Kris Williams

Kris Williams was raised in southern New Hampshire where she studied art, film, radio, history and genealogy. She grew up in a house that was very open-minded about the paranormal. Her mother grew up in an active house, her father’s side always spoke of experiences and she grew up with a few of her own.

In 2006 she had 5 people close to her pass away, which lead her to question her beliefs. Her 8-year friendship with Jay and Grant, her love of history, her interest in the paranormal and her own need for answers made her want to get involved with TAPS. She has appeared on Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International with appearances on SyFy’s Destination Truth.

Chris DiCesare – “The Ghost Boy of Geneseo”

As a young college student, Chris DiCesare's view of life was forever changed by a series of horrifying events in and around his dorm room: C2D1 at SUNY Geneseo. From early February through late April of 1985, he and his college friends endured what is now referred to as 'The C2D1 Haunting'.

After almost a quarter century of avoiding the spotlight, in 2009 DiCesare - convinced by the level of respect and authenticity provided by the "Please, talk with me..." film project - finally agreed to share his experience.

Following a 2011 college speaking tour, Chris was featured on the SyFy channel's show "School Spirits". The episode titled 'Dorm Room Nightmare' first aired on June 27th, 2012 and gained national attention.
