Amy Allan once became the face of the paranormal as the co-host of the Travel Channel’s hit series ‘The Dead Files.’
However, she is apparently no longer part of the show.
Find out why she is leaving Dead Files and what she is up to now
Who is Amy Allan?
Amy Allan is a medium who is best known as the co-host of Travel Channel’s, “The Dead Files,” that she stars in alongside retired homicide detective Steve DiSchiavi.
In the show, they solve unexplained paranormal occurrences in locations believed to be haunted across the country.
Allan uses her ability to communicate with the dead which often involves her taking their role and even reliving their death while DiSchiavi offers his years of experience in law enforcement.
Why did Amy Allan leave Ghost Hunter?
In April 2023, the Travel Channel announced The Dead Files was returning with season 15 but that Amy Allan would not be joining them as she was on a “personal break.”
This season marks a significant change as it bids a bittersweet farewell to Amy Allan, a dedicated partner to [Steve] DiSchiavi for over 200 episodes,” the network stated in a press release. “As a gifted physical medium, Allan has been a fundamental part of the team since the show’s inception in 2011.”
The network added, “After years of doing this intense work, Allan will be stepping down for a personal break, passing the torch over to fellow psychic medium Cindy Kaza, who will continue to help solve cases of unexplained paranormal phenomena alongside DiSchiavi.”
Amy Allan confirmed her exit in an Instagram video shortly after, further responding to a fan who asked what’s next for her.
“Taking a year to get healthy! Enjoying my online store, massage school refresher, guiding a few workshops & even a paranormal weekend or two!” she replied.
What is Amy Allan Doing now?
Amy Allan seems to be doing exactly what she said she was going to do when she took her exit.
She updated us on her whereabouts and current life in a Facebook post earlier this year in July.
“So, a few things! Thank U 2 those of u still showing ur support for me. U have NO idea how much that means (As far as) TDF, I am not an EP on it anymore,” she began by thanking fans and confirming her status with the show.
“I have only DM’d Cindy w/some B&F, prior 2 her doing the show,” she added about her relationship with her replacement, fellow medium, Cindy Kaza.
“As far as what I am doing r/nI am healing, mentally/emotionally/physically & spiritually! I am currently Shut Down per my guides, as a physical medium. I am working w/my guides on the meditations they r leading me on. I will be on this journey for about 1 year,” she continued that she was still on a year-long break.
Amy Opened Her Brand New Online Store
Amy is also busy with her new online store which she talked about a lot for the rest of the post.
She also posted a picture of some of the products of her new store while also showing off her bold new hairstyle which was a cherry coke red in color.
Amy Allan is 50 Years Old
It is nice that Amy Allan is taking some time off especially considering that she turned 50 years old this year.
She was born on May 31, 1973, in Denver, Colorado, and had faced paranormal activities since she was 4 years old at her home at that time in Arvada.
She celebrated her 50th birthday earlier this year online alongside a super realistic picture of a bunch of medications like Tylenol.
“What my b-day morning looks like at 50,” she wrote in the caption, “three-day headache,&the need to function.
“Thank you all for the B-Day wishes! I also really want to thank u for stopping into my shop! Y! Because it keeps me going so happy doing it! & it’s a step in my dream direction,” she added.
Recently Amy Allan had Oral Surgery
Amy Allan recently shared a candid update alongside a photo, reflecting on the whirlwind of events she’s experienced over the past couple of weeks. Initially attributing discomfort to excessive tooth brushing, she found herself facing a far more serious issue—a double infection that had not only affected her teeth but had also infiltrated her sinus cavity and eroded bone.
Despite not being visible in the ‘crazy X-ray’ she shared, she found some fascination in showcasing the intricacies of dental imaging technology. However, her journey didn’t stop there; she underwent oral surgery to repair the damage to her bone and membrane, a procedure that understandably left her feeling queasy.
As if that weren’t enough, she then succumbed to a bout of cold or flu, causing her to fall behind in her schoolwork and apologizing for any neglected responsibilities, perhaps in her business.
The experience left her in a dazed state, owing to the medications she had to take. Through it all, she expresses her genuine hope that her followers are faring better. And amidst the chaos, she made a bold decision to cut off all her hair—a symbolic gesture of perhaps shedding the weight of her recent trials.
Good evening Amy,
