Ep 6. Make The Spirits Stay

As a parent, it can be difficult to understand a child's worries if they seemingly have no reason to be valid. However, when a child claims to be seeing and communicating with spirits, it can be even harder to navigate. Enter Psychic Kids, a show that follows psychic medium, Chip Coffey, as he mentors and guides children who have paranormal abilities.

In season 1 episode 6, titled "Make The Spirits Stay," Chip meets with young psychic medium, Taylor. Taylor has been seeing ghosts and communicating with them since she was four years old. According to her mother, Taylor has always been sensitive and intuitive, but as she's grown older, her abilities have become more intense and frequent.

Chip meets with Taylor and her mother to get a better understanding of how Taylor's psychic abilities have been impacting her life. Taylor explains that she is often visited by spirits, some of whom scare her or make her feel uneasy. Despite her fear, Taylor wants to help the spirits move on, so they stop appearing to her.

Chip takes Taylor to meet with his frequent collaborator, parapsychologist Dr. John DeSalvo, to conduct an experiment in EVP, which stands for electronic voice phenomenon. The experiment involves recording audio in an empty room, where a voice that is not audible at the time can sometimes be heard on the playback.

While conducting the experiment, Chip and Taylor receive what they believe to be a message from a spirit. The message is unclear, but Chip and Taylor feel that it is significant and personal. Chip then has Taylor practice her medium abilities by communicating with the spirits in the room herself.

In addition to helping Taylor understand and hone her abilities, Chip also meets with another young psychic, 13-year-old Jake. Jake's family runs a haunted hotel, and Jake claims to have seen and communicated with multiple spirits on the property. Chip brings Taylor to meet Jake, and the two work together to investigate the hotel's ghostly activity.

As the episode progresses, Chip helps Taylor and Jake confront their fears and develop their skills. He explains that being a medium is not just about seeing spirits, but about using that gift to help people. In the end, Chip and the children work together to try and make the spirits stay, for a positive reason.

Overall, "Make The Spirits Stay" is a touching episode that showcases the struggles and strengths of young psychics. Through Chip's guidance, Taylor and Jake are able to find a sense of empowerment and direction with their abilities. The episode delves into the science behind paranormal activity and highlights the importance of using psychic gifts for good. Psychic Kids blends supernatural intrigue with a poignant message about compassion and using one's abilities for the betterment of others.
