Erie Hall
The Ghost Boy of Erie Hall
Christopher Di Cesare is a New York-based author, lecturer, and duel-certified high school teacher whose experiences as a college student back in 1985 have been the focus of several books, films, and radio/television shows including Coast to Coast AM with George Noory in 2015; the Syfy Network’s 2012 “School Spirits” series; the Trvl Channel’s 2019 “My Horror Story” series; and the 2012 award-winning independent docu-thriller “Please Talk with Me."
The Erie Hall Haunting ranks among the most documented paranormal events in United States history, defined by full-bodied apparitions, disembodied voices, moving objects, physical attacks, photographs and audio tapes. More than a dozen witnesses have professed their experience with this Western New York extreme haunting that found a teenage Di Cesare at its epicenter, and to whom urban legend ascribed the nickname ‘The Ghost Boy of Erie Hall’.

Special message from CITA Ventures: (June 20th Update)
It is with great concern that I share with you that Chris was recently diagnosed with a rare form of retinal cancer. He underwent multiple surgeries during the first week of June at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. He is now at home recovering and it appears to have been successful in removing the cancer from his eye.
Chris and his family will be facing many challenges: physical, emotional, and financial. That is why, as his publisher and his friend, I decided to make his book – The Ghost Boy of Erie Hall – which had been scheduled for an October release available immediately! The proceeds from the sale of the books and the #GhostBoyStrong Fundraiser will go to assist Chris and his family with the many challenges ahead.
Many of you have asked if there is more that you can do to assist Chris. In response to your generosity, I have setup up a gofundme fundraiser to further raise funds to assist Chris and his family with the financial strain this has caused on them. As you might suspect, Chris is not able to work and has used up his sick time allotment. He is no longer paid for any sick days.
The following #GhostBoyStrong fundraiser merch is available with free shipping:
* T-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps and mugs with special #GhostBoyStrong fundraiser branding. Free standard shipping is included with each order.

* DVD of the docu-thriller PLEASE TALK WITH ME 30th Anniversary Edition, - premiering in 2015 at the C2D1 Haunting 30th Anniversary Event at SUNY Geneseo. This is a documentary adaption of the classic film. Visit the 30th Anniversary website to learn more. ($20 with free shipping)
* A handcrafted prayer bracelet personally blessed by Father Charlie Manning. Father Charlie is the priest who blessed the dorm room during the haunting. A portion of the proceeds will also go to assist Father Chalie. ($50 with free shipping)
Chris wishes me to share that he is eternally grateful for all of the love and support that was sent his way and humbled by your generosity. Although more procedures lay ahead, he knows that he is not in this alone. You all have made a huge difference and he mentioned he felt your love. Thank you!
