About

Brian was born in Milford, MA to Edgar and Marie Harnois of Woonsocket, RI. He was raised in Woonsocket, RI, and now lives in Warwick, RI. Brian has 2 daughters named MacKenzie and Kylie.

Paranormal Career

Brian became interested in the paranormal when he was 11 years old in the year 1988 when while sleeping over his friend Josh Gravel's house, he witnessed a full body apparition walk through the room. For the next 4 years he researched and read about anything and everything paranormal he could get his hands on. At the age of 15 in 1992 he began investigating the paranormal by going to cemeteries and old mill buildings in the area of Woonsocket, RI.

After 7 years of investigating by himself, he decided to join a group in the Rhode Island area. He looked on the internet for local groups and T.A.P.S. (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) popped up on his browser. He immediately emailed one of the co-founders (Jason Hawes) to see if he could possibly meet up with him to talk about joining the group. His email was met with a phone call and within a day he was meeting with Jason at Bess Eaton Donuts in Warwick, RI. He joined the group that day and by that night he was headed out with the team to investigate the Ladd School in Exeter, RI and Judge Brayton Cemetery in Warwick, RI.

After 4 years in the year 2003 Jason was approached to do a new reality ghost show. After a couple of months of negotiations Brian along with the rest of the T.A.P.S. team filmed a demo for the show in the Berkshires out in Massachusetts. Only a couple of months later, Pilgrim Films started to produce the show Ghost Hunters for the SyFy Channel. Production began in June of 2004. Brian was one of the main characters on the show and appeared in the first 3 seasons of the show. He is also the originator of the catch phrase of the show "Dude,Run".

Specials

Episodes marked "special" in the above tables are listed on SyFy.com as regular season episodes, although they do not appear to be counted as regular televised investigations because episode #601 "Alcatraz" was promoted as the "100th episode," (if the specials were counted there would be more than that). The specials are just reviews and recaps of investigations. The following list are televised Ghost Hunters events that are not counted as part of any particular season of the program.
