The Tape Library - Archive of the Paranormal & the Unexplained – Details, episodes & analysis

Between 1956 and 1968, a quiet house in Battersea, South London became the center of one of the strangest and most disturbing poltergeist cases in British history. For over a decade, a young girl named Shirley Hitchings was plagued by unexplained knocks, flying objects, and chilling messages from an unseen force. In this deep-dive documentary, we explore the terrifying true story of the Battersea Poltergeist — through real accounts, media coverage, and theories that still divide believers and skeptics to this day.

Lake Superior is full of secrets. They call it Gitche Gumee — the Great Sea. But the waters of Lake Superior hide more than waves and wrecks. They hide the unexplainable. Stories of ghost ships seen in the fog… of voices heard in lighthouses long abandoned… of fighter jets that vanish from the sky. This isn’t just a lake, it’s a graveyard, a mystery, and maybe something more. From shipwrecks that vanish without a trace to haunted lighthouses, ancient copper miners, and ghostly figures seen along the frozen shores — Lake Superior is not just vast, it’s deeply haunted. In this video, we explore the terrifying folklore and true mysteries that have plagued this inland sea for centuries. You’ll hear stories rooted in Native American legend, high strangeness that links UFOs and spirits to the same remote places, and unsettling accounts like the Kinross Incident — where a military jet disappeared while chasing something unknown. Beneath the lake’s cold, black surface lies more than just shipwrecks… it holds stories that refuse to stay buried. ☠️ Haunted lighthouses 🛸 Disappearances and UFO encounters 👣 Ancient legends of spirits and monsters 🌲 The strange pull of cursed land and water 🎧 Ambient storytelling, no loud jumpscares — ideal for late-night viewing. 🔔 Subscribe for more haunted history and real paranormal cases. #lakesuperior  #hauntedhistory  #ParanormalDocumentary Support the channel with Patreon - www.patreon.com/thetapelibrary Do you have a supernatural story to share?
