EVENT HIGHLIGHT - October 28th, 2019
The Travel (TRVL) Channel debuts Season 1, Episode 1 of My Horror Story, entitled: Run, Ghost Boy, Run! The 42-minute episode features Chris Di Cesare as he re-tells his experience during the C2D1 Haunting that took place in Geneseo, NY in the winter of 1985. It marked the second time Di Cesare was featured on a network television show, the first being the SyFy School Spirits series in 2012. Also featured in the episode is New Mexico native John Bucklin who recounts his run-in with a 'skinwalker'.

C2D1Haunting 30th Anniversary Paranormal Symposium
Thirty years after the resolution of the infamous C2D1 Haunting, five former Erie Hall Students came together to recall the events of 1985. This unprecedented gathering - perhaps the largest of it's kind for an extreme haunting - also included Charlie Manning, the priest who blessed the C2D1 dorm room back in March of 1985. The panel was hosted by award-winning director Mara Katria, and featured (left to right): Paul Davie, Chris Di Cesare, Linda Kalasinki, Craig Norris and J. Jeff Ungar.
EVENT HIGHLIGHT - June 3rd, 2015
Coast to Coast AM - with George Noory.
Chris DiCesare was a normal college student in the 1980s until a series of events began to unfold in his dorm room, C2D1 Erie Hall at SUNY Geneseo in New York state, which came to be known as the C2D1 Haunting. In the show's latter half, he related the strange events that he and his college mates experienced as they interacted with a spirit they identified as "Tommy" beginning in February 1985. Initially, he heard whispering voices, even as he listened to music over headphones. Then, he actually saw a specter, a young man around 15 or 20, who would have passed for a normal human, if he hadn't seen his legs going through the stereo.
While showering one day, he saw a silhouette on the bathroom wall, and was then attacked, with three visible scratches appearing from his neck to waist. Chris and his roommate decided to call in local clergy and wanted to present evidence of the ghost-- what came out was an odd skeletal image.
EVENT HIGHLIGHT - SEPTEMBER 14th, 2012
The world premiere of "Please Talk with Me" (produced by William J Edwards and directed by Mara Katria) takes place at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, NY as part of the SCARE-A-CUSE film and horror convention. The feature-length independent film, featuring Kyle Shea as a young Di Cesare, and Aaron Katter as a young J Jeff Ungar, would eventually win awards for Best Feature Film and Best Director, with a runner-up nod in the category of Best Actor. The film is an accurate and captivating look at the C2D1 Haunting as it addresses the issues of trauma and trust. Di Cesare was credited as a Historic Consultant and appears several times in the film.
EVENT HIGHLIGHT - JUNE 27th, 2012
SyFy School Spirits: Dorm Room Nightmare
Marking his first time being featured on a network television show, Di Cesare, along with his father, Vito; the chronicler of the C2D1 Journal notes J. Jeff Ungar; and college witness Beth Kinsman, appear on the SyFy network's School Spirits series. The episode, titled "Dorm Room Nightmare", provided a graphic and detailed look at the extreme haunting in grand style. The episode received wide-ranging acclaim (even besting popular series Haunted Collector in the ratings that night) and helped to propel the events into the national conscience and re-ignite the urban legend of 'The Ghost Boy of Erie Hall'.
