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.
The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends Amy, Megan, and AP chat about true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. Our recaps are full of recurring jokes about recurring tropes.
We also occasionally do interviews with people from the paranormal world, with the goal of learning from others and sharing that with you! We think you’ll really benefit from the things these people have to say.
Sometimes we get a little scientific. We enjoy trying to come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the clients experience. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the clients or are invalidating their experiences. We do believe.
This episode was recorded on December 1, 2024, and released on January 16, 2025.
