For more than a century, this small limestone building in Oak Hill has quietly accumulated stories. From pioneer families and travelers to restaurants, coffee shops, and now SquareRut Kava Bar, generation after generation has left with one lingering question: Is this Old Rock Store haunted?
So far, we've traced the building's remarkable history, heard firsthand accounts from those who've experienced something they couldn't explain, and brought in my investigative team and two mediums to explore the property without any prior knowledge of its history or reported paranormal activity. After uncovering remarkable parallels between their impressions, eyewitness accounts, and the building's long history, it was time to stop simply observing... and start asking direct questions.
Tonight, our investigation of the Old Rock Store enters a new phase.
Now, we'll lead our mediums through a series of experiments designed to communicate more directly with whatever may still linger inside these stone walls. Along the way, a name will emerge with startling consistency, long-held theories gain unexpected support, and before the night is over, one final moment leaves everyone in the room questioning what they just witnessed.

For well over a century, stories have followed the Old Rock Store in Oak Hill, Texas. Employees, patrons, paranormal investigators, and locals have all described strange encounters inside the aging limestone building â shadow figures lurking near the stairwells, a woman in white seen watching from upstairs, unexplained voices, heavy oppressive energy, phantom footsteps, and even what some believe could be the spirit of a child still wandering its halls.
In Part One, we uncovered the history and heard firsthand accounts from those who claim something still remains inside this historic structure.
But tonight⊠we finally step inside ourselves.
As SquareRut Kava Bar closes for the evening and staff head home, owner Tracy gives us full access to explore the building after dark. Joining me are psychic medium Kate the Brave, along with a new student medium experiencing the location for the very first time.
Together, weâll walk the stairwells, hallways, kitchen, loft, and hidden rooms at the center of decades of rumors and paranormal claims⊠hoping to gather new clues and perhaps uncover pieces of the mystery surrounding this Texas landmark known as the Old Rock Store.

For decades, thereâs been a place in Austin that people quietly point to when the conversation turns to the most haunted locations in the city.
Not just a passing rumor⊠but something thatâs followed the building through generationsâthrough different owners, different businesses⊠and the many lives that have passed through its doors.
Most people people today remember it most as the Austin Pizza Gardenâwhere stories of unexplained voices, shadowy figures, and something lingering in the building became part of its identity. The kind of place spoken about in the same breath as Austinâs most infamous hauntings.
But today, that same building lives on in a new form.
A kava bar in Oak HillâSquareRut Kava Bar to be exact âoperating inside whatâs known historically as the Old Rock Store of Oak Hill⊠a structure thatâs stood here for well over a century.
And the stories⊠they never really died.
Now, for the first time, The Night Owl is stepping inside this historic landmark to investigate.
In this episode, weâll take you on a journey through timeâspeaking with the current staff working within these walls today⊠while also uncovering voices and experiences from those who came long before them.
Because whatever people were experiencing here decades agoâŠ
hasnât stopped.Photo by Meg Blohm

The investigation at Moonshine Bar & Grill continues as the team returns to one of Austinâs 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 âget out.â 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 elementâa 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 Austinâs 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.

In Part II of this Moonshine investigation, the activity escalates. More voices come forward â current staff, former employees, and even contractors â each describing new incidents inside one of Austinâs oldest and most famously haunted buildings.
Objects falling or flying without explanation⊠glass breaking where no oneâs 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 â 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 Austinâs most storied and allegedly haunted landmarks â 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 â sitting down with longtime staff and owners whoâve 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 Owlâs deep dive into Moonshineâs haunted legacy....and the living witnesses keeping its stories alive.

More than a century ago, in the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa⊠a horrifying crime shattered a sense of small-town innocence: two adults and six children were brutally murdered in their sleep with an axe. The case remains unsolved to this day.
Today, the home where it happened still stands â preserved not just as a historical site, but as one of the most chilling and active paranormal locations in the country.
Previously on this Campfire Series, listeners heard from the current tour guide of the Villisca Axe Murder House⊠a tourism rep who left the home feeling deeply unsettled⊠a seasoned paranormal investigator⊠and a researcher and author who has studied the house for years.
But at the center of this series is one family: the caretaker and his wife, who unknowingly moved into the house directly across the street from the Villisca Axe Murder House â and soon after, began experiencing something they couldnât explain.
In Part I, the caretaker shared his side of the story â but it became clear there was more he wasnât ready to say. Since then, others have echoed the idea that a dark presence lingers in Villisca. And now, in Part III, the story returns to its heart.
Listeners will hear what the caretaker held back during that first interview.
And for the first time⊠his wifeâs side of the story will finally be revealed.

In Part I of this Campfire Series, you heard from a range of voices connected to the site of one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in American history â the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders.
You heard from the current tour guide of the Villisca Axe Murder House, who walks its haunted halls regularly. You also heard from a representative with Iowaâs tourism office, who described the same strange unease that so many others have reported after visiting. And you were introduced to the gripping account of a man who unknowingly moved his family into the house directly across the street from the Villisca Axe Murder House â only to be hired as the property manager of the very home he once thought was just part of local legend.
Over the course of five months, his skepticism gave way to fear as a series of unsettling events unfolded â ultimately leading him and his family to flee Villisca entirely, relocating to Florida with no clear plans of returning.
Now, in Part II, weâre taking a short detour from that story to bring you two new voices whose experiences with the house span years and miles: a seasoned paranormal investigator with a personal history at Villisca, and an author who has spent years preserving the legacy of the case and the home in writing.
Together, their stories offer deeper context â and raise new questions â about what might truly linger inside the Villisca Axe Murder House.
And later, in Part III, weâll reconnect with the caretaker you met in Part I and hear from his wife for the very first time â bringing this Campfire series to its unforgettable conclusion.

Prepare yourself to venture into one of the most chilling true crime cases in American history â the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders.
This is part of our Campfire Series â a storytelling format where we gather firsthand accounts, interviews, and stories connected to a haunted location. Unlike our usual investigative episodes where my team and I conduct on-site investigations, these campfire installments bring together voices from afar to share their lived experiences.
In this special two-part series, weâll explore the tragic night when eight people, including six children, were brutally murdered in their sleep. The case remains unsolved to this day. And the house where it happened? It still stands â a modest white home in Villisca, Iowa, now known across the country for both its history and its hauntings. Itâs a place you can visit⊠though some who do report leaving with no intention of returning.
Over the decades, the Villisca Axe Murder House has drawn in investigators, authors, and television crews, all hoping to uncover the truth â or connect with something beyond it.
In Part I, youâll hear phone calls with individuals who have direct connections to the house: a current tour guide who walks visitors through the home regularly, a local Villisca resident rooted in the townâs legacy and history, and a man who unknowingly bought the house directly across the street â only to discover that Villisca may have called him there for reasons he couldnât yet understand. A few months later, he would find himself entangled in a series of events that nearly tore his life apart â beginning when he was hired to manage the murder house property itself.
And that is only the beginning. In Part II, weâll continue his story, hear from this manâs wife, and speak with both a longtime paranormal investigator as well as an an author who has written extensively on the homeâs haunted legacy.
So settle in, and listen closely. Because this campfire burns in the shadow of a home where something unthinkable happened over a century ago⊠and where some believe it never truly ended.

In tonightâs episode, the Night Owl team returns once more to Freddo ATX â the historic Victorian cafĂ© where unexplained activity continues to raise questions. In their last visit, three psychic mediums were brought in separately, blind to the location, and kept apart throughout the investigation. What they uncovered â childrenâs spirits, multiple women, and even the name Walter â pointed to a complex spiritual presence lingering in the home. But theyâre not done yet.
Now, they return for a final night inside Freddo ATX, this time with all three psychics together. And with new tools and experimental methods in hand, theyâre pushing deeper â to see if the spirits of this place are ready to reveal more.

In tonightâs episode, the Night Owl team returns to Freddo ATX â a cozy cafĂ© and bar tucked inside a stunning Victorian home at the corner of South Congress and Oltorf in Austin, Texas. In their previous visit, they gathered stories from the owners, staff, and a local ghost tour group that routinely stops at the property. The reports were unsettling: a heavy, foreboding presence on the first floor, strange thuds and disembodied voices, whispered names, phantom footsteps, and sightings of a woman â and even children â in the upstairs windows. The sightings were so frequent, someone once threatened to call CPS. Still, with Freddo only occupying the house since 2021, the staff arenât quite sure what â or who â might be haunting the place. Some point, half-jokingly, to the homeâs most famous former resident: Walter Tips â a rags-to-riches entrepreneur who rose to become one of Austinâs most successful merchants and eventually a Texas state senator. He lived â and died â in this home. But could he still be here? And if so, could there be others trying to make themselves known?
Tonight, the team returns to Freddo, joined by not one, not two, but three psychic mediums â all with no prior knowledge of this location and blind to the address until arrival. Their goal: to validate the claims shared in Part I, and perhaps, uncover something entirely new.

Tonight, the Night Owl is opening a new caseâone that takes us to Austin, Texas, where a striking Victorian home, built in 1876 and relocated to South Congress in the 1970s, has quietly stood with its secrets tucked beneath decades of history.
Originally built in 1876 for local businessman and senator, Walter Tips, the house is now home to Freddo ATX, a cozy café and cocktail bar with a growing reputation⊠not just for its drinks, but for its spirits.
Over the years, people have reported strange sensationsâfeeling watched when no oneâs around, hearing voices, whispers, loud thuds, and unexplained electrical issues. Doors rattle or swing open on their own. Some guests swear theyâve seen children staring down from the upstairs windows.
And when something unexplainable happens? The staff all say the same thing: âThatâs just Walter.â
In this episode, youâll hear directly from Freddoâs three owners, several staff members, and even two local ghost tour guidesâeach with their own story to tell.

Over the past four episodes in this series, the Night Owl team has been immersed in a chilling investigation of the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, located on Austin's legendary 6th Street. From eerie disembodied voices and shadow figures to a haunting presence in the back stairwell, the team has uncovered a disturbing pattern of paranormal activity tied to the building's long and mysterious past. Early on, they uncovered the tragic story of John Waller Stephens Jr., whose alleged suicide by self-administered Lysol ingestion was thought to haunt the club, but the investigation has since revealed far more than they could have expected.
In Parts 2 and 3, psychic mediums Jeffery and Kate the Brave helped validate staff experiences, while introducing new and unexpected spirits. Jeffery even identified a spirit named "Hank" who had no connection to the original story of Johnâs death. And Kate brought to light that the negative energy in the building might not be tied to John at allâbut to something darker lurking in the shadows. Then, in Part 4, a game-changing revelation completely shook their understanding of Johnâs death.
Nicole Riccardo, a trusted member of the paranormal community, revealed that she had investigated the speakeasy below the Sunset Strip, Eden, years earlier. Through extensive research, she uncovered startling contradictions in the narrative surrounding John Waller Stephens Jr.âs death. Newspaper articles described his death as the result of a car accidentâno mention of Lysol or suicide. Even more puzzling was the strange police report showing that, after the accident, John was driven across town, past his house and two hospitals, directly to his workplace at Wilson Furniture Companyânow the very building they had been investigating. This discovery raised more questions than ever about the true circumstances of his death.
Now, armed with new evidence and insights, including the help of Nicole and the team of psychics, the Night Owl team returns to the Sunset Strip Comedy Club determined to uncover the truth. Will the investigation reveal what truly happened to John Waller Stephens Jr., and what dark forces are still at play in this historic building? Join them as they continue their journey to solve this mystery and confront whatever spirits may be haunting the Sunset Strip Comedy Club in Austin, Texas.

In the first three parts of this investigation, the Night Owl team uncovered unsettling paranormal activity at the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, particularly around the back stairwell of the building. Staff have long attributed the ominous energy in this area to the mysterious suicide of John Waller Stephens Jr. Reports of shadowy figures and an overwhelming sense of dread have made this spot a hotspot for eerie encounters. But during their last investigation, working with psychic mediums Jeffery and Kate the Brave, they made an intriguing discovery: the shadowy presence both mediums saw appeared to be a completely separate energy from Johnâs spirit, and it was likely the source of the darker activity reported. In this episode, the investigation will continue with Jeffery and Kate, reflecting on what has been uncovered so far, and Stephen will reveal a fascinating new breakthrough that sheds more light on the mystery of John Waller Stephens Jr. and his tragic death.

In this episode, the team returns to the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, located in the heart of Austinâs vibrant 6th Street, to continue their investigation into the strange and unsettling occurrences plaguing this historic building. After hearing chilling stories from both staff and patrons, and diving into the investigation back in September, theyâre back now to uncover what might be haunting this spaceâand what truths are still lurking in the shadows.
In Part I, staff and patrons shared eerie experiences â voices calling their names, dimmer switches flickering on their own, and strange energy around the back office and stairwell. One employee even described shadowy figures rushing at him when he opened the cafĂ© alone one morning. These unsettling accounts left the team with more questions than answers.
In Part II, the team, including psychic medium Jeffery, investigated the building. He validated some of the staffâs experiences, like the disembodied voices and names being called. But he also introduced a new spirit named "Hank," even though no one had reported this energy before. To their surprise, Jeffery didnât pick up on the heavy, oppressive energy around the back stairwell, nor did any of the mystery of J. Waller Stephens Jr.âs rumored suicide by Lysol ingestion come to light.
With these lingering questions still haunting them, the team is diving back in, determined to get to the bottom of whatâs truly hiding within the walls of Sunset Strip Comedy Club. But this time, theyâre bringing an additional psychic medium â Kate the Brave.

In this episode, the Night Owl team returns to the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, nestled in the heart of Austin's iconic 6th Street, to continue their investigation into the unsettling paranormal activity at this historic building. Last time, the team uncovered chilling reports from staff and localsâdisembodied voices calling their names, shadowy figures rushing them, mysterious foul odors that appear and disappear for no reason throughout the back of the building, and most commonly reported, an ominous presence felt in the back stairwell that may be tied to a mysterious death in the buildings past. But the mystery deepens today, as Stephen is joined by team members Alexis, Franklyn, and psychic medium Jeffery, who will dive in and explore the dark corners of this club with him.
Theyâll attempt to find rational explanations for some of the strange reports, but as they dig in, Jeffery begins to make eerie connections to the reports and uncover new possible spirits lurking in the venueâs shadows. Utilizing cutting-edge techniques like the Estes Method and Ganzfeld Experiments, the team will venture into uncharted territory. And just when they think theyâve hit a dead end, a surprising witness from Missouri steps forward with a shocking validation that could change everything.
Is the Sunset Strip Comedy Club truly haunted? Join the team as they dive deeper into the mystery, unraveling the past and confronting whatever spirits might still haunt this historic building.

In this episode, The Night Owl team heads to the heart of Austinâs legendary Dirty 6th Street, where they have been contacted by the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, a place with a haunting past thatâs been creeping its way into the present. Nestled in one of the cityâs oldest buildings, dating all the way back to 1873, this space has witnessed more than its fair share of history. It was once home to The Parish, an iconic live music venue that drew crowds from all over, but now the buildingâs supposed dark past seems to have a different kind of audience.
The team gathered firsthand accounts from both staff and locals, and what they uncovered is truly chilling. Employees have reported hearing disembodied voices calling their names, while others speak of an overwhelming dark presence lurking in the back officeâpossibly even demonic. There have been sightings of full-bodied apparitions and shadowy figures moving through the halls. But perhaps the most unsettling reports come from the back stairwellâa narrow, dimly lit space that leads to a speakeasy. Itâs here where a sense of dread and unease fills the air, and it seems there may be a connection to a series of tragic deaths tied to the building's past. Could the spirits of those who died here still be lingering?
While Sunset Strip may be known for laughs and comedy, thereâs nothing funny about whatâs happening inside these walls. Join The Night Owl team as they dig deeper into the strange happenings at the Sunset Strip Comedy Club and uncover what might be haunting its historic walls.
