After garnishing thousands of fans primarily from his TV appearances, people wonder what Barry is up to now that the series of Ghost Hunters International is over. However, Barry seems to stay low in public status as much as possible for reasonable opinions. Thus, not much information is publicly available on Barry’s life.
Early Life
Barry Fitzgerald, the paranormal expert, is a Lisburn native from Northern Ireland. With his childhood days mostly spent at Lisburn, Barry had more than just a few ghostly encounters at a very young age.
After meeting unusual incidents more than once, Barry became interested in investigating the root cause of such incidents. As Barry grew up, he did investigations that eventually led him to an operating paranormal society in Ireland.
However, reliable sources are less regarding Barry’s past life. Till date, there is no source claiming Barry’s highest qualification level.
Career
After an impressive contribution to the paranormal society in Ireland, The Atlantic Paranormal Society came knocking at Barry’s doors. After that, TAPS also gave him an offer to join their team alongside his current society. Hearing this information, Barry officially became a member of two different parts of society, and the rest is history.
Ghost Hunters
His most significant career came as a TV personality featuring in the show Ghost Hunters in 2006. Barry’s debut came in his introductory episode name Attack of the Irish Elemental. However, Barry went on a hiatus from the season till 2007 where he was making few appearances in the show.
But his big break came in 2008, finally starring the spin-off series Ghost Hunters International as a lead investigator of the starring cast team.

After being in the franchise for more than four years, Barry left the series to pursue his future career as an author and a photographer.
Author and Photographer
Barry’s unusual turn to a whole new different career appears to have been his childhood dream. From his childhood, Barry had taken up a liking in writing books and using cameras.
Before his 30 years of experience as a paranormal experience in a professional field, Barry had written many books. Some of his creative writings include The Complete Approach ($14.99), The Influence, Searching the Sídhe ($18.76), and Banshee ($20), among many other.
