Ghost Lab is Coming to Discovery
October 2, 2009 by Cynthia
Discovery Channel takes another step into the world of ghost hunting this October with the premiere of their new show Ghost Lab. I haven’t seen the show yet but the press on it talks up the high tech nature of the show. Brad and Barry Klinge are Texas boys who founded a company called Everyday Paranormal and they claim to have a new twist on the old hunt.
What they do have is a fancy mobile lab that’s loaded with cool gadgets. It’s a 24-foot car hauler that is capable of providing 200,000 watts of electricity to power audio, video and photo analysis stations; flat-screen televisions and an interactive touch-screen smartboard.
The lab also houses surveillance video cameras capable of shooting 300 feet away in total darkness with a 180-degree peripheral view; temperature, humidity and dew point data loggers; various digital cameras, including thermal imaging cameras; audio recorders; and more than 8,000 feet of video cable. This on-site high-tech lab enables investigators to analyze data on the premises in real time, helping them to more narrowly focus their investigations on suspected “hot spots.”
The team also consults with some of the world’s foremost specialists in science measurements to devise and test theories during their investigations. Is there more “ghost activity” around water? Are spirits attached to specific items or locations? Is there a parallel universe?
Some of the locations the Klinge brothers investigate on Ghost Lab include Tombstone, Ariz., home to some of the most violent deaths in history; Shreveport Municipal Auditorium, where Elvis got his start; and Granbury Opera House where, according to legend, John Wilkes Booth changed his name to John St. Helen and performed Shakespeare after assassinating President Lincoln.
Ghost Lab premieres Tuesday, October 6 at 10:00 on Discovery Channel.

RottenOne, i just read your post, and you are EXACTLY on point with what you said, i should have rad yours before i posted mine, lol, kinda loop one another in a sense. But you are right about ghost hunters working on there INN all the time now, i mean they couldn’t even go to there own live ghost hunt on holloween, that is not cool, that is straight ill, think about it, remember last year when grant said they were the same guys meaning the money didn’t change them , they dont look at the fame that way like most people would think, she said something like that, on the interview. Well, why the hell do you think they are working on this INN so much and worrying just about that, MONEY, they are gonna let people come there and stay, for the right price, i wouldn’t pay 5 dollars to stay in that rebuilt, fake, carnival haunted house, probably have skeletons jumping out at you, with steve there bitch boy standing att he end with a jason mask waiting to leap in front of ya. Anyway, im done again, lol.
