The Deittman Files: a Paranormal Mystery

25/12/2023

Happy Holidays to all of our friends, family, followers, and fellow ghost hunting enthusiasts!! The end of the year has been INSANE for us at the Deittman Files "office" and we still have one more episode before we break for the mid-season.

We wish everyone the happiest of holiday seasons and safe travels for those who are out and about! (AND, in case you missed it, we snuck out an episode last Friday, just in case you needed something to entertain you on long drives or layovers!!)

Case 13-006: Sins of the Mother

Josephine Salinas has a few skeletons in her closet, and it turns out she isn't who she claims to be. How did she become the famous debunker she is today? Her upbringing with the well-known traveling Medium, Madame Costa, might have something to do with it...

When Dr. Deittman receives a call to investigate the family owned Barrett House in quaint little Lily Dale, he jumps at the chance to send his investigators to town that has been called the 'World’s Largest Center for the Religion of Spiritualism.' As the case progresses, however, it becomes clear that Dr. Deittman's over eagerness outweighed his research efforts, leading to a rather aggravating outcome...

Markus and Ash set off to solve a strange mystery at an old retirement home--a location that a client hopes to turn into housing , but only if the site proves safe enough to call contractors back in to finish the renovation work. The case takes a turn when a familiar face pops up, making the pair wonder who is really behind their paycheck...

Dr. Deittman's team is sent a recent news story about a team of paranormal investigators who supposedly disappeared while recording in the Broadhead Penitentiary, a reportedly haunted location only recently opened for investigations. Is the footage real? Or is it all a scripted and staged hoax, one planned by amateur investigators to gain internet clout?

Ready to dive back into the field (or at least, needing to collect a paycheck,) Ash sets off with Markus as they make a house call. A rather well-known doll collector has had a sudden 'uptick' in paranormal activity which has become too much for her to bear...

In a few days (1/27), "the Deittman Files: a Paranormal Mystery" audio drama returns! We'd like to thank all of our listeners who have continued to listen and share during our mid-season break!

Now for Some Q & A!

These questions came in from a listener during a livestream presented by one of our editors!

Q: Do the Deittman Files investigators get permission to visit the site they go to?

A: Funny you should ask that... as it's something covered in our next episode, "Case 13-6: Odd Occurrences at the Orphanage!" Without spoiling too much, the answer is... no. Should they? Absolutely. In the real world, paranormal investigators absolutely should get permission to go to their chosen sites. Not only to avoid, you know, trespassing charges, but also for safety. Often times, buildings are off limits for a reason, and it isn't for a deep seeded secret. It's for safety. Buildings left to thee elements or simply left uncared for can be dangerous. They are also unsecure. The Deittman Files creative team actually have a story that deals with an open air location (that they had permission to go to,) that had someone else on the property who wasn't supposed to be there....

If you have questions, feel free to comment, DM, or reach out to us on our Discord (the link to which can be found on our website!)

Happy Hauntings everyone!

In one week (1/27), "the Deittman Files: a Paranormal Mystery" audio drama returns! We'd like to thank all of our listeners who have continued to listen and share during our mid-season break!

Now for Some Q & A!

These questions came in from a listener during a livestream presented by one of our editors!

Q: Are Aliens part of the Deittman Files Universe (where they are factual and exist)?

A: Well... if you listen to episode 2 of the Deittman Files, Spencer sure thinks so! Is it something we'll explore in the audio drama or the novels? Maybe! Aliens exist in the DFU the same way they do in our world--there is not enough evidence to say one way, or another! And even if that evidence did exist... who is to say anyone would believe it? The world of the Deittman Files is a world where people can throw fireballs, move objects with their minds, and speak to the dead, but very few people accept those abilities, even when confronted with them directly.

When it comes to the Deittman Files: a Ghost Hunting RPG, we encourage players to decide for themselves if beings like Aliens or other extra-dimensional beings exist in *their* version of the world! The truth is out there... let us know what you find and the stories you tell!
