143: The Haunted Puppeteer
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!

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.
