The Night Owl Podcast, Episode 58, The Spirits at Sunset Strip, Part 5.

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.

6th Street. From eerie, disembodied voices and shadow figures to a haunting presence in the back stairwell,

our team has uncovered a disturbing pattern of paranormal activity tied to the building's long and mysterious past.

Early on we uncovered the tragic story of John Waller Stevens Jr., whose alleged suicide by self-administered Lysaw ingestion was thought to haunt the club.

But the investigation has since revealed far more than we ever expected.

In Parts 2 and 3, Psychic Mediums Jeffrey and Kate the Brave helped validate staff experiences

while introducing new and unexpected spirits.

Jeffrey even identified a spirit named Hank, who had no connection to the original story of John's death,

and Kate brought to light that the negative energy in the building might not be tied to John at all,

but to something darker lurking in the shadows.

Then, in part four, we discovered a game-changing revelation that completely shook our understanding of John's death.

Nicole Ricardo, a trusted member of the paranormal community,

revealed in a phone call with me that she had investigated the speakeasy below the sunset

strip, Eden, years earlier.
