Brad Klinge

 

 

 Brad Klinge was born and raised in the Universal City/Schertz area, just outside San Antonio, Texas. Brad is a 1996 graduate of Southwest Texas State University, with a major in business and a minor in broadcast journalism. Everyday Paranormal is Brads' full-time job and career. Brad Klinge's odyssey toward a TV show scientifically investigating the paranormal began 20 years ago on a family trip to Gettysburg. In the summer of 1990 the then 17-year-old Klinge saw — and caught on video —  an actual ghost regiment of Civil War soldiers so vivid, he thought at first they were there for a reenactment. This experience was the driving force behind Brad Klinge's decision to form Everyday Paranormal in October 2007.  Brad Klinge's goal is to take supernatural investigation to a new level with common-sense theories and techniques that so far have led to extraordinary evidence.

Klinge's new show, Ghost Lab, which just completed its first 13 episode season on the Discovery Channel, is the logical conclusion of the journey begun at Gettysburg, as he, his brother Barry, and the rest of the San Antonio-based Everyday Paranormal team, seek to bridge the subjective and the objective by using the scientific method and high tech devices to prove the existence of entities not yet recognized by science.

The Klinge brothers tackle what are thought to be some of America's most haunted locations with sophisticated equipment housed in a decked-out travelling "ghost lab."  This 24-foot car hauler 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.
