As a ghost-hunting show that's been on the air for over a decade, The Dead Files has covered many chilling cases of paranormal activity. Season 15 Episode 4, titled "Not My Child," is no exception. In this episode, psychic medium Amy Allan and retired homicide detective Steve DiSchiavi travel to Martinez, California to investigate claims of terrifying activity in a family home.
The episode begins with the family, who wish to remain anonymous, describing their experiences. They recount feeling like they're being watched, hearing strange noises, and seeing apparitions of a little girl. Their daughter has also experienced frightening events, including her dresser drawers being opened and slammed shut, and her toys being thrown around the room. The family is at their wits' end and desperate for help.
As Amy and Steve arrive in Martinez, they discuss the case and Amy shares her initial impressions. She feels a heavy energy around the house and senses that there are multiple entities present. Steve starts with his usual investigation, gathering information from public records and historical documents. He uncovers a grisly past for the property, including a murder-suicide that took place in the house in the 1970s.
Steve meets with the family's neighbors and discovers that they've also experienced strange activity. One neighbor claims to have seen the apparition of a little girl, much like the family has reported. Steve also speaks to the family's daughter and listens as she describes her fears and the events she's witnessed. It's clear that she's terrified.
In the meantime, Amy conducts her walk-through of the house. As usual, she's affected by the negative energy and has to pause several times to gather herself. She senses the presence of a dark entity that's been tormenting the family. She also has visions of the previous owners of the house, including the man who committed the murder-suicide. She describes the ghostly presence of a little girl, who is likely the same apparition that the family and their neighbor have seen.
As Amy and Steve review their findings, they join forces to solve the mystery plaguing the family. They agree that the house is indeed haunted by multiple entities, including the man who committed the murder-suicide and the little girl who died in the house. They also believe that the family is being targeted by a dark entity that's been using the energy of the other ghosts to terrorize them.
Amy performs a cleansing ritual on the house, during which she senses that the dark entity is fighting back. She and Steve work together to drive the entity out, using sage and holy water to purify the space. In the end, they believe that they've successfully removed the negative energy from the house, and the family is able to live in peace once again.
The Dead Files Season 15 Episode 4, "Not My Child," is a haunting reminder that some spirits refuse to leave the mortal world behind. Amy and Steve work to unravel the mysteries of this family home and provide a sense of closure for those affected by its dark history.
