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.
I watched the show for the first time tonight, I like it a lot. I have experienced spirits and captured pictures of what I believe are spirits, including animals. I would like to send some of them to you sometime. Keep up the good work.
I think this show really outclasses ghost hunters and paranormal state. They have better equipment. More training, and they are active at persueing ghosts not ratings.
Berry and Brad finally bring professionalism to ghost hunting. Dismissing myths and debunking odd sounds.
My favorite episode is episode 3 where the team travels to Chicago to visit the Liars Club where there were multiple murders in the same corner!
Really brilliant show hope they keep up the pace they have started with. Way to go discovery channel!
Who is Katie? There is absolutely no information concerning her!
I have never posted anything ever online regarding any of the shows I like or don’t like until now. I’m a female Paranormal Investigater and studied Demonology as well in College as my experience with the supernatural scared me and I have been searching for evidence since then. With that being said Ghost Lab has all this fancy costly equitrment as many other Hunters do but Brads attitude is WAY TOO COCKY being this is the 1st season. Walking in saying “Everyday Paranormal in the house and you better do someyhing to impress me with your hiding ass.” That’s just 1 expamplev of many. I’m all for provoking spirits as that is how you push the limits and get more results in my 20 years of doing this however, I don’t see the others shows throwing their weight around making such demands acting like they are the bomb digity for lack of better words. They are not. A friend of mine who likes the show sent a link to me to read and someone said “feel free to ask Brad or Berry any questions as they do have a FB account and pop in from time to time. Who knows, you may be the lucky one who gets a personal reply on your Facebook wall” Arre you kidding me?? They are not “A” list celebs, not by a long shot so who are they to act like we should be honored to have them possibly grace our page with a reply? It rubbed a lot of people the wrong way including fans. I guess they feel they don’t have to pay their dues like the others shows but even they don’t act so cocky. It makes it look like all investigaters are showing off for the camera thinking were cool being on TV. No one will believe any legit findings when they feel these guys are just showing off for cameras and it hurts their credibility as well as other Paranomral Teams. I also understand they were on Larry King ( which isn’t hard to do no matter how minor of a show you have) and someone read they bragged about “femake fans.” I’m sorry….I’m no Pam Anderson but they are the LAST GUYS to act like they are a Brad Pitt. I think we all see why. This kind of display really ruins it for the ones you are not trying to look cool for the camera and are not there for that. I can’t bring myself to watch another episode. The constant nasty attitude and going in yelling at “spirits” to prove themselves to him. Who is he to demand that???? No one knows who they even are unless you watch those shows. None of my 20 friends or their friends had NO CLUE who they were. It just ruins any possible legit findings they may have. Not to mention they don’t let the team members particiate unless they have to have more than 2 people (but there is a camera crew at all times) and they treat the staff as if they are beneath them. I notice the other shows treat the whole team as one, not “I’m the founder & co founder so you speak when spoken to.” At the end when they “reflect” on their findings they do not include the other members. I guess Brad is a camera hog but takes credit when a team member finds a good EVP or anything. Has anyone noticed that as well? He isn’t a celeb BY ANY MEANS. If Brad would get his insecurity in check and quit acting cocky & cool to make up for others things (when men or women act like that it means it’s a insecurity issue and they feel the need to try to convince others they are the bomb. I know a lot of people are ragging about his weight in other posts which is wrong. That’s very immature and cruel but when you act like your all that it opens yourself up for critisism. If he would just act like a man his age should he would have a more prudent response. A lot of others posted about this as well I read on some review board. If they would just drop the “I’m a bad ass” attitude and include all team members and stop taking credit when they discover something & work very hard as well (which must be very annoying to them) this show could be a great sucess. This is just my opinion. I like the science they use to back up evidence but I fear his insecurty that drives him to act this way will ruin it. I am all for provoking, don’t get me wrong but not acting like I’m all that. I hope things improve so I can possibly watch this again. Thank you very much for letting me share my opinion. I’m sure they are very nice guys but money & TV really change people and bring out the worst even if they are no body’s to the Hollywood community. If anyone in Orlando Fla looking for a female Ghost Tracker plese let me know. I pray you guys have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving. Don’t let the Boogy Man get you in the dark. Lol. Just start snapping pics & grap your Digital Voice Recorder & start EVP sessions.
