- November 28, 2014
The Dead Files is a paranormal investigative show that follows psychic medium Amy Allan and retired homicide detective Steve DiSchiavi as they investigate haunted locations across America. In season 5 episode 16, titled "Revisited: Tortured Souls and Evil Within," Amy and Steve revisit two locations previously investigated to see if their past findings have had any impact on the haunting activity.
The first location is a historical mansion in Waterford, Virginia, where the current owners have experienced paranormal activity for years. During their initial investigation, Steve uncovered a tragic family history involving the suicide of a young woman and the murder of her father by her jilted suitor. Amy, meanwhile, sensed the presence of several ghosts, including that of the murdered man and the woman who ended her own life.
In their revisit, Amy and Steve check in with the new owners to see if the activity has continued. They also bring in a forensic sketch artist to draw images based on the ghosts Amy saw during her previous visit. Finally, they perform a ritual to try and cleanse the house of any negative energy.
The second location is an old hotel in Mount Vernon, Ohio, where the owners have reported seeing apparitions and hearing strange noises. During their initial investigation, Amy encountered the spirit of a woman who had been a prostitute in the hotel's early days and had been murdered by a client. Steve, meanwhile, uncovered a history of underground tunnels used for bootlegging during Prohibition.
In their revisit, Amy and Steve discover that the hotel has undergone some renovations and changes since their first visit. They check in with the owners to see if the activity has continued and perform a follow-up investigation to see if any new spirits have appeared. They also explore the tunnels in greater detail and try to make contact with any spirits who might be lurking within.
Throughout the episode, Amy and Steve use their usual methods of investigation, with Amy relying on her psychic abilities to communicate with spirits and Steve using his detective skills to research the history of each location. They also take time to reflect on how their previous findings have affected their own lives and whether they've been able to help the spirits they've encountered.
"Revisited: Tortured Souls and Evil Within" is a fascinating look at how paranormal investigation can have a lasting impact on both the investigators and the locations they visit. By revisiting these sites, Amy and Steve offer new insights into the hauntings and try to bring closure to the spirits who are still lingering.
