Recapping The Dead Files “Vengeance” (Season 10 Episode 1) which aired July 25, 2015.
This week on The Activity Continues, Megan and Amy dive into The Dead Files episode “Vengeance” set in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
When a woman inherits her family’s beloved restaurant in Albuquerque’s Old Town, she embraces her role as caretaker of both the business and its rich legacy. But after decades of whispers, sightings, and strange activity, they are ready for answers. Who still lingers in the historic building—and why? They’re curious—and concerned about what, if anything, they should be doing for the spirits that still call the place home.
As the team investigates, a dark legacy emerges involving an 1880s lawman with blood on his hands, a furious female spirit from the 1920s, and a violent, lingering energy that's hurting the living.
💬 Plus: Megan and Amy try to untangle the history, laugh at the absurd bits, and share their own takes on what’s really haunting this historic spot.
👻 So grab your emotional support wicker furniture and join us where… The Activity Continues.
