153: The Shadow Creeper
Manage episode 504290937 series 3321789
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 past
All 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.
