From an early age, Chris Fleming was prone to experiencing extraordinary encounters - with
ghosts and unexplained phenomenon.
On many occasions these experiences were collective, meaning shared with eyewitnesses.
While some of the events can be classified as divine intervention, there were others that, to this day, Chris still considers terrifying.
Born in 1967, he is the son of Patricia Fleming and
Chicago Blackhawks Hockey star,
Reggie Fleming.
Though he traveled extensively with his parents and sister during his father's active years, Chris spent the majority of his childhood in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.
He attended Beloit College in Wisconsin, majoring in fine arts, with a minor in psychology and music.
Following his graduation from college, Chris worked as a graphic designer for a major newspaper, and for the number one direct mail company in the US.
After years of listening to other people talk about their own amazing experiences, Chris chose to use his design experience to document the stories in his publication called UNKNOWN Magazine: Real Experiences of Unusual Phenomena, which ran from Spring of 1997 to early 2001.
As publisher, art director, and editor, Chris set out to create a magazine forum which allowed people across the globe to share their first-hand encounters in one packaged medium.
The sharp new approach and excellent design of the publication created such an impact that similar publications quickly updated their own formats.
Since the creation of Unknown Magazine, Chris has met countless ordinary and extraordinary people from all walks of life.
Through their stories, he has been privy to some incredible and rarely-discussed information about the world around us, both seen and unseen.
With Unknown Magazine out of publication, Chris focused his efforts on a medium even more powerful than print - the internet.
Over the years, Chris has given many lectures on his personal experiences, and has been a guest on numerous radio and TV talk shows all around the world, discussing ghosts and supernatural activity.
For the past three years Chris has been the co-host of the popular TV show Dead Famous, where he joins his co-host
Gail Porter in searching for celebrity ghosts across America, not only at the gravesites, but also in some of the most haunted locations in the USA.
The show is broadcast in over fifteen countries, including the networks: Bravo in Canada, Living TV in The UK, and on The Biography Channel in the US.
With three seasons and thirty-one episodes, Chris has captured thousands of EVP’s (Electronic Voice Phenomena), unexplainable photos, and video footage that he believes can prove the existence of ghosts.
While future projects are in the works, Chris continues to join forces with various ghost hunters and paranormal investigators, investigating the unknown and researching new forms of communication with the other side.
Whenever able, he lends his ear and gives peace of mind to those whom have had their own traumatic paranormal experiences.
Whether through compassionate discussions or sensitive and awareness readings, Chris does his best to assist the individual in question in understanding his or her current situation or purpose of why he or she is here.
Chris is currently broadcasting his own podcast show titled Spirit Talk, and has recently begun writing one of many books he hopes to publish on his own personal paranormal experiences and insights into the other side.
He hopes his experiences will help people understand who we are and why we are here.
