Hi, love that first story about Rock Island. The first strange experience that I remember happened in 1974, when I was 6, almost 7. I lived in Somerset, SW England. My primary school had arranged a day trip to visit Longleat House, Wiltshire. My mum came along as an extra helper/chaperone to assist out teacher. Longleat House is beautiful. Its an Elizabethan property, in large grounds. There is a safari park, so you can drive through and see all sorts of animals. During the tour of the house, mum noticed I appeared to be watching something that she couldn't see. She asked me what I was looking at and I said, 'The pretty lady in the grey dress'. Mum couldn't see anyone, and no-one had been walking through where I was looking. At the end of the tour, mum asked one of the tour guides about what I'd said. Evidently, some people have seen what they refer to as 'The Grey Lady'. It is thought to be a previous Lady Bath. Thankfully mum was, and still is, very accepting of strange things due to my nan 'seeing things' too. Therefore I was never made to feel 'different' or 'stupid'. That Lady I saw was as clear and real as everyone else in that room and I still remember her to this day, almost 50 years later. Hope you enjoyed.
@@TheTapeLibrary Hi, that would be fine. I've got a few more that I'll send to you on your email. Really enjoyed listening, new sub here, best regards from chilly N Wales.
Oh more stories from you will be great. Good idea to share with us. I think in this day and age many more people are starting to believe in things they have not seen.
I’m a newbie to your channel but I’m loving the stories you have to tell. I’m a 50 something female in UK and have always had experiences as does my mum and it’s very apparent that so does my daughter. It’s never been frightening to me either, I just feel quite humbled to be able to see or feel what I have. I first saw an apparition of an older gentleman when I was 18 and on my way home from my parents. I was riding my bike with my then boyfriend when we both saw the man in the phone box further up the road. We could see him clearly as there was a light aluminating him inside the phone box. Dressed in a grey suit, he had lots of white hair and a full white beard. Being late at night we crossed over the road in case he was drunk or something and he then just disappeared in front of our eyes. At that moment I remember just feeling so overwhelmed and new instantly that we had just witnessed a ghost. Move forward 33 years and me and my family weirdly bought a house on the same very road, although the phone box has long gone but the patch of grass it stood on is still there. That was my only sighting but over the years have felt spirits touch me and heard them walking like the one who at the time I thought was my daughter. When about 4 she used to creep into my bedroom in a morning, although I always knew she was there, and then she would jump on me to supposedly wake me up. I always let her think she had surprised me but then one morning, as usual, I heard her come in the bedroom but I thought I would turn round quick and say “boo” in a playful way but when I did, she wasn’t there….the same girl pulled on my cardigan at the back whilst I was stood in the kitchen one night. I don’t know how I knew it was a little girl, I just did. It was also around the same time was when my daughter started to have a man talking to her and touching her head in a protective manner. It doesnt seem to matter where we’ve lived either, they are always with us. My daughter and even my husband have witnessed people going past doorways in our most recent home and my daughter has heard, who she thought was me, saying her name as she passed my bedroom door. I wasn’t home at the time! Nothing we have ever experienced has ever been negative though so we don’t get scared by any means, like I said before, I feel humbled to be able to experience these things. Let’s face it, most ghosts were only living people once and they weren’t scary then so why should they be in spirit 😃. Keep up the great work and I shall go back to binging on yr videos. Happy New Year to everyone 🎉
Maybe your family has a gift for seeing them. I’m in the states and never saw any, but I’m sure if you came here, you’d see some. You got the gift. You’re very perceptive along with the gift of seeing them. Now, for the million dollar question, what the hell are these people doing making phone calls when they should be in heaven? That’s where I’d want to be!

I didn't leave my apartment for probably 6 months one time. I forgot how to socialize. I started to have severe anxiety and lose track of time, days, what month it was. Staying up till 4 am, seeing things and debating with myself. The lighthouse can drive you mad but i still think back fondly of the solitude..

I've only heard the Rock Island story one other place and it gives me chills! I can't go camping without my dogs, can't imagine not only camping by myself but hearing a bunch of noises in the woods and deciding to stay another day
Also- this is my neck of the woods- near the Potawatomi - I have respectfully visited a mass grave they have marked there and soon plan to visit what is marked as the sight of their Trail of Death which is pretty close to where I live.
Love to see you covering a story from my home state of Wisconsin! I just discovered your channel about a week ago, and it is my new favorite. I have been plowing through these episodes! Keep up the good, entertaining, well researched work!
I enjoyed that first story about Rock Island. I also appreciate the fact that you refrained from inserting artificial sounds (which I think, like cheap jump-scares, disrupts the atmosphere and flow of ghost stories), and instead allowed listeners to use their imagination as to what the main character is hearing.
So happy this popped up my page. Watched the first video, and, I was hooked! Subscribed, and, now binge watching. Love the stories and the voice is awesome!
Waking up in the middle of the night, with a sense of dread, the night after being spooked by weird noises is pretty easy to explain too. A tired brain can cause trippy things to happen to you, especially when you're isolated and alone. He probably subconsciously just thought "ah shit I fell asleep what if its out there again" and caused himself to go into shock. The guy at the end of the story could've probably sensed his uneasy vibes and took the piss a little. Still a cool story that gave me goosebumps. Love a cult connection.
It's super interesting to hear how other folks not from WI pronounce Potawatomi! I've always heard it "pot-ah-WAH-tuh-mee," but since it's a native word, I'm not sure if the way I've heard it is correct anyways. Great video!! I just found this channel and I've been watching through them in the morning getting ready for work, or relaxing at home/cleaning up. Thank you for making these!!
Good channel dude👌 reminds of when i was ypung and would enjoy ghost storys and paranormal tales. The mind always paints the best pictures 💯 ps lake michigan has always been a paranormal hot spot 👊
I would've loved to have run a lighthouse. Edit: Man I love your style of storytelling! Maybe you and MrBallen, or The Why Files, could do a collab. You channel is getting ready to hit big! I watched those two before they got big, but it only took a year or so for their channels to really take off. I believe yours will as well.
Thank you! Haha, I don't think the channel will grow quite that big but I'm content with making my own little strange videos as long as people are still enjoying them :)
OP in story two: Mom, can we get Randonautica? Mom: We have Randonautica at home. Randonautica at home: literally just that guy's best friend in a trance state lmao
First of all, I'm a believer, but a skeptic at the same time. I had a paranormal experience, at least I think? I had an encounter with a doppleganger of my mom one night, who I thought was in the chair that at the time my mom would go to sleep in sometimes. I was heading up to bed at 2 or 3 in the morning and my mom was in the chair and seemed to be sleeping, it was dark and I could really just see vaguely that it was who I assumed to be my mom(who else would it be?). I didn't say anything but tried to walk by without making noise. About an hour later, I went back to get a snack and when I walked passed the chair, I was surprised to see she wasn't there and then I checked to see if she was in the bathroom around the corner or in the kitchen, but no one was there. The next morning, I asked my mom, "were you in your chair last night?" and explained how I saw her at one point and then she was gone when I went for my snack. She was puzzled and said "no, I don't think so". Everytime I think of this experience I wonder what I saw that night. It still creeps me out alot because this house is very old and may have some crazy unknown history or something and I have more of a sixth sense than anyone I know that I'm aware of. This house feels weird at 2 or 3 in the morning and or it might just be that it's late at night? Thought it would be fun to hear this story read out loud on a yt channel. I'll never forget this experience. Was it a doppleganger or something else?
I live in the UK, I have a holiday home in the West Coast of Scotland. The A75 road from Gretna has a long history of hauntings, particularly a covered bus stop/ shelter on the estate. Very long history of sightings. Also Chingle Hall, Lancashire. Good feeling in the hall, but oh my! The barn feels horrible! X
Your voice is so good for telling these stories because it is largely monotone, not a lot of variation in volume or emphasis. While this may not be a good quality for, say, a newsreader, it is an excellent quality for ghost story telling.
@@TheTapeLibrarywell shoot now I have to go in my room turn off the light and light a couple of candles. Hopefully if I have to go to the bathroom I do not trip over my dog!
I never had a paranormal experience of any kind,in day time I hope for 1, then at night I listen to your stories and some other people I like n before you know it I'm laying with my dog with some lights on praying my phone doesn't ring or a knock on my door
I live in WI and go to Door Countu every year and never knew this!! The research you must have done to make this story is so impressive. Also, be careful of those whistles/screeches. If you saw something: you didn't. If you hear something: you didn't.
WOW! The rock island one was the absolute best! the way you cut off all music and sound! holy crap! It felt like I had that same demon standing right over my bed!
Glad you appreciated the audio cut, not going to lie I had a similar feeling while editing it. Such a disturbing moment, especially when you consider it's all just what they are feeling and not seeing. Easily one of my favourite stories I've been able to share! I think it helps that the story is by someone who clearly has a talent for writing.
native Wisconsinite here, been to Rock Island many times. Description is a little confusing to me as the sites don't necessarily work like that, but whatever its a ghost story lol. All in all, an AMAZING place (and yes, there is a creepy lighthouse). Totally worth the trip.
I had that random feeling of intense fear thing happen to me too, only I was awake watching UA-cam and suddenly I was curled up in a ball in the corner screaming. I didnt see or hear anything I just felt like there was something unfathomably evil coming and reacted on an instinctual level. I wonder about that night constantly, Nothing I've ever experienced before holds a candle to what I felt then, it was fear that transcended the fear of death.. What could of scared me that badly?
Dude, I just found you and you’re AWESOME. Love this. You’re a great narrator. Feels like you’re right here with me or….I just went camping with you on Rock Island 😮 New subscriber from Los Angeles California ❤
Garag darnit.. I made a cold drink.. im sorry I'll go so people watching this don't get distracted by my hideous & unwanted beverage . Good day mah lord
I've always been able to see ghosts, I remember the first time I was very young, I had just recovered or rather was recovering from German measles and my great nana (she was a great aunt but we called her nana) was living abroad and we lived about 300 miles away, I was in bed and was surprised to see my elderly and frail nana sat on the bottom of my bed, I was in the top bunk, I laughed at her and told her she would get stuck and we chatted. Then the phone rang, it was an old vintage rotary and very loud and my great nana said "that's for me, I've got to go now. Be a good girl" and she disappeared, then 5 minutes later my mum came upstairs and told me and my brother my great nana had died, except I didn't understand because I had literally just been talking to her, turns out she had been dead for at least an hour at that point. Ever since then I've seen ghosts my entire life in every house we lived in, even now in my current house. They're never bad, I have only had one scary experience but it wasn't a bad ghost or anything. I grew up in foster care and in 2002, xmas eve, I was in a foster home in bed. I was asleep and then suddenly I woke up and had this overwhelming fear that if I opened my eyes there would be something scary in front of my face and I was just terrified and could not bring myself to open my eyes, I cried myself back to sleep, it was awful, I woke up xmas morning to my foster mum waking me up amd telling me that at midnight my mum and dad were doing the very last bits of xmas shopping at the 24 hour supermarket and my dad collapsed in the car park and technically died. He was revived in the ambulance and then proceeded to "die" in the ambulance and twice more during emergency surgery. 4 years later I was living in a kids home and I had the same overwhelming feeling, it scared me so much I had to open my curtains, the door to my bedroom and turned on all the lights until it passed. I was in tears that if I closed my eyes or turned the lights off the "something" would be there and then after an hour one of the staff workers that stayed overnight with us kids in the home (this is in the uk) came to me and told me that my dad had died, for good this time, during what was supposed to be routine correction surgery after 4 years of botched surgeries to fix the hernia and colostomy he ended up with from 2002 diverticulitis and bowel cancer. I have only experienced that feeling once more since I was a teen and that was 2 years ago when my hubby's grandmother nearly died from UTI complications (elder abuse and her being too lazy to clean herself properly) I hope to never experience that feeling again, I hate it. I LOVE all things horror, true crime and paranormal and I absolutely DO NOT scare easy, I was 5 when I watched the exorcist with my step grandad and thought it was a comedy but that feeling, it SCARES me and I do not say that easy. Thankfully all my ghost experiences have been pretty chill, my best friends haunted house made me very uneasy as the ghost there isn't very nice but its not evil. My own house has 3 ghosts, a child (boy, we think) who loved playing with my niblings and their toys when they lived with me and now they've moved put we don't see the child much anymore but I'm OK with that as a childfree woman lol Then there's the grumpy old man who lives in the very small back bedroom that's now the cats bedroom much to his chagrin 😂 he's nice enough, just bangs on the floor sometimes and makes the room cold when he feels ignored And an old woman who HATES and I mean HATES change 😅 everytime we decorate or move furniture or anything like that she gets moody AF and throws things or moves them and they get temporarily "lost" for a few days 😂 then there's my pets, I have a real cat - Frankenstein, a 4 year old maine coon - and we have the ghost cats - my pets that passed in the house, garfield who was a 26 year old maine coon Norwegian forest cat mix and a great big orange ball who was my baby, eli the 10 year old black bombay my neighbours k1ll3d out of spite over a parking space ( I WISH I was joking) who I raised by hand from being weeks old, kaspar who was a 1 year old maine coon my sister "accidentally" k1ll3d by letting him out of the house and the reason she and my niblings moved out (she wanted him I said no because he was a foster I wanted to adopt as I fostered cats at that time and I swear she did it out of spite) and then my husbands cat from childhood who passed away in 2022 after his mother (narcissist) left lulu outside to d13 when she got a new kitten despite knowing lulu hated other cats and was old and wouldn't live in the house with a new cat (she actually admitted that she knew lulu would never go back in the house and would probably d13 outside as we had a really cold winter that year) then there's my whippet failed foster, Bella, who had a congenital heart defect we didn't know about who passed in her sleep before her 2nd birthday, my old rescue girls coco the malamute and indie the staffy who both died from cancer, Sammy the rescue American bulldog who had stomach issues his previous owners never told me about (he was an accidental rescue) and mojo my baby chihuahua who died before his 1st birthday from a heart problem we didn't know about as he was also an accidental rescue. My house is never quiet lol if it's not my 4 year old maine coon running riot it's the ghosts and ig it's not the human ghosts it's the animal ones lol many, many times especially in the winter I will feel a cat or dog climb on my bed and lay at my feet 😊 I always know its a ghost pet too as I'm actually allergic to cats and dogs so my bedroom door is always shut to keep my living cat out of there so I can breathe while I sleep lol also yes, I am romanichal but no, I don't think that is what gives me my ability (I can also predict things in my dreams like I kniw when someone will die or get sick and I'm able to predict baby genders like my dad could which is very interesting and a story for another day - my dad and the 150 babies he correctly gendered, 4 of them without knowing they were even pregnant and 2 if them overseas) my great, great aunt who is still alive (yes we do think she's a vampire) would disagree and say its my romanichal blood but I don't buy into stereotypes
I had two years of having evil, horrific nightmares every night. I woke up one morning to a demon, pixilated looking, standing over me. I cleansed my house and no more demon. Of course this is in a nutshell. I many other experiences including a close UFO encounter and other strange experiences including prophetic dreams.
Just discovered Tape Library about a month or so ago. I love it ! Qualify of narration is exceptional & may I kindly suggest you call it Tape Library with ( fill in blank ; your name first & last ) you deserve not only accolades but name brand recognition ! 🎉 Warmest regards Marc
Number 1 really scared me. I didn't think it was gonna be that good. That's what I get for judging. Nonetheless, I subscribed and have not been disappointed. Only scared!
Thank you for being honest and upfront. Ive heard so much about FEMA not being in the mnts and much more. I live in NC and have lots of long term connections in many parts of the mnts. I dont trust our govt either. But my friends told me they had not only seen FEMA but had been contacted to fill out paperwork. Some got the $750 deposited pretty quick. One friend said she had Military plans flying over her house constantly. These are people who also dont trust the govt. Ill say this, none of my friends mentioned anything about politics or politicians. No one has anyone try to take their land either
Images of some wild looking, wide eyed man who hasn’t had his hair or beard cut in three years lurching around in wet weather gear and trying to talk to unsuspecting women.
Every lighthouse i have ever been in have the worst uncomfortable feeling in them. I think the way energy travels thru them has a lot to do with it. There is just a feeling like someone is over ur shoulder 24/7 in them.
yes I believe in the paranormal, I'm in the USA, and I've had experiences. In a cemetery in CT. I came back to my car and all of the windows were down; before I had left the car, I had closed all of the windows. In the same area, I was taking a photo of a headstone, with my phone, when I saw a colorful display of an amorphous shape. I lowered my phone and just looked plainly at the same area and saw nothing unusual. Then I raised my phone and saw the colorful, amorphous shape. I left right then but discovered afterwards that my camera wasn't working properly and I ended up getting a new phone.
Another occurrence, I was in a church for a memorial service. We were singing and all of a sudden I couldn't sing any words, all that would come out of my mouth was a high pitched sound. I couldn't form any words. I didn't have control over my own voice. People nearby were looking at me, thinking I was doing it on purpose. I never stepped foot into that church again. And I did have one other car window experience; I was sitting in a Burger King parking lot and the right rear window rolled down. That was all that happened. Love your channel and how it's done.
That last one remind me of a story of a spirit in a shared space between me, dad and some friends. One day me and another friend could sense the energy shift in dads photo studio and the third person, who we no longer consider a friend, sensed it too. Only difference was, she got the creeps from it and thought it had it out for her. But the spirit didn't mind me or my friend as we didn't bother it. But she couldn't leave it alone and tried different things to get rid off it which just made the energy more annoyed with her and it really felt like the energy was messing with her because she tried to mess with it and since nothing she did worked, the energy clearly got a kick out of messing with her. It did not like her at all and in hind sight, we should have listened to that spirit because she was some serious bad news.
Totally normal to get easily frightened when camping on your own.. particularly at night.. I always get hyper sensitive to noises when I camp on my own..
I'm potawatomi. It's nice to hear my tribe's name every now and then. We have a rich history, if any history buffs are interested.
I most definitely am.

I’d have been packing up at dawn and waiting to get the next ferry out.
Listening to this one today to get me through my work day❤
Also- this is my neck of the woods- near the Potawatomi - I have respectfully visited a mass grave they have marked there and soon plan to visit what is marked as the sight of their Trail of Death which is pretty close to where I live.
Love to see you covering a story from my home state of Wisconsin! I just discovered your channel about a week ago, and it is my new favorite. I have been plowing through these episodes! Keep up the good, entertaining, well researched work!
I enjoyed that first story about Rock Island. I also appreciate the fact that you refrained from inserting artificial sounds (which I think, like cheap jump-scares, disrupts the atmosphere and flow of ghost stories), and instead allowed listeners to use their imagination as to what the main character is hearing.
Plot twist: only a demon drinks cold instant coffee.
😂❤😂
Damn, that's how my sister drinks hers. With a pen I'll write small crosses on the i and l and t just in case your right.
Loving it.💫
It being your ability to convey feeling along with depth of experience .
I respect this .
Thank you .💫
Can't believe how creepy this tale was, loved it!
One of my favourites I've had the pleasure of narrating.
So happy this popped up my page. Watched the first video, and, I was hooked! Subscribed, and, now binge watching. Love the stories and the voice is awesome!
Welcome aboard!
Get hooked on this and you won't have to go to rehab.
That was scary!! I got scared when I listened to it!!
wild boar are a little spooky to hear at night for sure
That's what occurred to me too. Wolves are generally afraid of humans but wild boar will mess you up.
Waking up in the middle of the night, with a sense of dread, the night after being spooked by weird noises is pretty easy to explain too. A tired brain can cause trippy things to happen to you, especially when you're isolated and alone. He probably subconsciously just thought "ah shit I fell asleep what if its out there again" and caused himself to go into shock. The guy at the end of the story could've probably sensed his uneasy vibes and took the piss a little. Still a cool story that gave me goosebumps. Love a cult connection.
What you gonna do with mushy peas on your knee caps?
Congrats on hitting 100k subs my man. Here's to another 100k!
Appreciate it!
It's super interesting to hear how other folks not from WI pronounce Potawatomi! I've always heard it "pot-ah-WAH-tuh-mee," but since it's a native word, I'm not sure if the way I've heard it is correct anyways. Great video!! I just found this channel and I've been watching through them in the morning getting ready for work, or relaxing at home/cleaning up. Thank you for making these!!
I love his channel too
Good channel dude👌 reminds of when i was ypung and would enjoy ghost storys and paranormal tales. The mind always paints the best pictures 💯 ps lake michigan has always been a paranormal hot spot 👊
Glad you enjoyed it. That's exactly the nostalgic memory of my own that I am trying to recreate here.
Pretty amazing how cocky and brave that guy from the second story was. Dang , he seemed so cocky and brave.
Yes, very cocky and brave
Quite cocky and brave
I would've loved to have run a lighthouse.
Edit: Man I love your style of storytelling! Maybe you and MrBallen, or The Why Files, could do a collab. You channel is getting ready to hit big! I watched those two before they got big, but it only took a year or so for their channels to really take off. I believe yours will as well.
Thank you! Haha, I don't think the channel will grow quite that big but I'm content with making my own little strange videos as long as people are still enjoying them :)
I just found you and this has been quite enjoyable! Im watching as many as I can!
Love to hear it! Hope you are enjoying the other videos
OP in story two: Mom, can we get Randonautica?
Mom: We have Randonautica at home.
Randonautica at home: literally just that guy's best friend in a trance state lmao
You’re a super underrated Chanel
As I listened in an altered state I saw the reverse fire first. I was transfixed , had to listen twice . Perfect effect 😵💫.
love that you enjoyed that!
That reverse fire is perfect.
Rock Island was one of the best you have read.
I'm obsessed with this story. Literally can't stop thinking about it!
New subscriber here 😁 Really enjoying your narration. Getting me through a challenging day.👏 thank you!!
Plot twist: Turns out the guy was a hardcore Dark Souls fan and by Keeper of The Flame he meant the characters in the videogame haha
Loved Rock Island story!
Great tale for a campfire. . . . .
The mind and emotions, crazy.
First of all, I'm a believer, but a skeptic at the same time. I had a paranormal experience, at least I think? I had an encounter with a doppleganger of my mom one night, who I thought was in the chair that at the time my mom would go to sleep in sometimes. I was heading up to bed at 2 or 3 in the morning and my mom was in the chair and seemed to be sleeping, it was dark and I could really just see vaguely that it was who I assumed to be my mom(who else would it be?). I didn't say anything but tried to walk by without making noise. About an hour later, I went back to get a snack and when I walked passed the chair, I was surprised to see she wasn't there and then I checked to see if she was in the bathroom around the corner or in the kitchen, but no one was there. The next morning, I asked my mom, "were you in your chair last night?" and explained how I saw her at one point and then she was gone when I went for my snack. She was puzzled and said "no, I don't think so". Everytime I think of this experience I wonder what I saw that night. It still creeps me out alot because this house is very old and may have some crazy unknown history or something and I have more of a sixth sense than anyone I know that I'm aware of. This house feels weird at 2 or 3 in the morning and or it might just be that it's late at night? Thought it would be fun to hear this story read out loud on a yt channel. I'll never forget this experience. Was it a doppleganger or something else?
Now That's scary! 😳
I live in the UK, I have a holiday home in the West Coast of Scotland. The A75 road from Gretna has a long history of hauntings, particularly a covered bus stop/ shelter on the estate. Very long history of sightings. Also Chingle Hall, Lancashire. Good feeling in the hall, but oh my! The barn feels horrible! X
Wonder what happened there...
Your voice is so good for telling these stories because it is largely monotone, not a lot of variation in volume or emphasis. While this may not be a good quality for, say, a newsreader, it is an excellent quality for ghost story telling.
Thank you! I try to picture myself sat in a dark candle lit room with just a couple of people when I read, that's the kind of vibe I'm going for.
@@TheTapeLibrarywell shoot now I have to go in my room turn off the light and light a couple of candles. Hopefully if I have to go to the bathroom I do not trip over my dog!
Great stories, great storytelling .
@@TheTapeLibraryYou are succeeding at that.
I never had a paranormal experience of any kind,in day time I hope for 1, then at night I listen to your stories and some other people I like n before you know it I'm laying with my dog with some lights on praying my phone doesn't ring or a knock on my door
GOOOOOOOD
Also, give your dog a head scratch from me
This is a good story I like it
I live in WI and go to Door Countu every year and never knew this!! The research you must have done to make this story is so impressive.
Also, be careful of those whistles/screeches. If you saw something: you didn't. If you hear something: you didn't.
Taking a breath after screaming over and over "I can't breath" ... I could NOT with people like that!!
WOW! The rock island one was the absolute best! the way you cut off all music and sound! holy crap! It felt like I had that same demon standing right over my bed!
Glad you appreciated the audio cut, not going to lie I had a similar feeling while editing it. Such a disturbing moment, especially when you consider it's all just what they are feeling and not seeing. Easily one of my favourite stories I've been able to share! I think it helps that the story is by someone who clearly has a talent for writing.
What makes you think you didn't?
😳
@@charlestaylor253😂😳
native Wisconsinite here, been to Rock Island many times. Description is a little confusing to me as the sites don't necessarily work like that, but whatever its a ghost story lol. All in all, an AMAZING place (and yes, there is a creepy lighthouse). Totally worth the trip.
It sounds beautiful.
I had that random feeling of intense fear thing happen to me too, only I was awake watching UA-cam and suddenly I was curled up in a ball in the corner screaming. I didnt see or hear anything I just felt like there was something unfathomably evil coming and reacted on an instinctual level. I wonder about that night constantly, Nothing I've ever experienced before holds a candle to what I felt then, it was fear that transcended the fear of death.. What could of scared me that badly?
My guess is that it's the devil.
Completed in the last few weeks.
Thanks for your creation to reveal these stories.
Dude, I just found you and you’re AWESOME. Love this. You’re a great narrator. Feels like you’re right here with me or….I just went camping with you on Rock Island 😮
New subscriber from Los Angeles California ❤
Maybe you did...and maybe I AM
@@TheTapeLibrary Well, I have done a lot of camping. If you’re here, could you please make coffee 😘
Hey LA!
Garag darnit.. I made a cold drink.. im sorry I'll go so people watching this don't get distracted by my hideous & unwanted beverage
. Good day mah lord
Just wait for it to warm up a bit and you can stay
The story on 'Ghost Tales 22h' gave me a similar chill like this one
love it
Thank you for the stories 🙂
Awesome work
Appreciate it :)
Love your channels! Thank you :)
A correction for the pronunciation of the Potawatomi. It is: pot-uh-WATT-uh-me
I kept thinking he was saying squirrel noise.
Awesome 👍
I enjoyed your narration. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I've always been able to see ghosts, I remember the first time I was very young, I had just recovered or rather was recovering from German measles and my great nana (she was a great aunt but we called her nana) was living abroad and we lived about 300 miles away, I was in bed and was surprised to see my elderly and frail nana sat on the bottom of my bed, I was in the top bunk, I laughed at her and told her she would get stuck and we chatted. Then the phone rang, it was an old vintage rotary and very loud and my great nana said "that's for me, I've got to go now. Be a good girl" and she disappeared, then 5 minutes later my mum came upstairs and told me and my brother my great nana had died, except I didn't understand because I had literally just been talking to her, turns out she had been dead for at least an hour at that point. Ever since then I've seen ghosts my entire life in every house we lived in, even now in my current house. They're never bad, I have only had one scary experience but it wasn't a bad ghost or anything. I grew up in foster care and in 2002, xmas eve, I was in a foster home in bed. I was asleep and then suddenly I woke up and had this overwhelming fear that if I opened my eyes there would be something scary in front of my face and I was just terrified and could not bring myself to open my eyes, I cried myself back to sleep, it was awful, I woke up xmas morning to my foster mum waking me up amd telling me that at midnight my mum and dad were doing the very last bits of xmas shopping at the 24 hour supermarket and my dad collapsed in the car park and technically died. He was revived in the ambulance and then proceeded to "die" in the ambulance and twice more during emergency surgery. 4 years later I was living in a kids home and I had the same overwhelming feeling, it scared me so much I had to open my curtains, the door to my bedroom and turned on all the lights until it passed. I was in tears that if I closed my eyes or turned the lights off the "something" would be there and then after an hour one of the staff workers that stayed overnight with us kids in the home (this is in the uk) came to me and told me that my dad had died, for good this time, during what was supposed to be routine correction surgery after 4 years of botched surgeries to fix the hernia and colostomy he ended up with from 2002 diverticulitis and bowel cancer. I have only experienced that feeling once more since I was a teen and that was 2 years ago when my hubby's grandmother nearly died from UTI complications (elder abuse and her being too lazy to clean herself properly) I hope to never experience that feeling again, I hate it. I LOVE all things horror, true crime and paranormal and I absolutely DO NOT scare easy, I was 5 when I watched the exorcist with my step grandad and thought it was a comedy but that feeling, it SCARES me and I do not say that easy.
Thankfully all my ghost experiences have been pretty chill, my best friends haunted house made me very uneasy as the ghost there isn't very nice but its not evil. My own house has 3 ghosts, a child (boy, we think) who loved playing with my niblings and their toys when they lived with me and now they've moved put we don't see the child much anymore but I'm OK with that as a childfree woman lol
Then there's the grumpy old man who lives in the very small back bedroom that's now the cats bedroom much to his chagrin 😂 he's nice enough, just bangs on the floor sometimes and makes the room cold when he feels ignored
And an old woman who HATES and I mean HATES change 😅 everytime we decorate or move furniture or anything like that she gets moody AF and throws things or moves them and they get temporarily "lost" for a few days 😂 then there's my pets, I have a real cat - Frankenstein, a 4 year old maine coon - and we have the ghost cats - my pets that passed in the house, garfield who was a 26 year old maine coon Norwegian forest cat mix and a great big orange ball who was my baby, eli the 10 year old black bombay my neighbours k1ll3d out of spite over a parking space ( I WISH I was joking) who I raised by hand from being weeks old, kaspar who was a 1 year old maine coon my sister "accidentally" k1ll3d by letting him out of the house and the reason she and my niblings moved out (she wanted him I said no because he was a foster I wanted to adopt as I fostered cats at that time and I swear she did it out of spite) and then my husbands cat from childhood who passed away in 2022 after his mother (narcissist) left lulu outside to d13 when she got a new kitten despite knowing lulu hated other cats and was old and wouldn't live in the house with a new cat (she actually admitted that she knew lulu would never go back in the house and would probably d13 outside as we had a really cold winter that year) then there's my whippet failed foster, Bella, who had a congenital heart defect we didn't know about who passed in her sleep before her 2nd birthday, my old rescue girls coco the malamute and indie the staffy who both died from cancer, Sammy the rescue American bulldog who had stomach issues his previous owners never told me about (he was an accidental rescue) and mojo my baby chihuahua who died before his 1st birthday from a heart problem we didn't know about as he was also an accidental rescue.
My house is never quiet lol if it's not my 4 year old maine coon running riot it's the ghosts and ig it's not the human ghosts it's the animal ones lol many, many times especially in the winter I will feel a cat or dog climb on my bed and lay at my feet 😊 I always know its a ghost pet too as I'm actually allergic to cats and dogs so my bedroom door is always shut to keep my living cat out of there so I can breathe while I sleep lol also yes, I am romanichal but no, I don't think that is what gives me my ability (I can also predict things in my dreams like I kniw when someone will die or get sick and I'm able to predict baby genders like my dad could which is very interesting and a story for another day - my dad and the 150 babies he correctly gendered, 4 of them without knowing they were even pregnant and 2 if them overseas) my great, great aunt who is still alive (yes we do think she's a vampire) would disagree and say its my romanichal blood but I don't buy into stereotypes
First story was so so good 👌🏼
Just found and subscribed! Love this channel. Great work.
I really enjoy these stories. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Nice!
IWILL NEVER STOP LISTENING TO YOU!!!!!! Linda, CT
Wouldn't mind checking that site out.
I’m seeing in the New Year listening to videos on this channel. The campground story in this video was creepy as heck.
Oh HELL YEAH...LETS GO
I actually live pretty close to there. A little over an hours ride to the tip of Door County. I think I am going to go there this summer.
Okay I'm jealous now
I'm really enjoying the stories and the way you tell them.
Outstanding video thanks 😎👍
Thanks for watching Raziel
@@TheTapeLibrary My pleasure 😎
I had two years of having evil, horrific nightmares every night. I woke up one morning to a demon, pixilated looking, standing over me. I cleansed my house and no more demon. Of course this is in a nutshell. I many other experiences including a close UFO encounter and other strange experiences including prophetic dreams.
I love these videos with viewer stories ❤
Just discovered Tape Library about a month or so ago. I love it ! Qualify of narration is exceptional & may I kindly suggest you call it Tape Library with ( fill in blank ; your name first & last ) you deserve not only accolades but name brand recognition ! 🎉 Warmest regards Marc
I like being Mr Library haha but thanks for watching
Love ur stories
This is another wonderful video that I found that I'm going to listen to while going to sleep.
You can sleep after this?
Years alone on an island, that's a good job for me. Really.
I think I could do it too
Number 1 really scared me. I didn't think it was gonna be that good. That's what I get for judging. Nonetheless, I subscribed and have not been disappointed. Only scared!
Thank you for being honest and upfront. Ive heard so much about FEMA not being in the mnts and much more. I live in NC and have lots of long term connections in many parts of the mnts. I dont trust our govt either. But my friends told me they had not only seen FEMA but had been contacted to fill out paperwork. Some got the $750 deposited pretty quick. One friend said she had Military plans flying over her house constantly. These are people who also dont trust the govt. Ill say this, none of my friends mentioned anything about politics or politicians. No one has anyone try to take their land either
Ah yes, these are certainly the most things to have ever happened! And one of them definitely isn't just a retelling of Sleepy Hollow 😮
Love your creap stories
Superb Job nailed this one with lighthouse I’ll subscribe 😂
The campfire scene of the fire exhaling and inhaling weirds me out
Haha that seems to have made a few people uncomfortable for some reason
@@TheTapeLibrarythe amount of times I questioned what I was seeing was crazy lol. Good job!
Great content. New subscriber from North East, India
Welcome aboard!
I love this channel I just discovered.
I would have soiled my drawers multiple times on Rock Island, WI.
I'd have at least wet my pants
WISCONSIN MENTIONED🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🧀🌝🧀🌝🧀🌝🧀🌝🧀🌝🧀🌝👹💀
Find a wife in 25 days….lol 😂. Things were definitely different back then.
Yeah, I also found that incredibly odd. Especially after 8 years of isolation 😅
Images of some wild looking, wide eyed man who hasn’t had his hair or beard cut in three years lurching around in wet weather gear and trying to talk to unsuspecting women.
Marriage was more of an arrangement for mutual benefit as opposed to a love-affair, back in the day.
Lighthouse-keepers probably made a LOT of money
@@spiralrose i think it would have depended on where the lighthouse was and the size of it.
😂😂😂
Ha ha! Gonna listen to one of your play lists.
Towards 50,000 subscribers 2024, Godspeed!
There are things we cant see but are all around us.
You’re exactly right, demons are everywhere, they even go to church with some!
That dude he talked to on the island scares people off the island so he can get camping reservations and the island to himself.
Now that's thinking outside the box.
Every lighthouse i have ever been in have the worst uncomfortable feeling in them. I think the way energy travels thru them has a lot to do with it. There is just a feeling like someone is over ur shoulder 24/7 in them.
"I live in a pretty nice trailer park..." Nope, I don't believe you.
I saw one overlooking the ocean and also in Palm springs. Wouldn't turn that down.
yes I believe in the paranormal, I'm in the USA, and I've had experiences. In a cemetery in CT. I came back to my car and all of the windows were down; before I had left the car, I had closed all of the windows. In the same area, I was taking a photo of a headstone, with my phone, when I saw a colorful display of an amorphous shape. I lowered my phone and just looked plainly at the same area and saw nothing unusual. Then I raised my phone and saw the colorful, amorphous shape. I left right then but discovered afterwards that my camera wasn't working properly and I ended up getting a new phone.
Another occurrence, I was in a church for a memorial service. We were singing and all of a sudden I couldn't sing any words, all that would come out of my mouth was a high pitched sound. I couldn't form any words. I didn't have control over my own voice. People nearby were looking at me, thinking I was doing it on purpose. I never stepped foot into that church again. And I did have one other car window experience; I was sitting in a Burger King parking lot and the right rear window rolled down. That was all that happened. Love your channel and how it's done.
Rock island guy was fucking with him bro, and he fell for it hard
demons are fine but thallasophobia keeps me off boats.😂
Free brand new cases ? Why are they free ? They usually aren’t free ?
That last one remind me of a story of a spirit in a shared space between me, dad and some friends. One day me and another friend could sense the energy shift in dads photo studio and the third person, who we no longer consider a friend, sensed it too. Only difference was, she got the creeps from it and thought it had it out for her. But the spirit didn't mind me or my friend as we didn't bother it. But she couldn't leave it alone and tried different things to get rid off it which just made the energy more annoyed with her and it really felt like the energy was messing with her because she tried to mess with it and since nothing she did worked, the energy clearly got a kick out of messing with her. It did not like her at all and in hind sight, we should have listened to that spirit because she was some serious bad news.
What happened to third friend why do you not consider her a friend anymore
Totally normal to get easily frightened when camping on your own.. particularly at night..
I always get hyper sensitive to noises when I camp on my own..
I've been to those islands. Day trips only.
And you lived to tell the tale.
