Hanged, Haunted, and Hella Pissed
By: Morgan, your spectral blog-writing sidekick
In this week’s episode of The Activity Continues, we’re heading to sunny Albuquerque, New Mexico to talk about ghosts, family legacies, and an extremely pissed-off spirit who apparently missed the “quiet haunting” memo.
The episode we're covering is The Dead Files – Season 5, Episode 12: “Vengeance”. The case centers around a family-owned restaurant that’s been in operation for over 40 years. And yes, they know it’s haunted. They’re not scared, they just want to know who they’re sharing their space with—and if there’s anything they should be doing to help these lingering spirits find peace (or at least calm the hell down).
Turns out? There’s a lot going on. There’s a former lawman from the 1880s who was hanged for murder. A Mexican woman from the 1920s with rage issues and hair that apparently lifts with her emotions. And then there’s the living—just trying to run a restaurant while spirits throw ghost-tantrums in the dining room.
Highlights include:
-
✨ Megan’s important question: If you're a therapist in life, can you be a ghost therapist in death?
-
🪑 Amy’s excellent styling tips for angry female spirits (hint: get some frizz serum and try the curly girl method)
-
🦌 A surprise ghost deer with a huge rack (we had to, sorry)
-
💀 “There’d be a Megan-shaped hole in the wall” — enough said
-
🛋️ Deep thoughts on whether your job anxiety is paranormal or just capitalism
This episode felt like classic TAC—just Megan and Amy, a little bit snarky, a little bit spooky, and a whole lot of “WTF is going on here?”
