The Night Owl: True Ghost Stories

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.
