GHOST HUNTING WITH CHRIS CHAN
</pre>
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What's up guys, we're here at the DeJarnette sanatorium. Uh- I'm here with Christine Weston Chandler.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''holding his hand up''] Yo. Yo!
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: AKA Chris Chan, and we're gonna be exploring this place searching for ghosts.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [[Hello, Juffalo|Ruffalo]]! (?)
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It's gonna be ''pretty epic'' if I do say so myself.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''laugh'']
[''jump cut to a chain-link fence'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you think you can fit through here, Christine?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I think I can manage.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Alright.
[''Copitz's backpack gets caught on the fence'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>:  Whup-up-up-up-up, you're caught. [''Chris helps unhook Copitz's backpack from the fence''] There you go.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Thank you.
[''jump cut to Chris grunting and struggling to make it through the broken fence gate'']
[''jump cut again to Chris entering the front of the building through a large broken window. The scrape of broken glass on the floor can be heard as Chris steps through'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Nice job.
[''Jump cut to Chris and Copitz wielding flashlights inside the building's dark interior'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So there's a bunch of different levels to this building.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''in a strange voice''] I see dead people. I think the ghosts are comin' after me. [''laugh'']
[''camera pans to the wall Chris is illuminating, showing graffiti that says "Fuck you!"'']
[''jump cut to a very short time later; Chris and Copitz are walking down a hall'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Christian, come here.
[''jump cut to Chris displaying his wrists'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I got quartz- uh, lightning quartz on my wrist.
[''the camera zooms in; the video becomes fuzzy before focusing the close-up on Chris's gloved hands'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: It might take a- more than one try, but I'm able to do it on the first try often times, [''lifts his arms up, his forearms crossed at the wrists''] but I'm gonna make it grind in here. [''pulls his wrists against each other, making a loud click.''] Ah.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Should I stand back?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''trying again, another click is made''] ahh, sometimes it [''unintelligible'']. [''click''] Ahh, I can do this, now I can do it [''click'']
[''pan to Copitz'']


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What are you trying to do?
'''Christian Opitz''',<ref>https://twitter.com/Copitz3/status/1218255646602211331 ([https://archive.fo/qVWAk archive])</ref> known by the username '''Copitz''' (born 17 January 2001),<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220402160511/https://twitter.com/copitz3</ref> is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on [[Twitch]] who lives in [[Charlottesville]]. Starting in [[May 2018]], he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas. Copitz would also play a role in developing ''[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'' docuseries, organizing a meet-up between TheGamerFromMars and Chris at [[14 Branchland Court|his home]].


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Tryin' to make it light. I know I'm able to do it.
==Initial Visit==
Copitz described himself as a big fan of Chris, and obsessively watched [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History]]. Upon realizing that he lived just 20 minutes away from him, he drew a batch of fanart and went with his friend Eric to Chris's house in [[May 2018]]. They rang the doorbell, gave the fanart, and took a picture with him. Chris gave both of them a kiss on the cheek, and then made a tweet about the interaction. Copitz also mentioned the possibility of them making a video together.

{{quotebox|Today two very handsome Young Men came to my house to Hand Deliver some Fan Art!


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: THERE it is!
I humbly accepted their Gifts, gave them Great Big Kisses (on the CHEEK) and sent them on their way!


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Aw nice, nice.
I might even do a Video with them Sometime Soon! 🌈🌈<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20191108230701/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/997957259182227458</ref>}}


[''cut to a hallway with bright light at the end of it'']
After this interaction, Copitz signed up to [[Kiwi Farms]] and made a thread on the forum, not knowing that the forum largely has a negative opinion of Chris.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/</ref>


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''observing artwork of hot air balloons on the wall''] Well, that's a nice picture, with all the balloons there. [''reading graffiti on top of it''] My balloooon. I like this picture.
{{quoteboxbrown|Chris Chan lives only 20 minutes away from me and I am a big fan, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to meet THE CWC. I drew some fan-art and drove to Chris's house with my friend, rang the doorbell, and was greeted by a friendly and familiar face. Chris took the art and let me take a picture of us, gave us a big kiss on the cheek and we we left. It was a very interesting experience to meet somebody so iconic.


[''jump cut to Chris'']
[[File:CWC with Copitz 1.jpg|200px]]}}


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So this is- uh- this is- uh, DeJarnette sanatorium.
Kiwi Farms started insulting him for many reasons, including his appearance. Copitz decided to clarify his intentions.


[''jump cut to Copitz, his face illuminated by his flashlight'']
{{quoteboxbrown|Barb showed up to the door while we were talking to Chris, but we did not speak to her.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/post-3373082</ref>}}
{{quoteboxbrown|Just to clear things up, I didn't have any intentions other than saying hi and asking if Chris wanted to make a video with me just for fun. Nothing else. I apologize that I did not make my intentions clear in the first place.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/page-3#post-3373110</ref>}}


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It's where- uh, Joseph DeJarnette- um, did his work. He's- uh, known for being a pretty famous eugenics doctor, and he's known to still roam the halls. As a ghost, obviously.

==Interview==
[[File:CWC with Copitz 2.jpg|thumb|200px|Chris with Copitz on the day of the interview]]
{{main|A Chat with Christine Weston Chandler/Chris Chan}}


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Closed down waaay long ago- his name was Joseph Dejarnette.
Copitz started talking about his planned video in his KF thread.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Joseph. [[Random-access humor|Hello, Joe, what do you know?]]
{{quoteboxbrown|The video I am hoping to make will just be us hanging out, going to McDonalds, and/or playing some video games - just something for fun, not making fun of Chris in any way.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/post-3373216</ref>}}
{{quoteboxbrown|I definitely see why you say that. I appreciate you trying to be reasonable, but I am not planning on going any farther than us making a video together, and there's a small chance we would make more in the future if Chris would want to. But I have no intentions to do any livestreaming together or anything of the sort. Yes, I may see a marginal increase of views on my YouTube channel, but that is only somewhat of a side-benefit. Mostly I just thought it would be an iconic experience to meet and make a video with such a popular personality online, and I felt like it would be fun. Bragging here on kiwifarms was just the first thing I thought of when I got home, as I have seen this website before in relation with Chris, but I realize now that this was not the place to be posting, even though I probably would have ended up being posted on here by a third party anyway.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/page-7#post-3373699</ref>}}


[''jump cut'']
On 26 [[May 2018]], Copitz went with Lee and a group of other friends to interview Chris. Copitz posted it on [[Kiwi Farms]], where it was largely criticized for the lack of interesting questions asked, however this did not bother him. The video is most notable for firmly establishing the friendship between Copitz and Chris.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you believe in ghosts?
==Ghost Hunting==
{{Main|Ghost Hunting with Chris Chan}}


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, I've met ghosts- so, yes.
During [[February 2019]], almost an year after their last interaction, Copitz, Lee, and a third friend all visited Chris to ghost hunt at the DeJarnette Center for Human Development in Staunton, Virginia. Not much actual ghost hunting happens in the video, and the four mostly just walk around and talk about ghosts and other topics. Copitz later complimented Chris on his empathy for the victims of Joseph DeJarnette, both on and off camera.

==The Chris Chan Conspiracy==
{{Main|The Chris Chan Conspiracy}}


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It's a nice view. Alright, the stairs are over this way.
During [[December 2019]], Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber TheGamerFromMars, who wanted to interview Chris for his documentary series '[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'. Copitz accepted, and contacted Chris to plan the interview with him. Eventually, GFM drove to [[14 Branchland Court]], and met up with Chris and Copitz. They walk with Chris in his backyard, play games with him in his room, walk around the neighborhood, go to a restaurant, before ending the video by chatting to Chris on his gazebo. Copitz later released a deleted scene on his YouTube channel.

==Other Interactions==

<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: The next floor.
Copitz is known to have invited Chris to his [[Discord]] server, however he never chatted.  


[''jump cut to Chris and Copitz looking at graffiti that reads "HeLP! Im TRA- pped on the ToP flooR"'']
On 3 [[May 2019]], Copitz accidentally ran into Chris at the downtown mall, who asked him for a ride. Copitz agreed to give Chris a ride, and also took a picture with him.<ref>[[:File:Copitz's Server - Copitz chats.png]]</ref>


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What does that say?
On 25 [[May 2019]], Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber Nick Robinson, who wanted to arrange an interview with Chris about the character Pappy Van Poodle from Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. Copitz agreed with this, and set up a video call with Chris and Nick, which was [[Pappy Van Poodle Interview|posted online]].


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''attempting to read the graffiti''] I'm trap-red on the top floor.
In [[February 2020]], Copitz's friend [[Xleepy]] reached out to him in order to arrange a meeting with Chris, which would be recorded and added to Xleepy's channel trailer. Copitz contacted Chris, and he made the video with Xleepy on 29 February. Copitz is seen sitting next to Chris while he showcases his psychic powers.  


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I'm-
On 25 [[December 2022]], Copitz left a comment on [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History]] Episode 70,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw9OtvE0r6Q&t=781s&ab_channel=GenoSamuel2.1</ref> which featured his ghost hunting footage.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh, "I'm ''trapped'' on the top floor".
{{quoteboxbrown|holy shit hahaha this is awesome. ngl it's so weird but cool to see myself in the Geno documentary after obsessively watching that very same documentary for hours upon hours prior to ever meeting Chris.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: This isn't the top floor!
Thank you Geno for sharing my video with people! And I'm glad you found some use of it


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Sorry, I di-
Just a correction, February was when we filmed the Dejarnette video, about a month prior to uploading it, as I was running into issues with the PC I was using to edit


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: How'd they get here?
I want to note how interesting I find what I interpret as - despite all of the things Chris has done which have hurt people - as a huge amount of empathy exhibited by Chris when it comes to the victims of Dejarnette. And the empathy they had for me during our video, with how kind they were. I will also say that from what I remember of our conversations 1-on-1 off camera, Chris was clearly far more interested in talking about me than about themself and trying to help me figure out issues in my life through what they believed to be their powers. Chris obviously has a very different view of the world from us all and it may help people wishing to understand them better to realize that despite the hurt a person may have caused in others, the reason behind their hurtful actions often comes from a desire to help both that person and themselves, yet the decision to do so can be warped by the only way they know how to understand things and a maladaptive level of empathy for themselves.


[''jump cut to more graffiti'']
This is why I truly hope Chris is finding happiness in the obviously inherently unhappy reality of prison through living within their own reality. And maybe some people can find empathy for Chris if they can see the empathy Chris has themselves, no matter how maladaptive.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''reading the graffiti''] "No [[Barack Obama|Obama]]!"
Thanks again Geno! Hope you had a merry Christmas!}}
 
[''quick jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What do you think about our current administration?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ahhhh... [[Pmurt|Trump]] sucks. That's enough said right there.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Think so?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''slightly distorted by reverberation due to his volume''] We can replace him with anybody, but I know we'll replace with Lisa Simpson 2000(?) after the [[Dimensional Merge|dimension merge]].
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, by- Lisa Simpson will be the next president?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yep.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, okay.
 
[''quick jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: You think everything in cartoons will come true?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''sigh''] It's all- everything that's already been... presented on media has already comes (sic) true. In the sense over there, in our sister dimension, [[Dimensions#C-197|C-197]]
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Ohhh, okay.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: But as for future determinations, that's still to be determined.
 
[''jump cut to [[Nazis|swastika]] graffiti on the ground'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Check that out.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''on top of Copitz''] You know, the swastika used to mean good luck.
 
[''jump cut to a dark room'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Alright, here it says [''reading graffiti''] "Joseph, come out"
 
[''quick jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I don't really want him to come out, to be honest, because he's dead and ghostsnn' are a little scary.
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Not the geese, man.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ahhh, the only- you're only scareda' ghosts because you don't have much knowledge about them.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, my mistake.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I think I can hear something.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Uhh, I'm gonna go this way [''laugh'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, I feel something.
 
[''jump cut to stairs'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Alright, let's go down, let's go down.
 
[''jump cut to Chris and Copitz walking down the stairs'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: At least I got good cell reception in here, I'll give you that.
 
[''jump cut to graffiti that reads "Pots 4 sale'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''unintelligible, talked over by Copitz'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''laughing''] Pots for sale? Is there- is there a pot dealer in here?
 
[''jump cut, rumbling can be heard'']
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Got some people.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Hello? Hello? Who's there? Hello?
 
[''jump cut, no more rumbling'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: We're friendly!
 
[''camera man laughs'']
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Yeah. We're not ghosts!
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Can you hear us?
 
[''quick jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''quietly''] Ah, whatever, I don't think we're ghosts(?)
 
[''camera man laughs'']
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Don't worry guys, I think [[Magi-Chan]] Sonichu has us protected.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''on top of Chris''] I can still hear them.
 
[''jump cut to Copitz's camera pointed at a small unoccupied room with a boarded up window which has a hole in it'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Follow my lead. We're calm, we're cool.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Let's see- [''walking into the room''] let's check out this little peephole.
 
[''jump cut to a close up of the peephole'']
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Maybe we can kick it open.
 
[''quick jump cut to the camera focused on the external landscape'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I don't wanna do that. It's clearly professionally boarded.
 
[''jump cut to junk'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Lookit this.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: It's a mess alright.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''ghost sounds''] Ooooooohhhh
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''laugh'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Don't worry, we mean ya no harm, spirits.
 
[''quick jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: As long as we don't bodder dem, dey won't bodder us.
 
[''jump cut to a small room with one large, tall window'']
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Well, if all goes to [''censored''] sh-t, we can climb outta here.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah...
 
[''jump cut to the dark halls of the sanatorium once more'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: We mean no disrespect or dishonor-
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''on top of Chris, agreeing''] Absolutely not.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: We're juuust chronicling.
 
[''Chris's phone rings, spooking the other ghost hunters'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: That's my mother. [''to Barb''] Heyo.
 
<font color="#04B45F">'''Barb'''</font>: Hello! Okay, bye.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Bye-bye. [''to the other ghost hunters''] It's okay, that was just my mother calling me.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''on top of Chris, most likely referring to when he was supposed to return home or contact her''] Definitely before six.
 
[''unintelligible whispering'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Y'all's mothers were concerned about yours as well. Y'all when you were... e- I mean no offense, thank you.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: You know what's weird? I kinda got a similar- this reminds me of after that [[Destruction Of Chris's House|housefire]] in [[2014]] at ho- at my home
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, yeah-
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Just ennering and exiting all the time, so- it's like, I kinda entered familiar territory with the way everything is around here.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: For sure, I remember that.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, there's some nudity on this wall.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh. [''illuminates the graffiti on the wall, which manages to somehow be lower quality than [[ShecameforCWC.JPG]]''] [''laughs''] Jeez.
 
[''jumpcut to a well-lit room'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''singing terribly''] ''Have some fun haunting around those spooky trails.''

[''jumpcut to just outside the sanatorium'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Thank you all for your hospitality, our phantasms of the spook. May you all rest in peace. Continue to rest in peace.
 
[''quick jump cut to Copitz'']
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: I wonder who those people were?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Huh.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, I dunno, we might'a scared them off 'cause they didn't say anything to us.
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: They thought we were ghosts. [''unintelligible'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: That's the difference between knowing and not knowing.
 
[''piano music begins playing'']
 
<pre>
That's the difference between knowing... and not knowing -CWC 2019
</pre>
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: If you don't know who was there, does it confirm whether somebody was there or not? You hear footsteps, but was there actually people? Or was it the spirits?
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It coulda' been the spirits, man.
 
[''quick jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: All is not known until all is learned, so seek your knowledge and learn well; keep a cool, calm head.
 
[''jump cut to Lee taking a selfie with Chris; piano music stops'']

<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I know you said [[Bundychu|Ted Bundy]] is going to be coming back in the merge as well...?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uhh- oh, in his Sonichu form, eventually. [''quick jump cut''] And since he... reincarnated, he definitely made sure he amended his ways. [''quick jump cut''] I assure you that he's a good guy.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Okay.
 
[''jump cut to Chris and Copitz walking down a trail side-by-side'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So- I mean, Christine, you can see- you can see why some people might think that [''quick jump''] the whole CWCville stuff- that, like, it might just be... part of something that you drew, and it might just be in your imagination?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ohhh yeah, no, [''quick jumpcut''] we create something and it ends up there, it's not imagination, you ''literally'' have psychic connections and links to right over there.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeeeah...

Copitz
Information
Name Copitz
Date of birth (2001-01-17) January 17, 2001 (age 23)
Gender Male
Race White
Nationality American

Christian Opitz,[1] known by the username Copitz (born 17 January 2001),[2] is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on Twitch who lives in Charlottesville. Starting in May 2018, he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas. Copitz would also play a role in developing The Chris Chan Conspiracy docuseries, organizing a meet-up between TheGamerFromMars and Chris at his home.

Initial Visit

Copitz described himself as a big fan of Chris, and obsessively watched Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History. Upon realizing that he lived just 20 minutes away from him, he drew a batch of fanart and went with his friend Eric to Chris's house in May 2018. They rang the doorbell, gave the fanart, and took a picture with him. Chris gave both of them a kiss on the cheek, and then made a tweet about the interaction. Copitz also mentioned the possibility of them making a video together.

Today two very handsome Young Men came to my house to Hand Deliver some Fan Art!

I humbly accepted their Gifts, gave them Great Big Kisses (on the CHEEK) and sent them on their way!

I might even do a Video with them Sometime Soon! 🌈🌈[3]

After this interaction, Copitz signed up to Kiwi Farms and made a thread on the forum, not knowing that the forum largely has a negative opinion of Chris.[4]

Chris Chan lives only 20 minutes away from me and I am a big fan, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to meet THE CWC. I drew some fan-art and drove to Chris's house with my friend, rang the doorbell, and was greeted by a friendly and familiar face. Chris took the art and let me take a picture of us, gave us a big kiss on the cheek and we we left. It was a very interesting experience to meet somebody so iconic.

Kiwi Farms started insulting him for many reasons, including his appearance. Copitz decided to clarify his intentions.

Barb showed up to the door while we were talking to Chris, but we did not speak to her.[5]
Just to clear things up, I didn't have any intentions other than saying hi and asking if Chris wanted to make a video with me just for fun. Nothing else. I apologize that I did not make my intentions clear in the first place.[6]

Interview

Copitz started talking about his planned video in his KF thread.

The video I am hoping to make will just be us hanging out, going to McDonalds, and/or playing some video games - just something for fun, not making fun of Chris in any way.[7]
I definitely see why you say that. I appreciate you trying to be reasonable, but I am not planning on going any farther than us making a video together, and there's a small chance we would make more in the future if Chris would want to. But I have no intentions to do any livestreaming together or anything of the sort. Yes, I may see a marginal increase of views on my YouTube channel, but that is only somewhat of a side-benefit. Mostly I just thought it would be an iconic experience to meet and make a video with such a popular personality online, and I felt like it would be fun. Bragging here on kiwifarms was just the first thing I thought of when I got home, as I have seen this website before in relation with Chris, but I realize now that this was not the place to be posting, even though I probably would have ended up being posted on here by a third party anyway.[8]

On 26 May 2018, Copitz went with Lee and a group of other friends to interview Chris. Copitz posted it on Kiwi Farms, where it was largely criticized for the lack of interesting questions asked, however this did not bother him. The video is most notable for firmly establishing the friendship between Copitz and Chris.

Ghost Hunting

Main article: Ghost Hunting with Chris Chan

During February 2019, almost an year after their last interaction, Copitz, Lee, and a third friend all visited Chris to ghost hunt at the DeJarnette Center for Human Development in Staunton, Virginia. Not much actual ghost hunting happens in the video, and the four mostly just walk around and talk about ghosts and other topics. Copitz later complimented Chris on his empathy for the victims of Joseph DeJarnette, both on and off camera.

The Chris Chan Conspiracy

Main article: The Chris Chan Conspiracy

During December 2019, Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber TheGamerFromMars, who wanted to interview Chris for his documentary series 'The Chris Chan Conspiracy'. Copitz accepted, and contacted Chris to plan the interview with him. Eventually, GFM drove to 14 Branchland Court, and met up with Chris and Copitz. They walk with Chris in his backyard, play games with him in his room, walk around the neighborhood, go to a restaurant, before ending the video by chatting to Chris on his gazebo. Copitz later released a deleted scene on his YouTube channel.

Other Interactions

Copitz is known to have invited Chris to his Discord server, however he never chatted.

On 3 May 2019, Copitz accidentally ran into Chris at the downtown mall, who asked him for a ride. Copitz agreed to give Chris a ride, and also took a picture with him.[9]

On 25 May 2019, Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber Nick Robinson, who wanted to arrange an interview with Chris about the character Pappy Van Poodle from Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. Copitz agreed with this, and set up a video call with Chris and Nick, which was posted online.

In February 2020, Copitz's friend Xleepy reached out to him in order to arrange a meeting with Chris, which would be recorded and added to Xleepy's channel trailer. Copitz contacted Chris, and he made the video with Xleepy on 29 February. Copitz is seen sitting next to Chris while he showcases his psychic powers.

On 25 December 2022, Copitz left a comment on Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History Episode 70,[10] which featured his ghost hunting footage.

holy shit hahaha this is awesome. ngl it's so weird but cool to see myself in the Geno documentary after obsessively watching that very same documentary for hours upon hours prior to ever meeting Chris.

Thank you Geno for sharing my video with people! And I'm glad you found some use of it

Just a correction, February was when we filmed the Dejarnette video, about a month prior to uploading it, as I was running into issues with the PC I was using to edit

I want to note how interesting I find what I interpret as - despite all of the things Chris has done which have hurt people - as a huge amount of empathy exhibited by Chris when it comes to the victims of Dejarnette. And the empathy they had for me during our video, with how kind they were. I will also say that from what I remember of our conversations 1-on-1 off camera, Chris was clearly far more interested in talking about me than about themself and trying to help me figure out issues in my life through what they believed to be their powers. Chris obviously has a very different view of the world from us all and it may help people wishing to understand them better to realize that despite the hurt a person may have caused in others, the reason behind their hurtful actions often comes from a desire to help both that person and themselves, yet the decision to do so can be warped by the only way they know how to understand things and a maladaptive level of empathy for themselves.

This is why I truly hope Chris is finding happiness in the obviously inherently unhappy reality of prison through living within their own reality. And maybe some people can find empathy for Chris if they can see the empathy Chris has themselves, no matter how maladaptive.

Thanks again Geno! Hope you had a merry Christmas!
