    172: Shushed By a Ghost: Holzer Files 'Grave Secrets' Reaction
    Jun 25 2026

    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 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.

    171: Appeals & Alibis (The Dead Files "Lady in Black")
    Jun 11 2026
    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 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)
    May 28 2026
    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 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.
