The Night Owl: True Ghost Stories

Returning for one final overnight inside one of Austin’s oldest and most haunted locations, the Night Owl team pushes deeper into Moonshine Bar & Grill — testing what’s emerged so far and introducing new experiments designed to further interaction.
For the first time, a custom-built spirit communication device is brought into the investigation. Strange conversations unfold. A phantom smell suddenly begins to follow the team with no physical source. And multiple team members witness unexplained activity in real time.
As long-standing theories are challenged and new pieces surface, the mystery of Moonshine grows more complex than ever.
Some answers begin to take shape.
Others raise even bigger questions.
This is the final chapter of the Moonshine case — and nothing is what it first seemed.

The investigation at Moonshine Bar & Grill continues as the team returns to one of Austin’s most storied locations. What began as fragments and impressions now deepens, as previous findings are tested, challenged, and expanded.
After documenting Moonshine through extensive interviews with owners, long-time staff, former employees, and contractors, clear patterns had emerged: unexplained footsteps near the upstairs offices, objects moving or breaking, sudden injuries, and presences tied to the patio, upstairs office, Kinfolk, and the Sunday House.
When the psychic investigation began, each medium was kept blind and separate. Despite that, overlapping impressions surfaced. An aggressive male presence yelling “get out.” A darker energy moving between the patio and the Sunday House loft. An intelligent, non-threatening man with glasses connected to Kinfolk. And a new, unexpected element—a chaotic teenage boy believed to be responsible for many of the accidents reported in recent years.
As the night unfolded, even more layers revealed themselves: a protective female presence near the office stairs, a shadowy figure watching from the Sunday House loft, and an Indigenous woman who appeared during a later session with imagery tied to protest, the Capitol, and a much more modern chapter of Austin’s history.
By the time the first night came to a close, the building was empty, the energy had shifted, and the most pressing questions remained unanswered. Were the psychics accurately tapping into the same experiences staff had described? Were they independently sensing the same presences? And was something still hiding, waiting to be understood?
This episode picks up exactly where the investigation left off.

Tonight, the team returns to one of Austin’s oldest and most notoriously haunted locations, Moonshine Bar & Grill.
After months of interviews, they’re finally handed the key and granted full access to the property.
For the first time, the full Night Owl team, including psychic mediums Jeffery, Kate, and the long-awaited return of Sara, arrive blind to the location to investigate Moonshine firsthand and search for what has unsettled staff and guests for decades.
Will this be the night that separates fact from folklore…or blurs the line even further?

In Part II of this Moonshine investigation, the activity escalates. More voices come forward — current staff, former employees, and even contractors — each describing new incidents inside one of Austin’s oldest and most famously haunted buildings.
Objects falling or flying without explanation… glass breaking where no one’s standing… a mysterious item believed to be haunted… and even the discovery of barefoot child footprints on the wooden floors after closing.
Tonight, the story of Moonshine Bar & Grill grows stranger, sharper, and harder to dismiss — as more witnesses step forward with experiences that defy easy explanation.
The deeper the Night Owl goes… the more this place seems to reveal.

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.
