À propos de cet audio

 Well, well, well...if it isn’t the consequences of one’s own actions rearing their heads. At least two people in this story are getting their just desserts.In this episode, we head to Seattle to revisit one of The Dead Files’ early cases—This time, Amy and AP dive into "Burned Alive", where a bar owner is dealing with vengeful mist creatures, a bathroom ghost, a possibly syphilitic protector spirit, and a religious woman ghost named Mary whose touch can literally kill you. So, that’s fun.This Dead Files episode (S5 E7) originally aired June 13, 2015.We talk about the Merchant Cafe and Saloon—one of Seattle’s oldest bars—and the heavy energy tied to its long, sometimes tragic, history. Highlights include:A wine rack catastrophe that even Steve can’t rationalize.Some early 2000s mood lighting choices and Top Chef nostalgia.Theories about sepsis, pneumonia, and why paranormal illness may not be all that paranormal.And yes, the horrifying realities of mob justice in the 1800s. (Spoiler: it’s not the fun kind of mob.)Also discussed: haunted dolls, ghostly health risks, Empress Gin color science, and a little behind-the-scenes peek on the making of our show.So grab your shaky lime and haunted barware, and join us—where The Activity Continues.

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.This episode was recorded on June 2, 2025 and released on July 10, 2025.
