Upbringing & Education

Kris Williams has been fascinated by the paranormal since her childhood. She was born on February 20, 1981, in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA. Her family had always been open to the possibility of paranormal, because of the various houses they had lived in. She started studying her own’s family genealogy when she was only 11 years old, and developed a keen interest in history and culture.

Kris graduated from Alvirne High School in New Hampshire in 1999 before going to Rivier College in New Hampshire where she studied Communications for two years. 

Getting into Paranormal Investigation

Kris was raised in a religious family, but she describes herself as “skeptical”. She does not believe things unless she sees, hears, or feels them for herself. She has always been curious and adventurous and enjoys traveling and investigating new places. She worked as a flooring installer and carpenter for three years before joining the cast of Ghost Hunters, a popular paranormal TV series aired on the SyFy network. She was chosen for the series because they needed “a no-nonsense, rational female, who didn’t scare easily and could also stand her ground in a group made up of strong males”.

Ghost Hunters

Kris Williams joined TAPS as a case manager and researcher. She made her debut on Ghost Hunters in 2007 as an investigator and soon became a fan favorite for her intelligence, courage, and humor. She was also part of Ghost Hunters International, a spin-off series that featured investigations in various countries around the world, from 2008 to 2012. She appeared in over 100 episodes of Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International, traveling to places like Ireland, Italy, Romania, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand.

Leaving the Show and Reason for Her Exit

Kris Williams did leave Ghost Hunters in 2011 which she came to the decision after an incident involving a cast member cutting herself in a bloodletting ritual during an investigation at a castle in Slovakia. Kris said that the production company should have known better and that the episode backfired on the ratings and the reputation of the show.

Kris also said that she wanted to pursue other interests and passions outside of the paranormal field. She said that investigating was not something she was into her whole life and that she did not live for the paranormal. Williams shared on a blog post in May 2019 saying

‘Unlike other investigators – investigating was not something I was into my whole life. It was not a love or a passion. My family always enjoyed sharing odd stories we experienced over the years and had an open mind – but I didn’t live for the paranormal.’

Life After

Kris Williams also left Ghost Hunters International which was in 2012 and moved to Australia, where she started a travel and lifestyle blog. Her website bio reads,

“I love to travel to new places and tackle new things while sharing and inspiring people to try the things I am passionate about. All in all – there will be no shortage of stories.”

She also calls herself the “Jane of all Trades” and is fond of storytelling. She also launched a YouTube channel and became active on social media. 

Return on Ghost Hunters

After 10 years of being asked by fans if she would ever return to Ghost Hunters, Kris Williams finally reunited with the TAPS team in 2022 during season 14 episode 9 “The Shadow Man”. The episode featured an investigation at a performing arts center in Ohio haunted by shadow figures, unexplained noises, and a ghostly nun. Kris said that it was great to see everyone again and to finally meet Shari DeBenedetti, a new member of the team. Even though she has not joined as a regular cast member, she continued to appear as a guest on Season 15 and Season 16.
