  • Captivating and compassionate

    The time and effort Steven and talented team puts into each of these cases make for incredibly compelling and exciting storytelling. I have listened to the whole catalog more than once. By far the best paranormal podcast out there.

  • Fantastic for haunted locations

    I’ve been listening since the start, and stayed with them through their Covid hiatus. First of all, there’s something so mellow and matter of fact about their approach. There’s no hype or effort to be clever or funny. Sometimes you want that when you’re listening in the dark. They’re based in Texas so there’s a lot of historical fact and lore that they’re covering. I love that they are on site just interviewing people, mostly and local businesses. Deep dives, huge undertaking. Well done!

  • Review Of “The Night Owl: True Ghost Stories”

    This podcast is truly the best podcast in existence. The stories are so intriguing and real! I love how much research and effort goes into each episode, like how the team actually goes to these places, does interviews with the people who have experienced things, and so much background research. Stephen Belyeu has a very good voice for these podcasts, very mellow and perfect for spooky tales. I love how these podcasts aren’t silly: they’re real, first hand accounts. I really recommend this podcas... more

  • Still A Go-To Show

    I’ve been an avid listener since day one, and I still look forward to each new investigation! I love when experiences can and can’t be debunked, and learning the history and hauntings of the locations.

    My main criticism is that some of the background audio effects are irritating and unnecessary, as well as drowning out the people speaking over recorded phone calls. Also, there are way too many ads!

    One of the best paranormal podcasts I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.

    I found this podcast months ago, and I have already listened to each episode at least a dozen times. No paranormal podcast has really scratched the itch like this one does! The host has such a soothing voice, and much thought and attention goes into each episode.

    Selfishly, I want the host to quit his day job and record a new episode each week lol. But until then, I’ll be here gnawing at the bars of my enclosure waiti... more
