Chad Lindberg near death experience
Chad Lindberg has built a successful and versatile career in the film and television industry with such memorable roles as “Jesse” in the original The Fast and the Furious, “Odell” in October Sky opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, “Matthew” in I Spit on Your Grave, and fan-favorite “Ash” on the hit show Supernatural. Lindberg discovered his passion for the paranormal as a young child, following a near-fatal bout with complications arising from Reye’s Syndrome. After being read his last rites, Lindberg miraculously survived and has since had a sensibility and curiosity surrounding ghosts. He has been investigating the paranormal for four years. Taking what he’s learned and experienced along the way, Lindberg now leads his own paranormal ghost tours, giving fans tours of haunted locations across the country in search of ghosts and answers from the beyond.
He nearly died at seven-years-old, he a possessed sensitivity to paranormal activity. He renowned the paranormal expert, author, and investigator John E.L. Tenney was brought back from the dead at age 17 and has dedicated his career to learning more about what’s beyond the white light. In GHOST STALKERS, Chad and John seek the answer to what’s on the other side using state-of-the-art paranormal investigation equipment and conducting their own solo overnight explorations in America’s most haunted places, including the 200-year old Tennessee plantation never-before featured on television and a small-town Georgia hospital that doubled as a funeral home.
“One of life’s biggest unanswered questions is what happens after you die, and it’s amazing to think that the answer could be found in America’s scariest places, especially from Alcatraz and Amityville murder house to lesser-known locations featured for the first time on TV in GHOST STALKERS,” said Marc Etkind, general manager of Destination America. “Viewers are along for a scary ride, where strange events will make even skeptics question their beliefs.”
Chad Lindberg talk of Supernatural
Chad Lindberg: So Amanda, this is Lynn and Kathy, they wrote a book about Supernatural and the fans.
Kathy: Chad is actually in two of our books – we wrote an academic book, Fandom At The Crossroads, about Supernatural and its amazing fandom, and then we wrote a memoir about all the crazy and wonderful things that happened to us when we were researching the academic book – that turned out to be a book about being a fangirl. That one’s called Fangasm. And Chad is in both.
Chad Lindberg: That’s because we’ve known each other for like seven years! One of the first cons I ever did, we met because they were writing this book, and the convention was showing My Big Break. I introduced them to Tony and Elizabeth (Tony Zierra and Elizabeth Yoffe, director and producer of the amazing documentary film, My Big Break), and we became friends, and we’ve hung out a bunch of times over the years.
Kathy: Tony and Elizabeth literally gave us some life-changing advice – we’re forever indebted to you!
Lynn: I don’t think we would have written Fangasm if it weren’t for Tony, and we wouldn’t have known him if it weren’t for you. He kept saying to us, “Don’t just write the academic book, tell your own story, that’s the real story! I dare you.”
Chad Lindberg: That’s what he said to you? That’s awesome.
Kathy: back to My Big Break – that film wasn’t right without Tony’s perspective, and neither was our book. And he had gone thru that same decision process.
Chad Lindberg: And I see these guys all the time…
Lynn: At the cons — And I remember we had a pretty crazy time on Bourbon Street with you one time too…
Amanda: (with raised eyebrows) Oh?
Lynn: (laughing) Not that crazy! People were recognizing him on the street, and he’d never been there before, so…
Chad Lindberg: It was a good time.
Amanda: He’s always a good time – in a good way, not in a crazy maniac way.
Lynn and Kathy: (are grinning because Chad and Amanda are seriously adorable)
Lynn: What is happening with the film you were cast in, the Allman Brothers biopic? That was such a horrible accident [that happened during location filming]
Chad Lindberg: It was. I was cast as Red Dog, the legendary Red Dog, who was a long haired dude and a zany character. And a lot of work went into it, just preparing, just in terms of like getting the part. Then everything was all lined up and great. The first day of shooting, we were shooting by some train tracks and they didn’t have permission to be on the tracks. Two trains go through, and they went up on the trestle to set up the shot and a train came and they basically all had to run off the tracks and try to get off the bridge. As another train came through, they put a mattress on the tracks and a train came through and rammed into the bed and a 27-year-old production assistant named Sarah was on the bed and it killed her. The first day of filming. Ten people on the crew had to go to the ER, they were really injured.
Lynn: Ohmygod, were you there?
Chad Lindberg: No, thank god. I got an email from my manager, and then it just blew up, it rippled across Hollywood.
Lynn: There was such an outpouring of support. I was proud of the Supernatural for taking part in Slates for Sarah.
Chad Lindberg : (nodding) Yeah, because it needs to be done. So they’ve suspended filming and there’s a criminal investigation into what led to this. The good that’s come out of it will be new rules for safety on set. I know I’m gonna be careful with everything I do, and not afraid to say you know, that doesn’t feel right. And it’s hard because, in a weird way, I was a part of that. I got so many texts that day from people saying, aren’t you in that movie? And I was like, yeah. It was a movie about the Allman Brothers, it was supposed to be like fuck yeah, man…
Lynn: That’s heartbreaking, I’m so sorry
Chad Lindberg: Yeah, it’s heartbreaking, I mean, it’s devastating.
Lynn: Such a tragedy and a loss, and it’s also hard because that sounded like a great film, and it was generating a lot of buzz. I was really happy for you.
Chad Lindberg: Yeah, I felt like it had momentum, I was like here we go, yeah, and then…
Lynn: It sounded like a perfect part for you.
Chad Lindberg: It was yeah, a big part – and playing a real guy. But it wasn’t meant to be. Obviously there are bigger reasons it wasn’t meant to be. My buddy Jeff was saying he was on a set and they had a safety meeting after that, so it’s everywhere and that’s good, and Sarah’s name really means something.
Lynn: It’s made a difference.
Chad Lindberg: Exactly.
Lynn: Might it come back? Could the film still happen?
Chad Lindberg: You never know. It was being produced by Gregg Allman, had a great cast, an amazing cast, so you never know, maybe years from now they’ll try again. Or maybe it has so much taint on it.
Lynn: I wonder if someone could make it, and make it in honor of Sarah.
Chad Lindberg: They could do that, in a year or two maybe, keep the cast hopefully. Ain’t nothing happening until the investigation is squared away though.
Lynn: I’m so sorry. Can we switch gears to talk about something else we wanted to ask about?
Everyone: (is nodding)
Lynn: So you don’t just play a ghostbusting character on television, you do this in real life! Your ghosthunting adventures at the Supernatural cons – people are so excited about it. Tell us about the most recent one – I heard buzz that some pretty unusual things happened.
