The Activity Continues

Guest: Diana Doty — co-host of Homespun Haints She’s back—and so are the ghosts. This week, we welcome Diana Doty of Homespun Haints for her long-awaited return to TAC, and things get deliciously weird (again). From haunted mirrors that open into impossible green hallways to the eerie overlap between skepticism, storytelling, and sleep paralysis, we explore what happens when logic meets the paranormal—and what it means to keep laughing in the dark. In This Episode · Revisiting Diana’s famous basement haunting and what’s changed since she sold the house. · Her haunted bathroom mirror portal (yes, really) and why some objects refuse to behave. · The push-pull between science and spirit—how a Vulcan mathematician dad and a fairy-healer mom made her the perfect paranormal hybrid. · When storytelling becomes summoning—can talking about ghosts actually attract them? · A deep dive into sleep paralysis, shadow figures, and the line between dream and visitation. If you like your ghost stories smart, your skeptics funny, and your haunted objects a little too familiar, this one’s for you. It’s an episode about curiosity, fear, and the fine art of not taking eternity too seriously. So grab your favorite athletic cup and join us, where The Activity Continues.

with Beverly McChesney Beverly is back, and she’s bringing dragons, past lives, and Prince with her. In this episode, we reconnect with Beverly McChesney — a psychic channel, event organizer, and all-around magical being — who last appeared in Episode 134: The Channeler and the Dragon Meister. We catch up on all the fascinating things Beverly’s been up to since her last visit, including organizing metaphysical markets, channeling spirits (including you know who from Paisley Park), and sharing wisdom from her vivid past life regressions. One of those lives? A swamp-dwelling herbalist named Mama Ruby with serious healing skills and a no-nonsense attitude. We also dive into: · Whether everyone is secretly a medium · The difference between being psychic, a medium, and just highly intuitive · Protection, energy clearing, and why light is your best defense · The myth of attachments and the power of personal vibration · The ethics (and scams) in the world of psychics and healers · What happened when Beverly visited Prince’s studio... and spoke to him · Time slips, ghost kids, and haunted mansions · Her gallery readings and traveling witchy bazaars in Kentucky Plus, we get her advice for how to stay spiritually grounded when the world feels like it’s crumbling. 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.

Haunted Prison: A Shadow Devil, 1980 Riot Energy, and a Burned Relic Recapping The Dead Files “Death Sentence” (aka “Prisoner of Shadows”): (Season 1 Episode 19) which aired June 29, 2012. We review a film shoot inside a decommissioned penitentiary, a whispered “Hey,” a client who took home a souvenir (then… burned it), and Amy & Steve breaking protocol mid-case. We unpack why prisons hang onto rage, fear, and you-really-shouldn’t-take-that energy. Expect: shadow-devil vibes, wall-crawlers, portal “holes,” and a reveal where the sketch is meh but the consequences are not.

Recapping The Dead Files “Dead End” (Season 3 Episode 6) which aired August 28, 2015. What’s lurking in the closet? (No, seriously—what is it??) What happens when a small-town Missouri home becomes the hunting ground for a shadow man with a serious vendetta? In this episode of The Activity Continues, Amy and Megan recap The Dead Files Season 3, Episode 6: “Dead End” — where the family’s safety is threatened by something very real, very dark… and very interested in their child. In This Paranormal Parade: • A shadow man that army-crawls from the closet toward a child (like a demon doing pushups) • A curtain rod with a vendetta • Mini-demons that might just be shadow man's sidekicks • A history of brothels, betrayal, and a sheriff who died of…you guessed it, syphilis • A skeptical police officer who finally admits: “This house scares the hell out of me” • Amy Allan doing what she does best: unearthing secrets from the walls — and the past All in a house with a brutal, confusing, and possibly brothel-adjacent backstory. The energy in this one? Oppressive with a side of 'get out now.' Get your bingo cards out kids, this one has a lot… and join us where… The Activity Continues.

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 couple murdered on Lover’s Lane. A doctor who may or may not have tripped to his death (hi, McCulloch). An explosion beneath the golf course. And Chip Coffey in a skull scarf. What more could you want? We discuss the hauntings, the history, the residual energy, and yes—the totally not-suspicious husband who was conveniently unaccounted for the night of the murder. 🧐 Let’s be honest we all know: the husband did it (but don’t sue us). Also in this episode: · McCulloch Took a Tumble™ · We explain how coal becomes Coke (not the fizzy kind) · Megan finally learns bullet speeds are not measured in light years · Amy wants a medium to isolate EVPs in Audacity like it’s 2008 · AP drops historical facts like haunted breadcrumbs Come for the ghostly whispers, stay for the wild speculation. We loved this episode of Kindred Spirits—and we think you will too. 👻 Support us on Patreon for bonus episodes, outtakes, haunted bingo cards, and more at patreon.com/theactivitycontinues So, grab your skull scarf (just like Chip’s), and join us where… The Activity Continues.

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.

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. Content Warning: In this episode there is quite a bit of talk about infant and child death, as well as botched hanging executions, so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear. 🪦 Topics include: · A Wild West marshal with a murderous streak · A swirling storm of grief, anger, and illness · The line between paranormal activity and undiagnosed medical conditions · Shadow figures, swirling energy, and one pissed-off spirit · The science and woo behind how energy lingers 💬 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. 💀 Support the show, get bonus episodes, and join our paranormal-loving community at patreon.com/theactivitycontinues Chapter Markers 00:00:00 Hello! 00:02:23 Content Warning & Housekeeping 00:12:16 Segment One – The Set Up 00:39:04 Segment Two – The Investigation 01:01:00 Segment Three – The Reveal 01:21:00 Fact Check 01:31:20 Real ghost story about the area 01:32:55 Outro/Disclaimer Episode links: Join our IG Group Chat! https://ig.me/j/AbZQ-sYUAb5Nrhyb/ High Noon Restaurant https://www.highnoonrestaurant.com/ Facebook page for restaurant https://www.facebook.com/highnoonrestaurant On Old Town: https://www.albuquerqueoldtown.com/ Milton Yarberry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_J._Yarberry Article we quoted: https://www.executedtoday.com/2017/02/09/1883-milton-yarberry-marshal-of-albuquerque/ This is the book that puts the Yarberry murder in 1881: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/History_of_New_Mexico%3B_its_resources_and_people_%28IA_historyofnewmexi01paci%29.pdf US Ghost Adventures: https://usghostadventures.com/albuquerque-ghost-tour/high-noon-restaurant-saloon (this is not Baggins’ show, it’s a directory of haunted places you can visit.)

Recapping The Dead Files, Season 6, Episode 7: Afflicted (Aired June 13, 2015) In this powerful 150th episode, Amy and Megan revisit The Dead Files case titled “Afflicted,” where a single mother in Covington, Louisiana, pleads for help as her family is terrorized by a dark, unseen force. Physical attacks, emotional torment, and a terrifying presence have shattered their home—and possibly their lives.

Meanwhile, Amy Allan encounters a demon-like entity that thrives on human suffering, especially addiction, and warns that it could claim a soul forever. 🎧 This one’s heavier than usual—we talk about addiction, family breakdown, and the impossible choices a mother must make to protect her children. It’s not our funniest episode, but it might be one of our most important. 🔮 Topics include: · Paranormal attachments and addiction demons · Generational trauma and haunted land · Amy Allan setting boundaries like a queen · Soulmates, skepticism, and the reality of recovery · Creepy sketches, bad curtain rods, and baseboard heaters · Our 150th episode milestone!

Well, well, well...if it isn’t the consequences of one’s own actions rearing their heads. At least two people in this story are getting their just desserts. In this episode, we head to Seattle to revisit one of The Dead Files’ early cases— This time, Amy and AP dive into "Burned Alive", where a bar owner is dealing with vengeful mist creatures, a bathroom ghost, a possibly syphilitic protector spirit, and a religious woman ghost named Mary whose touch can literally kill you. So, that’s fun. This Dead Files episode (S5 E7) originally aired June 13, 2015. We talk about the Merchant Cafe and Saloon—one of Seattle’s oldest bars—and the heavy energy tied to its long, sometimes tragic, history. Highlights include: Also discussed: haunted dolls, ghostly health risks, Empress Gin color science, and a little behind-the-scenes peek on the making of our show.

This week, Amy and Megan dive headfirst into one of the darkest and most disturbing Dead Files episodes yet: Season 10, Episode 1 – “Taken.” Set in Mahwah, New Jersey (which yes, is north of NYC—who knew?!), this case features shadow people, child spirits, and one truly unnerving ghost bear creeping through the house… on tiptoes. The haunting centers on Jen, her husband Gary, and their four kids. What starts as “we think the house might be haunted” quickly escalates into “multiple demonic entities are trying to possess our children.” It’s heavy, it’s heartbreaking, and somehow we still find time to make jokes about Switzerland, snack breaks, and John Candy. Topics include: 👻 Ghosts that affect electricity and moods 🐻 A ghost bear that tiptoes like it’s late for bedtime 💀 Historical suicides, tragic mothers, and cursed real estate 🧒 The sweetest possessed teenager you’ve ever met 🕯️ An exorcism plan that includes tar water, Jewish mediums, and annual land blessings We show what little we know about what languages other countries spoke in the late 1800s. Content warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics like death by suicide and child death. We handle it gently, but feel free to skip ahead if you need to. Your wellbeing matters. So grab your ghost-proof teddy bear and a sandwich in case you're just Hungary—and join us where The Activity Continues.

A Haunted Hotel and a Horrible History 🎙️ Revisited: The Palmer House (A Recap of a Recap… of a Haunting?) In this week’s slightly chaotic, definitely spirited episode of The Activity Continues, your hosts Amy, Megan, and AP revisit one of their earliest episodes: The Palmer House Hotel in Sauk Centre, Minnesota. Originally featured in Season 9 of The Dead Files, this location has long been on our paranormal radar—and not just because of the mixing bowls that take flight or the creepy footsteps echoing down empty hallways. 🌀 Join us as we: · Reflect on our very early podcasting days (we’ve come a long way, folks) · Share updates and new research on the Palmer House—including tragic and unsettling events not fully explored in the original show · Revisit the real history behind the Dakota 38+2 execution and the ongoing memorial rides in Minnesota · Debate the presence of residual hauntings, serial killer spirits, and...chaos magicians? · Laugh (a lot) and possibly forget our listeners’ names (sorry, Shannon!) 👻 Plus, AP drops some heavy (and necessary) historical truth bombs, we theorize about gangsters on ghost sketches, and Megan finally gets called out for texting like she’s in five conversations at once. 🎧 Whether you’re a die-hard Dead Files fan, a local haunting enthusiast, or just here for our delightful nonsense—this one’s for you.

Part 2 of our Practical Magic Two-fer This week we are finishing up our discussion of The Dead Files “Shop of Horrors” (Season 13 Episode 5) which aired August 21, 2021. Episode 144 was the first half, this is the second. We talked about other things too like walking through spider webs, intention vs perception, and flirting with a ghost. This episode was split into two because we talked for almost two hours about this case. The reason being that we also covered another show the same clients were on called “A Haunting” so basically, we’re recapping two shows at once! This is part two.

Also, we swear. This episode was recorded on April 21, 2025, and released on May 15, 2025. The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about true crime, ghost stories, hauntings, dreams, and other 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 paranormal world, with the goal of learning from others. We think you’ll really benefit from the things these people have to say. Sometimes we get a little scientific. We enjoy trying to come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the clients experience. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the clients or are invalidating their experiences. We do believe.
