We have come to enjoy different types of TV shows during our pandemic isolation. One that is actually kind of scary is a show on the Travel Channel ominously titled The Dead Files.
This paranormal themed show features Amy Allan, a physic medium and paranormal researcher, and Steve DiSchiavi, a retired homicide detective with 20 years experience with the New York City Police Department. The show first aired in 2011, and is currently in its 13th season.
Each episode has a different “client” of theirs, and the two investigate each haunting/paranormal event separately. Allan performs walks of the property and as a sensitive, she sees and sometimes talks to the dead spirits. DiSchiavi on the other hand, does police style research, interviewing others who have connection or history to the place. He also digs into the past stories of the property, finding documents and old photos. The two do not compare notes until the end.
When they present their “Reveal” to the clients at the end of the show the results are startling. Allan often uses a police artist to make a sketch of the ghosts she has seen, and the most of the time this sketch is the same entity the property owners have seen. Amy and Steve then offer solutions to getting rid of the ghosts.
Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, this is a fun show to watch, even for just a couple of episodes. If you have an interest in ghost hunting, this show is for you. The Dead Files is now streaming on several streaming services.

I am no a true believer however, I do wonder about my Mother! She has haunted us for a while. Some of it was fun, she loved my husband, me not so much. His high school picture and our wedding picture in a silver frame walked away.

Thanks for sharing. Have you ever seen her or felt her presence?

I have felt her presence, however have not seen her. When she was in the nursing home I used to call her and talk for several minutes. She could only say a couple of words. I told her all my troubles and she just listened. I miss that, a lot even though I had to pay for the call. A therapist would have cost more.

I’ve watched that show for a long time and follow Amy Allen on Instagram. Not long after my mother passed in 20212, my niece’s little daughter at the time says that grandma came to visit her in her bedroom. Wow.

Sher just said “Wow” I agree! 🙂

The format they use is always the same but not really predictable to me though. Steve used to have an Instagram account but it vanished. Strange considering his career.

That is odd. I know I have always liked Steve’s ring, it looks like a representation of his NYPD badge, maybe a retirement gift?

We don’t have TV so I don’t know anything about that show. But we have a lot of paranormal activity on our property.

Sounds interesting. My grandparents lived in a haunted house when I was a child. Many stories!

Sounds very interesting. Sometimes encounters are good, sometimes not so good. Hope yours were good.

It was neither good, nor bad, but something that left a lasting impression on me.

Oh dear, I am terrible at watching shows like these … most times I’m sitting with my hands over my eyes (and in the process, missing the whole plot of the story).

I have seen one episode of the Dead Files and I really enjoyed it. It was amazing how the detective and the psychic’s stories paralleled.
