We want to introduce you to Chris Fleming. According to Chris's website, "Christopher Fleming is an internationally recognized paranormal investigator, spiritual medium, artist and speaker with over five decades of firsthand encounters with the supernatural and spiritual realms. Born in 1967, the son of NHL legend Reggie Fleming, Chris grew up in the Chicago suburbs—where, from early childhood of 3, he experienced profound and often terrifying interactions with ghosts and unexplained entities. These early encounters inspired a lifelong pursuit to understand consciousness, spirit, and life after death. By age eight, Chris was experimenting with EVP (electronic voice phenomena) and psychic communication, capturing voices and physical manifestations that would later shape his work in modern paranormal research. After earning a degree in Fine Arts with minors in Psychology and Music from Beloit College, he spent several years in art design and advertising before launching Unknown Magazine in 1997—an independent publication documenting real experiences of the unexplained. In 2003, Chris became internationally known as co-host of the acclaimed TV series Dead Famous, which aired in over 20 countries on networks including LivingTV, Bravo, and The Biography Channel. His investigations and groundbreaking use of the “Direct Response Method” (created by Dr William Roll) using EMF meters helped shape how modern ghost hunting is done today. Since then, Chris has appeared on numerous hit shows, including the award winning Curse of Lizzy Borden Shock Doc, Ghost Hunters - Manson Murders Episode, Ghost Adventures/GA Live, Portals to Hell and Psychic Kids for Syfy, Travel and A&E." Not to mention he's also a musician, artist, spiritual counselor, and just an amazing person. Chris is an inspiration to many, and we are honored to have him as a guest.
