Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dead Files is a Paranormal Investigation series on The Travel Channel, starring psychic medium Amy Allan and retired NYPD detective Steve DiSchavi. It debuted in 2011 and has had 13 seasons as of early 2021.The show's premise is that Allen and DiSchavi conduct separate investigations of the reported paranormal activity, with no contact with each other until they reveal their findings to their client(s). Steve interviews the clients and people connected to them and investigates the history of the location where the supposed haunting is occurring, usually uncovering many dark events connected to the location. Amy does a psychic reading of the location at night, with her ex-husband as her cameraman (and a separate camera crew that's not acknowledged). Afterward, she has a sketch artist do a rendering of one or two of the things she saw during the reading. Once the investigations are complete, Amy and Steve meet with the clients and reveal their findings, and Amy gives her recommendations about how the clients can deal with the paranormal issues.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Cluster F-Bomb: In the more recent seasons, Amy gets much more liberal with the profanity as she's reacting to things in her readings.

Confession Cam: Steve is often filmed talking about aspects of the cases and what he's going to be doing via a camera in his car. Amy does this at times during her reading (talking about her experiences), during the sketch sequence (talking about what she's describing to the sketch artist), and at the end of the episode (making a brief commentary about the overall experience and her recommendations for how to deal with the episode's haunting(s)).

Deliberately Monochrome: Subverted; while Amy's reading is done at night with all the lights out, it's never consistent as to whether she's filmed in black and white or in color, either by her ex's hand-held camera or the other film crew.
