The Tape Library - Archive of the Paranormal & the Unexplained

Some paranormal encounters are terrifying. Others are so strange that it's difficult to know what to make of them.

In The Darkest Paranormal Cases, we're joined by an extraordinary collection of voices from across the paranormal community to explore the disturbing, the bizarre and the unexplained.

From the tragic history and reported hauntings of Manila's infamous Film Center to shadowy figures in Japan, mysterious entities that lure children, and encounters with things that shouldn't exist, these are stories that defy easy explanation. Along the way, we'll encounter a haunted clock, a flying poster, a giant Winnie the Pooh, the ghost of Freddie Mercury, and even a Bigfoot hunt that takes a turn into the paranormal.

Some are strange, some are unbelievable. But the phenomena doesn't always present itself in a straight forward manner. To close the episode, we share a listener's account of a stay at a French castle where an ordinary visit seemed to become something altogether more surreal. An experience that left her wondering whether she'd somehow crossed into an alternative reality.

Sometimes the most unsettling encounters happen in the most ordinary places.

In this episode of Night Drive Paranormal, we settle in with three true stories of strange and unexplained encounters. From a mysterious figure appearing where no one should be, to a terrifying presence at the foot of a teenager's bed and even an erm... disappearing basket holder.

So turn down the lights, get comfortable, and join me for some true paranormal stories to relax to.

As always, these stories were submitted by viewers and are presented as they were told to us. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there's something unsettling about hearing what other people claim to have experienced when they were alone in the dark.

Welcome to Night Drive Paranormal.

Leap Castle has been called the most haunted castle in the world.

For more than five hundred years, the ancient Irish fortress has been surrounded by stories of murder, betrayal and unexplained encounters. From the bloody feud of the O'Carroll family and the infamous murder said to have taken place at its altar, to ghostly children, the mysterious Red Lady and the terrifying entity known only as the Elemental.

Lake Ontario is one of the world's great inland seas. Beneath its dark waters lie hundreds of shipwrecks, while its shores have long been associated with strange lights, ghost stories, mysterious creatures and tales of sailors who never came home.

In this episode of The Tape Library, we explore the darker mysteries of Lake Ontario.

From the notorious Marysburgh Vortex and the disappearance of the crew of the Bavaria, to the legend of the burning ship Nilfred and the strange story of the Sprite, Lake Ontario has accumulated a remarkable collection of stories over centuries of maritime history.

We'll also investigate reports of strange lights over the lake, including a UFO sighting investigated by scientists from the University of Toronto, before turning to the lakes various monsters.

And finally, we return to the real tragedy of Moses Dulmage, a young sailor who was lost on Lake Ontario during a violent autumn storm. His death became entwined with one of the Great Lakes' most enduring pieces of maritime folklore: the Witch of November.

Some of these stories have plausible explanations. Others remain part of the folklore surrounding one of North America's most mysterious bodies of water.

Everywhere has a ghost story.
