I generally like to alternate between stories people have asked me to cover and ones I just want to do myself. So, since it's been a while - What cases would you like to see me cover in the coming months? Throw me suggestions and like other peoples suggestions if you want to increase the chance of me picking that one. Thank you all for watching! Hope you enjoy this one.
I have started to get annoyed with a lot of channels that speak about the paranormal. They exclude or fake information all together and while I'm a skeptical believer, it always makes me hate the story and I can't even pretend to think it's real or scary. But the way you speak on things, actually doing research and digging out facts that are so interesting, then presenting it as is for us to think on is chef's kiss, my man. Ty!
Agreed. Thanks to stupid Aliens did it guy, I 100% don't believe in green men now Ghosts I did experience it completely clear so I prefer these stories and this sude does a good jerb
@@CanvaMira i don't even watch Nuke's because it's all so very faked. At least with @TheTapeLibrary, I don't even mind if it's just a scary story. He tells it so well that I forget it might not be entirely true. I'm able to enjoy the story for the sake of the story without being forced to endure hype bros. He gives off a genuine vibe, that he isn't over selling something for the sake of clicks and it's lovely and refreshing. He could honestly read out the phone book and I'd listen.
Unexplained sounds, frightening apparitions & chilling, uncanny sensations are nothing compared to the horror of unusually high utility bills. That's when you definitely have to move out.
Omg thank for reminding me they are shutting my lights off tomorrow i better pay them no joke😅 perfect timing thanx and yes poverty is.far more frightening than demons i have seen demons perhaps even the devil himself and battled and won in the name of Christ it amazing how terrified they become from that name
I've been subscribing to all these spooky channels hoping one of them would cover this case. Even if it's fake, whatever they did to achieve the effect on that lady's face is impressively unnerving
Yeah it's one of those things that just feels TOO GOOD to be real, if that makes sense? I love how unsettling it is though and so grateful that it introduced me to this story.
@@TheTapeLibraryif you noticed, the other ppl around her also had their eyes and portions of their face darkened. When she smiled, her lips also darkened, which just makes it look creepy.
I don't see any effect. It's a very low light, grainy, blurry, low quality video where a lady smiles or chuckles a bit and the poor quality of the video distorts slightly. That's to be expected with this low quality. The suggestive nature causes a bit of mass delusion with things like this.
…And look upon this moment. Savor it! Rejoice with great gladness! Great gladness! Remember it always, for you are joined by it. You are One, under the stars. Remember it well, then... this night, this great victory. So that in the years ahead, you can say, 'I was there that night, with The Tape Library!' For it is the doom of men that they forget.
You often say, "If you stuck with me through another long story." I'm always struck by your comment. I'm sure that I am not the only one that would say, how could I not stick with you through the entirety? These are fantastic stories! Also, it's the way that you tell the story. This is your talent. The longer the story is, the more excited I am to listen. Thank you for your riveting videos. I don't know how anyone could leave a negative comment. It's better than any movie!
@@TheTapeLibraryagreed, the longer videos are what I specifically look for, and here’s why- with stories/ cases, this being a perfect example, while there’s always going to be obvious questions, a 10, 15, or even 20 minute video really can’t do it justice (*unless* it’s something that has so little information, so little known about it, that there’s not much to go into any depth or real detail about). At the end of the day, the long ones really draw me in, personally 🤷♂️ great video

I live in the same county as the cage (Essex) and I've walked/driven past this place, even when walking by I have felt a sense of unease. Borely Rectory is another place that's just....tragic but fascinating the stories coming out of there.
I too have lived a great deal of time on the Suffolk/Essex border and can testify with many a paranormal experience. You mentioned Borley but close by do you know of Kentwell Hall?
@@vehementi8497 I used to do re-enactment of the Tudor period there and have seen 2 ghost's of that house with countless others people saying that they had paranormal experiences there. The moat house which is highly active had a loom inside and made of solid oak , very heavy. Friends of my mother slept in there one night and saw the freaking loom lift up from the floor. I think kentwell is more Haunted than Borley but is lesser known about or documented. Be well, be kind and be happy 👍
The Paranormal Files did a great interview with the woman that owns the house too. I didn't even realize that viral video was for that location! Thank you for also doing a video on it!

Brand new fan, LOVE the cadence of your voice and was captivated by the Sudbrink story.. You slayed me with the 'please don't do that comment' on the cage episode. 👍
Sophie in NZ ~ The house I lived in was next to "The Lock Up", a tiny brick building with a barred window in the door. It was for drunks, thieves and yes.. those "witches". There was a ducking stool not far away in another village. So many women were accused, some murdered. Thank you for covering this.
@@TheTapeLibrarythis video is so good that I cast it to my TV to watch and relax after work. Well the sudden visual of that creepy man creature behind the woman made me literally jump out of my relaxed position! Your work is evolving and impressive. This one totally engrossed me.
Oh man, the official office of The Tape Library is a fantastic idea. This really does sound like one of the most haunted places discussed here. I don't think I'd brave one night, definitely not alone. You tell one hell of a horror story, phenomenal video.
Your stories always include the nuance I am missing from most ghost stories, and I very much appreciate the victims of the witch trials not being demonized.
@@TheTapeLibrary a lot of media dealing with "witch trials" stuff, they often treat the mostly women victims as if they were all actually witches. I don't know if that's what the original commenter meant, but I personally have always found that frustrating and disrespectful, because the entire point was that there weren't actually witches, it was religious hysteria and an excuse to kill poor people.
New listener here. I Love the stories and your research! Almost through the other vids. Your voice, is like butter - soothes me every time. Can't wait for the next episode of Tape Library and Night Drive ❤
I’ve been binge-watching your videos, and this one is great! I’ve always wanted to visit The Cage since I saw the video with Debbie’s face changing. You're so lucky-I’m a bit jealous!😁 Tyfs❤
Your videos are my nightly go-to for relaxing before bed. “Get yourself a warm drink and dim the light” has become the phrase that signals my brain to set aside the days worries. I very much appreciate your work. You’re top-notch!
Occasionally when I listen to the TL, I will wait until dark, turn the air conditioner to a cold setting, put on my flannel pjs, grab a hot cocoa and pretend that it is a chilly, rainy October night 😅
@@TheTapeLibrary No problem. Just let me know what Brand and flavor? And loose leaf or bags? I’ll even make lil crust less sandwiches and little glazed cakes!
Wow! This was a good one! So many different events and Like you said it's like the haunting was feeding off different people's back grounds and personal beliefs and fears. Keep the Tapes Rollin my friend!! You've come such a long way and it's been really cool watching this channel become the community it is!! Long live THE TAPE LIBRARY! I'LL be waiting and watching for your next one! Take Care!!
Watched it three times in a row. I loved every second of it . The longer format is my favourite. You have such talent for narrating creepy tales. Thank you!!
New sub! Just when I thought I ran out of content, I stumble into this gem of a channel, and I'm not even that big into the paranormal anymore, but your storytelling is impeccable! Can't wait to see this channel growing even more
11:42 So.. she knew her friend was ill, and due for surgery soon, and wanted a place for her to be able to relax and rest.. And she fully knowingly and consciously as a believer of the paranormal chose the ONE house that was consistently called the most terrifying, evil haunted place with the darkest most gritty history and sightings for her to stay in????
I mean, her friend also knew the history of it. While she believed and claimed to have seen things earlier in her life, I don't think she really expected what they went on to experience in the cage. Although...the suicide would 100% make me think twice
It could be a very clever try at an earn at the front end, but several times she ended up traumatised, maybe making something out of little or nothing, but being lumbered with your mortgage, a new born and leaving your home to move I with a friend, then go on to pay rent. Hard one to call, maybe her willingness to believe and the buildings own, energy, combined to thin the veil. Who knows, gave me heebie jeebies watching it....
I've never heard of this case before, and so thank you for your detailed description of the activity there. This really is the best channel within the genre in my opinion and I look forward to every upload.
Great video- as always ;) I watched a video of this story somewhere else a while back (can't recall just where) but I definitely like your telling of it better.
I stumbled across your channel and I'm so glad I did. I actually saw the ad for this place years ago when it was for sale, so great to get more background.
Finally!!!! I wait for these. I watch your videos over and over again, even though I know most of them by heart!! I also love your new page by the way. Having two pages of content from you, is like doublemint gum.... double the pleasure, double the fun!😂
Hi TH-cam recommended me to you. I love the this and the two other stories that I’ve heard so far… the link… i listen while I’m cleaning or gardening or driving.al and while studying. Your voice is relaxing lol. I end up listening to the stories twice if it’s during my studies. Have a good one!!!! Keep up the great work!
This was the best one you've ever produced. I am going to email you, but, darn it, why? Why must I wait so long, for more more more?! You are killing me! I want another new episode! Lol
Amazing that you covered this, it's where I live and used to drive past it every day. I wish I would have gone on a ghost tour back when they was doing them here.
Kia ora from NZ, 10pm here! I've only just "found" your channel and really enjoyed this report on The Cage! Thanks so much, it must take a lot of time to research and then create these tapes. I'm British and owned a 1600's house in Hertfordshire until I emmigrated. It was most definitely occupied by someone/thing else as were many other houses in our town and the many tiny villages nearby. It was just accepted, never investigated or spoken much about. I experienced some pretty scary things at times, and can recall them some 30 years later as if it was yesterday. Please keep up your great work, I really like your relaxed and unbiased style - you definitely have a new fan from Hira near Nelson, NZ
First time discovering your channel. I know of this cottage and remember it being for sale a few years back. I remember it took a long time to sell. Great video, very scary.
Thank you so much for all the time you take making these videos and doing lots of research. I love the quality ! And also listening to your accent , it helps when I'm feeling homesick ( I've been living in France for 4 years now .) Looking forward to more amazing vidéos by you !
@@TheTapeLibrary I have had one odd experience whilst living in Rue du Hameau which is in the 15th district of Paris. It was around 2 / 3 ish Am and my partner and I were in bed . He was sleeping and I was struggling to get to sleep because of the heat and pollution. I started to hear the sound of a horse trotting down our road and neighing . Well I jumped out of bed to quickly have a look from our balocony because in that area you don't have horses let alone people riding horses at that time in the morning. Stood there watching and listening and I could still hear the sound of a horse trotting. I ended up feeling uncomfortable with the whole thing and went back to the bed. I did ask my partner if he heard anything but he said no ( he was sleeping like a log.) I would say from my experiences is that Pembrokeshire is by far the most haunted place I have lived ( especially the 500 year old house in Prendergast which is in Haverfordwest.) Lots of things happened there in which the whole of my family including our dog at the time experienced as well as myself , it was very disturbing.

I would say from my experiences is that Pembrokeshire is by far the most haunted place I have lived ( especially the 500 year old house in Prendergast in a town named Haverfordwest) all of my family and our dog at the time expérienced things there such as sightings of adults and children dressed in Edwardian style clothing that were just disapear, my rocking horse being pushed, mine and my siblings names being called in our mums voice , we would run downstairs all together to her and ask what was the matter and she would tell us she had never called us and the same happend to her . She also had a hooded figure stand over her whilst she was in bed. We also had sightings of UFOs in Haverfordwest . First time was when we lived in Tudor Gardens and it looked like metal spheres gliding over the feild that our house overlooked . And the other was in a Village called Wolfscastle where my mum called me to come and have a look at these massive lights that looked like that which are in football stadiums one night that Were not far from our house , I remember freaking out and I'll admit I started to cry . My mum just told me to calm down as she was more comfortable with the whole thing . All I remember after that is I started to say I don't want to see it anymore repeatedly and she told me it was fine and to go to bed . We both spoke about it the next day and looked around . There was no explaination for it . Sorry for the long message but I was thinking of sharing some of my experiences with you before so here you go haha . This is all true and I have nothing to gain from telling you this .
I've just discovered your podcast. Thanks for a fascinating episode. Being American, there are very few buildings in my country that are as old as The Cage. I think there's bound to be entities attached to such places just by virtue of them being so old. That being said, if you want to guarantee a place to be haunted, a prison is a sure fire way to make that happen. Prisons are places of trauma, suffering, death, and malice. That kind of environment absolutely imprints on the structure, even after the prison ceases to house inmates.
Such an interesting setting. The house seems to form a triangle on both sides that include the haunted alley. Maybe this triggers paranormal energy. I definitely plan to purchase Vanessa's book. Also thank you for acknowledging the diverse individuals in this community you have created on your channel and encouraging positivity. I hope you can raise the money for The Tape Library to move into this very interesting location. Although having watched that part again I know you didn't mean it. I love the yellow shaded exterior of this Tudor looking coach house type building which may even have been a church.
I’m so excited for this one! Your videos scare me like no one else’s do. They scare my husband just as much but I’m making him watch it anyway so I’m not alone 😂❤ Edit: ok last edit I swear lol but this is by far the most terrifying video you’ve posted yet!! God this one was so scary and one I had never heard about before. I thought the one of Hael Fanog (not sure if that’s how it’s spelled) was the scariest one but this one blew it out of the water
I believe she did experience these encounters. As someone who has had unexplained experiences in a home I rented for a year in Killeen, Tx I too, sought help from a local paranormal investigator to help understand what was happening in this home. To this day I am actively researching the property and reached out to those who have lived in the home after me to see if they have experienced anything similar. Not everyone is after fame perhaps some were just so traumatized by their experiences they simply need some form of closure. It’s been 10 years since I lived in that home and the thought of my experiences still instill me with fear to this day.
Trying to alternate, so one week TL, the next week NDP. That's the rough plan anyway. If I keep writing 45 min+ scripts I'm not sure how long I can keep that up haha.
@@TheTapeLibrary Tis a beastly operation for a solo production. For what it's worth, your narration has continued to get better (it was never bad), and the topics continue to be interesting and well researched and told. Keep fighting the good fight!
This was a very interesting and thorough investigation. This was an unbiased investigation which lends credibility to what you have made. I will definitely recommend it to my friends.
I have often thought about that too. Even here in the USA we have homes in the New England states with homes or parts of their homes from back in the 1700s or earlier, which for us is really old. But the farther west we go the younger the houses get. The house I'm currently renting and living in was made in 1843 and everyone is amazed at how old that is. LOL.
I haven't ever been to Essex but the few times I've visited the UK I've heard of quite a few haunted spots for each area I was in. Your country is LOADED with haunted locations. I remember going to see Finding Dory with some friends at the Reel Cinema in Plymouth, Devon and my buddy asked if we could leave the building right after the movie was over. Said he felt a presence there that made him feel sick. Now he's visually impaired so its possible that he was probably a lot more sensitive to that kind of thing, but I do remember feeling very funny walking down the hall to the restroom of that building. Definitely strange. There's a distillery in the same area that is apparently haunted by the spirit of the former owner's young daughter. Do you think you might ever do a special long video in the future covering smaller various UK hauntings?
This is my first comment on youtube ever and you have fully earned it. Thank you so much for your talents and energy. I hope to one day have you read my own paranormal experiences out loud but that is for another time. I work at a theatre house in Bergen, Norway and I have experienced things there that would be hard to fall asleep to, which I realize is the opposite of what you try to do but might still be very exciting. Love and deep respect from Norway
Never expected to break through, just did this because I was spending far too much of my time reading about this stuff and wanted a creative outlet for it. So pleased that so many people have jumped on board in the last few months though and really grateful.
As a new listner, i am glad i found it. I remember a story of a guy that i dont remember why but for some reason it began to rain in the house. It rained sideways and even from the floor up. Police were called and they carried him to jail and it started up there too. If you havent done it already. Very interesting and creepy story.
@@agent3557Same - easily one of my favorite channels already, and the quality of the content just keeps on rising. I just finished this - another heck of a ride, and definitely one of the creepiest ones so far. Enjoy! 🙌
The fact that no one can live in the property for longer than a few months says something. Sounds like it's a portal that attracts negative energy. Some definitive video/film evidence of phenomena would be revealing. Thanks for the video
I was going to wait and watch this after dark, but I am too excited to wait that long! Lol! (I'm such an overgrown kid 😂) Thank you, Tape Library, for another interesting installment!
@TheTapeLibrary I live in the oldest town in West Virginia, and my building is old, decrepit and haunted AF. It's ALWAYS creepy here, mate. No staging necessary 😅 Edit: I will critique the episode later, but I already know it's a winner!
Your videos are quickly becoming a highlight of my week, and this and Mel’s Hole have been by far your best work that was already considerable to begin with. I can’t help but feel that this particular case has more than an element of the mantra: if you want to make a house haunted, tell someone it’s haunted. But the multiple witnesses are certainly compelling and it’s one of the most intriguing from these isles. Any chance you could look into the Battersea Poltergeist at some point?
You did so well on this my man!! Really nice to hear about something that has captured you yourself. Keep up the good work. Always happy to return to the tape library.
Why do people always assume it's a mannequin? Who would keep a mannequin in their house? How is that the first thing that comes to your mind? Especially when the house is known to be haunted.
Mannequin is a rational assumption. Ghost isn't. And probably doesn't move so they don't assume person. And yea putting a Mannequin in the widow would be something people could imagine someone doing to play up the spook factor
@@mickdipiano8768 yeah cuz tons of people keep mannequins in their house. Tell me the last time you saw someone who owns a mannequin? You sound like a fedora wearing skeptic from Reddit.
Thank you for another great story! 🥰 I’ve always been a bit skeptical when it comes to haunting, demons, etc. despite having some experiences over that years that I cannot explain. However, there is no way in Hell I would ever knowingly live somewhere with such a dark history!

I've been facinated with The Cage since hearing about it from a paranormal podcast. Great storytelling, as usual.
Hope you enjoy it!
16:50 scared the daylights out of me. Excellent video and editing Tape Library!!!
Haha I'm so glad, I got far too excited when I found that breathing sound effect hidden in my many many folders. Was too perfect not to use.
@@TheTapeLibrarythis video is so good that I cast it to my TV to watch and relax after work. Well the sudden visual of that creepy man creature behind the woman made me literally jump out of my relaxed position! Your work is evolving and impressive. This one totally engrossed me.
Im watching this at 3:15 am in my dark apartment and that visual fully set off my fight or flight responce
@@thehelldoicallthis9241 my husband and I both jumped and screamed lol scared the shit out of us!
What timing. On a road trip and on a binge of all your videos. Then i see this pop up. Thank you for making my drive a hell of a lot easier.
Enjoy! Hope the drive goes smoothly
Oh man, the official office of The Tape Library is a fantastic idea. This really does sound like one of the most haunted places discussed here. I don't think I'd brave one night, definitely not alone. You tell one hell of a horror story, phenomenal video.
Thanks for watching as always!
These are genuinely brilliant, atmospheric music, creepy video and your voice is so calming despite the spooky content
Thank you!
Perfect evening viewing. Great editing and storytelling. Thanks tape library.
No worries! Thanks for watching
Your stories always include the nuance I am missing from most ghost stories, and I very much appreciate the victims of the witch trials not being demonized.
Thank you! Do people tend to demonize them? I feel, in my part of the world at least it's seen as a pretty awful part of our history.
@@TheTapeLibrary a lot of media dealing with "witch trials" stuff, they often treat the mostly women victims as if they were all actually witches. I don't know if that's what the original commenter meant, but I personally have always found that frustrating and disrespectful, because the entire point was that there weren't actually witches, it was religious hysteria and an excuse to kill poor people.
That has to be the first time hearing of someone walking through a ghost to show dominance
New listener here. I Love the stories and your research! Almost through the other vids. Your voice, is like butter - soothes me every time. Can't wait for the next episode of Tape Library and Night Drive ❤
Thanks and welcome to the channel! :)
It's cuz they're British I'm telling you, it's like if a documentary isn't narrated by a British accent I don't believe it
I’ve been binge-watching your videos, and this one is great! I’ve always wanted to visit The Cage since I saw the video with Debbie’s face changing. You're so lucky-I’m a bit jealous!😁 Tyfs❤
Your videos are my nightly go-to for relaxing before bed.
“Get yourself a warm drink and dim the light” has become the phrase that signals my brain to set aside the days worries.
I very much appreciate your work. You’re top-notch!
Thank you! Glad it helps relax you
Perfect! Got some chores around the house to do, got my bluetooth on, listening now. Thanks for another upload!
Glad to keep you company while you get the jobs done!
"Get yourself a warm drink" yeah it's currently 97 degrees outside, but I will enjoy the video either way.
On this one occasion, you can grab a cold drink. But you owe me!
Occasionally when I listen to the TL, I will wait until dark, turn the air conditioner to a cold setting, put on my flannel pjs, grab a hot cocoa and pretend that it is a chilly, rainy October night 😅
Well it’s going to hit 90 here today but have 100 + days coming up. Yes Tape Library I’m also drinking a cold one! So what do I owe you??😃
@@karenroot450 I'm demanding so many cups of tea from you all if I ever make it over to america
@@TheTapeLibrary No problem. Just let me know what Brand and flavor? And loose leaf or bags? I’ll even make lil crust less sandwiches and little glazed cakes!
Right when i was almost caught up, impeccable timing mr. Library
I knew, that's why I released it! Can't have you running out of things to watch.
I just got off work and sat down to relax and grind in a game and thought "damn wish I had some the tape library to listen to" 😭🙏
I got you!
@@TheTapeLibrary hell yeah my man 😌
The wait is over. Notified and watching. Been looking forward to this one.
Hope you enjoy it!
Always do mate!
“Please don’t actually do this”
Let’s do it tape library gang
As I have said elsewhere, I do not want to be eaten by demons.
Another awesome episode. Cold here in Australia at the moment so snuggled under a blanket at night watching Tape Library ❤️
Thank you so much!
Wow! This was a good one! So many different events and
Like you said it's like the haunting was feeding off different people's back grounds and personal beliefs and fears. Keep the Tapes Rollin my friend!! You've come such a long way and it's been really cool watching this channel become the community it is!! Long live THE TAPE LIBRARY! I'LL be waiting and watching for your next one! Take Care!!
Glad you liked it!
Fantastic, love all your stories from the tape library.
I'm so glad I have off today. Linked right up to my TV. You just keep outdoing yourself mate.
Hope this one lives up to your expectations!
@TheTapeLibrary not expectations lol. You're just great it's a matter of fact thing.
I’ve heard this story on another channel, but I really enjoyed your style of telling it
Watched it three times in a row. I loved every second of it . The longer format is my favourite. You have such talent for narrating creepy tales. Thank you!!
Awesome, thank you so much as always!
Always makes the day better when the tape library uploads ❤
This channel is about the only paranormal channels I still enjoy
Awesome! Hope you liked this one
I did I remember seeing that clip but never knew the story behind it so it was interesting 😊
You, sir, are truly a gifted storyteller. Your timing is on point. My gifts tell me that Vanessa is the real deal. Thank you for the video.
You are so welcome and thanks for the kind words.
This story sent shivers down my spine!
A joyous day, another entry to The Tape Library!
Hope you like this one
New sub! Just when I thought I ran out of content, I stumble into this gem of a channel, and I'm not even that big into the paranormal anymore, but your storytelling is impeccable! Can't wait to see this channel growing even more
Awesome! Thank you!
11:42 So.. she knew her friend was ill, and due for surgery soon, and wanted a place for her to be able to relax and rest.. And she fully knowingly and consciously as a believer of the paranormal chose the ONE house that was consistently called the most terrifying, evil haunted place with the darkest most gritty history and sightings for her to stay in????
I mean, her friend also knew the history of it. While she believed and claimed to have seen things earlier in her life, I don't think she really expected what they went on to experience in the cage.
Although...the suicide would 100% make me think twice
Pranked.
i mean, she needs to live in the house to have credible stories for her book she knew she was gonna write later.
It could be a very clever try at an earn at the front end, but several times she ended up traumatised, maybe making something out of little or nothing, but being lumbered with your mortgage, a new born and leaving your home to move I with a friend, then go on to pay rent. Hard one to call, maybe her willingness to believe and the buildings own, energy, combined to thin the veil. Who knows, gave me heebie jeebies watching it....
I've never heard of this case before, and so thank you for your detailed description of the activity there. This really is the best channel within the genre in my opinion and I look forward to every upload.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video- as always ;) I watched a video of this story somewhere else a while back (can't recall just where) but I definitely like your telling of it better.
Thanks!
I stumbled across your channel and I'm so glad I did. I actually saw the ad for this place years ago when it was for sale, so great to get more background.
Welcome aboard!
Finally!!!! I wait for these. I watch your videos over and over again, even though I know most of them by heart!!
I also love your new page by the way. Having two pages of content from you, is like doublemint gum.... double the pleasure, double the fun!😂
Thank you! Means a lot that you enjoy them so much
I love your analogy TL VS Doublemint Gum!! 🤣
Hi TH-cam recommended me to you. I love the this and the two other stories that I’ve heard so far… the link… i listen while I’m cleaning or gardening or driving.al and while studying. Your voice is relaxing lol. I end up listening to the stories twice if it’s during my studies. Have a good one!!!! Keep up the great work!
Glad you are enjoying them!
This was the best one you've ever produced. I am going to email you, but, darn it, why? Why must I wait so long, for more more more?! You are killing me! I want another new episode! Lol
Haha, if I have to work any quicker I think I might end up one of these ghosts
Omg I’m in LOVE with this channel!!!! Best content EVER! Quality material people, QUALITY!
Thank you! :)
Amazing that you covered this, it's where I live and used to drive past it every day. I wish I would have gone on a ghost tour back when they was doing them here.
Same! Really want to go inside
Kia ora from NZ, 10pm here!
I've only just "found" your channel and really enjoyed this report on The Cage! Thanks so much, it must take a lot of time to research and then create these tapes. I'm British and owned a 1600's house in Hertfordshire until I emmigrated. It was most definitely occupied by someone/thing else as were many other houses in our town and the many tiny villages nearby. It was just accepted, never investigated or spoken much about. I experienced some pretty scary things at times, and can recall them some 30 years later as if it was yesterday.
Please keep up your great work, I really like your relaxed and unbiased style - you definitely have a new fan from Hira near Nelson, NZ
thank you and welcome to the channel!
First time discovering your channel. I know of this cottage and remember it being for sale a few years back. I remember it took a long time to sell. Great video, very scary.
Welcome aboard!
Thank you so much for all the time you take making these videos and doing lots of research.
I love the quality ! And also listening to your accent , it helps when I'm feeling homesick ( I've been living in France for 4 years now .)
Looking forward to more amazing vidéos by you !
You are so welcome! Less ghosts in France?
@@TheTapeLibrary I have had one odd experience whilst living in Rue du Hameau which is in the 15th district of Paris.
It was around 2 / 3 ish Am and my partner and I were in bed . He was sleeping and I was struggling to get to sleep because of the heat and pollution.
I started to hear the sound of a horse trotting down our road and neighing .
Well I jumped out of bed to quickly have a look from our balocony because in that area you don't have horses let alone people riding horses at that time in the morning.
Stood there watching and listening and I could still hear the sound of a horse trotting. I ended up feeling uncomfortable with the whole thing and went back to the bed.
I did ask my partner if he heard anything but he said no ( he was sleeping like a log.)
I would say from my experiences is that Pembrokeshire is by far the most haunted place I have lived ( especially the 500 year old house in Prendergast which is in Haverfordwest.)
Lots of things happened there in which the whole of my family including our dog at the time experienced as well as myself , it was very disturbing.

I would say from my experiences is that Pembrokeshire is by far the most haunted place I have lived ( especially the 500 year old house in Prendergast in a town named Haverfordwest) all of my family and our dog at the time expérienced things there such as sightings of adults and children dressed in Edwardian style clothing that were just disapear, my rocking horse being pushed, mine and my siblings names being called in our mums voice , we would run downstairs all together to her and ask what was the matter and she would tell us she had never called us and the same happend to her . She also had a hooded figure stand over her whilst she was in bed. We also had sightings of UFOs in Haverfordwest . First time was when we lived in Tudor Gardens and it looked like metal spheres gliding over the feild that our house overlooked .
And the other was in a Village called Wolfscastle where my mum called me to come and have a look at these massive lights that looked like that which are in football stadiums one night that Were not far from our house , I remember freaking out and I'll admit I started to cry . My mum just told me to calm down as she was more comfortable with the whole thing .
All I remember after that is I started to say I don't want to see it anymore repeatedly and she told me it was fine and to go to bed . We both spoke about it the next day and looked around . There was no explaination for it .
Sorry for the long message but I was thinking of sharing some of my experiences with you before so here you go haha .
This is all true and I have nothing to gain from telling you this .
I've just discovered your podcast. Thanks for a fascinating episode. Being American, there are very few buildings in my country that are as old as The Cage. I think there's bound to be entities attached to such places just by virtue of them being so old.
That being said, if you want to guarantee a place to be haunted, a prison is a sure fire way to make that happen. Prisons are places of trauma, suffering, death, and malice. That kind of environment absolutely imprints on the structure, even after the prison ceases to house inmates.
Oooooh, another scary story. Never heard of this one either. Love your storytelling. Gives me goosebumps. Love it❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such an interesting setting. The house seems to form a triangle on both sides that include the haunted alley. Maybe this triggers paranormal energy. I definitely plan to purchase Vanessa's book. Also thank you for acknowledging the diverse individuals in this community you have created on your channel and encouraging positivity. I hope you can raise the money for The Tape Library to move into this very interesting location. Although having watched that part again I know you didn't mean it. I love the yellow shaded exterior of this Tudor looking coach house type building which may even have been a church.
Yoooooo!!!! That just gave me chills up my whole spine. No way I would go there. That woman’s face gave me goosebumps and chills.
my second video of yours I watched and I'm not surprised by how fast you've grown. Amazing work! Wonderful voice for these videos
Thank you :)
I’m so excited for this one! Your videos scare me like no one else’s do. They scare my husband just as much but I’m making him watch it anyway so I’m not alone 😂❤ Edit: ok last edit I swear lol but this is by far the most terrifying video you’ve posted yet!! God this one was so scary and one I had never heard about before. I thought the one of Hael Fanog (not sure if that’s how it’s spelled) was the scariest one but this one blew it out of the water
Love to hear this! Thank you
That was very interesting. It definitely gives the idea of the paranormal some more validity.
I believe she did experience these encounters. As someone who has had unexplained experiences in a home I rented for a year in Killeen, Tx I too, sought help from a local paranormal investigator to help understand what was happening in this home. To this day I am actively researching the property and reached out to those who have lived in the home after me to see if they have experienced anything similar. Not everyone is after fame perhaps some were just so traumatized by their experiences they simply need some form of closure. It’s been 10 years since I lived in that home and the thought of my experiences still instill me with fear to this day.
Look. Just get a Catholic priest. For real, you don't have to be a believer, but it's the only thing that works yo get rid of it.
Nice tape! Very interesting… would love to see a live investigation of this place.
Yay!!! What a stupendous surprise! I'd set myself to wait for the next Night Drive, but this is awesome. Great topic for this too.
Trying to alternate, so one week TL, the next week NDP. That's the rough plan anyway. If I keep writing 45 min+ scripts I'm not sure how long I can keep that up haha.
@@TheTapeLibrary Tis a beastly operation for a solo production. For what it's worth, your narration has continued to get better (it was never bad), and the topics continue to be interesting and well researched and told. Keep fighting the good fight!
@@sbsstorytelling Thanks!
This was a very interesting and thorough investigation. This was an unbiased investigation which lends credibility to what you have made. I will definitely recommend it to my friends.
It's tape library time! Dim those lights grab a cuppa and settle in for the night
Hope you enjoyed this one
Splendid! Thank you mate for upload & all your hard work 👏☕️📽
Thank you for watching!
Loved this in-depth history. Thank you.❤
no worries, thanks for watching
The one thing I’m jelous about is that the UK has houses dating back to the 1500s and you can live in them
I've often thought the same thing. Living in NZ there's nothing even within centuries of being this old.
Even older than that, one of our oldest houses that’s still in use as an occupied private property dates back to 1150!
@@charlotteadams9720 how?
I have often thought about that too. Even here in the USA we have homes in the New England states with homes or parts of their homes from back in the 1700s or earlier, which for us is really old. But the farther west we go the younger the houses get.
The house I'm currently renting and living in was made in 1843 and everyone is amazed at how old that is. LOL.
Yep. And still a better build and better materials than they've used for the last 50years. Bless you and takecare from U.K.
As usual, totally glued to the storytelling- thank you for the stories!
Thank you!
The perfect treat for my lunch break.
Nice!
I love your videos keep them coming
Thank you for another great episode. Love it ❤
You are so welcome!
48:10 it sounds like when you was bringing up the crowd funding you were holding back from laughing! But that would make one hell of an office!
I mean it would haha, but no
Your edits are perfect as always
Glad you like them!
Love the way the full story is narrated, with visuals and pictures, well done...
Do you have any links to the actual footage of this place?
Thank you. Not to hand, but if you just search for it here on youtube there is quite a bit
I haven't ever been to Essex but the few times I've visited the UK I've heard of quite a few haunted spots for each area I was in. Your country is LOADED with haunted locations. I remember going to see Finding Dory with some friends at the Reel Cinema in Plymouth, Devon and my buddy asked if we could leave the building right after the movie was over. Said he felt a presence there that made him feel sick. Now he's visually impaired so its possible that he was probably a lot more sensitive to that kind of thing, but I do remember feeling very funny walking down the hall to the restroom of that building. Definitely strange. There's a distillery in the same area that is apparently haunted by the spirit of the former owner's young daughter. Do you think you might ever do a special long video in the future covering smaller various UK hauntings?
I've kind of got something like that in the very early stages of planning, although it may not be a youtube video. I'll leave it as that for now...
@@TheTapeLibrary awesome 😁
One day before I deploy? Perfect Timing my man.
Hope you'll be back soon! I'll be sure to have at least another one out before you get back
What branch? Best of luck!🫡

Thankyou for your service. Top man. Stay safe
This is my first comment on youtube ever and you have fully earned it. Thank you so much for your talents and energy. I hope to one day have you read my own paranormal experiences out loud but that is for another time. I work at a theatre house in Bergen, Norway and I have experienced things there that would be hard to fall asleep to, which I realize is the opposite of what you try to do but might still be very exciting. Love and deep respect from Norway
Thank you! I'd love to give it a read, feel free to email me whenever you want
I love you Tape Library
Much love to you too!
Fabulous content, as always. Its a really difficult genre to break into online, and you have smashed in! 👍
Never expected to break through, just did this because I was spending far too much of my time reading about this stuff and wanted a creative outlet for it. So pleased that so many people have jumped on board in the last few months though and really grateful.
As a new listner, i am glad i found it. I remember a story of a guy that i dont remember why but for some reason it began to rain in the house. It rained sideways and even from the floor up. Police were called and they carried him to jail and it started up there too. If you havent done it already. Very interesting and creepy story.
I know what I’m doing later…. I got a date with this upload…
Don't forget to let me know what you think!
And it's gonna get HOT...as hell 😈
@@DancinDane I’m laughing lol- I can’t even wait to listen to it not gonna lie - it’s one of my favorite things during my week when he uploads
@@agent3557Same - easily one of my favorite channels already, and the quality of the content just keeps on rising. I just finished this - another heck of a ride, and definitely one of the creepiest ones so far. Enjoy! 🙌
Same❤
I’m loving the videos man, you’re storytelling is amazing, keep it up 🙌
Thank you!
The alternative title for this episode should be "Events that make you say, 'Nope. Don't like that.''"
haha!
The fact that no one can live in the property for longer than a few months says something. Sounds like it's a portal that attracts negative energy. Some definitive video/film evidence of phenomena would be revealing. Thanks for the video
You do an amazing job narrating love your stories❤
I was going to wait and watch this after dark, but I am too excited to wait that long! Lol! (I'm such an overgrown kid 😂) Thank you, Tape Library, for another interesting installment!
oh you at least need to close the curtains. This is one that needs the dark.
Let me know what you think!
@TheTapeLibrary I live in the oldest town in West Virginia, and my building is old, decrepit and haunted AF. It's ALWAYS creepy here, mate. No staging necessary 😅 Edit: I will critique the episode later, but I already know it's a winner!
Your videos are quickly becoming a highlight of my week, and this and Mel’s Hole have been by far your best work that was already considerable to begin with. I can’t help but feel that this particular case has more than an element of the mantra: if you want to make a house haunted, tell someone it’s haunted. But the multiple witnesses are certainly compelling and it’s one of the most intriguing from these isles. Any chance you could look into the Battersea Poltergeist at some point?
It's 100% one I'd like to get to at some point. Thanks for watching!
Why am I only hearing this for the 1st time... Very intriguing indeed...
Ah, love it when I can introduce people to a new story!
I was waiting! Amazing episode. Great channel. Watching your videos with my bf is my favorite past time. All love 🤍
Awesome! Glad you guys enjoy it together
One for the evening walk. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy it!
You did so well on this my man!! Really nice to hear about something that has captured you yourself. Keep up the good work. Always happy to return to the tape library.
Thank you!
Dude i love this channel
Thanks dragon friend!
I love this video (and your channel).
My recommendation is the ghostly roman legion in york, England.
Thanks!
Why do people always assume it's a mannequin? Who would keep a mannequin in their house? How is that the first thing that comes to your mind? Especially when the house is known to be haunted.
Mannequin is a rational assumption. Ghost isn't. And probably doesn't move so they don't assume person.
And yea putting a Mannequin in the widow would be something people could imagine someone doing to play up the spook factor
@@mickdipiano8768 yeah cuz tons of people keep mannequins in their house. Tell me the last time you saw someone who owns a mannequin? You sound like a fedora wearing skeptic from Reddit.
Thank you for another great story! 🥰
I’ve always been a bit skeptical when it comes to haunting, demons, etc. despite having some experiences over that years that I cannot explain.
However, there is no way in Hell I would ever knowingly live somewhere with such a dark history!
