    160: Year-End Shenanigans: TAC 2025 Wrap Up
    Dec 23 2025
    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 requests, out-of-context pig facts (yep, you read that right), gratitude for the lovely people we interviewed this year, and our ongoing quest for the perfect ghost story. There’s talk of imaginary friends, spirit guides, investigating haunted hotels (with adult diapers and crystals, obviously), and a whole lot of gratitude for everyone who stuck around through the shenanigans. But don’t get misty-eyed—this is just our season wrap, not a goodbye! We’ll be back after a short break with even more ghostly antics, wild tangents, and haunted hijinks. So grab your spreadsheet, your “brave pants,” and maybe a crystal or two, and join us where… The Activity Continues. Content Warning: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 and Megan 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. This episode was recorded on December 8, 2025, and released on December 23, 2025.

    159: Panic at the Disco, Panic in the Hallway
    Dec 11 2025
    This week we’re recapping The Dead Files episode “House of Mirrors,” 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. cremation vs. body farm” debate that absolutely will not die. We talk of the upcoming season finale, listener suggestions for new investigations, potential paranormal podcast crossovers, and haunted places within road-trip distance that the TAC crew could visit in 2026. Prepare for tricksters, history, side quests, and a whole lot of laughing at the absurdity of it all. So grab your Oregon chai (trust us), get cozy, and join us…where The Activity Continues. Content Warning: In this episode we mention suicide by hanging (or was it?) and some child death in history. Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not.

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.
