FREE EVENT! LINK IN BIO

Join author, historian, collector David Brandon Hodge at the official release party for his new book, Supernatural Machines: The History of Spirit Communication Devices!

Nearly 30 years in the making, the unprecedented work presents a comprehensive history of séance apparatus and the tools Victorian Spiritualists used to talk to the dead, including spirit-writing planchettes and the enigmatic Ouija, from their prehistory right up to the modern era!

SPECIAL PRESENTATION BY THE AUTHOR
The evening will begin with a richly-illustrated stage presentation on the history of séances and the evolution of spirit communication devices, providing a sneak peek into Supernatural Machines and some of the incredible, never-before-seen objects readers will find within its pages.

POP-UP OUIJA MUSEUM
Participants can also explore the event’s pop-up Ouija museum, filled with dozens of rare spirit artifacts from Brandon’s massive personal collection, including some of the rarest talking boards to have survived to the modern day. Brandon will host a museum Q&A and be available to sign copies of Supernatural Machines.

WORKSHOP & SEANCE
The evening will close with a free Ouija workshop and group séance, where participants will be invited to try their hands at receiving spirit communications from these historical artifacts firsthand, guided by the expertise of City Alchemist shop owner and Night Owl team member Alexis Arredondo, a spirit medium from the First Spiritualist Church of Austin.

Food and beverages will be available from our host, Squarerut Kava Bar, and Supernatural Machines will be offered for sale on premises, along with limited-edition shirts and even a custom-made promotional talking board designed by Brandon himself!

OLD ROCK STORE LISTENING PARTY!

For the first time ever, I’m inviting a small group of Night Owl listeners inside the historic Old Rock Store for a special evening together.

Join us on Saturday, August 29 as we gather to hear the thrilling conclusion to our Old Rock Store series one full day before it’s released to the public. This is something we’ve never done before, and I can’t think of a better place to experience this finale than inside the very building where it all happened.

We’ll open the doors at 9:00 PM, giving everyone time to settle in, explore much of the building, and grab dinner or a drink before we begin. SquareRut Kava Bar will have coffee, kava, mocktails, and other non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase, along with an optional pizza buffet—a fun nod to the building’s beloved Austin Pizza Garden days.

Once the café closes and the building quiets down (approximately 10:00 PM), we’ll dim the lights and listen to the finale together through the Old Rock Store itself.

After the episode, stick around for a casual Q&A with me and, if schedules allow, a few members of the Night Owl team as we answer your questions about the investigation, the series, and this incredible historic location.

Because this is such an intimate experience, attendance is limited to just 40 guests. We want to fill the house with listeners who are excited to be part of this special night, so tickets will be just $5 to reserve your seat.

A few notes:

Saturday, August 29
Doors open at 9:00 PM
Listening begins around 10:00 PM
Limited to 40 guests
Ages 18+ only
Food and beverages available for purchase
$5 admission
Tickets go on sale this weekend. As always, Patreon members will receive 24-hour early access, with tickets becoming available Saturday, August 8 at 12:00 AM (CDT). Any remaining tickets will be released to the public Sunday, August 9 at 12:00 AM (CDT).

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those nights we’ll all remember. I can’t wait to experience the finale with you inside the Old Rock Store.

Spirit Social isn’t just another paranormal event—it’s an entire day (and night!) of ghost stories, investigations, live discussions, experiments, shopping, great food, and an incredible community, all taking place inside the historic Old Rock Store, one of the most memorable locations we’ve ever featured on The Night Owl.

From walking the same halls where Rosa welcomed us back... to gathering together in a building filled with over a century of history...this is going to be one of the most special events we’ve ever created.

If you’ve been on the fence, don’t wait much longer. I’d love to see you there.

Night Owl Ghost Tours Presents: Haunted Evenings at Walter’s Tavern (formerly Freddo ATX)

We’re excited to officially announce the next Night Owl Ghost Tour—and one we’ve wanted to bring to life for some time now.

Join us for Haunted Evenings at Walter’s Tavern, an intimate three-hour paranormal experience inside one of Austin’s most fascinating historic buildings.

Unlike a traditional ghost tour, we won’t be bouncing from one location to the next or standing on sidewalks while listening to stories from the outside. We’ll spend the entire evening inside Walter’s Tavern, taking our time to explore its history, reported paranormal activity, and the stories that continue to surround the building today.

The evening begins with time to enjoy dinner and drinks while getting to know the group. From there, we’ll dive into the history of the location, eyewitness accounts, historical research, and photographs before exploring the spaces where experiences have been reported. We’ll discuss investigation techniques, conduct a few experiments together, and end the night with an open discussion and Q&A.

Many Haunted Evenings will also feature special Night Owl guests, including members of our investigative team, researchers, or one of our trusted mediums, making every experience a little different.

These aren’t just ghost tours—they’re immersive evenings designed for people who want to spend time inside the haunted places where these experiences actually happened.

Whether you’re a longtime Night Owl listener or simply looking for a unique paranormal experience in Austin, we’d love to have you join us for an unforgettable evening at Walter’s Tavern.

Tickets and event details coming soon.

THE HAUNTED OLD ROCK STORE - PART IV

New episode drops tonight at midnight (12:00 AM CDT), July 27

Every investigation reaches a moment when the story begins taking you somewhere you never expected. That’s exactly what happened as we continued exploring the mysteries of the historic—and infamously haunted—Old Rock Store in Oak Hill, Texas.

So far, we’ve uncovered remarkable parallels between eyewitness accounts, the independent impressions of two mediums, and the history of the families who once called this place home. As our investigation began pointing toward possible answers, we expected our next step would be returning to the Old Rock Store for a second investigation.

But something unexpected happened.

New witnesses came forward. Former patrons, longtime locals, and people with ties to the building’s past began reaching out with stories of their own. As I continued digging through the history, I also uncovered people connected to the Old Rock Store whose memories would add entirely new pieces to the puzzle.

Tonight, before we return to the historical limestone landmark, we’re following these new leads—stories that deepen our understanding of the building, expand the haunted lore surrounding it, and ultimately set the stage for discoveries none of us saw coming.

Tune in tonight and stay restless out there.

Editing Part IV of The Old Rock Store series sitting in the Old Rock Store itself is quite the experience. This adventure is taking some very interesting turns. Lots more to come.
