The Activity Continues

Join us this week as we delve into 'The Watcher,' Season 7, Episode 7 of The Dead Files that originally aired on February 4th, 2017. Amy and Megan discuss Ghostly Forces at the Pine Street Saloon in Paso Robles, California. We also go over the eerie paranormal activity captured on video, including some ghostly grab ass.

We then explore the haunted history and tragic stories surrounding the location, including botched abortions and vengeful spirits.

Additionally, there's a heartfelt tribute to our friend Raymond Newsom from Spirit Mechanix. Tune in for a spooky yet engaging discussion!

So, grab your ghostly hinder, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

 

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention a botched abortion and child death in history so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.

 

The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about true crime, ghost stories, 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.

Do you make up words and then stick to them when challenged? We sure do!

 

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “A Widow’s Revenge” (Season 8 Episode 4) which aired May 27, 2017. 

 

This week we relearn what it feels like to really like one of the people in the episode, then find out they might not be so great. This time, it's not the clients (we really liked them) but one of the ghosts! Uncle Bob seemed so cool until we found out he's a little pervy. And he hates those curtains.

 

We talked about how to get your potassium, some ideas for making versatile chicken dishes, and asked the question, can ghosts be narcissistic?

 

So, grab your Thesaurasus, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

 

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention Child death in history (likely SIDS), and really horrible treatment of enslaved people. Also, we swear, so don’t listen with your kids in the car unless you’re cool with that.

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Madhouse” (Season 5 Episode 11) which aired July 18, 2015.

 

We also talked about back when you could gift your wife to someone, went off on a little tangent about our current favorite show, “School Spirits, and sang a few songs (Scalla Moo!)

 

Even thought Amy lit her “No Tech Goblins Stick” we still had some weird glitches that we left in so you can determine if it’s internet issues, or true Tech Goblins. Please let us know!

 

So, grab your Bingo Cards, and join us where… The Activity Continues. WOW!

 

And remember Megan’s Motto: Keep Your Bladder Goin’.

In this episode of The Activity Continues, host Amy and her co-hosts welcome Brittany Baxter Damron, a mental health therapist with insights into mediumship and paranormal phenomena.

Brittany discusses her therapeutic approaches, such as EMDR and ego state parts work, and how they relate to understanding and processing trauma. She also connects these methods to episodes of 'The Dead Files,' exploring concepts like PK manifestations, possession, and the influence of energy on mental and spiritual health.

The conversation touches on various aspects of psychology, spirituality, and shared personal experiences, aiming to provide listeners with a deeper understanding of the integration between these realms.

This is surely one of our more scienc-y episodes but we still have a great time and a lot of laughs. AND we do connect this to The Dead Files!

So, grab your crystals, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

And remember, neurons that fire together, wire together!

 

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, Megan, and AP 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.

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.

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Absorbed” (Season 11 Episode 12) which aired September 26, 2019.

We got another Dream Property here, as well as a vortex. This one is a horse farm on land that is trying to swallow one of the owners. We learn of a religious zealot, the Hermit on Holy Hill, and some sketchy history that makes no damn sense.

We also talked about our recent dreams and offer tips on what to do if you get stuck in quicksand.

So, grab your sunflower heater, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

 

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 reoccurring jokes about reoccurring 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.

This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Battlefield” (Season 2 Episode 23) which aired June 21, 2013.

We also talked about exorcisms, autopsies, and demons (oh my!). We came up with a new name for a herd of bunnies and worried about things slithering under the bed.

So, grab your beverage of choice, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention Children being harmed by an entity, child death in history, indigenous conflict in history (as usual) so trigger warning for those who need it.

Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

This week we sat down with Beverly McChesney, Universal Channeler, Reiki Master, and psychic. She came to us through Spirit Mechanix and we’ve been so looking forward to speaking with her.

 

We talked about so many fun things: Healing, gratitude, animal communication, and past lives. She also shares a manifestation secret!

 

She also talked about how she knew she had abilities (poor Tammy), her time at a horse farm, and her husband the Dragon Meister!

 

So, grab a chili dog, and join us where… The Activity Continues.

 

Note: AP was unable to join us for this one.

 

Content Warning:

 In this episode we mention pregnancy, miscarriage and abortion briefly. Also deaths of family pets (old age, and hit by vehicle) so trigger warning for those who need it. We didn’t even swear much because we didn’t tell Beverly head of time that she could. So we were pretty good for most of it.

 

The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. Our recaps are full of reoccurring jokes about reoccurring tropes.
