What happened to Brian Harnois?
March 29, 2010 | 
Author You remember Brian don’t you? He was the little kid Jason used to pick on relentlessly in the first season of the Ghost Hunters. When there was grunt work to be done, he was assigned the task. When a scapegoat was needed, he was called into service. And yes, he was the done running down the halls of Eastern State yelling, "Dude, Run!"
After being shoved off Ghost Hunters he made a brief stint on Ghost Hunters International. And from there, he disappeared. Like an apparition himself, he simply disappeared into the Ether.
It’s been a few years since I’ve seen or heard anything about it. I think we’ve all been expecting some sort of cameo on one of the Ghost Hunters shows, but alas, it has never come to pass. But Brian isn’t down and out. It seems he’s been busy building his own paranormal network.
I saw his name pop on a Twitter post and then, following that, landed on his "The Paranormals" site.
The Paranormals is a national investigation team founded by Brian Harnois
In the process of pursuing the goal of obtaining data to lead to a better understanding of ghosts and hauntings, our first ambition is to aid any individuals who are having problems dealing with or understanding a paranormal situation.
Give the site a look and see what Brian has been up to lately.

There has been a good handful of mainstream media articles on Brian lately. Shy of digging through all of my March posts, here is one of the more informative articles I’ve tripped over lately. He’s doing a lot of ‘talks’, conferences, etc all over the country.
Brian Harnois
Who cares ! He is a has been, and always be a has been. I is just trying to live off his previous faiulre, and he failed hard. No one liked him, and those that did, only liked him out of pitty. He sucked at his job, and he sucks at life. Follow him on FB if u really wanna see how much he sucks,, been outta work, just gota a shitty job, and married to and ugly pig of a wife, STILL trying to cling to his 15 min of fame. Its pathetic really
Come on now, that’s a little harsh. Brian wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately, I think he was turned into Jason and Grant’s whipping boy to try and stir up some drama and ratings for the original show. It looked like they were setting him up for failure just so they could berate him for the camera. I think he got screwed in all this Ghost Hunters business.
Wow Ben such a big mouth for someone who will NEVER get 15 mins of Fame.
I’ve heard Brian Harnois speak at a conference and follow him on Facebook. He is talented and personable. His wife is attractive and his kids are adorable.
Wow Ben you are a douche, that’s all.
It seemed that Brian Harnois had some personal issues and some maturity problems with prioritizing, but his enthusiasm
was priceless. He was trying to work through them and it seemed that Jason and Grant were trying to work with
him on it, but he just couldn’t keep it together. Still, I think he was treated badly at times, his weaknesses exploited,
especially by Steve. Steve can be really annoying at times, a bit self-rightous. It’s annoying to hear about his own issues like being afraid of heights, being afriad of spiders, being afraid to fly, etc. Why don’t you just go home, sit on the couch with your teddy bear and suck your thumb?? Do you think his lame ass would have climbed the lighthouse stairs three times to adjust the sound mic?? At least Brian was all out there, b–lls to the wall, not pretentious….”dude, run!” – I don’t care what they say, that’s one of the best scenes in GH history.
I completely agree, Sherbze. I like GH and still watch it, but the episodes without Brian have been a lot less fun. Steve is decidedly peculiar and a first class jerk, and I’m also really tired of hearing about all his phobias. Any adult with that many things that scare them should be spending their time with a psychologist, not ghost hunting. He’s continually making Tango the butt of his cruel jokes, yet no one makes fun of Steve’s unending psychiatric issues. I always felt Brian got the the shaft, and the show is just not as good without him. Steve is zero fun to watch or listen to and the show would be better off without him.
Brian screwed up big time and paid for it. Still when he came back I don’t think he was given a fair chance I thinkBrian decided they wouldn’t ever really accept that he had realized what he had done and changed so he finally just gave up. I have some of the same phobias as Steve but I don’t endlessly talk about them and do my damnedest to work through them. Steve was a real jerk regarding Brian and still is. I still think that he got rid of the computer mouse in the one episode and the table in another so it could be (and was) blamed on Brian. Steve was tech supervisor so he should have caught the blame in both instances. I agree that he is also one to Tango. He needs to get over himself.
I agree with a lot of the positive remarks and some of the negative ones. But no one is perfect, and at the age of 58 I still say and do stupid things and I want to say ” I didn’t do or say it”. It eats me up inside and I just go over and over what I should have done or said. I agree he should’ve perhaps owned up to what he did wrong, but when you have an audience and aggressive personalities like Grant verbaly berating you on camera, well enough said. In my opinion I feel there was always something going on when Brian was on the show, it seems ghosts were attracted to him. I really like Jason and Grant but they needed to settle employee issues off camera. I also agree Steve was and is too eager to show up someone unnecessarily. It really came across on that stupid Ghost Hunters Academy, I still don’t see how you allowed those young people to go thru all that meanes. Jason and Grant didn’t in any way treat Steve and Tango or anyone else like those people were, accept Brian. I stopped watching after the first few shows it was always reminding me of humiliation I was put thru as kid, teen and adult. Glad you dropped it. I am still a fan of new shows and I love the flashlight conversations, I want to see more.
