This week we have a special treat for you! We are chatting with Travis Bilbrey the sketch artist from the Season Finale of The Dead Files “The Eternal Haunting” (Season 15 Episode 13) which aired October 19, 2023. We also recap the episode a bit, after the interview. Folks, we have thoughts.
Content Warning:
This is a general content warning, many of the episodes of the TV show talk about murders, some even involving children. So that may come up in our conversation as well. So please proceed with that in mind. But if you already watch The Dead Files you’ll be prepared.
This one is full of yuck. Racism, slavery, sexual abuse/rape of slaves, and child death so trigger warning for those who need it.
Also, we swear.
The Activity Continues is a podcast where soul sisters, Amy and Megan usually chat about the TV show, The Dead Files. Our other soul sister Amy (AP) keeps us in check with facts, figures, and other fun things. We talk about pets, true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other creepy paranormal shit and sometimes we interview really cool people. Whether it be a paranormal professional, a Dead Files client, or a friend with cool stories.
So, grab your beverage of choice, hop in the car, don’t worry, Steve’s driving, and join us when… The Activity Continues.
