Welcome to the Night Out podcast. I'm your host Stephen Ballou, and this is a place for all your rest of spirits out there to tune in and hear true tales of the paranormal.

I hunt these stories down, capture them from the mouths of those who've experienced them, and share them with you right here.

We're currently looking for more personal ghost stories or haunted locations, so if you or someone you know has one, please submit it to us for consideration.

Tonight, we're taking you back to the special night during the 2025 spirit social in Austin, Texas,

where members of the night owl community gathered to share something deeply personal,

their own encounters with the unexplained.

Three storytellers stepped onto the stage that evening,

each carrying an experience that has stayed with them

long after it happened. A paranormal investigation that may have brought something home from one of the

most infamous possession cases in American history. A late night drive through a storm on a remote

Texas highway where two women encounter something in the road that shouldn't be there, and later learn they weren't the only ones.

And finally, a police officer working the night shift in Austin discovers that some of the city's darkest history may not be finished with the living.

These are the campfire tales of the 2025 Spirit Social.

Stay tuned.
