Staff and patrons have reported strange happenings including objects relocating or being thrown, phantom smells throughout the building, an uneasy feeling commonly felt on the 2nd floor, and even sightings of figures on surveillance cameras and in the windows at night. Stephen and his team now return and have some of their very own experiences while Sara puts her ability to the test in a building full of objects with unique histories. Stephen continues to do a deep dive into this case and tracks down two of the paranormal investigators that investigated this shop in the past. They recount their experiences and even share some of their findings, including voices captured on their recording devices. So join Stephen and the team again as they navigate the many reports and findings to make some very interesting connections that might just validate some of the activity experienced at this antique shop in Buda, Texas.

Let's take a small road trip, just 20 miles south of Austin, to the town of Buda - where an antique shop occupying a historic three-story building on Main St. is reporting countless experiences they can’t explain. Join Stephen and the team as they dive deep into another fascinating case where countless eyewitnesses are recounting strange happenings in this unassuming small-town shop in downtown Buda. Reports include voices coming from a downstairs booth that was once an apartment, an uneasy feeling commonly reported by patrons on the 2nd floor, smells appearing and disappearing throughout the building, objects relocating and in some cases being thrown, and even sightings of full bodied apparitions on surveillance cameras and in the windows at night. Old Town Buda Antique Mall is a place full of history and it’s very own haunts.

In the final episode of season one, we travel back to where this incredible journey all began – at an unassuming tattoo shop on the Spider House grounds in Austin, Texas. In Episode 1, “ Ink, Coffee & Spirits”, Stephen and Sara investigated the story of Ray and the many unexplained experiences surrounding the Royal Legion Tattoo Shop. Sara shed some light on the spirit who haunted their shop, but what was not revealed was that Sara encountered several other Spirits that very same night on the grounds of the Spider House Café. These Spirits wanted to be seen but their stories were hazy and unclear at the time. Now, we are thrilled to guide you through one of the most interesting stories that has developed over the course of this past year. It centers around the many Spirits haunting the Spider House grounds, one of whom we call “The Man With A Box”. Throughout this year long journey, Stephen uncovers new fascinating stories, meets with past and present employees who share their personal experiences, and discovers new evidence that leads him and his team to believe that someone other than Christine may have been responsible for some of the unexplained happenings at Royal Legion Tattoo.

In the final chapter of “The Restless” series, Stephen, Sara, Alexis and Franklyn must put their heads together to figure out what’s really happening to this young couple in New Braunfels, Texas. With activity heightening, rather than subsiding after a small cleansing ritual, Stephen and the team fear they might have angered the spirit and put Amanda and Paul in danger. Join Stephen and the team as they gear up and travel back to confront this darker presence oppressing Amanda and Paul, discover new physical evidence that Franklyn has captured on video, and finally do what they can to enlist the help of a local Native American Medicine Man. This case takes the team back to New Braunfels two more times with the hope that they might provide peace for this family, help them regain control of their new home, and for once in their time here, get some rest.

In this episode, Stephen returns to Amanda and Paul's New Braunfels home, this time joined by clairvoyant friend Sara to further investigate their claims. Stephen and his team work to determine whether the activity Amanda and Paul are experiencing is supernatural or if it all has a scientific explanation. Sara once again makes interesting discoveries and connections, brings new things into light, and Stephen and the team are left with some troubling realizations by the end of it all.

It’s the home of a husband and wife who have reached the end of their rope. Recently having purchased the home, within weeks, the couple began hearing and seeing things they could not explain. Loud noises coming from their living room at night, full-bodied apparitions appearing in front of them, and even object levitation. The activity has continued to progress throughout their first year there, so much so that they are unable to sleep or feel comfortable in their very own home.
