Lifetime Television introduces viewers to multi-talented English clairvoyant Lisa Williams with the premiere of "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead," a new reality series that explores Lisa's claim of unique abilities to see and speak with the dead and in some cases possibly transform the lives of the people she meets. Throughout each episode, Lisa shares stories of people seeking to connect with someone from their past, while offering personal observations and insights. "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead" premieres Monday, Oct. 30 from 8 to 9 PM (ET/PT) and will air for six consecutive weeks.

In each episode of "Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead," cameras follow a typical day in the life of Lisa Williams. When Lisa removes her hat, it's her way of showing the spirit world that she is available for contact. Lisa gives readings in her office to scheduled clients as well as to "strangers" while she is out and about in Los Angeles, often giving impromptu readings to people on the street. In these meetings, Lisa relays messages that she believes are from the dead to their relatives and friends. Lisa also visits believed haunted locations, where she seeks in her quirky way to make peace among all residents - living and deceased.

The series also observes Lisa at home, giving a glimpse of how these stories affect her personal life with her husband, Kevin, and her six-year-old son, Charlie, who they think already shows an interest in natural healing and talking with spirits.

Williams' tells the story of her grandmother, Frances Glazebrook, who says she was a revered psychic medium to the British Royal Family and other notable people. Lisa knew from a very young age that she had the gift, but it wasn't until her grandmother sat her down when she was 19 years old that she finally decided to embrace it. "You'll continue my work after I die," Glazebrook told Lisa just before her death in 1996. Shortly after, Lisa found herself telling total strangers about their lives and what she divined was in store for them.

"Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead" is produced by Merv Griffin Entertainment and Kimo Jagger Productions for Lifetime Television. Executive Producers are Merv Griffin ("Wheel of Fortune," "Jeopardy!"), Andrew Yani ("Second Verdict"), Raymond J. Brune ("Good Morning America," "E!
