The Activity Continues

• 153: The Shadow Creeper

  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 pastAll 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.Chapter Markers 00:00:00 Intro00:00:26 Hello!00:03:30 Overview00:05:32 The Set Up00:31:00 The Investigation00:38:07 The Reveal00:47:06 Research and Rabbit Holes00:52:09 Goodbye00:52:42 Outro/Disclaimer Episode links:Blog written by Larry Wood, Steve’s contact on the episode: https://ozarks-history.blogspot.com/2011/09/lane-britton.htmlEmma Mae Liebhart: https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-neosho-times-emma-mae-pt-1/26944534/The Dead Files Official Podcast: https://pod.link/1642377102 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.

• 152: White Collars Black Lungs

   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. 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.
