The Activity Continues

This week we’re recapping The Dead Files episode “House of Mirrors,” 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 t...

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 laughi...

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 whe...

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 s...

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. ...

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-shou...

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.)

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??)

 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 docto...

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 miss...

Physical attacks, emotional torment, and a terrifying presence have shattered their home—and possibly their lives.

Steve DiSchiavi uncovers a turbul...

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 gh...

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 m...

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

Originally featured in Season 9 of The Dead Files, this location has long been on our paranormal radar—and not just becau...

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.
