  • What happens when an antique mall that’s been a staple of Austin for 40 years suddenly faces its last chapter? The Austin Antique Mall was sadly forced to close its doors on May 15, 2024, but before it did, the staff were determined to unravel the mystery behind the unexplained occurrences that have haunted the store for decades. With thousands of objects cycling through its halls, they suspected that some of these items had carried their own energies—or even spirits—that might have decided to linger long after their departure.

    Join Stephen and the Night Owl team as they dive into their newest paranormal challenge. With a history of strange occurrences, ghostly sightings, and unexplainable noises, the mall’s legacy might hold more secrets than they anticipated.

    Before diving into the heart of the mystery, Stephen will gather firsthand accounts from the staff, seeking clues about the spirits tied to the objects that have come and gone. Accompanied by occult specialist Alexis and two gifted psychic mediums, they’ll prepare to confront the lingering energies and uncover the truth behind the mall’s haunted history.

    Will the Night Owl team unveil the secrets that lie hidden in the shadows of the Austin Antique Mall? Or will they find themselves lost in this football stadium size maze of echoes from the past?

  • Tonight, the team will conclude their series of investigations at the haunted Hotel Havana in San Antonio, Texas. Previously, they gathered testimony from staff and met Kate the Brave, a resident psychic medium who works with the hotel. They learned about the reports of the burning man spirit in the basement, phantoms smells in the lobby, ghosts of children roaming the halls and rooms, shadow figures waking up guests, the spirit of a drag queen who may have resided in the hotel when it was said to be a safe-haven for that community, and most strongly felt by the psychic medium Kate was a weeping woman in the Penthouse suite on the third floor. In part two of this series, the team packed our bags and visited the hotel for a 2 night stay with their very own psychic friend, Jeffery, who was kept unaware of the location or its haunted reports. To the team’s surprise, Jeffery validated two key things in this case: the children on the second floor and, more shockingly, the weeping woman in the Penthouse suite. Uniting the two psychics, Kate and Jeffery, the team then explored the hotel and decided it was no coincidence this woman was seen by both psychics in the exact same room. Join Stephen, Jeffery and Kate now as they try to help an oppressed spirit by answering her cries for help.

  • Tonight, the Night Owl team is packing their bags and traveling to the haunted Hotel Havana in San Antonio, Texas. Built in 1914 and designed in the Mediterranean revival style popular in Cuba at the time, the legendary Hotel Havana is located on a quiet part of the San Antonio Riverwalk. In the previous episode we heard from several staff members, as well as a resident psychic/medium who works with the hotel to provide tours and psychic services. Through these interviews we discovered that the hotel has been experiencing unexplained phenomena since reopening its doors in 2010. We learned of the basement bar with the so-called burning man, or spirit on fire that frightened a housekeeper, phantom smells in the lobby, ghosts of children roaming the halls and rooms, shadow figures waking up guests, the spirit of a drag queen who may have resided in the hotel when it was said to be a safe-haven for that community, and most strongly felt by the psychic/medium Kate the Brave is a weeping woman in the Penthouse suite on the third floor. Join us now as we travel to San Antonio for a two-night stay at the Hotel Havana, where Stephen will be joined not only by the hotel's resident psychic, Kate the Brave, but also the team’s psychic friend, Jeffery, who has no idea where they’re taking him. Together, they’ll explore the haunted hallways and rooms of the hotel to see if they can validate any of the unexplained and eerie occurrences reported at Hotel Havana.

  • Throughout history, hotels have been a common hotbed for reported paranormal activity. In most major cities, you’re bound to discover there is at least one well-known hotel in town rumored to be haunted. Texas alone is riddled with them. There’s the Historic Jefferson Hotel in Jefferson, Texas, Hotel Paisano in Marfa, the Magnolia in Seguin, Texas, and here in Austin, the notorious Driskill Hotel. But tonight, the Night Owl travels to San Antonio, Texas, where haunted hotels abound, including the Menger Hotel, The Black Swan Inn, the Sheraton Gunter, and the Emily Morgan. However, in tonight’s episode, we are called to a lesser known hotel with supposed spooky inhabitants. The Hotel Havana, located on the popular River Walk in San Antonio, Texas, has been experiencing unexplained phenomena since reopening its doors in 2010. There’s a basement bar with a so-called burning man, or spirit on fire that has been seen on multiple occasions, phantom smells in the lobby, ghosts of children roaming the halls and rooms, shadow figures waking up guests, and even a weeping woman heard in the Penthouse suite. The activity is so prevalent that the staff have enlisted the help of a resident psychic to gain insight and also provide readings and guided tours. Join the Night Owl team as they dive into one of San Antonio’s special hidden haunts, The Hotel Havana.

  • In the previous two episodes, the team has been investigating the mysterious happenings at the Pompee house - a transplanted historic home now sitting atop a cliffside in far west Austin. Homeowners Kevin, Sherry and their six year old daughter Jolene have been having strange experiences since moving in in 2018. Through interviews the team learned that the family were having sightings of what they believed to the spirit of a little girl in white stockings, shadow figures in doorways and hallways, disembodied voices calling both Sherry and Jo throughout the house, and lastly the previous home owner who passed away while living in the home has been felt throughout the upstairs front room and parlor. Following the team’s interviews, they decided to bring in their psychic friend Jeffery to see if they could connect any dots between the sightings, the history and what he might pick up on his visit. Jeffery validated many experiences, including the previous homeowners presence. But he also brought to light a slightly more unsettling presence that seemed to like watching the homeowners daughter sleep. This led the family to open up to the team, for the first time, about Jolenes’ night terrors and her fear of sleeping alone. Then, at the end of this initial investigation, a psychic medium named Michelle with no connection to this case, the team or this family was pulled into this case in a unique way. Now, in this episode, the team continues their adventure at the Pompee house, this time with this unexpected new psychic medium joining us from north Texas.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Now, the team further investigates these claims by bringing psychic friend Sara to explore the facility and the grounds in hopes of shedding more light on what the staff at Dripping Springs Vision Center are experiencing.

  • Whenever you go to see your eye doctor, you expect to see and hear the usual sights and sounds associated with an Ophthalmologist's office. Eye Charts, rooms filled with the latest examination equipment, walls covered in frames of various styles and colors, telephones ringing, and the background ambience of patients and staff. But what if those weren't the only sights and sounds you experienced at your visit? What if that field of vision test included full-bodied apparitions, objects mysteriously appearing and disappearing, and shadowy figures out of the corner of your eye? What if the normal office soundtrack was replaced with disembodied whistling and music that cannot be traced to the office sound system? The Night Owl’s next investigation takes us to just such a place. So pack your bags and let’s take a road trip to the Gateway to the Texas Hill country and explore the eerie happenings at Dripping Springs Vision Center.
