Now, as a member of the new GHI team, Barry supplies his expertise in both ghost-hunting as well as his knowledge of the historical locations of each new investigation.

He now dedicates much of his time to the development of new investigative techniques and research methods.

He is also an avid writer and cook.
I cant wait to get a chance to pick his brains!
So James Randi has said that he's giving 2 more years for someone to claim his $1,000,000.00 prize by displaying paranormal abilities under controlled conditions. He says that 10 years is long enough to wait.
