It’s one thing to experience a haunting or isolated paranormal encounter, and another all together to discover you may possess an ability to see and communicate with the dead. In tonight’s campfire episode, young psychic/medium Kate found herself in this very situation. Beginning in her early childhood with paranormal activity occurring at each new home she moved to with her family, she just assumed they were unfortunate in that they were moving into haunted house after haunted house. However, as Kate grew into young adulthood, and things seemed to follow her when she moved from Midland to San Antonio, Texas, she began to pay attention to what was going on around her. But it wasn't until an unexpected message from a missing boy on a flier she stumbled on in San Antonio came to her that she realized she possessed a very unique ability. So cozy up to the fire with us tonight and let’s take a journey with Kate as she guides us through her journey of realizing her gifts.

A transplanted historic home, now sitting atop a cliffside in farwest Austin, has its residents questioning whether or not they are alone in their residence. Kevin, Sherry and their 6 year old daughter Jolene moved into the home in 2018 and each has been having both unique and shared experiences ever since. Kevin, a local musician, candidly shared with us in the previous episode all he’s experienced in this home. He’s reported faces peering from bookshelves while recording music, shadow figures standing in doorways, sightings of what he believes to be a little girl wearing white stockings, and a disembodied voice captured on a studio recording of a song. Following an interview with Kevin, the family had dropped off and seemingly lost interest in pursuing further investigation with the Night Owl team. However, Stephen was shocked to get a call from Kevin’s wife Sherry one night, informing him she’d finally witnessed something herself - she saw stockinged feet running across the upstairs kitchen stairway. In this episode, the team will travel to the Pompee House for the first time to conduct in-person interviews with Sherry and their 6 year old daughter Jolene to dig deeper into these strange occurrences. They’ll uncover more activity the family has experienced and bring in a psychic/medium to see if they can provide any answers as to what’s really going on in this historic home.

Join the Night Owl team as they embark on a new paranormal adventure, this one at home built in 1887 that’s had a long and colorful history.

Tonight’s campfire takes back twenty years ago, to a quaint Ohio college town, where Lindsey and her two roommates were scrambling to find new lodging for the semester. But when a seemingly perfect place magically comes to them, Lindsey soon begins to question how this place fell in their lap. There were some strange things she began to notice about the home. Her bedroom had a deadbolt lock on the inside, there was a feeling that you were never really alone in the house, and then there was the old, dank basement that had an eerie symbol painted on its stone walls. Before long, Lindsey was too scared to even leave her room, so much so she had to have her boyfriend Adam walk her everywhere in the home - including the bathroom. There was someone, or something, in this old house that wanted Lindsey...and she knew it. But she couldn’t afford to move, neither could her roommates, so she found herself trapped in this rental from hell.

Multiple reported sightings of a woman in white. Electronics going off in unusual ways. Disembodied voices throughout the building. Feelings of being watched. Sounds of furniture moving or being displaced. Displays and objects falling or being moved far from their original locations. These are just a few of the strange occurrences reported at the Williamson Museum located on the historic downtown square of Georgetown, Texas. After gathering testimony from all the staff and volunteers who came forward with their experiences, the Night Owl team will now venture to the museum to investigate the claims in person and see what dots they might be able to connect regarding the unusual happenings at the Williamson Museum.

The Williamson Museum is located in the gorgeous and historic downtown district of Georgetown, Texas. The museum is housed in a historic building whose lot and early foundations date back to the early 1800’s. It was in 1997 that the building was purchased by The Historical Commission and became home to the Williamson Museum, which has been collecting, preserving, and exhibiting the rich culture and heritage of Williamson County ever since. However, staff and patrons at the museum started to realize that it’s not just the history and culture that is being preserved in the museum, there also seems to be remnants from the past lingering in the hallways and exhibit spaces of this historic building. Having had so many experiences the staff now have names for all their ghosts, they’ve had multiple paranormal investigations, and now have an ongoing ghost tour. So join the Night Owl team as they dive in to explore the entire haunted history of the Williamson Museum. This Episode's Sponsors: The Night Owl: True Ghost Stories is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In this concluding episode of this series, investigating a popular Haunted House attraction here in Austin TX, the Night Owl team brings in psychic friend Sara to explore the haunt and its corridors in hopes of gaining more clues to the mysterious happenings at this unique site. From previous episodes of interviews and exploration,  they learned that the haunt has been experiencing paranormal activity since its early beginnings at their Highland Mall location, but continues to this day in their current Ridgepoint location. Aside from ominous feelings and unexplained footsteps or doors opening, the staff are also seeing a tall shadow figure, creatures scurrying through the hallways and up the walls, the spirit of a small girl, and there are places, especially Haunt 3, the Haunted Manor, that have staff almost too terrified to do their job. At the end of the previous episode, the team made an eerie discovery, a casket that was found in the vacant building when House of Torment moved in,  that could potentially be a source for the activity they are experiencing in Haunt 3. Join the Night Owl team now as they revisit this haunt with Sara and try to get to the bottom of the odd happenings at the House of Torment. This Episode's Sponsors: Sponsored by BetterHelp.

Haunted House attractions have been around for over a century and here in Austin, The House of Torment has been evoking fear and eliciting screams from guests for over 20 years. However, in a place designed to scare attendees with props, sound effects, and professional actors, in this long standing haunt, the actors hiding behind hidden doors are experiencing strangeness that has them fearful to do their job. In the previous episode the team learned from some of the staff and founders that the haunt has been experiencing paranormal activity since its early beginnings at their Highland Mall location, and oddly enough, continues today in their current Ridgepoint location. Now, the team dives deeper into the more recent activity experienced here at Ridgepoint from new voices that not only reaffirm some of the experiences we’ve heard from the previous episode, but bring to light some newer experiences that include physical attacks and rumors of a young girl spirit. Finally, through the interviews and a walkthrough the haunt, Stephen, Franklyn and Alexis and I will make an eerie discovery that could be a source for the activity they are experiencing in the most active site, Haunt 3, the Haunted Manor.

Chainsaws, strobe lights, blood-splattered walls, creepy clowns and blood-curdling screams. These are just a few things you would expect to encounter at a haunted house attraction. But for one particular haunt here in Austin, Texas, there are things other than actors and props eliciting fear in their venue. The House of Torment is a long-standing commercial haunted house where its employees are paid to scare the pants off their guests. But at this location, something is literally scaring the pants off of them. With reported shadow figures darting through the halls, sightings of doppelgängers mimicking the staff, eerie figures climbing the walls, doors opening on their own, and mysterious footsteps circling employees working alone at night, Stephen and the team aren’t sure what they’ve gotten themselves into…but they’re about to find out. Join the Night Owl team as they dive into their first haunted house attraction that may actually be…. haunted! This Episode's Sponsors: Thanks HelloFresh!

Previously, we heard husband and wife Lukas and Witney recount the strange activity that has been occurring in their recently purchased home. Conducting interviews via phone with them and two of their former tenants, Stephen learned that they were experiencing paranormal activity including falling objects, phantom smells, shadow figures, strange noises, sleep disturbances, and the overall feeling of an ominous presence watching them. With their young daughter in their home and also being subjected to some disturbing experiences, most notably a phantom pinching incident, these parents want answers for what’s going on. Now, the Night Owl team travels to their home to conduct a thorough paranormal investigation.

In December of 2019, husband and wife, Lukas and Whitney, began a new chapter of their life in a new home they purchased in Austin Texas.  They had their first baby on the way and Whitney’s sister, Erika,  transitioning with them until she could find a place of her own. But with a new baby arriving and an unexpected pandemic unknowingly about to hit our country, Whitney and Lukas were about to face one of the most challenging times of their lives. Fleeing New York during the pandemic, Lukas’s sister Abby would move in as well and the four residents would start to experience a growing number of strange happenings.  Falling objects, ominous feelings, phantom smells, and strange sounds on their baby monitor were just a few of the things that everyone in the household were witnessing. Join Stephen as he dives into preliminary interviews and begins investigating the details of this new residential haunting that happened at the very start of the COVID-19 pandemic.   Thanks  Athletic Greens.  Go to athleticgreens.com/nightowl to get a FREE 1-year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase. 

A boutique vision center, nestled in the Texas Hill Country has been experiencing a plethora of unusual phenomena. The staff experience eye frames falling off the racks, objects going missing then rediscovered in unusual places,  loud recurring bangs on the interior walls, rubber balls seemingly appearing out of thin air, disembodied voices and sounds, shadow figures, and even two full-bodied apparition sightings of a female spirit in their Exam Room 2. After investigating  these claims with the team and psychic Sara, some interesting theories were brought to light. Through interviews and psychic readings, it was theorized that some form of witchcraft may have been performed on this property in the past, and earth spirits of a mischievous nature may be trapped on the property. Now, for the first time in Night Owl history, Stephen seeks out counsel and assistance from a local witch to see if they can provide any more answers, and possible solutions, to the staff at Dripping Springs Vision Center.
