Storyline

- TriviaSeveral 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.
- GoofsThe process of editing a TV show, which might be lost on modern audiences, clearly gives away their ruse. TDF claims that, in order to prevent undue influence on the other's findings, allegedly, both Amy and Steve make it a point to investigate independently of the other, and supposedly only interact with each other at the end when they reveal their findings to the clients. Amy's cameraman is seen going into the house ahead of time, and removing pictures, religious items, and any other personal items that may lead Amy or influence her reading. However, of course, there is no way to corroborate this, or that she wasn't shown the homeowners items ahead of time. And this does not matter because Amy always repeats the same thing over and over again about there being a mean ghost who is being 'very bad', and who acts out when they don't get any attention. In reality, they are all actors posing as 'homeowners with a ghost" and the whole thing is scripted. This is corroborated by simply watching the show back to back, as the Travel Channel tends to air them every week, and hearing Amy constantly repeat the same exact monologues, as does Steve. Of course, Amy, being no psychic, does not 'predict" anything at all. It has long been revealed that so-called reality TV shows are of course scripted ahead of time and nothing is left to chance.

Great show!
This is actually an original and amazing idea for a very old genre. Steve and Amy work very well together, and you can tell that they get more comfortable working with each other as the show progresses. I don't know if Amy's abilities are real or not, and who cares? This show is way better than the shows where plumbers, models, etc. spend an hour dropping the F-bomb while scaring themselves and yelling at nothing. Amy and Steve have devoted their lives to being professional seekers of truth, and have the credentials to back that up. It's not a hobby, or something that sounded like a good idea at the time for them. They also don't need to use pseudo-scientific nonsense to try to give themselves credibility.
To the critics: First, Amy is a PHYSICAL medium, so she feels a lot of what she's seeing, and that's partly why her genuine facial expressions appear on the show. Also, if you've watched the Travel Channel videos of her days out, she's just naturally a bubbly and animated person.
Second, yes, she's been on other shows, which actually establishes her bona fides rather than discredits her. She stated clearly in the episode of A Haunting that she was a physical medium in addition to being a paranormal investigator. The two are not mutually exclusive, so try and think outside the box.
Third, if you knew anything about producing a show, you'd know that many hours of footage never make it to TV. Amy and Steve work independently, and the show's very talented editors later add the background music, etc., and they edit the many hours worth of footage down to about 42 minutes. That's why they are able to show Amy and Steve uncovering their findings as the show progresses. It's called the magic of television. You're not watching a live show. Try and think outside the box, OK? Basically, just enjoy the many locations in America they visit, and the stories that people have to tell. I've purchased the available seasons of the show, and the Revisited episodes as well. If you don't like the show, that's your right. That doesn't require trashing the show simply because you don't understand TV production, or have personal issues with the cast.
This show is awesome!
