As an avid consumer of lots of mystery/scary/paranormal content I finally found this channel to be an ultimate representation of what I've always been looking for. Been watching a lot of now very famous youtubers grow from moderately viewed channels to a wildly successful. I do not want to downplay The Tape Library by any comparisons, as it has it's very own, unique and unparalleled potential. I believe and am personally very much looking forward to watching it's well-deserved, intense growth in the near future.

This is definitely, by far, the best documentary on the Smurl case. Very thoroughly and accurately researched. Every other video on this case seems to leave out very important details for some reason. Thank you for including so much crucial information.

Please know that this is all demonic: ghosts, deceased people, aliens, ufo's, yeti, orbs, elves and the likes are nothing but fallen angels (demons). Born again Christians have the authority to rebuke them in the name of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST! but only within their surroundings, no human can make unclean places clean or free large areas from these entities, only prayers and sometimes fasting will help. How to become born again: Thank JESUS for paying for your sins on the cross and HIS resurrection on the 3rd day! You must be sincere and remember that JESUS is GOD (see John 1!

You have NO idea how excited I am to see that you have a 3-hour video of strictly paranormal stories. There are only a few channels out there that make video comps that are only paranormal stories. The ones that do don’t really have great narration. You are a great narrator and I am loving ALL of your content so far. I hope you’ll make another paranormal compilation again someday!

[@Mayakran]

I listen to this stuff when I’m out driving making deliveries. I live in the greater Seattle area, which is actually very well-populated with a sprawling urban/suburban center with a population of 10 million+ people, but occasionally I’ll make deliveries out into more rural areas and even locations that are straight up in the middle of the woods, and dinner time is when things are most busy, so it’s usually in the dark. Let me tell you, when you’re driving down deserted, winding country roads with nothing but a black wall of pine trees on either side, the creeps really do start to settle in if you e been listening to stuff about demons and ghosts and whatnot. My mother called me a “masochist” for listening to this stuff while I drive but I love it 😂. Thanks for this content! You keep me from going crazy with boredom!

I do the same but in SWFL! Sometimes I get scared and have to turn my stories off especially when I'm driving out by the state parks where all it is is woods and very very few street lights. Other times I get myself all scared after listening for hrs and thinking I'm seeing something out in the woods 😂😂

[@danielgomes6579]

I live in this area and I remember when this happened. It was insanity with the people and the teenagers driving by the Smurl's would constantly shout out and make fun of the situation. I feel for what the Smurl's went through if this is all true. These parts of PA are known for a high amount of coal miners & Native American deaths through the centuries/decades. Everything is very old. In fact, when Hurricane Agnes came through, it actually unearthed grave sites.

In the skeptic chapter of this video, I had seen a TED talk of a woman who went through a traumatic experience with a haunted home. She had a gone through all the things that a person would do to free their home of a presence: priests blessing the home and property, blessing the home with sage, etc. But nothing she did ever worked, the paranoia and fear and the occasional sights and sounds of an entity was always present and getting stronger. Fast forward, a friend who worked in the medical field, while listening to her story about was going on in the home, sounded familiar her to her. She asked her friend who was living in the home if she could do something for her to rule out some natural causes of such a phenomenon. One of them was to have her home tested for gas leaks. Sure enough, her home that was built with a natural gas line was leaking into her home causing many of the auditory and visual hallucinations that made the home feel like it was haunted. In fact, the build up of gases in the home was displacing the oxygen to the point that if she stayed at her home any longer she could have died. She experienced fogging thinking, lack of strength and weakness, feelings of dread and despair, feeling as though someone was watching her, etc. it could between the age of the home, the age of their natural gas lines, and whatever could be going with sewage and sewer gas leaks in the home. Could possibly contribute to the phenomena within the home. Here is the link to the TED Talk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGncmZR8mcR6pq8si=D2iCpgHFqqXxONej

The book about this haunting, "The Haunted," is a fantastic read as is "In a Dark Place" and the "The Devil in Connecticut." All three being about hauntings encountered by the Warrens. While the Warrens were definitely exploitive--and had borderline ridiculous ideas about hauntings vs. demonic infestation--these books were terrifying to me when I was young.

I read the book about them in the 90s and it scared me so bad I couldn't sleep for two nights. Then I had my own haunting later when this young guy who was a creepy peeping Tom three doors down from me killed two women and himself. Only he never left. But that's another story.

[@TheTapeLibrary]

@@moonfire41 I need to hear this story!

[@moonfire41]

Here's my story: This happened in 1991 in a small one level apartment complex in Nampa Idaho. I used to have this young guy in his 20s stalk me. I was always catching him trying to spy on me through any crack of the curtains he could find. Once I hung up the phone and heard the crunching of gravel outside. I flipped the curtains and saw him hunched over and running away. If he started doing worse I was gonna call the cops or the landlady. Cut to months later and I hear a commotion outside. I go out and my landlady is chain smoking next to my building. She is watching the ambulance loading three bodies onto stretchers and taking them away. I tried asking the cops but they wouldn't telle, but my landlady did. She said this young guy who lived there had just killed two women then himself. I moved out the next month. Now we time skip to the next year, when I move into the same complex behind where I used to live. Everything is normal for a couple months. Then one night I'm awoken by the shadow man. He was floating above me looking down at me by just two feet or so. He had no eyes. He was made up of swirling black smoke. His body was long and skinny. His head tilted up and down like he was looking between my body to my face. What was the most disturbing was he kept making motions like he was trying to have s*x with me but I couldn't feel anything but air. I was disgusted and scared to death and screamed at him to get off me. He flew backwards into the wall and faded to a pale grey shadow. I slept out in the living room for awhile. Nothing else happened for three weeks except feeling anger coming from that room off and on. Cut to the last incident before I moved out. This time he sat on my bed when I was sleeping. The creepiest part was feeling his weight and my feet sliding into him like he was solid. I woke myself up and nothing was there. After I moved out the next month I was glad he didn't follow me. I don't know if this was the ghost of the same guy or not.There was one more incident though. Three years later my sister and her 5 year old daughter moved into the same apartments on the other side of where I had lived. I was babysitting for her one late night when a faint shadow appeared behind the lamp with the dimmer switch. The shadow turned the light off and on three times slowly. As long as I went there he would never leave me alone. He must have had a crush on me or something. My sister's daughter also cried soon after that down the hall so he must have scared her too. I wish I'd asked my sister if anything weird happened to them when they lived there but I didn't. That was the last I saw of the voyeur ghost. Next time I'll share my poltergeist story, which was even more intense, and so was his presence. That one was attached to one of my friends who moved to Idaho from Massachusetts, and his presence was strong and frightening. He was not human. She used to live in the Bridgewater Triangle where she and her friends were always seeing cryptids and black robes people doing messed up rituals in the woods. They're not just urban legends. I think she picked up one of the demons they summoned because I had a panic attack almost every time she visited me. When I told her that she said she didn't know where it came from. But I'll save that for next time.

[@michaeldoran4367]

Hmm... that's interesting. So don't even recognize it at all?

Once you recognize it, it invites whatever it is to stick to your energy field It feeds on your fears and emotions so if you don’t recognize it, it won’t have power over you

[@labgrrl7759]

I've been doing research for a story on some traditional faeries, and I'm so very struck by the fact that nearly every culture agrees that if something is calling your name and you don't know what it is, don't turn around, because it's an evil/mischievous creature that is going to take you away... This belief is so wide-spread that I think it might be older than our species is. It's incredibly interesting, and many cultures that don't share areas or languages share such beliefs. A related belief is your 3rd (or higher number) name- that you should only respond if it gives your full name, including a secret name that you know and that full name should never appear on any record so that you can't be supernaturally identity thefted.

The moment that someone in the family gets sexually assaulted by an unknown entity should have been the moment the family left that house. I’d make my family live in the car before allowing anyone inside that house again. That’s crazy to me.

[@nightowl5475]

I agree 100% with you. I finally realized why demons never bother me. I’m kinda ashamed to say it but what the hell, here goes! Ya see, demons gravitate toward fear. They want a young vulnerable person that will be violated and full of fear. Also, a person who has lots of possessions and wealth, fear death and fear the unknown. I have nothing to offer a demon. If a demon came into my bedroom and woke me up, I’d say, “What the hell took ya?” Here’s all my bills, here’s the email saying, I’m gonna be put out of my condo for being delinquent on payments, recently my partner left me for someone else. I’m already in hell. The first thing I’d say is, here’s a roll of paper towels. You want me, I got a dog that shits all over the apartment. I hear, hell is a terrible place, if you take me and this dog, all the demons are gonna be stepping in dog shit, so, you better get used to having a roll of paper towels near you. Then, I would show the demon all the letters I got from collection agencies that day in the mail, baby, you want me, you get the whole 9 yards. Get used to opening mail like this everyday. After 5 minutes, the demon would say to his pals in hell, this guy is in worse shape than us. Let’s go next door! This guy doesn’t fear death, HE welcomes it! Now, if I hit the lottery, and I had something to live for, then, a demon could haunt me. But now, a demon won’t go anywhere near a guy like me!

Love this video and your work investigating in depth on this case. I subscribed. I appreciate your efforts and will watch past videos. I know this case and read the book years ago, but I enjoyed how you covered the case. I mostly had forgotten the details, forgotten how awful the events were. Thanks! Great job! Keep it coming!!

I grew up in a haunted house. So l love hearing others story. When my mom sold the house the next family had their issues with the house they moved out and told their story to the news paper.

[@horizontide568]

So did i..It was a new house but it was across the street from a cemetery. I would wake up in the middle of the night hearing banging noises from inside the closet door. The door knob for the bathroom once started twisting like someone was trying to open it and the floor would creak like something was walking around. My parents clearly doubted my stories. I moved out at 19 but later they told me that something was beating on the wall like it was coming from my old bedroom and apparently it lasted for like a week but only at night. Their neighbor even heard it once apparently and came over with a gun, thinking that someone was breaking in on my parents. I think about that shit often. They still live there...fck that lol

[@NanaBren]

I have lived in 3 haunted houses. Only one was truly evil. I have been sensitive to spirits since childhood. My grandma’s house was haunted, and she regularly used an Ouija board. Believe me, I could tell you some scary sh*t.

[@raeray8245]

People who do black magick will purposely buy a house across from the entrance of a cemetery bc the 'spirit's will come right into the house .@@horizontide568

[@anticksss]

I lived in a haunted house for ten years. We never had anything malevolent, but we had collected antiques in the past which may have attwcted some unwanted guests. It's funny because since I moved from that home my new house feels too quiet. There were always bumps in the night at my former home, but it was part of the character of the home so to speak. It almost made th e house feel more alive if that makes sense. The new home

[@NanaBren]

I totally understand that. You get so used to the activity that it is weird to NOT have it. The house I lived in from age 11 to 18 was over 100 years old. We named the ghost Sarah. She was benevolent and kept us entertained. I did get mad at her one Christmas Day when my new watch went missing from an end table in the living room. I sat it there when I went to eat. We never found it. I made sure, when the house was being torn down many years later that anything found in the walls or ceiling would be saved. Sadly, no watch, but we did find a hidden door.

These stories are scary enough, but your voice/narration makes them even more so. I was listening to this story today while I was cleaning the house. About halfway through the broom fell over in the other room (no carpet) and hit the floor with a loud snapping sound. I swear I nearly pee’d my pants!! 😂🤣😂🤣

Subscribed just the other day - I'm savoring your videos. Your calm, clear narration is exceptional. Easy to listen to, not overly-dramatized, and well researched - just awesome content. As an aside, am I the only one who starts to cringe whenever the Warrens appear during these events? I feel it's a shame that they're so inextricably linked with the story of modern paranormal investigation.

[@nicoletorrance3786]

Hello Tape Library! I very much enjoyed this video. I listen to your scary stories compilations while I'm at work, and it makes the day fly by. I enjoyed this video, and it's clear that you put tremendous effort into your content. I love the visuals! Thank you so much!

[@AngxIzzXO]

You have made an immense improvement to your channel. I remember watching your Warrens video, and thought it was pretty generic and meh, but lately quality is outstanding. The haunted farm you narrated I thought was better than bedtime stories and this one is top notch as well. Im sure your channel will blow up soon ❤

[@TheTapeLibrary]

Ah thank you! I don’t tend to go back and watch the old ones, out of interest do you remember which warrens one it was? Covered a few of their cases at this point.

[@AngxIzzXO]

@@TheTapeLibrary No, I don't remember which one unfortunately, but I watched your videos from newest to oldest and I've noticed in your newest videos you are being a little more sceptical towards them and open to possibility of them being crooks, which I appreciate. I believe in paranormal, but not these 2, haha.

Classic haunting, well narrated too, I remember seeing the 1991 Movie The Haunted. It really gave me chills.

[@darius_alex2043]

Yes I wish they would make a remastered version of that movie.

[@ladyt1866]

I remember seeing this case on a few shows back in the late 90s I felt so bad for this family.

[@harmnone1111]

Remarkable video.👍 Thoroughly engaging, very well done. I have seen this case before and I would have to say, this would have to be one of the most horrifying supernatural encounters I have ever read or have seen in a documentary. Please make more of these.

[@TheTapeLibrary]

Glad you liked it! Have covered quite a few other cases like this on the channel already if you want to check them out :)

[@jasoncolon96]

I never heard of Ed and Loraine being "shunded" by a whole town. I learned something new!! Interesting stories brother 👊🏽.......Keep em coming!

[@elliedear7053]

I thoroughly enjoyed your documentary and am so glad I came across your channel! I can't wait to binge the rest of your stuff. This poor family... I'm not too fond of the Warrens due to their reluctance to submit the evidence they claimed to have, but that doesn't mean this family didn't experience the pain, torment, and isolation caused by this entity. When you can't trust your neighbors, church, or even your own mind who can you turn to? I'm glad they got away from there.

[@maledikt]

Ok, your narration is quite good. It isn't overblown or stuffed with sfx like some other channels, which I appreciate. I also like that you do point out the media frenzies, and obviously controversial events like the involvement of the Warrens (whom I can't stand being pedestaled), and I also like how you tend to point out (in other videos as well) that sometimes these stories have obvious religious biases towards certain religions / denominations. I like this more cautious take. It's refreshing.

[@firstnamelastname6216]

Great job man!!! As someone who has experienced two genuine encounters, it's very important to me to hear about different paranormal events. I used to scoff at and brush off these things, but after 2015 I was forever changed. You did a great job, and I subbed. Good luck!!! 👍✌️

Can you share your experience with us that happened in 2015? I’ve dealt with some things that let me know I’ve dealt with similar situations.

Love your narration on these videos, it really draws one in. I am so glad you brought up the fact that the Warrens were a bit unscrupulous as I have read a lot about this fact and agree that although they often claimed they gave their services free, they made an awful lot of money on books and films etc.

[@liselemol5864]

How should have the Warrens make money? They needed to live just like the rest of us. I did not find them unscrupulous.

It’s interesting that these cases - or rather entities- sometimes seem to attach themselves to particular people, and when subsequent families move in to the same property, they don’t have any problems.

The Warrens becoming what they are now is just forever amusing to me. As a UConn student in the late 90s/early 2000s, they would come by every Halloween to do presentations. They were pretty funny with Lorraine quietly steering Ed away from rambling. They talked about possessions and the Raggedy Anne doll... and they were just interesting to listen to. Never would I have thought anything would have come of their stories the way they did. Like I say...funny to think about for me:)
