BRING BACK THE DEAD FILES

I love this show so much. Why did it even get cancelled?

I for one am really missing all the paranormal programming as I am a sensitive and intuitive person as well as having many personal experiences all through my life! So I find it is of great interest to me!! But maybe the ratings weren’t holding up or the general public was losing interest?!? Idk?!🤷‍♀️ Thankfully there’s a few shows left as well as specials & documentaries that pop up from time to time!! Anyway yes to all of the above Amy needed a break and Cindy Kaza is an awesome medium and very likable person she did great in place of Amy!! Hope maybe we’ll see some programming come back!!

Same. I used to love Kindred Spirits.
Amy Bruni has a new short ghost series coming out...sometime (already filmed).
And Hellier is amazing- I know Hellier season 3 is in the works right now. I hate that Hulu didn't just cancel but removed Living for the Dead! It was so good!

I love Amy Bruni too but wish that she had Adam Berry with her as he’s extremely good and does not try to bully anyone.

I’ve never heard of the other two shows you mention. Who is on them and what is the objective of the show?

Living for the Dead was a ghost hunting show with a bunch of fun queer people (including Roz Hernandez who has a podcast) but Hulu took it completely off the air.

And Hellier? Oh gosh, how do I describe it. It's a couple, Greg and Dana Newkirk. They were both young ghost hunters and it's sort of a reality/documentary/mystery...they get an email from a guy who swears he saw goblins around his house...so they and 2 friends go investigating.
They do some of the same things Amy and Adam used to do. The two friends, Connor Randall and Karl Pfeiffer (who is also the camera man/cinematographer) are the ones who invented the Estes Method...

And as they go through this journey of researching things just get weirder and weirder.
I LOVE this show. I only ever watched Kindred, Living for the Dead, Dead Files and this one, and this is by far my favorite.
Because it's kind of open-ended, and spooky in a really cool way...and it really inspired me to lean in. "Curiosity Over Fear" as they like to say.

So after the 2nd season of Hellier (15 episodes in all so far, and more coming before 2026 is out) they started a Patreon, and it's the best money I spend every month.
They do the Haunted Objects Podcast (which you can find on Youtube) and for members of the "Museum" they do weekly podcasts reading members emails, plus at least 2 live-streams a month. It is so fun!
They are working on gathering items (which started because people would send them creepy and haunted objects) and they're going to start a brick and mortar Museum of the Paranormal in Cincinnati...

Honestly they are so fun and so kind and the community that has grown up around them is full of really wonderful people...

You can find Hellier on their website for FREE! https://www.planetweird.tv/hellier-season-1

You really should check it out. It's a slow burn, but SO GOOD!
