On 10th December 2007, the show premiered for the first time. The Paranormal Research Society (PRS), which the show follows, was founded by Ryan Buell at the age of 19 while he was in college.
Paranormal State aired from 2007 to 2011 and has six seasons in total. Throughout all the seasons of the show, we can see Ryan and his friends traveling all over the country, investigating the paranormal. While its name reflects a lot about this show, we cannot say the same for its casts.
So, to know more about Paranormal State’s casts, stay with us.

The founder of the Paranormal Research Society is also the consulting producer of the show Paranormal State. Born on July 8, 1982, Ryan is curently37 years of age.

Besides acting, Buell is also an author; he completed writing his first paranormal novel at the age of 25. He helps in making other paranormal shows too. With the novel and his career in acting and as a producer, he has amassed an incredible $1.5 million in net worth. Buell owns a BMW car, which is accounted for in his net worth.
This 37-year-old millionaire is currently single. But, he was in a relationship with his co-cast from Paranormal State in the year 2016. Sergey Poberezhny and Ryan were in a same-sex relationship for quite some time, and Ryan has openly admitted to being bisexual.

Chip Coffey Net Worth
Born on August 21, 1954, Chip Coffey is currently 65 years of age. Chip was born and raised in Elmira, New York. There has been no mention, or any detail about his parents discussed on the internet. But, it is known that Coffey used to model as a 2-year-old baby, and from the age of 5, he started acting. He grew up in Elmira, New York, but the high school he attended has been kept a secret.
In contrast, we know the name of the college Chip graduated from. Chip Coffey graduated from Elmira College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Theatre. During his time in college, he was classmates with other famous actors like Theresa Valada, Merle Ginsberg, and Keith MacKechnie. He was studying under the reputed director Peg Denithrone.
With his career of acting starting from the tender age of five and authoring a book, Chip is bound to have a hefty net worth. He also worked as a spirit medium, psychic, and counselor. With all these titles under his belt, Chip Coffey has a net worth of $1 million. However, the details about his yearly income haven’t been revealed in any source in any format.
Chip has won a ‘Pigasus Award’ in 2009 from the James Randi Education Foundation “For the psychic who tricked the most people with the least effort.” Which is basically a slap from the skeptics about his alleged “God-given talent.”
He has been the artistic director of many theatres, mainly childrens theatre. There has been no information suggesting Chip being in a relation; hence we assume he is single. Also, Chip is gay, by choice, but there is no information about him having any gay relations in the past.

Past Controversies
While the show had a decent life, the controversy regarding the show is what we usually get for paranormal shows. Up to what extent is the show scripted and faked for the camera? But we are unable to know about it since we cannot access those unedited files.
But the controversies which started after the show ended has piqued some ears. Ryan abusing his then-boyfriend Sergey was a pretty big deal. While both of them support LGBT society, Ryan wasn’t a good boyfriend and respectful to Sergey, according to Sergey.

Another possible controversy also includes Ryan as he has been jailed twice already for different causes. But he got out on bail.

There has been no one to leave the show during its life except for a few, here and there. Like Sergey, who left the show in 2010 with unexplained reasons. He used to work as a Tech specialist for the show; perhaps they got a new tech specialist.
Another would be Josh Light, who left the show after appearing in 32 episodes of the show. His reason for leaving the show hasn’t been explained. And Lorraine left the show in the same year as Josh, in 2008, following her health complication.
Paranormal State Renewed or Canceled?
