Early Life:

Amy Allan was born on May 31, 1973, in Denver, Colorado, United States. Amy’s interest in the paranormal started when she was tormented by the shadow people at four years of age. She did not fully understand what was going on until she was in her 20s when she learned the terminology and application of her abilities. Amy would consume any material made on paranormal encounters including books, movies, and many more. After graduating from her local high school, Amy moved to Arizona to study at The University of Arizona. She graduated with a degree in psychology and continued to informally study religion, sociology, sleep, and sleep disorders. During her time at the university, Amy was mentored by the world-renowned parapsychologist William Roll. She also studied various forms of alternative healing.

Profession:

While Amy is well-known in the supernatural communities she has explained that she likes to make a distinction between a medium and a psychic. A medium is someone who only works with the dead, while a psychic can know things about the past, present and possible future. On her method as a medium, she says she does not look for ghosts specifically but rather communicates with spirits to find out insight into past events. In her career as a medium, Amy has worked on more than 350 cases and has faced her share of challenges and scariest moments, such as being physically attacked, being caught off guard, being followed home and being jumped out of the closet by a spirit dressed like a ghost.

Her abilities have often been called into action by leading para-psychologists who wanted to study her abilities. Over the years, Amy has worked with fellow para-psychologists and police officers. She has also worked with a forensic sketch artist to draw images that she claims to witness. Allan frequently contributed to private and police investigations using her extraordinary abilities before she was approached by screenwriter Jim Casey, who created and executive produced The Dead Files. The show premiered on September 23, 2011, on Travel Channel and moved to Discovery+ in 2021.

Television career:

Amy achieved worldwide fame following her numerous appearances in the reality TV series, “The Dead Files.” The series features the adventures of Amy Allan and Steve DiSchiavi, who is a retired homicide detective with more than 20 years of experience. As a medium, Amy often lets spirits inhabit her body and attempts to find out the reason for their death. On the other hand, her partner Steve DiSchiavi talks with the living to find traces of physiological evidence to better solve the problem at hand. The series paints the obvious difference between the world of the supernatural and the world of the living. When Amy and her partner come together to discuss the findings, the differences are never subtle.
