160: Year-End Shenanigans: TAC 2025 Wrap Up

It’s the end of another wild and weird year on The Activity Continues! In this season finale, Amy and Megan hunker down with cocoa, cozy blankets, and a healthy dose of sarcasm to look back on all things TAC 2025. We revisit our favorite moments, share clips from standout episodes, and shout out the listeners and Patreon crew who keep us (mostly) sane.

Buckle up for haunted Minnesota, listener requests, out-of-context pig facts (yep, you read that right), gratitude for the lovely people we interviewed this year, and our ongoing quest for the perfect ghost story.

There’s talk of imaginary friends, spirit guides, investigating haunted hotels (with adult diapers and crystals, obviously), and a whole lot of gratitude for everyone who stuck around through the shenanigans. But don’t get misty-eyed—this is just our season wrap, not a goodbye!

We’ll be back after a short break with even more ghostly antics, wild tangents, and haunted hijinks.

So grab your spreadsheet, your “brave pants,” and maybe a crystal or two, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

We didn’t find anything we thought deserved a content warning, except that we use colorful language.

The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy and Megan chat about ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other supernatural and 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 metaphysical world, as well as Dead Files clients.

This episode was recorded on December 8, 2025, and released on December 23, 2025.
