The Tape Library - Archive of the Par...

They said it was just a story.

A haunting someone imagined. A light in the sky with a rational explanation. Just a noise in the walls. A mistake, a hoax. But over the years these stories seem to persist. And not all of them seem to have easy answers.

This is The Tape Library. A collection of the paranormal, the strange, and the unexplained. Each episode examines a different case. These are the stories that keep me awake at night wondering "what if...". Told through immersive documentary style narrative, firsthand accounts, and whatever evidence still lingers.

First, we hear the story.

Then, we try to understand it.

You might not believe all of it.

You’re not supposed to.

But everywhere has a ghost story.

And someone needs to keep the record.
