- 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.

Unconvincing
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.
