BARRY CONRAD

Barry Conrad: film-maker and ghost-hunter extraordinaire. Few men have ventured where he has ventured, and even fewer have come back with any supporting evidence. Mainly known for the TV shows, “California's Most Haunted (2003)”, “Monsters of the UFO (2005),” and, “Valentino's Ghost (2012),” Barry commenced his broadcast career with Nick Clooney (George Clooney's father) in Ohio back in the Seventies. His credits span countless titles as cameraman, director-of-photography, and producer, including several feature documentaries under the banner of his own BARCON VIDEO PRODUCTIONS.

San Pedro Haunting: surely one of his most well-known paranormal cases to date, Barry has also written a book about said haunting, under the title of, “An Unknown Encounter: A True Account Of The San Pedro Haunting.” This popular case focuses on the haunting of Jackie Hernandez, which began during the Summer of 1989, in a peaceful neighbourhood of San Pedro, California. A single mother-of-two, Jackie was a hard-working lady trying to make ends meet; the poltergeist activity was certainly the last thing she needed. It commenced when she first saw a vision of a ghoulish old man, sitting in her children’s bedroom on one of their beds. The paranormal activity that ensued after this was unimaginable, often going beyond mere poltergeist activity and resulting in actual physical harm. On certain occasions, there would be unidentified puss-like liquid oozing from the walls and ceilings; other times, Jackie reported violently vivid dreams, often finding herself being beaten to death in San Pedro Harbor; during one particular incident, an unseen force even held her down to the floor for several minutes, almost smothering her. The oozing liquid, quite amazingly, was captured on camera by Barry Conrad, during his time filming and investigating the household. The team managed to capture samples of the liquid, and had these sent off to a lab for further investigating. The results left them all speechless: according to the lab, the oozing liquid was, in fact, human blood plasma. As for the violent dreams, there’s a whole other story related to that, involving the dead body of a man found in San Pedro Harbor.
