174: The Body Bag Was a Terrible Idea 23.07.2026 41minGhost Brothers: Lights Out: Waverly HillsIt's time for another paranormal watch-along, and this time we're heading to one of the most famous haunted locations in America... Waverly Hills Sanatorium.Once again, we let the Universe decide which iteration of Ghost Brothers shows (there are three), and which season and episode we would watch. We landed “Ghost Brothers: Lights Out” Season 2, Episode 8.Before long we were asking the important questions:· Is Tim the Demon just suffering from a branding problem?· Is Ghost Whip 3000 the greatest piece of ghost-hunting technology ever named?· And perhaps most importantly... why are people’s ribs gone?As we follow the Ghost Brothers through haunted hallways, body chutes, bats, body bags, and more "absolutely not" moments than we can count, we discover that the most fascinating part of Waverly Hills might not be the story everyone already knows.Could the other story of Waverly Hills actually be the darker one? OR is Shirleen just drinking the company Kool-Aid.Along the way, we remind ourselves that not everything's demonic. Humans deserve more than the occasional fresh air and sunshine to survive, and question some life choices including body bags and morgue body trays.If you like your paranormal with equal parts creepy history, skeptical commentary, terrible jokes, and two friends yelling "Nope!" at the television, this one's for you.So grab your emotional support Yorkie, leave the body bag at home, and join us where… The Activity Continues.Content Warning:We didn’t find anything we thought might deserve a warning, except that we swear.Chapter Markers00:00 Intro & Choosing the Episode03:43 Welcome to Waverly Hills15:37 Ghost Whip 3000 & The Body Chute18:05 The Other Story of Waverly Hills (Woodhaven)27:07 Tim the Demon Needs Better PR32:13 The Body Bag Was a Terrible Idea40:20 Final ThoughtsThe Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends Amy and Megan chat about true crime, ghost stories, hauntings, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including TV shows.

173: Past Lives, Puppies, and Paranormal Confusion (The Holzer Files: Lambert Castle Reaction) 09.07.2026 48minThis 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 to decide if Lambert Castle was genuinely haunted or just really committed to being dramatic.This is the public (edited) version of this episode. If you would like to see the full episode, mostly unedited, please go to our Patreon where you can join us, and watch this and all our upcoming episodes ad-free and often extended. Or you can purchase just this episode.

172: Shushed By a Ghost: Holzer Files 'Grave Secrets' Reaction 25.06.2026 58minOur first Holzer Files Reaction: Grave SecretsThis 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 everything they thought they knew about the haunting. Along the way, they spiral into discussions about nightgowns, muumuus, Blair Witch trauma, ghost-hunting gadgets, and whether some paranormal legends survive simply because they're too good for a town to let go.Join us for haunted history, unexpected twists, and a healthy amount of paranormal tomfoolery.Content Warning:suicide, and we use colorful language.Chapter Markers00:00:33 Welcome & Housekeeping00:10:37 Picking the Episode00:13:54 Enter the Howard-Dickinson House00:21:26 Sidequest: PJs, Muumuus, & House Coats00:24: 43 The Woman in White00:29:36 Melinda, Witness00:30:43 True History: The House’s Biggest Secret00:35:21 Overnight Investigation Begins00:38:34 Sidequest: SLS Camera00:45:04 The Results00:47: 12 Maida’s Findings00:48:27 Melinda Returns00:52: 44 End of Holzer Files episode00:53:02 Blair Witch ReminiscingEpisode links:Howard-Dickinson House https://www.howardhousehenderson.org/The Holzer Files: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10738706/The Pajamas we talked about: https://amzn.to/4ujpHwFAmazon links could generate a small commission to us at no cost to you.The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends Amy and Megan chat about true crime, ghost stories, hauntings, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files.

171: Appeals & Alibis (The Dead Files "Lady in Black") 11.06.2026 51minResearch 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 podcast review so sweet it nearly makes us cry, the accidental Midwestern art of saying "uff da" and "ope," and why the best podcasts feel less like shows and more like hanging out with friends.Then we head back to Marshalltown, Iowa, where the questions only get stranger. Did the house have a dark history before Kelly and Mike moved in? Did their paranormal investigations bring something home with them? Why did previous residents report nothing unusual? And how exactly does a house drop nearly 70% in price?Along the way, we uncover an eerie letter from the homeowners themselves, featuring flying wine glasses, mystery scratches, grandchildren chatting with an old woman upstairs, and a laptop that somehow froze on a photograph of Angie Braddock's gravestone before anyone knew who she was. Because apparently normal coincidences were not invited to this party.We also dive deep into the story of K.C. Roberts, the faith healer at the center of multiple death investigations. That sends us into discussions about Christian Science, coroner's juries, old-timey public shaming, legal loopholes, and the frustrating realization that some human behaviors haven't changed much in the last 125 years.Plus:· Megan invents new legal theories despite not attending law school.· Amy becomes temporarily obsessed with spelling variations of the same man's name.· We mourn a very good dog.· We discover that Angie once tried to divorce her husband.· And we once again prove that no historical mystery is safe from becoming a tangent.· So, grab your mug of hot cocoa and join us where… The Activity Continues.Content Warning:There’s some murder, nothing explicit.

170: The Lady in Black & the Hobo Con Man (Live React) 28.05.2026 53minRecapping 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 paranormal investigators who may have finally found a case they can’t handle themselves. Along the way we discuss violent hauntings, creepy staircases, spirit attachments, whether dead people sleep, and one deeply upsetting shallow grave situation involving Richard Tasler, AKA “the hobo con man.”We also spiral into:· whether closed captions help or destroy your ability to watch TV,· paranormal investigator qualifications,· Christian Science and faith healing,· Michael Peterson and the owl theory,· how many post-conviction filings is TOO many,· and why Amy would absolutely interview the family dog if given the opportunity.There are ghost children, a woman in a black veil, increasingly alarming injuries, and several moments where we completely derail ourselves before trying to remember we are technically recapping a television show.Ponder:If multiple people in a house think one family member is “changing” because of paranormal activity… but that person doesn’t believe any of it… who do you trust?Witness:Steve swearing when he sees the sketch, and Megan reminding him it’s a family show, damm*t!Weigh-In:If Amy Allan told you a spirit wanted your family gone and said moving was the only option… would you leave the house?So, grab your dice, your closed captions remote, and maybe a flashlight for the staircase… and join us where… The Activity Continues.Content Warning:Child death in history, and we do still swear.Chapter Markers00:00:25 Intro!00:06:23 Segment One – The Set Up00:19:09 Segment Two – Diggin’ Tru00:25:59 – BREAK00:25:55 Sidequest: Megan Digs into Legal Stuff00:31:42 Back to the Show00:33:29 The Sketch00:34:41 Segment Three – The Reveal00:50:47 Next Time00:52:56 Outro/DisclaimerEpisode links:Find the Dead Files episode: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8651884/The Dead Files Official Podcast: https://pod.link/1642377102The Lady in Black: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-dead-files-4887850/episodes/the-lady-in-black-248858476The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends Amy and Megan chat about true crime, ghost stories, hauntings, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files.

169: A Little Yellow Flower (Death Valley #3) 14.05.2026 47minIn 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.But what really pulled us in wasn’t the filmmaking—it was MartaWe talk about her resilience, her wildly difficult upbringing, her complicated relationships, and how she somehow came out the other side as this deeply optimistic, slightly woo-woo, fully committed artist who just… did whatever the hell brought her joy. Whether that was painting murals she didn’t own, performing for empty rooms, or building an entire life in the middle of nowhere, Marta didn’t wait for permission.So, grab your wildflower seeds and join us where… The Activity Continues.Content Warning:We didn’t find anything we thought deserved a content warning, but we did swear.Chapter Markers 00:00:00 Hello/Intro00:17:00 Side Quest: School Movies from Our Youth00:28:15 Marta and the Animals00:29:00 Back to Wilget00:32:54 Marta Looking Toward the Future00:35:52 Question for Everyone00:38:36 Other Shows Featuring Amargosa00: 47:19 End creditsEpisode links:Amargosa: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0229976/ - you can watch on Amazon Prime ($) or Tubi (free)Weird Tales 4: The Ghosts of Death Valley Junction: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1783417/ (Tubi free)Ghost Adventures Season 2 episode 11: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1789274/Central California Paranormal Investigators: https://www.facebook.com/ccpifresno/Blog about films shown in school.

168: Conflicting Stories & Missing Pieces (Death Valley #2) 30.04.2026 28minResearch and Rabbit Holes for The Dead Files “Death Valley” (Season 2 Episode 19) which aired May 17, 2013.This week we’re back in Death Valley Junction—but this time, we’re going deeper. Like… five days of rabbit holes deeper.In part two of this three-part series, we leave the recap behind and dive headfirst into the history of the Amargosa Opera House and Hotel… and things get complicated fast.We uncover the origins of the property as a 1920s mining hub built to impress investors (for a booming industry that lasted… about three years), complete with dormitories, a cafe, a general store, and—yes—an infirmary that the show barely touched on.From there, we follow the story of how the place sat abandoned for decades before ballerina Marta Becket arrived in 1967 and quite literally adopted it—painting her own audience on the walls and performing for them when no one else showed up.

We would die for her.)But then… things take a turn.We dig into what may have really happened with Rich and Mary Lee—because despite what the show implies, it doesn’t seem like ghosts are the only reason they left.

167: Something’s Wrong in Death Valley Junction (Death Valley #1) 16.04.2026 48minRecapping 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 Death Valley Junction—a “town” that is basically just one property, an opera house, and a hotel sitting in the middle of nowhere. Amy Allan is immediately overwhelmed, Steve asks the important questions (and misses a few obvious ones… looking at you, Dracula nails), and we spiral into discussions about scratches, ghostly bed-sitters, and whether older skin is just out here betraying us. There are tangents (of course), including our old recording habits, late-night exhaustion, and the realization that we’ve always been like this… we’re just better at editing it now.Also: ring shots, reservoirs, and the very real possibility that this entire place is just… off. So, grab your coffee (before we have to take another break to refill it) and join us where… The Activity Continues.

166: Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker Headache (Ohio Series #3) 02.04.2026 1u 11minThis 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 Dead Files, debate whether ghost kids are ever a good sign (spoiler: absolutely not), and wonder why Steve always asks clients if they’ve been “taking any weed.” We also tackle the real mysteries of the episode, like why the show suddenly discovered drone shots, why Word absolutely refuses to learn how to spell Steve DiSchiavi, and how a ghost can apparently keep burying the same victim over and over while yelling “stay dead.” Plus: woodpecker headaches, ghost LEGO buddies, purse-strap demonstrations, basement dread, and a brief but passionate discussion about woodpeckers that absolutely nobody asked for. PonderIf a ghost is trying to keep their victim quiet by repeatedly burying them in the basement… does that mean the haunting is less about revenge and more about covering up a crime that refuses to stay buried?WitnessBoth Amy and Megan try to explain things that they have no business explaining.Weigh-InIf your child’s teachers told you they think your kid is seeing ghosts… and suggested you call paranormal investigators…would you be relieved someone believes them, or immediately start looking for a new school? So grab your bird-watching book and join us where…The Activity Continues. Content Warning: In this episode we mention child death in history (fire), so please consider before listening. But if you watch The Dead Files, you should be fine.

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.

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 motherhood (twelve children??), morphine, menopause vs. malevolent spirits, and whether tar water is a reasonable Amazon purchase or a sign it’s time to move.It’s eerie. It’s layered. It’s feral.Ponder: If negative energy can embed in land… can it spread like an infection?Witness: Steve calling the commune “woo woo crap” while literally working on a ghost show.Weigh-In: If Amy told you to spray tar water around your entire house — would you stay… or would you move?So, grab your tar water (don’t miss a spot!), and join us where… The Activity Continues.

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 dreams, intuition, and a growing pile of unsettling clues, Kelly uncovers a story that doesn’t match the official version, and medium Amy Allan corroborates that story.As Steve Dischiavi digs for missing blueprints, vanished records, and suspicious inconsistencies, a pattern emerges: when women tell the truth, history has a habit of calling them unstable. But three women—Valeria, Kelly, and Amy—tell the same story across time.She’s not crazy. She’s just not being believed.So… is this a haunting? A cover-up? Or both?So, grab your Nespresso, and join us where… The Activity Continues. Content Warning:We didn’t find anything we thought deserved a content warning, but we will use colorful language.

160: Year-End Shenanigans: TAC 2025 Wrap Up 23.12.2025 38minIt’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.

159: Panic at the Disco, Panic in the Hallway 11.12.2025 1u 1minThis week we’re recapping The Dead Files episode “House of Mirrors,” (Season 5 episode 3) but — in true TAC fashion — we veer wildly off the rails in the best possible ways. We also talked about Megan’s full-blown Oregon Chai obsession, Amy’s unexpected backyard cryptid sighting, whether possums are adorable or demonic, why yelling at ghosts never works, and the ongoing “tree burial vs. cremation vs. body farm” debate that absolutely will not die. We talk of the upcoming season finale, listener suggestions for new investigations, potential paranormal podcast crossovers, and haunted places within road-trip distance that the TAC crew could visit in 2026. Prepare for tricksters, history, side quests, and a whole lot of laughing at the absurdity of it all. So grab your Oregon chai (trust us), get cozy, and join us…where The Activity Continues. Content Warning: In this episode we mention suicide by hanging (or was it?) and some child death in history. Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

It’s heartfelt, spooky, occasionally silly, and totally enlightening. This one’s for the woo-curious, the spiritual skeptics, and the ghost-loving weirdos in all of us.Mentioned in This Episode:· Mama Ruby’s Mystic Market events in Kentucky· Owensboro’s haunted Cupola mansion· Past life regression and hypnotic memory recall· Ghost Brothers TV show (and their real-life kindness)· The energy of grief and loss in public tragedies· Psychic medium Rose Campbell ("Sessions with Spirit") So, grab your sassy red headphones, and join us where… The Activity Continues.
