140: A Thesaurusus for Steve

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.

 

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

 

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 March 24, 2025, and released on April 17, 2025.
