Sombras do Além

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

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.

I tend to believe what psychics say in shows about spirits haunting places more than what so-called scientific evidence investigation shows come up with. The Dead Files has given me a real sense what a creepy haunting is like. Better than trying to make us believe in the equipment used on ghost investigation shows... the ultimate bogus device being The Ovilus. A prime example of a show with purely manipulated "evidence" and video edit faking is what you see on Ghost Adventures. It's in the same class as Most Haunted out of the UK.

As far as shows featuring psychic work, The Dead Files is better than average and has a more authentic feel than the above-mentioned physical evidence shows.

I watch all these paranormal shows but I think this is probably the worst I've seen.

Amy Allan walks around a location she knows "nothing" about making faces that have an animatronics look about them. Then she reveals some uncannily accurate information. Notably more accurate information than psychics ever give outside of this format, which has been used on shows like haunted homes etc. She's joined by a retired detective who does a great "I'm surprised at that!" face.

The first thing I find unconvincing about her is the way she'll tell you there's a dead person stood right in front of her but she barely gives it a second glance. If you really could see dead people wouldn't you be slightly more interested in looking at that than the camera?

Then there's the Lizzie Borden house. She tells a little girl in a previous episode that she was obsessed with that house as a child yet, the very next episode claims to have no idea where she is. Did she get there by rendition or what? That bears some explaining I think.

I gave up watching this one. I like ghost hunting shows but this just seems very phoney to me. Also, just as an aside I looked into the helicopter crash she described. The victim wasn't spinning around as she suggests, it clipped a hill and exploded instantly. The sensation of spinning around is just the kind of thing a bogus psychic would slip in because it sounds fitting.

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.
