Recapping The Dead Files “The Lady in Black” (Season 10 Episode 6)

This week we did something we’ve somehow NEVER done before: we rolled dice live on-air to randomly pick a Dead Files episode, and watched it together completely blind in real time, IN PERSON.

Which means you get our uncensored reactions, immediate theories, interruptions, chaos, and approximately seventeen side quests.

The dice landed us in Marshalltown, Iowa for The Lady in Black, featuring a haunted house owned by paranormal investigators who may have finally found a case they can’t handle themselves. Along the way we discuss violent hauntings, creepy staircases, spirit attachments, whether dead people sleep, and one deeply upsetting shallow grave situation involving Richard Tasler, AKA “the hobo con man.”

We also spiral into:

·       whether closed captions help or destroy your ability to watch TV,

·       paranormal investigator qualifications,

·       Christian Science and faith healing,

·       Michael Peterson and the owl theory,

·       how many post-conviction filings is TOO many,

·       and why Amy would absolutely interview the family dog if given the opportunity.

There are ghost children, a woman in a black veil, increasingly alarming injuries, and several moments where we completely derail ourselves before trying to remember we are technically recapping a television show.

Ponder:

If multiple people in a house think one family member is “changing” because of paranormal activity… but that person doesn’t believe any of it… who do you trust?

Witness:

Steve swearing when he sees the sketch, and Megan reminding him it’s a family show, damm*t!

Weigh-In:

If Amy Allan told you a spirit wanted your family gone and said moving was the only option… would you leave the house?

So, grab your dice, your closed captions remote, and maybe a flashlight for the staircase… and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

Child death in history, and we do still swear.

In this episode, we wrap up our three-part Death Valley series by diving into the 2000 documentary Amargosa—and let’s just say… we had thoughts.

We get into Megan’s slow burn experience with the film (it took about an hour to click… but when it did, it really did), while Amy was immediately charmed by its very specific “1970s educational film” vibe—grainy footage, questionable cinematography, and all. Somehow, this thing both feels amateur and also won an Emmy, which… we’re still processing.

But what really pulled us in wasn’t the filmmaking—it was Marta

We talk about her resilience, her wildly difficult upbringing, her complicated relationships, and how she somehow came out the other side as this deeply optimistic, slightly woo-woo, fully committed artist who just… did whatever the hell brought her joy. Whether that was painting murals she didn’t own, performing for empty rooms, or building an entire life in the middle of nowhere, Marta didn’t wait for permission.

So, grab your wildflower seeds and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Research and Rabbit Holes for The Dead Files “Death Valley” (Season 2 Episode 19) which aired May 17, 2013.

This week we’re back in Death Valley Junction—but this time, we’re going deeper. Like… five days of rabbit holes deeper.

In part two of this three-part series, we leave the recap behind and dive headfirst into the history of the Amargosa Opera House and Hotel… and things get complicated fast.

We uncover the origins of the property as a 1920s mining hub built to impress investors (for a booming industry that lasted… about three years), complete with dormitories, a cafe, a general store, and—yes—an infirmary that the show barely touched on.

From there, we follow the story of how the place sat abandoned for decades before ballerina Marta Becket arrived in 1967 and quite literally adopted it—painting her own audience on the walls and performing for them when no one else showed up. (We love her. We would die for her.)

But then… things take a turn.

We dig into what may have really happened with Rich and Mary Lee—because despite what the show implies, it doesn’t seem like ghosts are the only reason they left. There are power struggles, conflicting stories, a very suspicious letter that may or may not have actually been written by Marta, and just enough missing information to make everything feel a little… off.

So, grab your refrigerator yogurt (labeled it so Terry from accounting doesn’t take it) and join us where… The Activity Continues.

This episode was recorded on March 29, 2026 and released on April 30, 2026.

Recapping The Dead Files “Death Valley” (Season 2 Episode 19) which aired May 17, 2013.

This is the first episode in our three-part series based on this episode of The Dead Files.

In this episode, we switch things up and go back to our roots—Amy watches the episode and recaps it for Megan, who comes in completely blind (and highly caffeinated). What starts as a simple desert haunting quickly turns into a “wait… what is this place?” situation.

We talk about the bizarre reality of Death Valley Junction—a “town” that is basically just one property, an opera house, and a hotel sitting in the middle of nowhere. Amy Allan is immediately overwhelmed, Steve asks the important questions (and misses a few obvious ones… looking at you, Dracula nails), and we spiral into discussions about scratches, ghostly bed-sitters, and whether older skin is just out here betraying us.

There are tangents (of course), including our old recording habits, late-night exhaustion, and the realization that we’ve always been like this… we’re just better at editing it now.

Also: ring shots, reservoirs, and the very real possibility that this entire place is just… off.

So, grab your coffee (before we have to take another break to refill it) and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention suicide so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

Crisis Text Line is a global nonprofit organization founded in 2013 that provides mental-health support through text messaging.

The service is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

They support people dealing with things like anxiety, loneliness, bullying, substance use, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts.

Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

This week we’re recapping The Dead Files “Buried” (Season 14, Episode 11) which originally aired February 3, 2023.

Amy and Megan close out their Ohio series with a case that somehow includes: teachers recommending paranormal investigators, a basement ghost who apparently runs a burial service, and one very stressed nine-year-old who just wants to go back to being a “playful boy.”

Along the way, we discuss the truly wild moment when Kingston’s teachers tell his mom she should call The Dead Files, debate whether ghost kids are ever a good sign (spoiler: absolutely not), and wonder why Steve always asks clients if they’ve been “taking any weed.”

We also tackle the real mysteries of the episode, like why the show suddenly discovered drone shots, why Word absolutely refuses to learn how to spell Steve DiSchiavi, and how a ghost can apparently keep burying the same victim over and over while yelling “stay dead.”

Plus:

woodpecker headaches, ghost LEGO buddies, purse-strap demonstrations, basement dread, and a brief but passionate discussion about woodpeckers that absolutely nobody asked for.

Ponder

If a ghost is trying to keep their victim quiet by repeatedly burying them in the basement… does that mean the haunting is less about revenge and more about covering up a crime that refuses to stay buried?

Witness

Both Amy and Megan try to explain things that they have no business explaining.

Weigh-In

If your child’s teachers told you they think your kid is seeing ghosts… and suggested you call paranormal investigators…would you be relieved someone believes them, or immediately start looking for a new school?

So grab your bird-watching book and join us where…The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention child death in history (fire), so please consider before listening. But if you watch The Dead Files, you should be fine. Also we swear.

Recapping The Dead Files “Demon War” (Season 4 Episode 4) which aired August 2, 2014.

There are demons. There are bat faces. There is a mirror moment that made us deeply uncomfortable. And yes, Steve is once again diggin’ tru the archives.

But what we really found ourselves talking about? The baby.

When a toddler becomes central to a paranormal narrative, things get complicated. We explore the historical threads Steve uncovers, the emotional energy inside the home, and how quickly folklore imagery can escalate when fear enters the chat.

Also: math gets us again.

As always, we balance curiosity with compassion… and maybe just a little healthy skepticism.

Observe: Amy attempting to pronounce “qigong” (chee-gong) without Googling it first.

Ponder: How do you even make an appointment for a child exorcism… and is it covered by insurance?

Weigh-In: How do you feel about adults calling each other “baby”? Better or worse than “lover”?

So, grab your bat-faced demon sketchpad and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention child death in history (fire), sexual assault (paranormal), so proceed with caution. Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

Recapping The Dead Files “Tangled” (Season 10, Episode 2) which aired June 22, 2013

We kick off our Ohio Three-Fer with shadow snakes, basement rage, and a 19th-century commune that absolutely did not get good Yelp reviews from the town. This house isn’t just haunted — it’s rooted.

Black vine-like tendrils creep through the land and into the living, and we unpack what happens when depression, history, and paranormal energy all tangle together.

We talk Free Love backlash, Victorian motherhood (twelve children??), morphine, menopause vs. malevolent spirits, and whether tar water is a reasonable Amazon purchase or a sign it’s time to move.

It’s eerie. It’s layered. It’s feral.

Ponder: If negative energy can embed in land… can it spread like an infection?

Witness: Steve calling the commune “woo woo crap” while literally working on a ghost show.

Weigh-In: If Amy told you to spray tar water around your entire house — would you stay… or would you move?

So, grab your tar water (don’t miss a spot!), and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Recapping The Dead Files “Betrayed” (Season 2 Episode 13) which aired April 5, 2013

We talk mental health threads (this officially completes Amy’s accidental Three-Fer), basement dread, and why being six feet tall does not automatically make you immune to fear. Fred earns MVP Dad status, and we unpack how terrifying it must be to feel like you can’t protect your own kids from something you can’t see. It’s heavy… but it’s also Egg Haba, so we manage to spiral appropriately.

Ponder: can ghosts have dementia?

Witness: Megan having troubles saying New Jersey in a New Jersey accent.

Weigh-In: Do you love Deviled Eggs as much as we do?

So, grab your deviled eggs, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Recapping The Dead Files “Satan’s Revenge” (Season 4 Episode 5) which aired August 9, 2014.

In this episode of The Activity Continues, we dig into one of the most intense episodes of The Dead Files yet. This was a listener request from long-time supporter, Zoey! Thank you Zoey!

Steve and Amy travel to rural Michigan to help a family whose dream home has become a waking nightmare. What begins as reports of footsteps, shadow figures, and unexplained injuries quickly escalates into something far darker. The basement of this home appears to be holding dozens of hostile, negative entities, including a powerful shadow figure with violent intentions.

As the investigation unfolds, we talk about:

·        A terrifying concentration of negative spirits in one location

·        Physical injuries, scratches, and life-altering accidents

·        Trauma, PTSD, and how past abuse may intersect with paranormal experiences

·        The psychological vs. paranormal question (and where it breaks down)

·        Why doors, stairs, and basements are never just architectural features on The Dead Files

·        Also don’t forget the side quests: Minnesota weather, headaches, and sleep socks (yes or no?)

It’s disturbing. It’s emotional. And it raises one big question:

How the hell do you end up with fifty bad dead people in your basement?

 So, grab your footie jammies, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

 Content Warnings

This episode contains discussion of:

·        Childhood sexual abuse

·        Suicide

·        Miscarriage / infant loss

The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends Amy and Megan chat about true crime, ghost stories, hauntings, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. Our recaps are full of recurring jokes about recurring tropes.

 This episode was recorded on January 21,2026 and released on February 5, 2026.

Recapping The Dead Files “Am I Crazy?” (Season 1 Episode 6) which aired 2011.

This week, we kick off Season 7 by revisiting “Am I Crazy?”, a case that asks a familiar question with an uncomfortable twist: is the homeowner losing her grip on reality, or uncovering a long-buried truth no one wanted exposed?

In Great Falls, Montana, Kelly believes she’s being contacted by the spirit of Valeria Gibson, a woman erased from the historical record and dismissed in death as “hysterical.”

Through dreams, intuition, and a growing pile of unsettling clues, Kelly uncovers a story that doesn’t match the official version, and medium Amy Allan corroborates that story.

As Steve Dischiavi digs for missing blueprints, vanished records, and suspicious inconsistencies, a pattern emerges: when women tell the truth, history has a habit of calling them unstable. But three women—Valeria, Kelly, and Amy—tell the same story across time.

She’s not crazy. She’s just not being believed.

So… is this a haunting? A cover-up? Or both?

So, grab your Nespresso, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

It’s the end of another wild and weird year on The Activity Continues! In this season finale, Amy and Megan hunker down with cocoa, cozy blankets, and a healthy dose of sarcasm to look back on all things TAC 2025. We revisit our favorite moments, share clips from standout episodes, and shout out the listeners and Patreon crew who keep us (mostly) sane.

Buckle up for haunted Minnesota, listener requests, out-of-context pig facts (yep, you read that right), gratitude for the lovely people we interviewed this year, and our ongoing quest for the perfect ghost story.

There’s talk of imaginary friends, spirit guides, investigating haunted hotels (with adult diapers and crystals, obviously), and a whole lot of gratitude for everyone who stuck around through the shenanigans. But don’t get misty-eyed—this is just our season wrap, not a goodbye!

We’ll be back after a short break with even more ghostly antics, wild tangents, and haunted hijinks.

So grab your spreadsheet, your “brave pants,” and maybe a crystal or two, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Thank you for listening, take care of yourselves. We’ll see you in 2026!

This week we’re recapping The Dead Files episode “House of Mirrors,” (Season 5 episode 3) but — in true TAC fashion — we veer wildly off the rails in the best possible ways.

We also talked about Megan’s full-blown Oregon Chai obsession, Amy’s unexpected backyard cryptid sighting, whether possums are adorable or demonic, why yelling at ghosts never works, and the ongoing “tree burial vs. cremation vs. body farm” debate that absolutely will not die.

We talk of the upcoming season finale, listener suggestions for new investigations, potential paranormal podcast crossovers, and haunted places within road-trip distance that the TAC crew could visit in 2026.

Prepare for tricksters, history, side quests, and a whole lot of laughing at the absurdity of it all.

So grab your Oregon chai (trust us), get cozy, and join us…where The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention suicide by hanging (or was it?) and some child death in history. 

Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

Guest: Diana Doty — co-host of Homespun Haints

She’s back—and so are the ghosts.

This week, we welcome Diana Doty of Homespun Haints for her long-awaited return to TAC, and things get deliciously weird (again). From haunted mirrors that open into impossible green hallways to the eerie overlap between skepticism, storytelling, and sleep paralysis, we explore what happens when logic meets the paranormal—and what it means to keep laughing in the dark.

 In This Episode

·        Revisiting Diana’s famous basement haunting and what’s changed since she sold the house.

·        Her haunted bathroom mirror portal (yes, really) and why some objects refuse to behave.

·        The push-pull between science and spirit—how a Vulcan mathematician dad and a fairy-healer mom made her the perfect paranormal hybrid.

·        When storytelling becomes summoning—can talking about ghosts actually attract them?

·        A deep dive into sleep paralysis, shadow figures, and the line between dream and visitation.

If you like your ghost stories smart, your skeptics funny, and your haunted objects a little too familiar, this one’s for you. It’s an episode about curiosity, fear, and the fine art of not taking eternity too seriously.

So grab your favorite athletic cup and join us, where The Activity Continues.

It’s spooky season and birthday season here at TAC — and we’re celebrating in the most chaotic, heartwarming way possible.

In this special Halloween episode, Amy and Megan catch up after a long break, sharing ghostly stories from Amy's trip to Scotland, featuring an EVP session, haunted antiques, and one very hungry crow. 

Then, fan-favorite guest Leah Evenstar joins to talk about her work as a medium — including what happens when our loved ones (and pets) cross over, and why more people than ever are suddenly sensing the other side.

Highlights

• Amy’s eerie EVP experience from her Scotland trip (and that mysterious “growl”)
• Leah’s moving story about feeling a beloved cat’s spirit after passing
• A look at how the veil seems thinner than ever — and what that means for “accidental mediums”
• Plus: haunted dolls, Ringing ears, vivid dreams, and signs from spirit

So light a candle, grab your favorite Halloween mug, and settle in for laughter, chills, and a little spiritual reflection.

with Beverly McChesney

Beverly is back, and she’s bringing dragons, past lives, and Prince with her. In this episode, we reconnect with Beverly McChesney — a psychic channel, event organizer, and all-around magical being — who last appeared in Episode 134: The Channeler and the Dragon Meister.

We catch up on all the fascinating things Beverly’s been up to since her last visit, including organizing metaphysical markets, channeling spirits (including you know who from Paisley Park), and sharing wisdom from her vivid past life regressions. One of those lives? A swamp-dwelling herbalist named Mama Ruby with serious healing skills and a no-nonsense attitude.

We also dive into:

·        Whether everyone is secretly a medium

·        The difference between being psychic, a medium, and just highly intuitive

·        Protection, energy clearing, and why light is your best defense

·        The myth of attachments and the power of personal vibration

·        The ethics (and scams) in the world of psychics and healers

·        What happened when Beverly visited Prince’s studio... and spoke to him

·        Time slips, ghost kids, and haunted mansions

·        Her gallery readings and traveling witchy bazaars in Kentucky

Plus, we get her advice for how to stay spiritually grounded when the world feels like it’s crumbling.

It’s heartfelt, spooky, occasionally silly, and totally enlightening. This one’s for the woo-curious, the spiritual skeptics, and the ghost-loving weirdos in all of us.

Mentioned in This Episode:

·        Mama Ruby’s Mystic Market events in Kentucky

·        Owensboro’s haunted Cupola mansion

·        Past life regression and hypnotic memory recall

·        Ghost Brothers TV show (and their real-life kindness)

·        The energy of grief and loss in public tragedies

·        Psychic medium Rose Campbell ("Sessions with Spirit")

So, grab your sassy red headphones, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

and the Turd in the Car

Recapping The Dead Files Fatal Attachment (Season 2 Episode 1) which aired August 10, 2012.

This week, TAC digs into one of the most haunting (and surprisingly sweet) early episodes of The Dead Files: Fatal Attachment. A small-town dentist’s office is plagued by strange activity, a sad little girl spirit, and the looming shadow of an abusive father. Amy and Megan unravel the mystery behind Lavina Wall’s tragic story — and discover just how much empathy can tether the living to the dead.

Expect stairwell chills, ghost logs, creepy teddy bears, and yes… The Turd in the Car.

Haunted dentistry, toxic family secrets, and more than a few laughs —

So, grab your radiator moonshine, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Haunted Prison: A Shadow Devil, 1980 Riot Energy, and a Burned Relic

Recapping The Dead Files “Death Sentence” (aka “Prisoner of Shadows”): (Season 1 Episode 19) which aired June 29, 2012.

We review a film shoot inside a decommissioned penitentiary, a whispered “Hey,” a client who took home a souvenir (then… burned it), and Amy & Steve breaking protocol mid-case.

We unpack why prisons hang onto rage, fear, and you-really-shouldn’t-take-that energy.

Expect: shadow-devil vibes, wall-crawlers, portal “holes,” and a reveal where the sketch is meh but the consequences are not.

So grab your stolen hat, and join us where The Activity Continues…

Content warnings

Prison violence (referenced), discussion of the 1980 prison riot, medical distress, demons/attachments. No gore.

Highlights

Why this prison case hits different: protocol break (Amy & Steve meet pre-reveal)

“Don’t take souvenirs from haunted sites” — and definitely don’t burn them

The “Devil Shop” nickname, shadow-devil activity, and that gross basement hole

Sound design tricks (insect buzzing = instant dread) and Exorcist homage vibes

How mob mentality supercharges hauntings long after the riot is over

In this spirited crossover episode, Amy and Megan from The Activity Continues team up with Becky and Diana, the paranormal powerhouses behind Homespun Haints.

We talk ghost stories, unexpected spirit encounters, DIY hauntings, and what it’s really like making spooky podcasts from inside our own haunted corners of the world.

There’s laughter. There’s side-eye. There’s a cello story that will live in podcast infamy. (Sorry, Megan.)

Whether you’re a longtime TAC listener or a curious Haint dropping by for the first time — welcome to the weirdness.

Grab your EMF detector and a strong cup of something witchy. It’s about to get haunted.

Recapping The Dead Files “Dead End” (Season 3 Episode 6) which aired August 28, 2015. 

What’s lurking in the closet? (No, seriously—what is it??) 

What happens when a small-town Missouri home becomes the hunting ground for a shadow man with a serious vendetta? In this episode of The Activity Continues, Amy and Megan recap The Dead Files Season 3, Episode 6: “Dead End” — where the family’s safety is threatened by something very real, very dark… and very interested in their child.

In This Paranormal Parade:

• A shadow man that army-crawls from the closet toward a child (like a demon doing pushups)

• A curtain rod with a vendetta

• Mini-demons that might just be shadow man's sidekicks

• A history of brothels, betrayal, and a sheriff who died of…you guessed it, syphilis

• A skeptical police officer who finally admits: “This house scares the hell out of me”

• Amy Allan doing what she does best: unearthing secrets from the walls — and the past

All in a house with a brutal, confusing, and possibly brothel-adjacent backstory. The energy in this one? Oppressive with a side of 'get out now.'

Get your bingo cards out kids, this one has a lot… and join us where… The Activity Continues.

 A haunted country club, an unsolved murder, and a lot of side-eye at the ‘official story.’

This week, we take a detour from The Dead Files and dip our toes into Kindred Spirits (Season 7, Episode 10): The Country Club Murders. Set at the eerily elegant Black Knight Country Club in Beckley, West Virginia, this episode delivers high paranormal drama, low lighting, and medium-level mediumship.

A couple murdered on Lover’s Lane. A doctor who may or may not have tripped to his death (hi, McCulloch). An explosion beneath the golf course. And Chip Coffey in a skull scarf. What more could you want?

We discuss the hauntings, the history, the residual energy, and yes—the totally not-suspicious husband who was conveniently unaccounted for the night of the murder.

🧐 Let’s be honest we all know: the husband did it (but don’t sue us).

Also in this episode:

·        McCulloch Took a Tumble™

·        We explain how coal becomes Coke (not the fizzy kind)

·        Megan finally learns bullet speeds are not measured in light years

·        Amy wants a medium to isolate EVPs in Audacity like it’s 2008

·        AP drops historical facts like haunted breadcrumbs

Come for the ghostly whispers, stay for the wild speculation. We loved this episode of Kindred Spirits—and we think you will too.

👻 Support us on Patreon for bonus episodes, outtakes, haunted bingo cards, and more at patreon.com/theactivitycontinues

 So, grab your skull scarf (just like Chip’s), and join us where… The Activity Continues.

This is a special bonus episode, which is about an important change in the TAC universe. We recorded this on June 28, the same evening that we recorded the Kindred Spirits episode that will be released on August 21.

I just wanted to release this separately to be sure everyone hears it and is aware so there's no confusion as to what's taking place.

In a nutshell, after two years, we say goodbye to AP. Her presence will be missed but we remain close. 💕

She will tell you in her own words right here.

If you want to stay in touch with AP, you can follow her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/apmn21/

Recapping The Dead Files “Vengeance” (Season 10 Episode 1) which aired July 25, 2015.

This week on The Activity Continues, Megan and Amy dive into The Dead Files episode “Vengeance” set in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

When a woman inherits her family’s beloved restaurant in Albuquerque’s Old Town, she embraces her role as caretaker of both the business and its rich legacy. But after decades of whispers, sightings, and strange activity, they are ready for answers. Who still lingers in the historic building—and why? They’re curious—and concerned about what, if anything, they should be doing for the spirits that still call the place home.

As the team investigates, a dark legacy emerges involving an 1880s lawman with blood on his hands, a furious female spirit from the 1920s, and a violent, lingering energy that's hurting the living.

 Content Warning:

 In this episode there is quite a bit of talk about infant and child death, as well as botched hanging executions, so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

🪦 Topics include:

·        A Wild West marshal with a murderous streak

·        A swirling storm of grief, anger, and illness

·        The line between paranormal activity and undiagnosed medical conditions

·        Shadow figures, swirling energy, and one pissed-off spirit

·        The science and woo behind how energy lingers

💬 Plus: Megan and Amy try to untangle the history, laugh at the absurd bits, and share their own takes on what’s really haunting this historic spot.

Recapping The Dead Files, Season 6, Episode 7: Afflicted (Aired June 13, 2015)

In this powerful 150th episode, Amy and Megan revisit The Dead Files case titled “Afflicted,” where a single mother in Covington, Louisiana, pleads for help as her family is terrorized by a dark, unseen force. Physical attacks, emotional torment, and a terrifying presence have shattered their home—and possibly their lives.

Steve DiSchiavi uncovers a turbulent past filled with addiction, heartbreak, and violent death. Meanwhile, Amy Allan encounters a demon-like entity that thrives on human suffering, especially addiction, and warns that it could claim a soul forever.

🎧 This one’s heavier than usual—we talk about addiction, family breakdown, and the impossible choices a mother must make to protect her children. It’s not our funniest episode, but it might be one of our most important.

🔮 Topics include:

·        Paranormal attachments and addiction demons

·        Generational trauma and haunted land

·        Amy Allan setting boundaries like a queen

·        Soulmates, skepticism, and the reality of recovery

·        Creepy sketches, bad curtain rods, and baseboard heaters

·        Our 150th episode milestone!

We also occasionally do interviews with people from the paranormal world, with the goal of learning from others. We think you’ll really benefit from the things these people have to say.

Sometimes we get a little scientific. We enjoy trying to come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the clients experience. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the clients or are invalidating their experiences. We do believe.

This episode was recorded on June 9, 2025, and released on July 26, 2025.

Well, well, well...if it isn’t the consequences of one’s own actions rearing their heads. At least two people in this story are getting their just desserts.

In this episode, we head to Seattle to revisit one of The Dead Files’ early cases—

This time, Amy and AP dive into "Burned Alive", where a bar owner is dealing with vengeful mist creatures, a bathroom ghost, a possibly syphilitic protector spirit, and a religious woman ghost named Mary whose touch can literally kill you. So, that’s fun.

This Dead Files episode (S5 E7) originally aired June 13, 2015.

We talk about the Merchant Cafe and Saloon—one of Seattle’s oldest bars—and the heavy energy tied to its long, sometimes tragic, history. Highlights include:

• A wine rack catastrophe that even Steve can’t rationalize.
• Some early 2000s mood lighting choices and Top Chef nostalgia.
• Theories about sepsis, pneumonia, and why paranormal illness may not be all that paranormal.
• And yes, the horrifying realities of mob justice in the 1800s. (Spoiler: it’s not the fun kind of mob.)

Also discussed: haunted dolls, ghostly health risks, Empress Gin color science, and a little behind-the-scenes peek on the making of our show.

So grab your shaky lime and haunted barware, and join us—where The Activity Continues.

This week, Amy and Megan dive headfirst into one of the darkest and most disturbing Dead Files episodes yet: Season 10, Episode 1 – “Taken.” Set in Mahwah, New Jersey (which yes, is north of NYC—who knew?!), this case features shadow people, child spirits, and one truly unnerving ghost bear creeping through the house… on tiptoes.

The haunting centers on Jen, her husband Gary, and their four kids. What starts as “we think the house might be haunted” quickly escalates into “multiple demonic entities are trying to possess our children.” It’s heavy, it’s heartbreaking, and somehow we still find time to make jokes about Switzerland, snack breaks, and John Candy.

Topics include:

👻 Ghosts that affect electricity and moods

🐻 A ghost bear that tiptoes like it’s late for bedtime

💀 Historical suicides, tragic mothers, and cursed real estate

🧒 The sweetest possessed teenager you’ve ever met

🕯️ An exorcism plan that includes tar water, Jewish mediums, and annual land blessings

We show what little we know about what languages other countries spoke in the late 1800s.

Content warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics like death by suicide and child death. We handle it gently, but feel free to skip ahead if you need to. Your wellbeing matters.

So grab your ghost-proof teddy bear and a sandwich in case you're just Hungary—and join us where The Activity Continues.

A Haunted Hotel and a Horrible History

🎙️ Revisited: The Palmer House (A Recap of a Recap… of a Haunting?)

In this week’s slightly chaotic, definitely spirited episode of The Activity Continues, your hosts Amy, Megan, and AP revisit one of their earliest episodes: The Palmer House Hotel in Sauk Centre, Minnesota. Originally featured in Season 9 of The Dead Files, this location has long been on our paranormal radar—and not just because of the mixing bowls that take flight or the creepy footsteps echoing down empty hallways.

🌀 Join us as we:

·        Reflect on our very early podcasting days (we’ve come a long way, folks)

·        Share updates and new research on the Palmer House—including tragic and unsettling events not fully explored in the original show

·        Revisit the real history behind the Dakota 38+2 execution and the ongoing memorial rides in Minnesota

·        Debate the presence of residual hauntings, serial killer spirits, and...chaos magicians?

·        Laugh (a lot) and possibly forget our listeners’ names (sorry, Shannon!)

👻 Plus, AP drops some heavy (and necessary) historical truth bombs, we theorize about gangsters on ghost sketches, and Megan finally gets called out for texting like she’s in five conversations at once.

🎧 Whether you’re a die-hard Dead Files fan, a local haunting enthusiast, or just here for our delightful nonsense—this one’s for you.

This is a sample of our Sideshow episodes that go out to Patrons only. This type of conversation used to be rolled into our regular episodes but we decided to cut it out and release only to Patrons. So we wanted to give you a taste of what you’re missing over there.

If this isn’t for you, then you made the right decision.

If you like this type of ADHD rambling and you want to join the Ghosty Fam come on over to Patreon

https://www.patreon.com/theactivitycontinues

This is the sister show to The Activity Continues. Here we just talk about things like current events, things we’ve been up to, shows we’re watching, and other personal stuff.

This week we met just to do a Sideshow and boy did we have trouble staying on topic, or topics. So, you know, the uzsh (or however you’d spell that).

 Things we covered this time: Love on the Spectrum, ADHD brains, grilling day recipes, wild fires up north, Agatha Christie's disappearance, campy horror vs. psychological horror films, and we learn a little about how the a pope is chosen.

So, grab your coloring book, and join us where… The Sideshow begins.

In this special bonus episode, we’re taking a break from our usual recap format and diving into something a little different—and very local. Join Amy, AP, and Megan as we explore some of Minnesota’s most haunted hotspots, packed with gangster lore, underground speakeasies, and a few spirits (of the ghostly kind).

👻 Featured Haunts:

• Wabasha Street Caves (St. Paul): Once a mushroom farm, then a Prohibition-era speakeasy, this sandstone cave system is now a event venue with an eerie past. Expect mobster shootouts, mysterious disappearances, and ghostly swing dancers.
• First Avenue (Minneapolis): From bus depot to rock club, this legendary venue has hosted everyone from Prince to Blue October. But did you know it may also host a legless ghost in the ladies’ room and a spirit named “Flippy” who doesn’t like bar stools out of place?

🕵️‍♀️ We Chat About:

• Gangster ghosts with a soft spot for kids
• Haunted bathrooms and bathroom etiquette (ghost-style)
• Amy’s failed attempt to summon a ghost (but she tried, okay?)
• Dillinger’s pistol, maybe
• How Minneapolis gangsters just wanted to make money while St. Paul’s got a little stabby
• Why prohibition might be responsible for NASCAR
• And yes, somehow it all comes back to mushrooms

📣 Bonus Content:

Amy gives a behind-the-scenes peek at her live show from her other podcast (Volsteadland) and connects the dots between historic gangsters and their haunts.

So, pour yourself some contraband hooch and join us where The Activity Continues.

Thanks for joining us! Don’t forget to rate, review, and tell your weird friends.

Part 2 of our Practical Magic Two-fer

This week we are finishing up our discussion of The Dead Files “Shop of Horrors” (Season 13 Episode 5) which aired August 21, 2021. Episode 144 was the first half, this is the second.

We talked about other things too like walking through spider webs, intention vs perception, and flirting with a ghost.

This episode was split into two because we talked for almost two hours about this case. The reason being that we also covered another show the same clients were on called “A Haunting” so basically, we’re recapping two shows at once! This is part two. Part one was out last week (episode 144).

So, grab your margaritas, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Sometimes we get a little scientific. We enjoy trying to come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the clients experience. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the clients or are invalidating their experiences. We do believe.

We discussed spiders, deer heads, sleepwalking, rearranged furniture, and a brutal bloody battle. Also what was the ghost looking for in Jessica’s bedroom? Was he helping with her book report?

Do you make up words and then stick to them when challenged? We sure do!

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “A Widow’s Revenge” (Season 8 Episode 4) which aired May 27, 2017. 

This week we relearn what it feels like to really like one of the people in the episode, then find out they might not be so great. This time, it's not the clients (we really liked them) but one of the ghosts! Uncle Bob seemed so cool until we found out he's a little pervy. And he hates those curtains.

We talked about how to get your potassium, some ideas for making versatile chicken dishes, and asked the question, can ghosts be narcissistic?

So, grab your Thesaurasus, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention Child death in history (likely SIDS), and really horrible treatment of enslaved people. Also, we swear, so don’t listen with your kids in the car unless you’re cool with that.

In this episode of The Activity Continues, host Amy and her co-hosts welcome Brittany Baxter Damron, a mental health therapist with insights into mediumship and paranormal phenomena.

Brittany discusses her therapeutic approaches, such as EMDR and ego state parts work, and how they relate to understanding and processing trauma. She also connects these methods to episodes of 'The Dead Files,' exploring concepts like PK manifestations, possession, and the influence of energy on mental and spiritual health.

The conversation touches on various aspects of psychology, spirituality, and shared personal experiences, aiming to provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the integration between these realms.

This is surely one of our more scienc-y episodes but we still have a great time and a lot of laughs. AND we do connect this to The Dead Files!

So, grab your crystals, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

And remember, neurons that fire together, wire together!

We didn’t find anything we thought deserved a content warning, except that we use colorful language.

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Absorbed” (Season 11 Episode 12) which aired September 26, 2019.

We got another Dream Property here, as well as a vortex. This one is a horse farm on land that is trying to swallow one of the owners. We learn of a religious zealot, the Hermit on Holy Hill, and some sketchy history that makes no damn sense.

We also talked about our recent dreams and offer tips on what to do if you get stuck in quicksand.

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Battlefield” (Season 2 Episode 23) which aired June 21, 2013.

We also talked about exorcisms, autopsies, and demons (oh my!). We came up with a new name for a herd of bunnies and worried about things slithering under the bed.

So, grab your beverage of choice, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention Children being harmed by an entity, child death in history, indigenous conflict in history (as usual) so trigger warning for those who need it.

Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. Our recaps are full of reoccurring jokes about reoccurring tropes.

This week we sat down with Beverly McChesney, Universal Channeler, Reiki Master, and psychic. She came to us through Spirit Mechanix and we’ve been so looking forward to speaking with her.

We talked about so many fun things: Healing, gratitude, animal communication, and past lives. She also shares a manifestation secret!

She also talked about how she knew she had abilities (poor Tammy), her time at a horse farm, and her husband the Dragon Meister!

So, grab a chili dog, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Note: AP was unable to join us for this one.

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention pregnancy, miscarriage and abortion briefly. Also deaths of family pets (old age, and hit by vehicle) so trigger warning for those who need it. We didn’t even swear much because we didn’t tell Beverly head of time that she could. So we were pretty good for most of it.

The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. Our recaps are full of reoccurring jokes about reoccurring tropes.

We also occasionally do interviews with people from the paranormal world, with the goal of learning from others. We think you’ll really benefit from the things these people have to say.

Sometimes we get a little scientific. We enjoy trying to come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the clients experience. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the clients or are invalidating their experiences. We do believe.

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “The Uninvited” (Season 9 Episode 6) which aired March 10, 2018. We also talked about heart issues, Steve’s empathy, and confusing storytelling.

Also, the word of the day is Dubious, and we got the appendix part wrong! (It’s on the right side.)

Thank you for listening, take care of yourselves. We’ll see you in two weeks!

Do you remember last year when I accidentally released an episode a week early? So all of you that are set to auto download got it in your feeds before I could pull it off?

Well, I did it again. So for all of you auto downloaders, you’re welcome, this was a little thank you gift.

The episode called Brothels, Gambling and Saloons, Oh My! will be out January 30th

This week is a Patreon only release where we post a bonus episode to our Patrons that is maybe a little less Dead Files related and a little more unhinged. You’re familiar with our ADHD tangents and this Sideshow is basically that on uppers. The whole episode is just us shooting the shit. So if you would like to hear those episodes, come on over to Patreon and join our ghosty fam. We’d love to see you over there.

Here are a couple of clips from recent Sideshow episodes. We hope you enjoy!

This is our 2025, Season Six Premiere!

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Hotel Hell” (Season 1 Episode 5) which aired October 28, 2011.

We really liked this episode, it was super fun looking back on the old way of doing things, way back in Season 1 of The Dead Files. We debated whether ghosts are transparent or not, compared film vs video, and pondered whether Amy Allan actually saw a different spirit than what was said in the episode. Amy Allan, please let us know!

So, grab your hair goop, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

This time we are discussing The Dead Files “The Aftermath” (Season 4 or 5 depending on the platform) which aired July 12, 2014. We also talked about Hurricane Andrew and other weather events. We veered off a little on TV shows and examined some Zombie D pics.

aka AP Sh*ts on Megan’s Jokes

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “The Watcher” (Season 11 Episode 3) which aired July 25, 2019. But of course, that’s not all. We go off on quite a long tangent about the lesser known but well-loved soap opera “Passions”, and AP gives us a few Science Lessons such as Cyclones vs Tornados and Hay Vs. Straw.

So, mix up yourself a Martimmy, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

PS: Yes we know that the Haggis is not actually an animal.

Content Warning:

In this episode we mention some bunny casualties, stroke, tornados/cyclones, homicide, and suicide so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

We get a little scientific in this one, and even more so than usual, come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the family experiences. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the family or are invalidating their experiences. We believe.

This week we sat down with Jenny, psychic to the stars…of this podcast. If you’ve listened to us for a while you have probably heard us talk about Jenny. She’s the psychic that we three visited for a group reading. In that reading we learned that we have shared many lifetimes together.

In this episode we talk a little about that (and some WILD stuff comes up) but we also talk about gifts and abilities that we all have (“all” including YOU), animal totems, numerology, and listening to your Spirit Guides.

Jenny also enlightens us on how past lives affect our current lives and how NOT to be afraid because of past life trauma or drama.

This is an episode you don’t want to miss. We learned so much! So gather a cozy blanket and a cup of tea and join us where The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

In this episode we discuss fears and phobias such as drowning and bridges. But Jenny will give you some wonderful insight about how not to let those fears rule your life.

We didn’t find anything else we thought deserved a content warning, we didn’t even swear…that much.

The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about pets, true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. We also sometimes interview interesting people, whether it be a paranormal professional, a Dead Files client, or a listener with spooky stories.

This episode was recorded on October 7, 2024, and released on November 21, 2024.

This week we sat down with Jennifer Page from the “I Talk to Ghosts” podcast. She’s a professional spirit medium and spooky podcaster. We had a great conversation about medium readings, tarot, honing your abilities, dealing with skeptics, divine inspiration, and of course pets. We learn how to tell our analytical brain, “I love you, but shut up.”

Pour yourself some Spooky Tea and join us where The Activity Continues.

This episode is hosted by just the Amys. Megan will be back next week.
