168: Conflicting Stories & Missing Pieces (Death Valley #2)

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 05:01:29 +0000

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.

167: Something’s Wrong in Death Valley Junction (Death Valley #1)

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 05:01:24 +0000

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.

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

166: Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker Headache (Ohio Series #3)

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 05:01:00 +0000

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.

165: Bat Faces & Baby Bellies (Ohio Series #2)

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 05:01:55 +0000

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.

164: Tangled Vines and Tar Water (Ohio Series #1)

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 06:01:43 +0000

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.

163: Organized Jellyfish in Egg Haba

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 06:01:56 +0000

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.

162: Fifty Bad Dead People…in the Middle of Nowhere

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 06:01:53 +0000

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.

161: Am I Crazy? Or Is This a Cover-Up?

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 06:01:58 +0000

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.

160: Year-End Shenanigans: TAC 2025 Wrap Up

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 06:01:05 +0000

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.

Content Warning:

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

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

We also occasionally do interviews with people from the metaphysical world, as well as Dead Files clients.

159: Panic at the Disco, Panic in the Hallway

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 06:01:18 +0000

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.

158: Specters, Skeptics, and Sleep Paralysis

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 06:01:51 +0000

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.

Our Spooktacular LIVE Birthday Bash

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 06:01:34 +0000

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.

157: Purple Rain & Paranormal Vibes

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 05:01:07 +0000

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.

156: Staircase of Sorrow

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 05:01:05 +0000

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.

Content Warning:

In this episode we mention domestic abuse. Also, we swear.

155: The Devil’s Shop

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 05:01:49 +0000

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

154: Haints Misbehavin’ (with Homespun Haints)

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 05:01:14 +0000

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.

153: The Shadow Creeper

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 05:01:28 +0000

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.

152: White Collars Black Lungs

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 05:00:12 +0000

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.

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

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

We also occasionally do interviews with people from the metaphysical world, as well as Dead Files clients.

Bonus: A Heartfelt Sendoff

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 05:00:33 +0000

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/

151: Hanged, Haunted, and Hella Pissed

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 08:00:25 +0000

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.

👻 So grab your emotional support wicker furniture and join us where… The Activity Continues.

150: Demons of Addiction

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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!

So, grab your non-alcoholic beverage, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

📌 Trigger warning: We discuss addiction, drug and alcohol use, emotional trauma, and family breakdown. Please listen with care.

149: The Merchant of Misery

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

148: New Jersey Nightmares

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

147: Revisited: The Palmer House

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

TAC Sideshow 32: It All Comes Back to Clowns

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

This episode was recorded on May 12, 2025 and released on May 13 to Patrons, June 5^th to the public.

146: The Haunted Minnesota Files

Thu, 29 May 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

145: Spirit Junkies Part 2

Thu, 22 May 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

140: A Thesaurusus for Steve

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

139: Movie Madhouse

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +0000

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Madhouse” (Season 5 Episode 11) which aired July 18, 2015.

We also talked about back when you could gift your wife to someone, went off on a little tangent about our current favorite show, “School Spirits, and sang a few songs (Scalla Moo!)

Even thought Amy lit her “No Tech Goblins Stick” we still had some weird glitches that we left in so you can determine if it’s internet issues, or true Tech Goblins. Please let us know!

So, grab your Bingo Cards, and join us where… The Activity Continues. WOW!

And remember Megan’s Motto: Keep Your Bladder Goin’.

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

This episode was recorded on March 17, 2025, and released on April 10, 2025.

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.

137: Complex Creatures in a Complex World (with Brittney Baxter Dameron)

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

We also occasionally do interviews with people from the metaphysical world, as well as Dead Files clients.

This episode was recorded on February 24, 2025 and released on April 10, 2025.

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

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

134: The Channeler and the Dragon Meister (Beverly McChesney)

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +0000

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.

January Announcement

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 18:40:30 +0000

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 30^th

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!

131: People Comin Outta the Walls!

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +0000

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:

In this episode we mention suicide, and even have a short little true crime talk. Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

130: Back to Attachments

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

This is our last episode of 2024.

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.

So, leave behind your Current Emotional Muck, pour some shots and be ready to take one each time Megan mentions TikTok, and join her, Amy and Smirky Piersak where… The Activity Continues.

Remember, never waive an inspection.

Content Warning:

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

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 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 November 18, 2024, and released on December 19, 2024.

129: Cyclones of Passions

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

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 episode was recorded on November 3, 2024, and released on December 5, 2024.

128: Enjoy the Journey (A Chat with Psychic Jenny)

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +0000

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.

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

123: Spirit Hotels & the Afterlife Journey (Erika Anderson)

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we sat down with Erika Anderson. She is a Spiritual Medium and a delightful human.

We explore Erika's experiences and teachings in mediumship, including her masterclass, and discuss spiritual connections with animals, personal spiritual practices, and blending Christian faith with Wicca.

The discussion highlights the healing effects of nature and meditation, addresses audience questions about spirit communication and reincarnation, and shares insights on handling grief and soul essence.

Erika reflects on overcoming trauma, connecting with the divine, and the universal interconnectedness of spiritual beliefs.

…we also discussed talking to trees.

Brew yourself a nice cozy beverage and join us where The Activity Continues.

In this episode we mention (very briefly, with no details) the near death of a child. So content warning for those who need it. Also, we swear, but just a little.

122: The Client Files: Diane

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we met with Diane, the client from The Dead Files episode “Devil’s Triangle” (Season 11 Episode 9). We covered it in our episode called "An Ocean Full of Oysters" which aired July 4, 2024.

She told us all about why she “called” the Dead Files, how the filming went, her impressions of Amy and Steve, and the aftermath. Diane also recounts her haunted childhood home, experiences with a ghost named Harry, and the support from Amy Allan to cleanse her tattoo shop.

Plus, if you watch the video episode, you'll see her new puppy!

So, grab your “oysters” and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Our friend Zoey Sutcliffe joined us for a nice chat. She told us about her first paranormal experiences and how she honed her abilities. We also learn about auras, the power of water, the spirits she lives with now, and Thomas the spirit who had a message for his widow. She even read some Tarot for us as well as telling us about our auras.

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

120: Straight Outta Stephen King

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 05:00:00 +0000

Chilly Chat No. 3

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Arctic Wrath” (Season 1 Episode 21) which aired July 19, 2012.

This episode had a lot of similarities to Stephen King stories which two out of three of us really like. We also had fun roasting Dusty McGee.

We talked about the overuse of the word “elderly”, what we read on the toilet before cell phones, and we imagined polar bears vacationing in the Hot Springs.

So, grab your Frozen Hot Chocolate, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

119: Atheist Ghosts and Dinosaur Pee

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 05:00:00 +0000

Chilly Chat No.2

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Dark Inheritance” (Season 3 Episode 14) which aired January 31, 2014.

In this discussion we learned the difference between a physical medium and a mental medium. We commiserate with Amy Allan for the obvious pain she was in while going through the walk. We also learned the difference between a Mental Medium and a Physical Medium.

We even had an import debate: Anti-Bean vs Bring on the Beans in chili.

So, grab your hard coffee or shower beer, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Chilly Chat No.1

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Never Alone” (Season 2 Episode 11) which aired January 31, 2013.

We also talked about legend tropes, light switches, and a town of vampires since no one there has died since 1892. We also share a short little possible ghosty story from a Patron.

117: An Ocean Full of Oysters

Thu, 04 Jul 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we are dissecting The Dead Files “Devil’s Triangle” (Season 11 Episode 9) which aired September 5, 2019. This one confused us too since the three main entities are similar and we struggled with which ghost matched which man in history!

We also talked about depression, demons, syphilis and selling your soul for riches.

And what happened when a cop didn’t pay for his oysters.

We also do a thought experiment on what it might be like to do a group project with Steve. (this is merely a joke we just expanded on, we don’t really think Steve would be a slacker in a group project—in case you’re listening, Steve). Megan also does her best-yet impersonation of Steve’s accent.

So, leave your syphilis in the drawing room, grab your beverage of choice, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

In this episode we mention suicide by gunshot, mental illness, specifically depressions and bipolar disorder, so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

116: Everything Circles Back to Pee

Thu, 20 Jun 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Drained” (Season 8 Episode 12) which aired September 9, 2017. To say that this episode confused us is an understatement.

We discussed peeing when you don't mean to, psychic vampires, horror films, and series of threes. We also learn what an organic witch is and we disagree on what the term “gravely” means.

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Evil Descends” (Season 9 Episode 8) which aired April 1, 2018. This time you get just the OGs as AP was out for a family adventure.

We did talk for about 20 minutes before we officially started. To hear that come on over to our Patron or check our YouTube Channel.

In this episode we discuss a brutal murder, more Native American atrocities, and extreme religion, so warning for those who need it.

Summary:

The hosts share their insights on the episode's plot, which includes the troubling experiences of Rebecca, the main subject, who is targeted by a shadow person and a demonic entity due to interactions with a Ouija board, primarily influenced by her boyfriend, Mike. They discuss various aspects of the case, including the impact of fracking near Rebecca's home, and historical context related to a deadly car crash and a brutal murder from the 1800s.

The hosts express skepticism towards Mike's role and his assertions. Throughout, they blend humor, serious analysis, and concern for the well-being of the individuals involved. The episode ends on a note of empathy for Rebecca's ongoing struggle against the malevolent forces haunting her.

Content Warning:

This episode is a little heavy. There is talk of suicide/suicidal thoughts, depression, murder, and sexual assault. There’s mention of recent loss of spouse so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

113: Unfiltered Perspectives and $12.99 Demons

Thu, 23 May 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we depart from our usual format of interviews and recaps, opting instead for a freewheeling chat about various topics. We reflect on the season's activities including personal anecdotes. We also share updates on our experiences with past podcast guests and episodes, discussing the impact of these stories on both the subjects involved and ourselves.

We also talked about our visit to Dustin Pari’s show 'Ghosts: Do You Believe?' and share thoughts on Ouija boards, among other paranormal topics. Throughout the episode, we engage with a mix of light-hearted banter and more serious reflections on the experiences shared with you!

Grab your Ouija board* and join us where The Activity Continues.

*just kidding, leave the No-No Board right where it is

112: Interview with the Spirit Mechanix (Laminators and Shifters)

Thu, 16 May 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we sat down with team members from the paranormal group Spirit Mechanix. We were so excited to talk to them and they were so fun and so informative.

For those who don’t know, Spirit Mechanix is one of the teams that Amy Allan would send out to The Dead Files clients when they needed help removing entities and what not.

Steve, Patricia, and Raymond gave us some insight into a couple of the Dead Files cases they did, including the Barone family who we just spoke to last week.

We also nerded out about the joy of laminating important documents. We just instantly loved this crew and we’re sure you will as well.

Pour yourself some adult beverages and join us where The Activity Continues.

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

110: Full-Sized Dummies (Interview with History Goes Bump)

Thu, 02 May 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we sat down with Diane and Kelly from History Goes Bump. Hopefully you caught their episode from March 12, 2024 where they were kind enough to invite us to hang with them on their show.

We stayed up past our bedtimes discussing haunted paintings, ghost cows, scary bridges, history ghost tours, and April Fool’s pranks.

Fun fact of the week: If you put house spiders outside to “save” them, you are actually killing them.

Grab yourselves some M&Ms (be sure they’re not Skittles) and join us where The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

In this episode we told some ghost stories which involved both children and dogs being killed. Otherwise, it was pretty clean. Not even much swearing!

108: Internal Upgrades with Leah Marie Evenstar

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 05:00:00 +0000

This week we sat down with Leah Marie Evenstar. She told us all about her recent trip to London, Bali, Thailand, and Viet Nam. It is such an inspirational trip and she’s passed that onto us, along with some travel tips for people (especially women) traveling alone.

We talked about how to protect yourself when entering a space where there is negative energy (including spirits), synchronicities (there are no coincidences) and how this trip changed her perspective on many things. She reminded us to always be open to being pleasantly surprised.

Pour yourself some tea and join us where The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

This episode is 99% light-hearted, uplifting messages. But we discuss the Viet Nam war, especially the monk’s protest which is a bit disturbing, so skip ahead when we get there if you don’t want to know about it. We don’t go too in-depth. We didn’t even swear too much in this one.

This episode was recorded on March 18, 2024 and released on April 18, 2024.

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “The Bone Collector” (Season 13 Episode 4) which aired August 13, 2021. We also talked about PK abilities, shadow people, vortexes, and giving serial killers more descriptive names.

This is a general content warning, many of the episodes of the TV show talk about murders, some even involving children. So that may come up in our conversation as well. So please proceed with that in mind. But if you already watch The Dead Files you’ll be prepared.

103: Ghosts Gone Wild: Key West

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 05:00:00 +0000

In this week’s spring break episode we are discussing The Dead Files “Killed by the Klan” (Season 1 Episode 7) which aired November 11, 2011. We pondered if the Klan dare eat spaghetti or lasagna in their white robes, which led to the creation of our new favorite pasta, Spagania. We also talked about kitchen reiki, voodoo curses, and there were more impersonations of Steve.

Remember, we’re not experts, we just act like we are.

Content Warning:

In this episode we mention racism, torture, and murder so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

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

102: Ghosts Gone Wild: Los Angeles

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +0000

This is the first installment in our Spring Break Series, Ghosts Gone Wild.

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “The Deadly Picture Show” (Season 13 Episode 12) which aired October 2, 2021.

We also talked about cults, twiddling knobs, wing walkers, inanimate objects with human faces, and Amy L did a spot on impersonation of Steve. We also talked about cooking mishaps. Yeah, we goofed off a lot.

NOTE: This is the NO FLUFF version, which actually still has a ton of Fluff. But I did cut out 17 minutes of us yammering about stuff before we even said “hello”. If you want the whole thing, come over to Patreon and join us for the behind the scenes stuff.

Content Warning:

In this episode we mention an airplane crash, murder by shooting, so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

So, grab your favorite oatmeal cookie (with raisins or without), hop in the car, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

This episode was recorded on February 12, 2024 and released on March 7, 2024.

101: The Client Files: Kayli

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +0000

This week we met up with Kayli who is the client from The Dead Files episode called “Darkness Rises” (Season 11 Episode 1) which aired July 9, 2019.

Join us while we learn more about what it was like to have The Dead Files in your home. Kayli has some fun (and some maddening) behind-the-scenes stories, such as Amy telling her there is something lurking in her neighborhood, and when one of the producers learned he wasn’t alone in the closet during the shoot. She also answers a question many of you have asked about Amy on her walks.

She fills us in a bit on how the “Tiny Supernova” is doing too.

Note: this is also the TDF episode that we covered in our Season Premiere, episode 93. So, if you want to go listen to that first, that might be helpful. Then join us in the basement for a concert with the dead.

This week we are celebrating our 100^th episode! We all met at Amy’s house and made cocktails and just enjoyed seeing each other in person for the first time in 3 months! So we’ve edited together just the moments when we talked about The Dead Files (with a few side tangents, but not to the extent that we actually did IRL).

We did a debrief of our conversation with Dead Files client, Laura Lane (episode 99) too. So if you haven’t listened to that one yet, do that before you click play here. There are spoilers a plenty!

If you’re interested in the FULL version, please head over to Spotify, YouTube or Patreon to watch the whole shit show.

The Dead Files episode we talked about is “Family Curse” S2 E7 on Max. Original air date: December 21, 2012.

We hope you enjoy it. Pour yourself a French 75 and join us for a sparkling wine-enhanced episode where The Activity Continues.

99: The Client Files: Laura

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +0000

This week we sat down with Laura Lane. She is the client from The Dead Files “Bound” Season 4 Episode 10.

She dropped some super amazing truth bombs about her experience on the Dead Files. Some of it we suspected and some of it blew us away! If you had strong feeling about “Bound” when you watched it, we highly recommend listening to this one. You will be surprised to learn what really happened.

We talked about the way the show has changed over the years. Laura told us about her mediumship and how she has developed since Amy Allan told her she has abilities.

Laura was amazing, we adore her and are so appreciative of her taking the time to join us.

And remember, don’t judge the client by the cut.

You’re going to hear two censor beeps, that was when Laura mentioned some family members’ names and we cut it.

Shake yourself up a Laura Lane signature cocktail (recipe courtesy of Pourhouse 222) and join us where The Activity Continues.

93: Little Tiny Supernova

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Episode 93: Little Tiny Supernova (season 5 premiere)

This week we are dissecting The Dead Files “Darkness Rises” (Season 11 Episode 1) which aired July 9, 2019.

We also talked about more Hallmark and holiday movies we’ve watched, spinsters, short people, a child serial killer, and the pros and cons of rearranging your sock drawer.

We discussed how looking back we really feel the show misrepresented Amy Allan in the last season. So once again we plead with Amy to come on and tell her side; or just come on and shoot the shit.

Pour yourself some hot cocoa (without rat poison) and join us when The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

In this episode we discuss child death in history, a child serial killer, police interrogation, and death by poison; so warning for those who need it.

Also, while Amy, Cindy, 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 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 December 6, 2023 and released on January 4, 2024.

The Activity Continues Season Five Trailer

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 06:00:00 +0000

The Activity Continues podcast has a common theme: paranormal discussion and exploration.

The show is hosted by three friends and "soul sisters": Amy Lotsberg, Amy Piersak, and Megan Simmons. They primarily dissect episodes of the TV show "The Dead Files," offering humorous and insightful commentary, personal anecdotes, and discussions about related topics like true crime, ghost stories, and paranormal encounters.

The Activity Continues is a podcast focused on all things paranormal. While the format has evolved over time, here's a general breakdown of what you can expect:

Recaps

Each recap episode features a deep dive of a specific episode, with the hosts analyzing Steve DiSchiavi's investigation and Amy Allan's psychic intuitions.

The hosts share their own insights, interpretations, theories, and opinions on the cases, often adding humor and personal anecdotes to the discussion.

Other topics

The show also delves into various topics related to the paranormal and supernatural. This includes true crime stories with supernatural elements, personal ghost encounters, discussions about haunted locations, and dreams.

The show also features listener-submitted audio recordings of potentially haunted locations, EVPs (electronic voice phenomena), and other strange happenings. The hosts analyze the recordings and share their interpretations, adding a layer of mystery and suspense.

Interviews

The hosts often invite guests, such as paranormal investigators, authors, or experts in related fields, and even former clients of "The Dead Files" to share their insights and experiences.

They also feature stories from people with compelling personal experiences.

These episodes offer fresh perspectives and insights into the world beyond the veil.

Overall

The Activity Continues is a mix of entertainment and information, catering to fans of "The Dead Files" and anyone interested in the paranormal. It's lighthearted and friendly, with plenty of laughs and personal touches, while also delving into the fascinating and sometimes unsettling world of unexplained phenomena.

Lighthearted Fun

Despite dealing with spooky topics, the hosts maintain a lighthearted and humorous tone, making the podcast enjoyable and engaging. They often share funny anecdotes, banter with each other, and interact with listeners through calls and emails.

Community Building

They actively foster a sense of community among listeners, creating a safe space for sharing personal experiences and discussing the paranormal. They encourage listener interaction through social media, email, and even a dedicated voicemail line.

Holiday Traditions and Hallmark Movies

Wow we really goofed off on this one! We talked a good 30 minutes before we even welcomed you. Don’t worry, we cut a lot of that. The intro is at about 15 minutes in. This would be one where you can just let it play and barely pay attention. You’re welcome, and happy holidays.

Content Warning:

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

We talk about pets, true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other creepy paranormal shit and sometimes we interview really cool people.

Bonus: Introducing Volsteadland

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 06:00:00 +0000

Hi friends, Amy here. As you know we are off for a few weeks, to return on January 4th. But I wanted to give you a little something to listen to and or think about while you wait.

As you may know I have another podcast called Volsteadland. It’s all about the seedy underworld (aka mafia) that was Minneapolis, MN in the 1920s and 30s.

When I was researching this story all I kept thinking is that this needs to be an HBO series (or Netflix or any other network who can produce a quality show).

Who would have thought that little old Minneapolis could have such amazing stories in its history?

So I’m going to play for you, the first episode of Volsteadland which is an intro to the show, then the next episode right after that.

If you’re interested in the rest of the story, you can find Volsteadland on any podcast app.

I hope you enjoy it.

Happy Holidays and we’ll see you in 2024.

Volsteadland is a podcast about the seedy underworld of the 1920s and 30s in Minneapolis, focusing on notorious mobster Isadore Blumenfeld, a.k.a. Kid Cann. Launching summer 2021.

This episode is about Blumenfeld's early years. A look at his humble beginnings, before he ruled the streets of Minneapolis.

Video version of this episode: Early Years: https://youtu.be/DoiqK64okQo

Transcript of this episode: https://www.podpage.com/volsteadland/blog/transcript-episode-2-the-early-years/

if you or your parents, grandparents, etc. have any stories, folklore, or anything really, on Isadore Blumenfeld, aka Kid Cann please let me know. we’d love to get in touch and chat about it or use your story in the podcast. Anonymous of course, unless you want credit!

Phone: ‪(612) 424-1684‬ (leave voicemail or text)

91: Season 4 Wrap Party!

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 06:00:00 +0000

This week we are talking about the past year and the past season of our show. We welcome new Patrons Shannon, and Lyn & Liz, and we have a possible EVP for you to listen to as well.

We also talked about Amy’s Scotland trip, along with travel tips; AP explains the types of cattle and by the end we turn this into a food podcast.

And remember: “If everything worked 100% of the time, you’d never learn a damn thing.”

Content Warning:

If you listen to this show because you want to hear only talk of The Dead Files this one probably isn’t for you. We do talk about the Dead Files a bit but it’s not until 45 minutes in. But we do speculate on a new season of the show.

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

The Activity Continues is a podcast where soul sisters, Amy and Megan usually chat about the TV show, The Dead Files. Our other soul sister Amy (AP) keeps us in check with facts, figures, and other fun things. We talk about pets, true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other creepy paranormal shit and sometimes we interview really cool people. Whether it be a paranormal professional, a Dead Files client, or a friend with cool stories.

So, grab your beverage of choice, hop in the car, don’t worry, Steve’s driving, and join us when… The Activity Continues.

This week we are recapping the episode of The Dead Files called “Imprisoned” (Season 15 Episode 10) which aired September 28, 2023. We also talked about the repetitive things we’re seeing on the show this season, gin, and a three-humped blob. Also, Megan does her Rodney Dangerfield impression.

Content Warning!:

This one is a doozy! This episode incudes: sexual assault (adults and children), kidnapping, murder, torture, and reproductive challenges. Also, at about 53 minutes in, we talked briefly about lethal injection.

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

So, grab your beverage of choice, hop in the car, don’t worry, Steve’s driving, and join us when… The Activity Continues.

Thu, 07 Sep 2023 05:00:00 +0000

*Note, this one was recorded in person, so the sound is a little wonky in some spots. Shoutout to Adobe Enhance for making it sound a lot better than it was!*

This week we are bringing you more Listener Stories! We have two stories: AP’s friend Kevin tells a story about a stormy night in an old hunting lodge in South Dakota.

And new listener Eddie (Welcome Eddie!) tells us about his experiences in his sister’s apartment in an old home in Pittsburgh, PA. Both of the stories concern bathroom ghosts!

We also talked about Midwestern Goodbyes, the Minnesota State Fair aka The Great Minnesota Get Together, and overrated cookies. We ponder why ghosts turn lights on and off.

Content Warning:

We didn’t find anything we thought deserved a content warning, except that we use colorful language. Lots of “shit” talk.

78: Interview with an Intuitive (Kirsten Langston)

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 05:00:00 +0000

This week we sat down with Kirsten Langston, an intuitive, tarot card reader, and medium.

Kirsten comes from a long line of gifted psychics and healers. Her unique skills allow her to fulfill her desire to help people, spread joy and make the world a better place. No matter what her medium, her goal is to spread knowledge, love, and joy as far and wide as she can.

A self-proclaimed Complete Weirdo, she is hilarious and has great stories, from the “Dog Shit Lady” to her “Bigfoot Situation”. She tells us about the time the spirit of Delores O’Riordan set her kitchen on fire. We’re pretty sure that after this you’ll want to join in on her Drunk Tarot readings.

77: Interview with a Shaman (Leah Evenstar)

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 05:00:00 +0000

This week we have a very special guest. Through our friend, Abductee Mary, we found a lovely Shaman! That’s right, in this episode we are talking to Leah Marie Evenstar who is a real-life Shaman. She’s also a psychic and a medium so we really hit the jackpot!

We had such a lovely conversation about many things like healing trauma, animal totems, full moon rituals and even dating apps. We also talked about the virtues of the Midwest, even though it’s stinkin’ hot here right now.

We had so much fun talking about all the above that we didn’t even get to her psychic abilities and mediumship. So we will definitely have her back on again.

She offers some amazing classes and events so please check out her website and sign up for something. Even if you’re not in the Twin Cities (MN, USA) area, as she does a lot of things via Zoom.

Who knew a Shaman could also serve as a life coach or therapist? She’s just a lovely human and I know you all will adore her as much as we do.

Content Warning:

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

PLEASE NOTE: all of our speculations about Amy’s leaving are just that…Speculation. We do not know exactly what went down on The Dead Files. We are just guessing based on what clients have told us, and what we’ve seen on Amy’s social media posts. This is a FORMAL invitation for Amy Allan to come on the show and tell us her side of the story.

Content Warning:

In the recap portion does contain mention of traumatic brain injury (TBI) so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

73: The Client Files: Traci Part 2

Thu, 13 Jul 2023 05:00:00 +0000

This week we have a nice treat for you! This is part two of a great interview, with Traci, the client from the most recent episode of The Dead Files “Killer Smile” (Season 15 Episode 5) which aired June 29, 2023.

We had a great time talking to her and the whole interview ended up being over 2 hours so I split it into two. I really didn’t edit out much at all. But if you have not already listened to part one, you will want to go back and do that before diving into this one. It is episode 72 of The Activity Continues. So go ahead and do that if you haven’t already and then come back. We hope you enjoy our interview with Traci.

We talked more about Catherine, reasons for Amy’s departure, and how the show sometimes drops the ball getting people the help they deserve. Traci tells us more about how things went after the show people left. We also talk about Charleston, firefighters (her husband David is one). She spilled a little tea on the “chemistry” between Amy and Steve.

We all chat about how bummed we are that they didn’t do anything for Amy’s last episode.

If you watch the video version you will even see something that looks like an ORB in Megan and Amy P’s screen.

Also, this one has almost no swears in it! Traci is a proper southern woman who doesn’t swear like a sailor (like we do) so we altered ourselves too. It was hard. You may even hear Megan say “baloney!”

72: The Client Files: Traci Part 1

Thu, 06 Jul 2023 05:00:00 +0000

This week we have a nice treat for you! We had a great interview, with Traci, the client from the most recent episode of The Dead Files “Killer Smile” (Season 15 Episode 5) which aired June 29, 2023.

We are splitting this episode up into two parts because it’s very long and because there is no Dead Files episode airing July 13^th so we wouldn’t have anything to cover for our episode releasing on the 20^th.

To say the show only covered the tip of the iceberg is an understatement. Traci has still has issues at the house, but she’s learned how to deal with some of it (like the mood swings) but stuff is still happening to a dangerous point.

She tells us more about her experiences, and a little behind the scenes stuff too.

Also, this one has no swears in it! Traci is a proper southern woman who doesn’t swear like a sailor so we altered ourselves too. It was hard. You may even hear Megan say “baloney!”

Aka The One that Didn’t Record

*Audio warning: this week’s episode has terrible sound quality because when Amy thought she was hitting the record button on Riverside, she was not. So what you’re hearing is the backup that was recorded on Amy’s phone.*

This week we are talking about the most recent episode of The Dead Files “Head Games” (Season 15 Episode 4) which aired June 22, 2023. Join us as we drink Snoop Dog sparkling wine, and talk about spooky TV shows, old soap operas, The Danny DeVito Factor, and how disappointed we are in society. You know, light stuff like that. Don’t worry, we do laugh a lot too.

TV show Evil, and the cast member’s name we couldn’t remember is Michael Emerson. The show Amy was trying to think of is Person of Interest.

Content Warning:

In the recap portion does contain mention of racism, sexual assault. So, trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

64: Dramatics at the Inn

Fri, 12 May 2023 05:05:00 +0000

This week Amy is recapping “Double Jeopardy” which is from Season 4 Episode 7 of The Dead Files. This one involved the Glen Tavern Inn and its owner who is obsessed with the property.

Note: Megan’s mic was turned around again, so if the sound is tinny for you, just wait a little, it clears up. About 16 minutes in.

We talk about Amy’s sweet little puppy murdering a rabbit, a new ghost story, and there’s an update on the Bathroom portal. Amy’s friend’s crazy ass dream. We also discuss being Blair Witched by a TikTok user and one way Amy can be lured into a van (and it’s not with a puppy).

Shout-out to a young filmmaker, Kelin Grant, who is trying to raise some funds for his new horror film.

62: Leave Mine Alone

Fri, 21 Apr 2023 05:00:00 +0000

This week Amy is recapping “Evil Comes Home” which is from Season 11 Episode 6 of The Dead Files.

Content Warning: Serial abduction, rape, and murder, dismemberment, suicide by hanging (in history). Amy talks about a friend who passed by drowning. Also, we swear.

We also talk about Amy Allan in an old TV show and we speculate on the future of The Dead Files. We also talked about a LOT of other stuff. Ghosts chasing people up the stairs. Staying in the Overlook (Stanley) hotel. Can a ghost be in two places at once?

Do you lock the door to keep out the murderers, or unlock it so you can get away from the ghosts?

It should not come as a shock to any of our listeners, that we did not stay on track very well at all. This was a lesson in stream of consciousness conversations.

There was some discrepancy in this one related to what Amy Allan saw and who the show decided these ghosts were.

We also talked about TV shows we’re digging, authors we like, some paranormal or at least mystical stuff that happened to us in the past week, and Megan’s damn laptop camera going goofy again (title of your sex tape---just kidding title of Megan’s memoir).

We get existential about Exit Points for a bit...

We also lightly touched on the hubbub in the paranormal world with people speaking out about a particular investigator. The things we said are OUR opinions only!

58: Residual Fear

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 05:00:00 +0000

This week Amy is recapping “Hotel Nowhere” which is Season 2 Episode 21 of The Dead Files. This guy, we do not mince words with him. Amy tells a personal ghost story, her Ring light got brighter when no one was touching it, and she shows Megan a video that has some unexplainable objects in it (you can see that on our blog).

Spoiler alert: During the recap we ponder TB hospitals and give away spoilers for a twelve-year-old show.

We learn a new word thanks to Amy’s dad’s saying this week: “The thrust of connection was repudiation.”

Content Warning: Abuse of vulnerable people in history (mentally and physically ill) also, we swear.

This week Amy is recapping “They Come from the Hills” which is from Season 13 Episode 8 of The Dead Files.

Amy has a glitch in the matrix story. Megan gives us a recap on her Dungeons & Dragons adventure. More about our fave TikTok author Jeneva Rose. We think we know what Scott is so butt-hurt about.

53: The Man in the Closet

Fri, 17 Feb 2023 12:00:00 +0000

This week Megan is recapping “Tormented” which is from Season 2 Episode 10 of The Dead Files. This story will give you volatile snapdragon bumps.

Content Warning: Abuse of children and animals in history. Rape. Suicide. Also we swear.

We apologize ahead of time for the sound quality, we recorded in person again and well, that never really goes well for sound quality.

We also talked about: Joe Kenda, new merch (that is already discontinued); Dearly departed pets; Stroganoff; Food Magazines; TV shows that are over and how we deal; Jeneva Rose author of the book The Perfect Marriage and Scott; Amy Amy-splains what “Free” means; reading for money; shout-out to hospice nurses; and the comfort of the Golden Girls when things get scary.

We gabbed a LOT so if you’re only here for Dead Files content you’ll want to skip ahead to about 15:52 (give or take if you listen on a platform with ads). This podcast should be called “oh that reminds me”.

52: Vessels for the Dead

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 12:00:00 +0000

This week Amy is recapping “Death and Dolls” which is from Season 1 Episode 4 of The Dead Files.

*Audio note: We recorded this in person and we don’t have a sound engineer helping us at the time of recording, so we only found out later, that the sound is pretty messed up (too loud at times, too soft at times). Amy tried to fix it, but is not a magician.*

This week we talked about: Ranch dressing aka Minnesota Sauce; how our Amy and Amy Allan are not actually besties (unfortunately); our Hall Pass celebrities; haunted dolls for sale on eBay,

Question: if a spirit is in a doll, and something happens to the doll can the spirit feel it?

We say “Those f*cking dolls!” a lot.

50: The Client Files: Randy

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 12:00:00 +0000

This week we have a special treat for you! We met with Randy, a Dead Files client from season 14. His episode is #9 and it’s called “Sudden Awakening”.

Content Warning: Suicide, accidental drug overdose, near death experience.

Other stuff: Randy told us all about the many experiences that he and his family have been had, before and after the filming of The Dead Files. He also let us show you a video he took in his home that captures something really strange! You’ll hear us talk about it in this episode. Check out website/blog for that if you want to watch it. https://www.podpage.com/the-activity-continues/blog/

Randy and Megan bonded over crafting.

Then he surprised us all by spilling a little Dead Files tea as well as some other celebrity tea.

Randy crushed Amy’s dreams of her Movie Star Boyfriend being a nice guy. But we do get confirmation about another guy we all love being a super nice and funny guy (which we sort of already knew and really hoped).

So, grab your hankies, hop in the Cadillac, and join us when… The Activity Continues.

This episode was recorded on January 20, 2023 and released on January 27, 2023.

Circle Chat 2

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 15:01:40 +0000

This is a discussion that was cut out from our episode 51, because we didn’t want to spoil The Circle for those who haven’t seen it.

We discuss Season 5 Finale as well as a little about past seasons. Megan speculates what she would do if she were a contestant, and Amy talks about her brush with the Circle.

The Activity Continues is USUALLY a podcast where a couple of Soul Sisters, Amy & Megan, chat about the TV show, The Dead Files, true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other creepy paranormal shit. Each week we each choose an episode to dissect and chat about.

So, grab your hankies, hop in the Cadillac, and join us when… The Activity Continues.

49: The Soldier and the Banshee

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 12:00:00 +0000

This week Amy is recapping “A Banshee’s Cry” which is from Season 2 Episode 2 of The Dead Files. Please excuse that Amy has a pretty bad cold so while we tried to cut out all the coughs and sniffles, you will hear a different tone in her voice. In this episode we travel to Carmel, NY and learn about Smalley’s Inn.

Content Warning: Child death in history-not explicit

We also talked about Golden Girls and elderly lesbians, our favorite TikTok-er this week, and the Twitter misunderstanding between the Amys. While recording we also learned of Lisa Marie Presley’s death and about fish swimming down the streets in California, which led to a discussion about Australia’s animals wanting to kill all of us.

44: Hallmark Movie Review

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 12:00:00 +0000

This week we have another little one-off show. We are talking about our favorite (and not so favorite) Hallmark movies…among other things.

If you are interested in joining a group chat where we share our recommendations, let us know at theactivitycontinues@gmail.com it will likely be a WhatsApp group chat so that it’s not dependent upon any one social media platform.

Stuff we talked about:

Triggery stuff: Dogs eating poop, cults

Other stuff: How gross dogs are, Megan’s shark fleet from Fahlo, and the thin line between making sure your kids aren’t to trusting and scaring the shit out of them. Amy talks about the Moonies. Megan tells us how she got lost driving home. And then we really get into it discussing Hallmark Holiday movies.

Movies talked about. These can be found various places around the web, but a lot of them are on Peacock or the Frndly app.

Megan’s recommendations:

You Cast a Spell on Me (not Xmas - Halloween) 5/5 magic wands

Wedding Every Weekend (not Xmas) 5/5 bouquets

Jingle Bell Bride 3/5 hot cocoas

The Gingerbread Romance negative 10/5 – so not a recommendation

The Baker’s Son (not Xmas) 4/5 loaves of bread

Falling for Vermont 5/5

Other Amnesia ones: Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas and Falling for Christmas (Netflix, Li-lo)

October Kiss (Xmas - Halloween) 5/5 leaves

Amy’s recommendations:

Christmas Bedtime Stories 4/5 hot chocolates

Jolly Good Christmas 3.5/5 shopping carts (no hot cocoas)

A Very Merry Bridesmaid 10/5 hot cocoas and gorgeous leading men

Murder, She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery 4/5 plums

Tale of Two Christmases 4/5 hot cocoas

The Royal Corgi Christmas 5/5 corgis – just because of the dogs

The Ghosts of Christmas Always 1m/5 hot chocolates

The Moonies: https://www.ft.com/content/2bf8dd43-78ca-4d2f-935e-70c9d34e1a5d

43: Aquarian Leaps

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 12:00:00 +0000

This week we are not recapping The Dead Files. We have had a bananas couple of weeks and actually we had planned to be completely off the whole month of December. But we decided we wanted to at least have a few gab sessions. We know this isn’t for everyone. If you just listen to us because you love The Dead Files, but not us personally, you’ll want to skip this one.

But if you like us, welcome, pull up a chair and feel free to talk at us into the ether. We’ll feel you!

This conversation is a lesson in what I (Amy) have always called an Aquarian Leap. I swear I learned in high school psychology that when conversations or thoughts leap from one topic to another and then later you say to yourself, “how did we get here?!” that’s called an Aquarian Leap. However, I just googled it for an exact definition and apparently, it’s not a thing at all. So now we need to discuss the Mandela Effect!

Stuff we talked about:

Triggery stuff: Covid, SIDS

Other stuff: Catalogs from our youth, TV shows (cooking and scripted), wildlife conservation gift ideas, owning land in Scotland, sleep podcasts, and more.

Fahlo. Where you can buy a tracker to track an animal in the wild (shark, penguin, polar bear, lion, sea turtle, elephant) https://myfahlo.com/ (not a sponsor)

37: Legion of Demons

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 11:00:00 +0000

This week we’re back to recaps. Amy is recalling “The Obsession” which is a listener suggestion from Lili. We talk about our (former) favorite Thai restaurant, the beauty of mashed potatoes and gravy, (we have food on the brain), missing wedding rings and using the dead to find things…oh and The Dead Files!

Stuff we talked about

Here’s the website for the Road House http://www.rhouse.org/

36: The Client Files: Lance and Jennifer

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 11:00:00 +0000

*this is the remastered/remixed version *

This week, we have a special treat for you. We are not covering an episode of the Dead Files, we are talking with some of their past clients!

That’s right, we were lucky enough to snag an interview with former clients Lance and Jennifer from The Dead Files Episode, Hell in the Heartland (which was season 8 episode 1)

We even had a special guest appearance by daughter Emi!

Lance and Jennifer talked about their abilities, the spirits in their home, the stuff they experienced, some of it was on the show, some will be new to you. This family endured so much: Screaming ladies, spoons that disappear and reappear, full-body apparitions, printers that spew out paper even when unplugged, foul-mouthed grandmas, and being thrown across the room!

You will hear about how a “paranormal investigative team” made things worse, which led to the Hell on Wheels Day when they decided to call for real help. Some stuff happened then that will SHOCK you!

Also it was confirmed that Amy is gorgeous in real life too.

The sound was a little challenging so while we are releasing this as an audio show, we really do urge you to go watch the whole thing, video format on YouTube. It’s easier to tell what is being said when you can see the people speaking.

Zoom is fucked up in that when someone speaks it mutes everyone else, and we were on a slight delay so we didn’t even know when we were talking over each other.

If you’re wondering why Amy was unusually quiet, that’s why.

Also this is a call to other past clients. If you would be interested in coming on our show and sharing your story we would love to have you! Send an email to theactivitycontinues@gmail.com

So grab your hankies, hop in the Cadillac, and join us when… The Activity Continues.

This episode was recorded on October 2, 2022 and released on October 7, 2022

Things we talked about for further info:

Jennifer mentioned the only ghost she can see is Sarah. Here’s more on her: https://www.mismastejasranch.com/search?q=sarah

Maya is their dog. They breed dogs too, but this is their family dog who they believe was sent to them as a protector. She saved Lance when he was being jumped. https://www.mismastejasranch.com/search?q=maya

Bonus Episode: Sampler

Bonus Episode: Sampler

I’m sorry to say that we will not have a new episode out for you this week. We have a few really fun things planned, including some interviews, and a Halloween Special. So we’ve been busy working on those things as well as navigating life’s little, or big, curveballs.

So we did not record this week, but I wanted to give you something.

I’ve cobbled together some of our audiograms…that is, pieces of the show we thought were fun to hear in small snippets. Some of these we’ve released on Social media, but some have never been published.

So feast your ears. We hope you like it! And we’ll see you next week, when The Activity Continues.

So grab your hankies, hop in the Cadillac, and join us when… The Activity Continues.

This week Megan is recapping for you, “The Whispering” which is Season 6 Episode 12. It originally aired June 17, 2016.

This week we talk about famous men we’d throw it all away for, test anxiety, fantasy real estate deals, and moms with COVID.

Then when we get around to talking The Dead Files, we learn about a family in Washington State (again!) who is quickly running out of the strength it will take to continue living in her home. It’s the site of a brutal unsolved murder; and the land is so bad the Native American ghosts don’t even want anything to do with it.

The Activity Continues is a podcast where a couple of dorks, Amy & Megan, chat about the TV show, The Dead Files, true crime, haunts, dreams, and other creepy paranormal shit. Each week we each choose an episode to dissect and chat about.

28: The Crimes Behind the Ghosts: Layers of People

Fri, 05 Aug 2022 11:00:00 +0000

This episode is part of our last episode that I removed for time’s sake.

For now, we hope you enjoy the discussion on the murder of Gina Hall. Please keep in mind, as Megan said, she investigated for a short time and so did I. We weren’t planning on doing a murder follow-up but once we both started digging (and we started that on recording day) we uncovered some good stuff that we wanted to share with you.

That said, this is not going to be a complete story. If you are already familiar with this case and you want all the details, we suggest you check out other sources. This is just for some additional stuff not mentioned in The Dead Files episode. Check the show notes for links to other shows and books that cover this story in a more in-depth way.

Stick around to the end to hear our debate on French fries and hamburger choices, and what we have planned for next week!

22: Listener Story: My Night at the Villisca Ax Murder House

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 11:05:00 +0000

But for this episode we pulled the audio version of the story by our friend and Ghosty Fam Member and Patron, Heather. She visited the Villisca Ax Murder house in 2004 with her friends. We read a version of this in our Episode 14, but here it is in her own words.

A big thanks to Heather for sharing her story with us!

Note: there’s a part where you’ll hear some beeping. I wasn’t able to edit that out and didn’t want to remove what she was saying, as it was an important part, so I had to leave it in.

So grab your hankies, hop in the Cadillac, and join us when… The Activity Continues.

Stuff we talked about in this episode:

13: The Villisca Ax Murder House Part 1

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 12:00:00 +0000

This week we’re mixing it up a little. Megan recapped the episode “The Ax Murder House” Season 3 Episode 5 (on Discovery+ but S3 E4 on Hulu). It originally aired November 29, 2013.

Amy did some color commentary, she did some research on the crime, watched some TV shows, listened to some podcasts and added some extras.

**content warning this is full of horrible shit: Child murder, sexual acts and brutal murder. Proceed at your own discretion**.

Wow, this episode was a doozy. We did end up talking for almost another hour after what you’ll hear today.

You will hear us reference a listener story in the intro, but we ended up cutting the episode into two parts. So that part will be in Part 2.

If you so choose, you can wait and listen to the episodes back to back next week.

Pour yourself a glass of grape cream wine, or your drink of choice and join us while we fan girl over another podcast, talk about The Sims, the Dead Files Season 14 Finale and gross things murderers do with bacon.

But first we gab for a good bit of time before we even start talking about The Dead Files. So, if you don’t enjoy patter and/or US as people, just skip ahead to about 21:30 for when we start talking about the show. But be warned, we still go off on tangents even when we are, in theory, on track. Think of it as our charm.

Pour yourself a glass of cream wine, Rebel or your other drink of choice and join us while we talk about The King of the Bootleggers and the Ball Guy; Scottish dancing, belching, creepy podcasts and TV shows, and going from zero to fucked up in no time.

11: Cream Wine and Michigan Ghosts

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 11:00:00 +0000

This time Megan will be covering Season 7 Episode 4 titled “Compelled”. It originally aired September 3, 2016. Amy recapped Season 2 Episode 17 called “Possessed” which originally aired May 3, 2013.

**This one involves some content that we want to warn you about head of time: Child death (history), Children being attacked by spirits, talk of suicidal thoughts. But again, if you watch the show, you’re prepared. **

These both take place in Michigan! And that’s NOT the only parallel.

· In both stories the male client is named Mike

· There’s a bad entity in the basement

· Possession in involved

· Questionable mothers-in-law

Then here’s another thing we thought was odd. In Amy’s episode the entity Sadie, was born October 16^th, and died (year’s later) on October 18^th. The client mentions that the date of birth is just a few days before hers. Sadie’s date of death is just before Megan’s birthday.

If that’s not weird enough…in the episode Amy covered last week, the entity was also born October 16 and died October 18^th.

[insert Twilight Zone theme song]

But first we gab for a good bit of time before we even start talking about The Dead Files. So if you don’t enjoy patter and/or US as people, just skip ahead to about 15:00 for when we start talking about the show. But be warned, we still go off on tangents even when we are, in theory, on track. Think of it as our charm.

Pour yourself a glass of Feet Wine, (or cream wine, your choice) and join us while we talk about tea bags, La Grippe and we’ll also dissect a couple of episodes of The Dead Files, and be warned against Gas Station Hard Boiled Eggs.

So grab your hankies, hop in the Cadillac, and join us when… The Activity Continues.

But first we gab for a good bit of time before we even start talking about The Dead Files. So if you don’t enjoy patter and/or US as people, just skip ahead to about 19:40 for when we start talking about the show. But be warned, we still go off on tangents even when we are, in theory, on track. Think of it as our charm.

If you stick around for the stream of consciousness patter, you’ll hear us talking about the TV shows we’re watching, naps, emus on TikTok, and the reason neither of us fulfilled our childhood dreams of becoming veterinarians. Shout out to all the vets who take care of us and our beloved pets.
