    Second most favorite paranormal show

    I've been watching The Dead Files since it began. I find Amy to be very believable.

    One reviewer gave one example of why he felt Amy was a fake. Amy said a helicopter crash involved it "spinning", yet he researched it & it clipped a mountain & exploded, instead.

    Any is seldom 100% accurate. There are, more often than not, some inconsistencies between her information & Steve's research. It is for that reason that I find her credible. If she were spot on every time, I would be suspicious. I doubt any medium is 100% accurate. Her accuracies & inaccuracies both convince me she's the real deal.

    Yes, she does have a potty mouth sometimes & yes, she's a little quirky at times. Sometimes she's on the show with makeup & sometimes with no makeup at all. The fact that she's not polished tells me she's not putting on any acts; just being herself. The first season, she was waaay out there. I don't know if the producers urged her to act that way, but it didn't last long.

    Loving Cindy

    Thank you to Cindy for co-hosting this show. I have a very hard time relating with Amy or taking anything she says seriously as she tends to smile at inappropriate moments ie. " He's evil" while grinning. Part of the job, especially when dealing with already traumatized people, so more sensitivity is required than that. Although Amy may indeed feel very bad for these people but it doesn't translate, and Infact comes off like she's mocking their situation. If I were the client and saw that, I'd send her packing. Cindy, on the other hand comes off as very sympathetic and sincere and her empathy registered in her face. Please make her the host more often.

    I love the show, but....

    I love this show. Amy and Steve are great. The reason I gave it 7 stars is because at the end of the show, the situation is left undone and dangerous. The activity usually continues. A heap of really scary information about what's happening is given to families, as well as advice about how to clear the space.. The majority of families can't find shamans, reiki masters and mediums to do these clearings. It is very, very hard to find people with gifts to do these types of clearings. I would love the producers to bring in people to clear the spaces and incorporate in the clearings in the show.

    My Favorite Show

    If i could vote 100 stars I totally would! :) This is my favorite Ghost show on TV! It might even be my favorite show on TV now in general. I always watch it with my family every Friday night! :) I really hope to see it back for season two and many more! Everyone involved with this show does an excellent job (What is a better word for excellent?) Amy and Steve find such amazing results in their investigation! So happy to see a show with real paranormal evidence, And proof! I Just cant wait to see the next season of this wonderful show! I'm entertained with the reruns of the show too, and I typically hate watching something twice, but The Dead Files is the only exception! :D

    Interesting but

    Started watching this series and wonder, as I do about all these types shows, why do they only investigate at night? I know from experience that spirits come out in the daytime as well. And why in almost every episode is there a spirit who wants to kill people or make people kill people? And why are there Never any nice spirits? Not everyone who passed is evil.

    • Trivia
      Several viewers have reported incongruencies in The Dead Files: in one episode Amy stated that she was obsessed with Lizzie Borden at one time, and then a few episodes later, they went to the Lizzie Borden house, and Amy claimed that she had no idea where she was, or knew anything about the house.
    • Goofs
      In over a dozen seasons, not a single homeowner has ever produced any video footage of the violent paranormal activity they claim takes place in their house night and day, non-stop in many cases; they are homeowners who live in expensive houses and could easily afford video recording equipment yet none of them has been able to set up a tripod or even record anything paranormal whatsoever with their cell phone.
