The Tape Library - Archive of the Paranormal & the Unexplained

Step inside the chilling world of Ed and Lorraine Warren, the real-life paranormal investigators who inspired The Conjuring universe.

In this deep dive, we uncover the true stories behind their most famous cases. From Annabelle and the Perron family haunting, to Amityville, The Devil Made Me Do It, and beyond. But behind their rise as America’s most famous demonologists lies a darker, more complicated truth.

Who were Ed and Lorraine Warren really? What did they believe about demons and hauntings? And how much of their story was real? Or something far more human?

Join us as we trace the Warrens’ journey from their early investigations and lectures to the controversies that followed them in later years. Featuring documented cases, interview clips and narrative style retellings of their stories, this is the true story of the Warrens’ disturbing world.

This episode was released to Youtube a few months ago, however due to some technical issues I was never able to get it up on the podcast feed at the time. While I work on the next mammoth episode on The Warrens I thought some of you might enjoy this compilation of creepy stories that I was sent over the last year or so. There will be an ad break after the intro but after that the 4 hours of stories will play ad-free.

The door locks behind you. The fire flickers in the dim light. You’ve made it here—your one safe place amidst the horrors that wait beyond these walls. In this four-hour collection of true paranormal encounters, nine brand-new stories join eerie tales from Night Drive Paranormal, all told with the comforting stillness of a Resident Evil-style save room. No ad breaks. No sudden interruptions. Just you, the fire… and the whispers of those who have come before.

New episodes of Night Drive Paranormal are uploaded to The Tape Library podcast feed so no need to click anywhere. But if you want to check it out on YouTube you can find it here - https://www.youtube.com/@NightDriveParanormal

The Smurl Haunting is the real case behind The Conjuring 4, and its story is far stranger and darker than any film adaptation could capture.

The Sandown Clown case is one of the strangest paranormal mysteries ever recorded. In 1973, two children claimed to meet a bizarre entity on the Isle of Wight known as Sam the Clown.

Now, new information has come to light. A man says he has found the girl from the original encounter, and according to her, she had multiple encounters with Sam throughout her life — not just the one that made the case famous.

Join me as we explore this chilling new chapter in the Sandown Clown mystery.

In the winter of 1803, a quiet village west of London was haunted, at least, that’s what the locals believed. A ghost, cloaked in white, was said to rise from the graves in Hammersmith’s old churchyard, terrifying anyone who dared walk near after dark.

But when a man with a pistol tried to stop the so-called ghost, it ended in tragedy.

This is the true story of the Hammersmith Ghost Murder, one of Britain’s strangest legal cases. Where a ghost story led to real panic, a wrongful death, and a trial that changed the law.

Hidden deep in the forests of Japan lies a story too terrifying to ignore. The Himuro Mansion legend tells of ancient rituals, gruesome deaths, and a haunting so intense it supposedly inspired Fatal Frame. In this video, we explore the brutal history, walk through the mansion’s ghostly halls, and separate fact from fiction. Was Himuro Mansion ever real? Or is the legend even more disturbing than the truth?
