Christmas and ghosts stories go hand in hand. So, tonight I bring you 21 terrifying true scary stories to keep you up all night (or fall asleep to, depending on how twisted you are). As well as an extra bonus of three of my favourite fictional horror stories that we've featured on The Tape Library this year.

Get comfortable and lay down in the darkness as the sounds of the crackling fire fill your ears and I tell you over 3 hours of scary stories.

This episode is a compilation of some of the most terrifying real life horror stories that people have submitted to The Tape Library archives over the last few months. If you’ve already listened to all of our entries into The Tape Library up until now then you might be familiar with some of these stories, but for those that enjoy the longer episodes to relax or fall asleep to, I thought these compilation episodes might be enjoyable.

Get comfortable around the campfire, I've got some scary stories to tell you. Relax as you listen to terrifying tales, true paranormal encounters and incidents that can't be explained.
