Author: Night Owl Paranormal Research Society October 27, 2025 Duration: 1:34:39
Tonight, The Night Owl Podcast takes listeners inside one of Austin’s most storied and allegedly haunted landmarks — Moonshine Bar & Grill. Built on the foundations of the old Waterloo Compound and layered with nearly two centuries of history, this beloved downtown spot is known for more than its comfort food and cocktails.In this episode, the team begins unraveling the myths surrounding Moonshine — sitting down with longtime staff and owners who’ve spent years inside its limestone walls, to explore where folklore ends and firsthand experience begins.What emerges are patterns of strange happenings, lingering energies, and one presence in particular that many believe still keeps watch over the building.This is just the beginning of The Night Owl’s deep dive into Moonshine’s haunted legacy....and the living witnesses keeping its stories alive.Photo by Adam Lynch

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.
