This time on The Activity Continues, Megan and Amy rolled the dice and landed on The Holzer Files: Lambert Castle. What followed was a haunted castle, mysterious past-life connections, family secrets, psychic roadblocks, and one very persistent paranormal mystery that may or may not have been completely solved. Along the way, we also spent a surprising amount of time introducing Megan to Amy’s newest foster-fail pup, discussing whether ghosts can keep secrets for over a century, and trying...

Our first Holzer Files Reaction: Grave Secrets This week, Amy and Megan continue their experiment of rolling the dice and reacting to a paranormal show they've never pre-screened. Their random selection leads them to a haunted house, a mysterious bloodstain, a tragic family legend, and one very unsettling ghost whose preferred method of communication appears to be shushing people. As the investigation unfolds, long-held local stories start to unravel, leaving Amy and Megan questioning everyth...

Research and Rabbit Holes for TDF "The Lady in Black" After our first-ever watch-together episode, it was time to do what we do best: pull on every loose historical thread we could find and see where it led. Spoiler alert: it led to failed divorces, mysterious house histories, censured juries, tornadoes, and at least one rabbit hole that ended in a spectacular dead end. This week, Amy brings the receipts leaving listeners and Megan equally surprised by every twist and turn. We discuss a...

Recapping The Dead Files “The Lady in Black” (Season 10 Episode 6) This week we did something we’ve somehow NEVER done before: we rolled dice live on-air to randomly pick a Dead Files episode, and watched it together completely blind in real time, IN PERSON. Which means you get our uncensored reactions, immediate theories, interruptions, chaos, and approximately seventeen side quests. The dice landed us in Marshalltown, Iowa for The Lady in Black, featuring a haunted house owned by para...

In this episode, we wrap up our three-part Death Valley series by diving into the 2000 documentary Amargosa—and let’s just say… we had thoughts. We get into Megan’s slow burn experience with the film (it took about an hour to click… but when it did, it really did), while Amy was immediately charmed by its very specific “1970s educational film” vibe—grainy footage, questionable cinematography, and all. Somehow, this thing both feels amateur and also won an Emmy, which… we’re still processing. ...

Death Valley Series #2

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 D...

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...

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 folkl...

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 mothe...

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: ca...

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 ...

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 dr...
