BARRY CONRAD — PRODUCER & DIRECTOR

Barry Conrad is a documentary filmmaker, author, and veteran television news cameraman originally from Hamilton, Ohio. He began his career in journalism before joining WKRC-TV in Cincinnati, later working at two major television news stations in Denver, including NBC affiliate KOA-TV.

Conrad has produced more than a dozen documentary films exploring UFO reports and paranormal experiences. His credits include Monsters of the UFO, Incident at Kelly, Legend of the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, Man, Myth or Monster, and The Travis Walton Story in Their Own Words. His investigation and filming of the San Pedro Haunting also became the basis for his book and documentary, Unknown Encounter: A True Account of the San Pedro Haunting. The documentary aired on the Sci-Fi Channel in 1997.

His latest feature documentary, Prism of Darkness: The Evil Attachments of Melodie Brookman, grew out of his introduction to Brookman in 2020 and subsequent firsthand documentation of unusual events surrounding her. Combining actual footage and eyewitness interviews, the film examines her reported experiences and Conrad’s efforts to document and understand them.
