Haunted House of Torment - Part I

Haunted House of Torment - Part I

Author: Night Owl Paranormal Research Society June 26, 2023 Duration: 1:14:27
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!

There’s a particular chill that comes not from the air, but from a story told in a quiet voice by someone who lived it. The Night Owl: True Ghost Stories, from the Night Owl Paranormal Research Society, is built on those voices. Host Stephen Belyeu doesn’t just recount spectral legends; he journeys to the very places where they persist, weaving together history, personal journals, and firsthand accounts to understand why a memory might refuse to fade. This monthly series lives in the intersection of society, culture, and the deeply personal, treating each location and narrative with a researcher’s curiosity rather than simple sensationalism. You’ll hear from people who have encountered something inexplicable in their homes, on their travels, or in the shadows of historic sites. The result is an intimate and grounded exploration of the paranormal that feels less like a campfire tale and more like a conversation with a friend who’s piecing together a fascinating, unsettling puzzle. New episodes arrive on the last Monday of each month, offering a regular dose of authentic atmosphere and human connection to the unseen. It’s for anyone who wonders about the stories etched into old walls and the quiet moments that defy easy explanation.
