mementos, diplomas, you name it.
It’s hard for us to keep a poker face, as probably evidenced in this episode. Because we can see when he is spot on and we have to pretend it’s no big deal. I will say, it’s also sometimes hard as a friend because he’ll say, “Hey Amy, I’m getting a vibe from you – want me to tell you?” I usually cave and say yes and he’s almost always right.

I was also wondering about Chip’s credentials. Don’t get me wrong, I feel he’s a great guy, but it seems he asks a lot of ferreting questions while he’s doing his impressions of a space. This may be exaggerated by the necessary editing for the show, but it left me wondering.
