The Haunted Confederate Woman's Home - Part I

The Haunted Confederate Woman's Home - Part I

Author: Night Owl Paranormal Research Society September 28, 2026 Duration: 1:13:37
More than a century ago, an imposing two-story building opened here in Austin, Texas, as the Confederate Woman's Home, a place that would continue serving and caring for generations of people for more than a century. And for years, stories of unexplained activity have surrounded it. In 2019, The Night Owl was invited inside to hear firsthand accounts from the people who worked there....and potentially investigate. But before that investigation could ever begin, the opportunity disappeared, and the case was shelved. They thought that was the end of it. Until seven years later, when a strange message left for the team unexpectedly brought this building back into their lives. Now, with the property vacant and renovations quickly approaching, the Night Owl was given another chance to uncover the stories they never got to hear.

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.
