If you are a believer or a skeptic when it comes to this case, I want to hear from you either way. What do you make of this one? Do you have any theories on what exactly took place here?
An unclean spirit of sorts. I don't buy the common poltergeist explanation that it's simply wild psychic energy. We're dealing with a demon that somebody either let in or a spirit that had ties to the land. That second one is a hard thing to deal with as far as exorcising it but it's less likely to follow you if you move. It has dominion over location. "Cosmic Geography." If it's attached to a person and it's not dealt with properly it will stick to them like glue. They're nasty things. Parasites from the ass end of Tartarus. They love fear.
That's my take. I don't really believe in Poltergeists. Before I understood what I do about spiritual warfare I might've bought that it was an angry human spirit but that's so seldom the case. So rare compared to the demonic in these days when evil proliferates.
I want to say...I'm not going to plead the warren's case but at least they tried to help people and never charged them a cent. They might've sold a few books but they didn't get rich doing it and everybody's got to eat.
Weird how my comments keep getting deleted.
I am a true believer in haunted homes and in poltergeists. I don't think it's all down to the girl causing all the activity though. Her negative energy is probably what fed some entity and made it able to do all the things it did, in my opinion. I'm not an expert but I did live in a haunted house from the time I was eleven to just before my sixteenth birthday. We had several teenage and preteen kids living in the house, my dad was ill and couldn't work so we were very poor which caused a lot of stress for our family. I think we brought an entity with us when we moved from Florida to our new home. Just before we moved, my little brother and I were asleep when something woke me up trying to get through our window. It was hot so we had the window up. It had a screen over it to keep bugs out. It sounded like someone was taking off the screen. I looked but I couldn't see anything on this clear, moonlit night. I woke my brother because I was scared. We heard something come through the window and what sounded like heavy boots hitting the floor. Whatever this invisible thing was, it walked around my bed which was up against the wall and pulled it out from the wall. It was like it lay down between my bed and the wall. It became quiet. My brother and I huddled together with sheets over our heads and finally fell asleep. In the morning, my dad, uncle, and mom were loading a van with our furniture when both my brother and me tried to tell them what had happened. My parents said we were having a nightmare although how we could have had the same one puzzled my brother and myself. After we moved, our house was extremely haunted with phantom footsteps, things moving, something pulling sheets off the bed, making rackets like rusty nails being pulled from boards, something staring at you like it could kill you, you name it. It stayed that way until we moved to another house where there were strange things happening but nothing like the first house. As for the Warrens, I think they could have handled that case in a better way than they did, bringing in the media was an irresponsible move when they could have documented the activity in a private way and saved that family the harassment they suffered.

Great Comment! 😁👍
😂
The Warrens, eager to help and comfort the family, called every reporter they knew to give the family privacy during these horrifying events. Bless their kind hearts.
😂 right!
Ed never let an opportunity to gain fame and fortune get past him at the expense of others. A real slimy individual.
@@SciFiGrinchmore than likely were charlatans
@@gorillacookies3171 I'd like to say "everyone knows that", but there's surprisingly many people willing to ignore anything that goes against their wishful thinking.
lol the Warrens. As soon as they are mentioned in connection with any case then it loses some of its credibility for me
Officer: calls priest, but first informs him he’s “not drunk”
Me: ah the good ole days 🍺
Yeah I couldn't not include that little detail, loved it!
So true. I laughed at that part.
@@TheTapeLibrary that part at 15.00 about the pain of glass being broken on the inside but not the outside isn't that unusual with double glazing. A ball once hit my kitchen window and the inside glass broke but the the outside pane which was hit didn't. The guy who repaired it said that the inside pane is weaker and thinner than the outside. The impact is enough to make the air pressure between the sheets of glass to break the inner one. I only mention this because he initially thought it was neighbours doing this. Love this channel also.
I've watched too many horror films to ever answer 3 knocks on the door!

Facts or “I didn’t know we was having an earthquake that levitates furniture 17 inches off the ground”
They must have had some powerful air conditioning. 😂
Skyrim ahh reaction
This one was so sad and scary because of the poltergeist activity but also the personal family traumas they went through. I personally believe that when people go through painful emotions such as depression and grief, it can create an 'energy' of some kind. I enjoyed the video as always
Thanks for your thoughts! And for the support as always
There are entities beyond our understanding that are drawn to certain emotional frequencies, allegedly...
Absolutely true
I personally do think it's demonic but I seem to get deleted when I mention that. Maybe some are married to the idea of mindless energies, neither good or evil. Makes room for all sorts of deniability. But this sort of thing always comes down to spiritual warfare. Good vs evil.
I like to call it 'Sick Building Syndrome'.
The fact that you had a disclaimer about the Warrens is funny. Unfortunate that a disclaimer is needed, but funny.
For 5 yrs of my life, I lived in a small house that a man built for himself back in the 30s. The moment I walked in that place, I felt something that never went away. Strange and really scary things happened in that house that I had to face down if I was going to live there. So much that can't be explained, but always the overwhelming feeling that I was being watched.
I may have lived there by myself, but I was never alone in that house.
The idea of a cat saying jingle bells is hilarious to me
I would have responded with...."batman smells"...just to see what happened
A cat would say something random like that. Lol
None of this is true . lol . A cat singing. lol. One of the stories also was about the same cat on the porch talking to passerbys. Ridiculous
@@dianabailey5175 I know but it's pretty fuckin funny to think about
Guess the police can write it up for disturbing the peace
This is terrifying, I live on a 101 acre farm where a little girl was rumored to be murdered at in the 1960s. When I’m out walking alone with no noice I’ll get a very uneasy feeling and I’ll hear a little girl scream. The first time I heard the scream I saw a figure in the corner of my eye for a brief second I’m not sure if my mind was playing tricks on me or not. Immediately after a stick come shooting at my head. I still hear the screams when I’m alone or it’ll play in my mind
i was going to say that foxes scream like that, but they're not known for throwing sticks at people 😳
Follow it. But not alone and not unprepared.
No doubt you heard her. The mind plays tricks, tries to justify.
@@kmdkrohnI did night security on a housing development in the 90s+I'd never heard a fox before,it is chilling especially alone
Find her. She is still here. She needs to know that it's ok to move on. Reassure her that her work is done and that the light awaits to embrace her.
And that scream.... she is re-living her horror every time you hear it. Find her. Call out to her. Explain yourself and your innocent intentions. You will be able to talk her into the light and send her home. She is lonely and scared here. She may not even know that she has passed on.
It's a fun and boisterous day currently, filled with sewing, Barbie dolls and video games ✨...but tonight...when it's dark, cold... when everyone softly slumbers and everything is still...I'm grabbing a hot drink, a warm blanket, turning the lights down low, and watching THIS!! 🖤🖤🖤
Hope you enjoy!
@@TheTapeLibrary Thank you, sir! Always an enjoyable episode on your channel! 🖤
I think there was already something in the house that when The Goodins son died, fed on their pain. Then when Marcia arrived it fed on her frustrations at the restrictions imposed by her adopted parents.
This! I agree with this theory. Also, when Laura opened the door and no one was there.... I think she unknowing invited something into the home.
I agreed. Negative entities can lie dormant for years and years waiting for the right victim(s).
jaccu, I do not believe it is that simple, I believe "it" was attached to Marcia, maybe the "Grand Father", something evil came her way while in Canada.............
YUP Lorraine proved that 💯💯💯
@littlemizredhead Incomprehensible powerful inter-dimensional entity thats traveled across time and space sees a closed door and is like "drat!"
There is virtually always a child under 18 involved in this type of activity. I'm a natural skeptic but am open to worlds seen and unseen. I'll naturally look for rational explanations for "paranormal" events, but sometimes I haven't got a clue.
Very true.... Though some objects here are too heavy for a regular person
@@ethos9403What they are suggesting is that poltergeist activity is a psychic manifestation, rather than a haunting. Objects are being moved unconsciously by the children through telekinesis.
I hate when children are berated for how they act during an event like this, kids cant process whats going on the same way we do so they dont react properly. Its like bringing a kid to a funeral or any other sad event, they don't fully understand the weight of whats going on and will feel the need for attention with all the people around and the sad atmosphere. Demanding attention is another way for a child to cope with whats going on, and a child will perform a negative action if it garuntees attention, especially a child who feels neglected during a period of trauma. I'm no child psychiatrist but I've raised plenty of siblings and nephews/nieces and I've experienced the way they react to events like a supposed haunting or traumatic event, children want attention and sometimes they dont know how to convey that without seeming disrespectful or in the case of the supernatural repeating an event that recieved attention.
Anyways sorry for the rant, great video!
I agree
I have nothing but pity for the poor Girl in this Story
Doctor, great thoughts. :)
I agree. That poor child was taken from her community and given to grieving parents. Then the weird stuff started to happen, she was surrounded by panicky adults and had to act out to even get an adult to notice her. So certainly some of the activity was generated by her.
However, I think the possibility that the house sat on unstable ground should have been addressed at the time. Obviously, there wasn't the seismographic etc equipment back then that's available today but there could have been clues that there was shifting in the ground deeper under the house was destabilised due to natural causes or old legal or illegal mining.
Ground shifting could have released natural gases that seeped upwards over time and caused hallucinations. The moving furniture was very likely not moving as violently as witnesses perceived but any visible shifting, together w hallucinations, would have sent most people (let alone still grieving parents) into a tailspin of fear and horror.
As for that poor child, who came blame her for bolting when she turned 19? That house was filled with bad memories for her. Going back to her roots, even if she didn't return to her parents, would be a natural thing for a teenager to do, even without the shipstorm of the alleged haunting. I hope her short life held as much peace and comfort as possible. May she rest in peace.
I remember this I grew up in the next town over in Stratford my uncle was a Bridgeport police officer at the time. Anyway remember my aunt giving him a crucifix and the rosary where around his neck now remember them talking about the cat that talked thank you for sharing this video it has brought back actually good memories of my aunt and uncle.
I lived down the street from that house; it’s on the north end, but I’m pretty familiar with Stratford too,I used to work for a company called Efficiency Inc. on Lupes drive. It is a small world!
@@trevisfreeman9064I live in a completely different part of the world and have never heard of both your cities, this case and everything else you were talking about. It's a big big world 😂❤
Yup the police swore the cat talked, tables and chairs floated, they heard disembodied voices.
@@tictactoehuhn6 umm ok (not exactly sure why you even bothered commenting if you have no clue what the rest of us are talking about or have no interest in), but your right it is a big world;much of which I’ve seen & continue traveling to see. I appreciate your astute observation of the obvious, but since you don’t actually have anything to contribute to this conversation, maybe you should stick to commenting on things on the side of world you live in.(you may find it easier to converse about content you do know or care about). A little food for thought next time you want to randomly comment on someone else’s thread. 😂 ❤️
The Warrens pop up everywhere
In this case they were right down the street.
I wish they wouldn't because once they get involved in a case everything said to happen afterwards is suspect.
@@snapdragon6601I'm glad they're gone cause all they did was prey on people.
@@poolhalljunkie9 ...and they always tried to find a way to cash in on it. It's also a shame because it muddies the water in the field of paranormal investigation which makes every case seem either suspect or a flat out hoax when there might have been something really going on with some of them. Now because of the Warrens we'll never know. 😮💨
I believe in the Occult, but The Warren's give it a bad name. I'm firmly of the opinion they are charlatans.
I find Marcia's mention of her deceased grandfather being angry at her adoption and move from Canada to the U.S. to be the most interesting part of this case! I can't help but wonder what might've happened differently if indigenous Canadian spiritual leaders had been invited to observe and offer their expertise
My mates cat used to ‘speak’. It could meow in a way that really mimicked human speech; it was quite odd.
I was there by myself one day to feed the cat whilst they were away and heard ‘hello?’ Being called down the stairs, I damned near shat myself it made me jump so much.
Nobody home, just the cat. I mentioned it to him and he told me it was one of her tricks; she was also capable of saying ‘MaMa’ and what sounded like ‘bye’.
I had never heard of this case before. Shocking for me, considering the massive amount of evidence.
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing this thank you. Though I will reserve any overall opinion about the Warrens, I was even getting angry at my screen when you spoke of Ed’s constant calling in reporters.
Marcia definitely is the source of haunting, the fact she left as soon as she could and basically disappearing back into her ancestral land definitely points at one thing. Wonder what happened in her teenage years, must of been something
Especially if her grandfather was upset that she was so far away from her home. The fact that she seemed so calm during some of it as well
@@SugarandSarcasm there was no grandfather because he was de ad
So the grandpa was mad that she was removed from a very large family and had been placed with another couple due to abuse and neglect.... uh, thanks? grandpa?
@@SugarandSarcasm I think if the grandfather was there, he either wasn't there for long or accidentally brought more with him.
@@stop7556 maybe the house was already haunted, and the grampa was there trying to protect her in spirit?
When you said "SULFUR", I already knew, it couldn't be a Spirit or a Poltergeist. I knew it was a DEMON! Noobs, all of them! My years-long experience of watching Sam and Dean cruisin' around the country saving people and hunting things, has provided me with an incredible knowledge of the Supernatural! Great content, sir :D you got yourself a new subscriber!
😂
Yep, they needed tje Winchesters, not the Warrens.
I grew up in Bridgeport CT 80's into 90's and just by the number of people I knew who were murdered on those streets there should be 😮alot of hauntings
jim, I believe this event was in the 70's. A murder down the street is not going to be the cause of a haunting in your home that is not involved in that murder directly.
You grew up at rough time. During father panic projects era & when they used construction blockades to turn 4 way crossroads into dead ends so cars couldn’t get away if they had to chase them. Before they moved the state police out of Westport and into Bridgeport just so they could help Bridgeport police police the city.
I know what you mean Read School right around the corner
@@user-zf4xu9wu9f 1412 state street for me but we had big fire 🔥 building gone but if it was still there id definitely go visit Just for the memories
@@user-zf4xu9wu9f yup it is; I used to play in the woods right behind Read school it leads from there down to Pond st. right behind my house.
I've been waiting impatiently for an upload but it was definitely worth the wait. The story is new to me which is very refreshing considering it's getting harder for me to find something I don't already know about. And your videos are so clean and professional and your voice and pace are perfect. You've become one of my favourite channels. Thank you for the upload
Glad you enjoyed it!
I used to believe Ed and Lorraine were pretty cool, so hearing these cases offering a whole new perspective is as disheartening as it is a relief to know they weren't experts.
How do you know that?
@YerDaddY. But that last thing you said. I actually have to agree...most people turn away from believing because of them. No doubt.
Same, I used to believe they were the real deal. I think it was when I saw a show where there was a tour of the "museum" with an older Lorraine (after Ed had died) giving the guided tour that I saw through the BS. The whole set up just seemed so cheap & tacky, like a hokey "halloween house" set up or something & just a total attempt to cash in on everything. I mean, they were even selling replica Annabel dolls ffs.
I’ve been heavily researching the warrens for about 7 years. I went through the phase you’re going through now about a year into my research. HOWEVER now I am a 100% believer that Ed and Lorraine Warren were absolutely legitimate, and really were extremely wise and knowledgeable about the paranormal and they were not frauds at all.
Every accusation against them can be dismantled when it’s properly looked into. Watch the interviews with their grandson, he explains a great deal about them, their work, and the incorrect and nasty accusations against them. They were two extraordinary and good people
It could be both. Like maybe they were involved in some genuine hauntings and they were successful. People were facinated, word spread and they realized they could make this a career. But sometimes there was no haunting in a place and they decided they better fake it for the sake of their reputation and income.
I am most compelled with the child who seemed to have been the catalyst. Remember, she was the one who said she communicated with her ancestors, her Grandfather. She may have actually brought the spirits with her since there was never any activity until she arrived.
Quite a few people have highlighted that part as being interesting. I kind of just took it as a lonely girl thinking about her family back home and bringing that into her play, but who knows!
Bport is a very scary place, I know there’s no way I or any other person would walk the streets of this democratic run city with such a high crime rate!!
@@Carrierdlr1🙄
@@Carrierdlr1 you must be so proud of your whitty comment 🙄
@@Carrierdlr1 I agree
Hello again, I’m thrilled to see a new video on this subject. So sad that they lost their son. It’s devastating to grieve for a child. Marcia was great, but no-one can make up for the lost child. Mrs. Goodin had such tight control over her, I’m not surprised that she manifested poltergeist type activity. Psychokinesis is a real phenomenon. A child who was smothered in rules may lash out unconsciously. Later, Marcia figured out that she was getting a lot more attention, so she began trying to imitate the activity eventually leading to the accusations of a hoax.
The activities started slow and escalated into a circus. Because of the shear number of witnesses, credible witnesses who reported seeing the levitations of large objects and damaging objects flying around or being thrown, I can’t discount all the evidence as a hoax. The theory of the child’s grandfather being the most likely culprit is certainly possible. An angry and powerful spirit. The indigenous people are very spiritual and their beliefs were not taken into account by the people involved. Disrespect is not an option for them. Also, they would not be affected by religious beliefs of the Goodin family. To them it had to be a demonic infestation. I think the Warrens only exacerbated the situation by making it more of a media circus. Regardless, they didn’t make any noticeable difference in the case. The ultimate fate of this family is not really known.
Every police officer, priest, neighbor or media member who was there to witness the incident will have to rationalize their experiences and decide whether they believe their own eyes. And, no, I don’t believe in talking cats. In the decades since this happened, paranormal groups have invented many communication devices and are gathering information and evidence of the spiritual world. I think it would be interesting to investigate this incident in today’s world and see if any kind of information could be gleaned. What ever happened to Marcia? Where is she now?
I agree with your comments on this one. And yes it’s true about some people having the gift of objects moving around of what appears to be of their own accord without use of any tangible items or human physical touch. There have been times my own son when extremely upset items would move on their own accord. But to those who are born with this it doesn’t feel like a gift. It actually freaks them out because they often don’t know how to control it and worry someone may get hurt unintentionally by the one who is born with this. What makes no sense to me whatsoever about this super natural story is after this family and other eyewitnesses seeing their all those items being moved and tossed around the whole place being trashed why would these parents even choose to remain in the house afterwards? I mean that’s a lot of shit going on and yet there’s new mom and dad tucking their new daughter into bed and thinking okay sweetie now don’t you worry about what we all saw nothing going to happen now. Give her a kiss on the forehead tickle her and say, “ Night, night don’t let the bedbugs bites.”!Then turn off the lights and close the bedroom door behind ‘em. I mean for real people? Somethings wrong with anybody going through all of that and then staying in the place anyway before finding out what is the cause. Most loving parents wouldn’t stay until shit got cleaned up before the return. For sake of pride perhaps but at what cost?
@@SandyHodge-ig7hn exactly my thoughts of questioning the decision to remain in the house afterwards and even during the times of the whole house getting trashed by the entities. this question always haunts me since I had seen the movie , The Conjuring 2 based on this incident of Linley Street. i mean if it was my parenst, something of that level would made them leave the property the moment it escalated and affected them physically too. they would taken us along with them andleave the house to whatever investigation police and other officials were getting on! this thing just doesnt fits right with me and unsettles me for some reason. an overprotective couple with their foster daughter, suddenly doenst leaves the house in the face of such paranormal incidences. why???? i guess we will never get the answer to it.
Canada
Nan, you really did not pay attention to this entire production or you would already know the answer to some of your query's. Thank you for your thoughts, interesting. IMHO, a very evil spirit involved that wanted to destroy the family, attached to the child, wittingly, or not. A very skilled and serious Exorcist was needed, clearly none were available in the 1970's. Sulfur smell, 3 knocks, religious objects thrown.....what more evidence is needed.....
She’s dead at 51. She and her adoptive parents are all gone. That’s what he said at the end of this story.
I used to walk past this house after school sometimes. You would never think something like this happened there.
Does anyone live in that house?
@@Bh-jf2bu pretty sure there is now, theres usually a car parked right in front. its a bit of a let down considering the story, maybe someone else might have a different opinion but nothing would happen anytime my friends and i went so it always seemed fake to us. We definitely didnt know the whole story like the video explains back then though
I really wonder if any of this had to do with Marcias grandfather? Then the death of their son and the sheltering of Marcia. That's a combo of some powerful energies, but it's just a thought. Never heard of this and it's awesome you brought it up. Great telling as always.
This case is crazy! The fact that so many people bore witness to it makes it all the more unsettling.. it’s a shame that little Marcia was blamed for the entire thing.And the fact that they couldn’t even escape that house is awful. I can’t imagine how difficult that must’ve been for them. They very likely did keep experiencing things but didn’t want any more attention drawn to them. I want to check that book out now.. I’d love to read all the accounts from the police, firemen and other public figures who were involved. I had surprisingly never heard of this case before now.. you did an excellent job narrating it and putting it together. You definitely had me on the edge of my seat many times. Great work!✨
‘little Marcia’ didn’t seem to be very emotionally affected by all that was going on which is odd to say the least. Perhaps she had a personality issue that would cause that, I wouldn’t know.
Why are people checking the plumbing when there’s something lifting a chair into the air?
This made me laugh! Ha
"Must have been the wind..."
You have clearly never eaten Taco Bell.
That knocking being regularly on a schedule seems to do with pipes and weather. Other stuff who knows.
If you don't know what you're doing, just pretend you know what you're doing.
I remember this story. I like that some of the police were willing to admit what they saw was unexplainable. Thank you for these haunted house stories. Can't wait for more. There was a story on Art Bell Ghost to Ghost January 2005. A guy called Art to tell him about his house being haunted. It was titled Entity Attack. I found it on RUclips. It was so good Art had the guy call the next night so he could tell his story.
Did they say this on tv or did newspapers claim they said it?
A police officer recomended my brother move away from lindley street if possible becouse of what was happening. He lived next door to the Goodens.
I had heard of this case way before I realized that I lived down the hill from the actual house! What’s funny is even before I knew where the house was located anytime I walked past that house it gave me a creepy feeling. It sticks out from the rest of the houses on that street which is very long and very uninformed as far as houses go. Most of the house all look alike;4 floor duplexes, but that one is the size of a shed when you look at it from the street; only 1 floor and it’s yard is so small you have maybe a foot on each side of the house before the next property starts so you don’t actually see that even though it looks like a tiny shed it’s long in width and it’s roof is covered in tree limbs, so even though it’s the smallest house on the street it’s very noticeable and it creeps everyone who walked by it out!
Our home WAS truly haunted and it was very well known, so of course as teenagers we`d play jokes on people who came over to see the place. I was in a band and my parents would go to our fishing camp and we`d have big parties. One thing you didn`t DARE do was challenge whatever was there, or do like our bass player or my friend Joel I met in high school, and say there was nothing there or "no such thing as ghosts." Joel said that and the floating, glowing, evil looking beachball sized head appeared to him. I`ve seen it too. Joel described it as an "evil pumpkin head."
Our bass player Jay was in my room writing down song lyrics and the old closet full of my mom`s heavy 1950s nursing shoes flew open, and about 20 pairs of shoes hit him in the chest. He followed me around like a puppy afterward,. and I`d be walking, remember something, stop to turn around, and run into Jay. So I told him he should apologize for what he`d said...and this is hilarious but true...he walked into my room and over to the closet with his head bowed and meekly said, "I`m sorry Mr Ghost." LOL!! I`ve seen others get attacked too for disrespecting these things, whatever they are. If activity happens I`ve discovered it`s best to acknowledge it, and ask whatever it is to please be nice and stop scaring people. Usually anything that happens after this is harmless like pranks.
Just subbed. The pure terror involved in going through something like this is something you will never be able to fully convey or forget. It's always a lurking thought, even once they're gone. Once you've been touched by darkness, you're never quite the same.
You've quickly became one of my favorite youtubers. I love those documentaries!
Thank you!
Great video, been really looking forward to it! This was another one I'd never heard much about before. Very sad how all their lives ended up, and how they all passed so young.
I'm so glad to have caught a new episode so soon to release ❤
I'd never heard of this case, so thank you so much for such a deep dive. I agree with the investigators' conclusion: the girl could've been the origin of the poltergeist, born of her unhappiness. They say that once these things gather enough energy, they have a "life" of their own, feeding on any negativity around. And the Goodin's trauma after their child's death most likely permeated the place with plenty of bad vibes for the poltergeist to feed on. As for the Warrens, I think they started off their careers with the best of intentions, but once it became their business, it all went south.
Excellent work Tape Library, you've become my favorite paranormal content creator. Impeccable research, unbiased content that relies on the research and story to provide the information and with it the entertainment without the need to embellish.
Appreciate it! Thank you
Funny that someone like you claims to care about research and bias
@@yeos_angel_ Someone like me? We all have bias, looking past said bias to appreciate perspectives that we may not abide by on a day to day basis take intellectual integrity. You know nothing about me, nothing about my positions at all, you slander because your bias won't allow you to look past something you disagree with. Do better..
This is a very interesting and well put together video. You do a good job of putting the information out there without latching on to one facet of it, but covered all of the angles. Thank you. I really like your videos.
I found your channel today looking for something to listen too while I draw, and not only are your stories very interesting but your voice is so soothing and pleasant to hear. It fits the ambience really well ❤ you have a new subscriber!
Dude, the artwork that accompanies most of the videos on this channel is absolutely fantastic. The drawings are great and the artist certainly has talent.
Totally wish I had the patience and talent to create these amazing images.
I thought it was ai?

Lol, I love your name.
There's gotta be a funny story behind that.
oh the irony
The stories you tell are great, and you're so good at telling them, 👏 ❤😊
Outstanding, one of the first new to me stories! Bravo, you my new favorite ❤
I think your channel is better than all channels that I've listened to, that tell the stories! There are a couple channels that have a couple million subscribers and I believe if they heard your story telling, they would most certainly subscribe to your channel also! I'm going to share your channel as much as possible because you definitely deserve the subscribers because you are that talented!!
Thank you!
Nice one Tape Library, tonight's listen sorted. 👍☕️
I’ve only just discovered your channel and it’s eerily reminiscent of books I’ve read, great narration well worth the sub
This is up the hill from my house almost across from a pizza shop further back from du Vincent’s hospital and down the streets from elementary school and down the hill from pond st. I pass this little house a lot often wondering about these claims of a talking cat and floating furniture. It’s still there to this day.
I feel so horrible for the Gooding’s, first, their son dies, then they can’t have any more kids, then, when they adopt a child, all the activity happens, and they are terrorized and then harassed by the press, then called hoaxer’s, and then finally their adopted child leaves them and they die.
When you put it like that....😔
:( spoilers. i guess everyone dies though. serves me right for reading comments before the video is over.
I live a town over from Bport, so that’s why I joined your channel and will listen to your podcast!!
its so nice to hear these stories put together so well
New subscriber. I can tell I’m going to be binging your content for a bit. Thank you!
I feel for Marcia, her reactions throughout sound a lot like the reactions of people who experience multiple, prolonged traumas (CPTSD). She came from a home that would have likely been traumatic for her, where she might have begun disassociating for her own survival, then being in this house - regardles of whether it was actually haunted or not - being surounded by people and having her life on display with at least some degree of weird things happening around her only reigniting and reenforcing her colapse response. Things like her seeming to not notice or care about events aren't unusual for someone in a traumatic situation, particularly if they've been previously traumatised. Then going on to "pretend" she didn't remember it, could have been her genuinely not remembering it as memory loss is both a sympom of CPTSD, but if she was disassociated, any time she spent in that state would be time spent not creating memories at all.
Even if there was nothing paranormal going on, she would have certainly been suffering.
Bs. That many witnesses but you still want to secularize something spiritual. CPTSD didn't throw a woman across the room.
@@LiGhTbOrN77 your comment is bs because it's clear you didn't actually read what you oh so ignorantly responded to. you just saw a psychological term and didn't like that for whatever reason so you replied before actually reading. the original comment just expresses the events of marica's life were likely traumatizing and could have led to a condition that would explain her "odd" behavior. the comment doesn't deny the possibility of a legitimate paranormal experience anymore than the video itself does.
based on some of your other responses i can only assume you're a hardcore believer and don't like anyone expressing anything that is even remotely considered skeptical, or secular as you want to put it. so i doubt you'll actually fully read this and any potential reply will be just as eloquent as your first.
@@LiGhTbOrN77 That's an interesting take to have considering I never denied the possibility of her living in a haunted house. My point was mostly about the fact that people demonised her for not having big enough reactions, and then later for saying she didn't remember the events, when those things aren't unusual for people who experience trauma.
I don't really know if I believe in the paranormal or not, but I know for sure that I would be traumatised if I was in a dangerous poltergeist attack as a child
@@billyb6655 Probably so. I was hasty on that one, admittedly. Sorry.
@@sotnos1125 ok I see what you mean.
New subscriber and im enjoying every video 😊 Keep up the good work!
Love me some paranormal documentary. Thanks The Tape Library!
Yet another excellent video. Thank you for the professional way you present these.
Nearly 100k subscribers already. That is a stellar rise. Steady mate, keep calm don't lift. ❤
Yeah, it’s been wild!
I've had small paranormal activity after my grandpa Jim died when I was a baby all the way until his ashes were moved when I was 6
My parents would say my door would open a crack and they would see the rocking cradle they used to help me sleep moving on its own, I'm glad I had a positive experience rather than a negative one.
My dad died in 2015 when my oldest was 2 & I had my second child in 2016. Both of them had interactions with something that they called “grandpa”. My oldest would be interacting with things next to him (nothing I could see). We had my dad’s ashes in the house & he had also lived there over 30 years. It stopped after we moved out when my mom sold the house. They haven’t had any kind of similar experience after that. It was never scary or anything & I actually felt happy because my dad had a horrible death (he was brutally killed by the prenvar13 pneumonia vaccine). He spent months on a ventilator with tears running down his face the whole time. I liked the idea of my dad still with us so I didn’t try and spot it. I never realized the connection between the ashes being moved and stopping the odd activity.
I love your content and these ones are the best kinds when you cover popular hauntings love it
Great work on the videos - I know these take some work to put together, your efforts are obvious. Keep up the great work, I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to more.
Much appreciated!
These videos and documentaries are so well done! I get so excited for your new uploads!
Glad you like them!
@@TheTapeLibrary You've been inspiring me to start creating the outline of my own theoretical paranormal podcast! Thanks!
@@jjschelhaas that's amazing to hear! :)
I always get knocks on my front door at around 3am. Every time, no one is there. I stopped checking.
😳😳 May i recommend a door camera??
We used to have our doorbell go off every night around that time for a week in the fall every year in a rental house my family lived in from 89-95. There were lots of weird/creepy things happening in that house. It was so nice when my parents were able to sell our out of state house and buy another house so we didnt have to rent anymore. Nothing weird in their current house; they've lived there since Nov 1995.
Very interesting i recently found your channel and I enjoy it very much. Thank you
I'm extatic to see your subscribers up at 90 k and so well deserved.lets get this channel over the 100 k he so very much deserves it so well done your content and narration are next level keep growing well.best wishes Michael Edinburgh 🎉🎉😊
Thank you so much! Absolutely bonkers how close we are now, actually can’t believe it
You deserve it so much my friend and I'm sure it will keep rising
Blaming every thing on a meek
Talk about an awesome surprise. Just when I thought I was ready to fall asleep.. I’m not mad at all, keep ‘em coming..thanks
This was very interesting and compelling. I really loves your attention to detail.
I really enjoyed this video. The family certainly experienced so much sadness and loss. I believe that maybe the young girl was responsible for some things, but surely not all. Still find it hard to believe that there is no photos or footage. The Warren's started to want more publicity and calling up media was step too far. Certainly makes you think. Another great video 😊😊
wow i can't believe i've never heard of this one before! what a wild and sad case, and you told it very well. if the cat was indeed talking, or voices were coming from the cat, this would easily fall in line with the story of gef the talking mongoose, or the talking stove of zaragoza (which are two of my favorite poltergeist cases, and i would love to see you cover them!)
You have no idea how excited I am to get to Gef
Excellent work, as always. Very compelling.
This is so well done!! Thank you for sharing such an in-depth narrative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Being from Bridgeport, none of this sounds weird. I swear the place is on a Ley Line. Honestly anything can happen here.
I once witnessed what's called a moonbow and as the moon appeared to be melting out of the sky I only thought "fuck it, of course it is. It never stops here."
A really interesting story that I personally have never heard of. I really wonder how much of it is actually true and not blown out of proportion over the years. Not saying that I think all of the people were lying, for that, I experienced too much on my own that I can't scientifically explain, however, I am also aware that stories tend to get warped given enough time.
Besides that, excellent video. The amount of work that must have gone into the research alone is extreme, and putting it into a full on documentary of this quality is outstanding. I like that, even though you add ambient music in the background, you don't add extra sound effects on top of it to make it more "spooky" and your narration doesn't sound dramatic (as too many other RUclipsrs does), which I highly appreciate.
Stories getting twisted over the years obviously happens, it’s one of the pains of trying to research these stories. But I will say in regards to this one, most of the interviews and reports were conducted in the weeks following the incident. So while there may be some elements that have been added over time, the bulk of the original story should in theory be pretty much what was reported at the time.
@@TheTapeLibrary Which is rare as it is I'm sure. Especially, as you mentioned in the video itself, with so many witnesses and first hand accounts.
Regardless of fact or fiction, your effort shows and that is what makes your videos better than others. :)
Love your channel! Thanks for the good times.
thanks for watching!
I know I'm always in for a great story from The Tape Files.
I believe there is much in this world,and even in ourselves,that we don't really understand.
Hell yeah baby a New tape 📼!!!
Great video, I read the book on this case by William J. Hall when it was first released in 2014. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the paranormal.
So close to one hundred thousand, keep up the great work sir.
ive just discovered this channe, l great video , these stories frighten scare me especially at night , this one is ko exception
Hey, my friend, thank you for another great story! Have you thought about ever teaming up with the guys over at Bedtime Stories? I think Mr. Ballen did so. The only reason I ask is they may help get word out about your incredible channel, which is my top favorite, tied with Bedtime Stories. I can't praise your talented storytelling and creative abilities enough! Greetings from the USA.
Officer Tomek, I am so sorry. I understand your caution. Good on you being willing to try, proud of you.
I'm absolutely fascinated with this story. Ive actually read this book twice.
I imagine the activity would have increased with the energy coming from all of the people surrounding the house. I can't believe I hadn't heard of this case before. Thanks for covering it TTL.
I have to add that I have not heard of the speculations of the Warrens giving laced candy to their clients.... That would actually make a lot of sense.. Learned something new tiday! Thank You! 😊🐱💜
I don't think there was anything to it beyond just being a rumour being spread through the community
@@TheTapeLibrary perhaps. I have had issues with the methods and credibility of the Warrens and tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if the rumor turned out to be true one day.
People would know if they'd been drugged I would imagine.
A great video again! There was an instance where Marcia had claimed to be able to talk to her grandfather, who was not happy that she had been taken away from her original place. Does this have to do anything with the events that had occurred at their house?
A few others in the comments have suggested this too! I took it as just her playing but who knows
Excellent episode! I appreciate how you manage the Warrens in a neutral way; I find some things about them positive, but there is much that is frustrating as well. Good intentions don’t make up for bad/questionable outcomes.
It's a very sad story. Shame on the Warren's for taking advantage of this family. If you really want to help, help. Not for your own gain and attention.
They were always doing that. Even if they knew what they were talking about and even if Lorraine's gift was real (I personally have my doubts) they were extreme opportunists.
You so dumb.
@@belad0nna They fought evil and they exposed it. Their reward is people like you.
@@raeray8245 no they didn't. And their lies show it.
Great work my friend great work!!
Thanks a lot!
Wow. Lots of research here. Really well produced. 👏👏👏
Thanks!
Paul Eno is my dad (he actually passed away a few weeks ago), what happened to him at that house changed his life forever and his theories of the paranormal. Side note, that prayer book was an Orthodox prayer book half in English and half in Cyrillic. The reporter that took that picture thought it was written in sanscrit, according to my dad anyway. Great job!
I'm really sorry to hear about your dad! Looking into the story for this video has been my introduction to him, but the little i have read makes it sound like he was an extremely nice and open minded guy. Would have loved to have spoken with him about his encounters, i'm sure you heard so many interesting stories! Thanks for watching.
Excellent episode. The notion that the energy is coming from an individual and somehow making these types of things happen is interesting. However, like you said, it could also be a combination of things going on in both the physical realm and the spiritual one.
I enjoyed watching this documentary very much. I agree that a child cannot lift a sofa or fridge by itself. It was witnessed and documented officially by the authorities in Bridgeport just like in Enfield the town where i live (i am watching the Sally House documentary next). For those of us that have experienced similar phenomena such as seeing horned entities like in Bridgeport and other manifestaions collectively with other people know this is true and we didn't imagine it. These things do happen.
Wild story!! Thank you for creating this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done Tape Library! I'd be curious to know if any one lived in the house after this family and if any one has had events happen in the house since?? 🤷♀
I remember when you had 4 k subscribers, it was nice to catch you on your way to however many milions you ll end up with ❤
Thank you for the support!
I feel like this story is full of generational trauma and displacement of people from their native land. It's really sad and led to a bunch of issues to everyone involved.
Agree.
Excellent production in this video!
Thank you for the post! ✌🏼😊
I was born and raised in Bridgeport Connecticut and even the haunted house is tough, if you can survive Bpt you can make it anywhere
Edit:
After having finished the video, I see that the creator also read the book lol
I got most of my "theories" from a book called The World's Most Haunted House.
It's important to note that because Laura was so over protective that Marcia came to hate her. Anger/hate/fear give the entity more power. As does tragedy since it causes strong negative emotions.
I also think something may have followed them from the cemetery and the turmoil stirred up inside the home welcomed more evil inside.
One last thing! Don't ever open a door if no one is in the other side as that welcomes the entity into your home. Maybe they didn't have a peep hole. Idk.
