The Activity Continues

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 n...

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 inves...

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 brin...

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 lan...

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...

Research 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.

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...

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.

What starts as a simple desert haunting quickly turns...

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...

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.

We explore the his...

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, hist...

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.

In Great Falls, Montana, Kelly believes she’s being contacted by the spirit of Valeria Gibson...

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 r...

This 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. crematio...

  A haunted country club, an unsolved murder, and a lot of side-eye at the ‘official story.’ This week, we take a detour from The Dead Files and dip our toes into Kindred Spirits (Season 7, Episode 10): The Country Club Murders . Set at the eerily elegant Black Knight Country Club in Beckley, West Virginia, this episode delivers high paranormal drama, low lighting, and medium-level mediumship. A c...

This is a special bonus episode, which is about an important change in the TAC universe. We recorded this on June 28, the same evening that we recorded the Kindred Spirits episode that will be released on August 21. I just wanted to release this separately to be sure everyone hears it and is aware so there's no confusion as to what's taking place. In a nutshell, after two years, we say goo...
