@@TheTapeLibrary I haven't watched the video yet, but YES I believe my grandfather died a day before my brother was born,my mom was in hospital for 2 weeks already and he was born on October 11, my grandfather died on the 10. (I am 12 years older then him). My brother says stuff that he couldn't possibly know, eg he mentions a car that my grandparents had when they were young a white Toyota (there are not pictures of the car), he talks about the ultramar war like he was there, talks about Angola like he had been there. Also things my brother says reminds of the way my grandfather used to speak, and the way he looks at me when I say something "crazy" exactly the same. I am my brother favourite person, I was my grandfathers also. (But this could be a coincidence) My grandmother used to look after 2 young children for a neighbour, when the girls come see my grandmother he calls them nene and toto (which were the names my grandparents use to dearly call them) I wasn't even alive yet how can he know? My grandmother calls them by their names, I never heard my grandmother call them that. My brother once mentioned a gate that used to be on the left side when I was like maybe 8 he was not even born yet, there aren't pictures of the gate, how does he know that the gate use to be on left side and not on the right like his now? This are just a few things that make believe I am sure I am forgetting quite a bit and important stuff! This scared me and my grandmother for years, we are pretty sure my grandfather reincarnated in my brother. Sorry for long comment.
The story of reincarnation aside, I'm torn between being shocked and unsurprised that someone with connections would walk free after killing 3 children in a reckless driving incident.
Thank you for pointing that out. After watching the episode you would almost forget about that. That cae alone would be a very interesting video if we had more info on it. Unfortunately this was a long time ago.
Hey, it's the 21st century. Much of the world is like a modern Sodom and Gomorrah. It's hard (for me at least) to be shocked by anything at all, any more. Nowadays it seems like people choose and change their morality as readily as their clothing. /shrug I'm actually a strong optimist. But yeah, basically what I'm saying is, I hear ya. It is sad, but to me not surprising.
@@MMumbles I think it's shocking given how much public interest there was in the case. I am curious though how much of it was her connections. Or if a lack of understanding regarding mental health and drug use may have played a part. Or a combination of the two - "This was a well off upstanding citizen, no way she could have been in control of her actions".
@@TheTapeLibraryit’s easy to forget how scant the understanding about drug use and mental health was back then. I’m 64 so can remember. People used to regularly drink and drive and I remember in 1979 a friend saying that the more they drank, the better their driving became. I don’t feel angry towards the woman who was driving - if anything I feel sorry for her.
The twins' nervousness around streets and cars could have been picked up from their parents. They could have given unconscious cues the kids picked up on to be careful.
The father was obsessed with the idea of reincartion. Of course future children would bear similarities. This is sadly a case of coping with unimaginable grief.
Right....that Dad also coached them, I am 100 percent convinced of that. It's not that much of a mystery, he clearly was convinced of reincarnation and made sure they knew one way or another they knew the things they did to cope.... it's actually very sad.... Edit:can you imagine never being allowed to be yourself but being groomed to be a dead sibling......... they may have even believed it because Mom and Dad believed it so hard....it would have been such a sad existence not being allowed to literally be yourself......
The accounts from the surviving twin is probably the most reliable one. I can imagine the boys grew up resenting their father a lot. It must be very difficult for boys to lose their sisters like that, see no mourning from their father and then the new twins get all this attention; where did that leave them...
I thought the whole "showing a 4 year-old pictures of autopsies and molesting them at the same time" story was a bit over the top. I will always give victims the benefit of the doubt but that detail is so out of line with the other stories about him just being physically abusive and distant.
Yeah. I was thinking the same. I understand the sons and how they feel. The twins turned into his whole world just leaving his first two daughters and sons in the dust.
I've never heard of this family and their story. It's fascinating but so incredibly bleak. Whether he truly believed in reincarnation or not to proclaim that over his children seems to automatically strip them of their own identities. As if they are forced to live in this dark shadow of their departed sisters. This family has truly suffered... Thank you for your content and presentation. I always look forward to your vids.
i hear what you’re saying and i agree. it is sad to know those girls died and weren’t mourned by their father, regardless of his beliefs. their actual lives were simply a notch in the bedpost of this story
When I was a kid, I had some hazy memories of what my American kid brain tried to interpret as some kind of a maze. I also remember trying to convince my mom that I was Italian (that was the best kid me could come up with), but she was like 'no honey' lol. Fast forward to high school and we're watching Gladiator in class. During the arena scene, I kept having this feeling like 'danger danger.' When I was about 18, I had an unusually vivid dream about being killed in the colosseum. It was like a bunch of flash bulbs went off and all the memories I forgot about came back. I did some research and found that what I tried to interpret as a maze was the space that's now on the ground floor of the arena. It used to be underneath another floor and they'd use a system of levers and pulleys to open trap doors in it.
The photo of the twins that gets misattributed as the Pollocks actually isn't just "a random photo": it's the work of Diane Arbus. She specifically did a lot of portraits of really unusual and uncanny subjects, and made several photos of various sets of twins and triplets. Her famous photo of the Wade twins - the one you showed - was the inspiration for the twins in The Shining. I really recommend looking up her work!
Damm😂😂😂😂as soon as I saw this picture of the twins, the twins in “The Shining “ came to my mind😂😂😂😂 crazy how you can associate similar things mentally….😮
Well, in my opinion, it's kind of obvious that the twins, born after the previous twins passed away, would have similarities to them. Like the fact that Jennifer would hold her pen in her fist, like Jacqueline had done and Jillian walked the same way Johanna had, etc. I mean they were born from the same father and mother as the previous twins had. That's genetics. There might be other less explainable things, but I think the physical similarities might have been caused by genetics. By the way, I love your channel and your voice. It's so soothing and perfect for telling mysterious stories.
I think it's less interesting that they had similarities to their sister's. The more notable part of that is they matched the specific sister they were apparently a reincarnation of.
What an interesting story! I’m Indian, and in our culture, reincarnation and karma are deeply rooted beliefs. I’ve heard stories about kids who seem to remember pieces of a past life but forget as they grow older and get more caught up in their present. One belief we have is that children who pass away young are more likely to reincarnate into the same family because of unfulfilled desires or strong attachments. My grandmother used to tell me about my cousin who, when she was just 3 years old, would describe her ‘real’ house in detail-a traditional South Indian ‘tharavadu’ house she had no way of knowing about. Whenever they would go on roadtrips, she would ask her mother to drop her off at her 'real' house! Eventually, she grew out of it, but it’s still something we talk about because it’s so fascinating. With the Pollock twins, I feel like there’s probably some truth to their story, but it does seem like John might have started adding to it for attention and shock value.
I've read this story countless times over the years but it's never been as detailed as this so well done on the excellent research. I have my own memories of what I consider to have been other life times the strongest happening after an NDE.
Excellent choice doing this as a stand alone instead of cramming it into another one! Your details and narration keep me coming back. I really appreciate how much research and work you obviously put into your projects ❤
I had not heard about the Pollock family, and here you have laid before us such a well choreographed account which was very compelling. I was captivated from the getgo. Thank you for sharing your hard with us x
This story might just be a big mix of coincidences and lies, but I'm also sure there is some truth to it. I definitely believe there was something going on with John as well, especially in regards to wanting the spotlight. I feel bad for Gillian and Jennifer, who were definitely raised in the shadows of their late older sisters, especially because they were told wayyy too late in their lives. Really great telling of their story!
I have heard bits and pieces of this story over the years, but your comprehensive mini-documentary on the pollock story was amazing, well thought out, and extremely precise and cohesive. Thank you for the hard work your channel puts into all of your videos. (I have seen all your videos, one of my favorite channels.)
I remember the son of a family friend who was only 3yrs old who was Adamant that he used to be a Taxi driver and he'd say things like 'I was a Taxi driver before I was born" and" I was a Taxi driver in my other life" but the way he said it you could tell that he really meant and believed it 🤔💯😉
@TheTapeLibrary yeah mate me too and the way he'd say it made it seem credible to me and I've always believed that your soul passes on and you have old Souls and younger souls and it kinda explains why some people are just naturally wiser than others 💯 and I read somewhere that little things like if people tend to approach you to ask for directions over other people it's like a 6th sense people subconsciously have where they zone in on you due to them thinking you'll have more chance to know than say a younger soul
Me and my gf were watching this and she started telling me about her asking her dad and grandparents about a woman who looked after her when she was younger(keep in mind she was about 4 at the time) called Kerry and they kept telling her she never had a babysitter with that name. But she was adamant that this person had been in her life and they were lying about it. Couple of years later she has an imaginary friend with the very same name. Her family put her original talk about this person down to this imaginary friend but she swears she was talking about a real person that she absolutely remembered but concedes that she couldn't have known them at that age. Make of that what you will.
@garethmoores4168 There's definitely some. otherworldly/supernatural type stuff that happens that can't be explained coz I know for real 100% that I seen ghosts when I was a kid and there's been other things happen that can only be explained as supernatural 💯💯😉
I had to become a MEMBER today to help keep theses stories in production. Im mesmorized by the reel to reel tape players; which fascinated me as a child. The photos and B-roll footage intrigues me, casting wonder if they are stock or related to the stories. Ninetheless the footage ads such an eerie aura to the stories. Thank you! (Your dialect is comforting)
Thank you very much! The footage is generally a mixture. I try to use real footage and images as much as possible but obviously that isn't always possible. So then it'll be stock or anything else I can find. The fact that it's sometimes hard to tell which is which is a positive in my eyes :)
Hey man. I have been a fan of your channel for a while now, but as I watch on the TV, I don't often comment. However, I have to say you are one of the best story tellers out there on YT. I hope you grow the community in the yrars to come and it really works for you. On this video, I am Buddhist so I do believe in reincarnation. I have heard of similar stories before but admittedly in SE Asia. I am also a man of science, but still believe it is possible. Thanks for your channel buddy and keep up the good work
I really enjoyed the film "What Dreams May Come", starring the late Robin Williams. It took into consideration a plethora of belief systems, philosophies, and ideologies, combining them into an overlapping system that affected each soul differently once they died. It was way before its time and a brilliant albeit underrated piece of cinema. This story makes me think about that film, with regards to the part about reincarnation and one's belief that it's possible. Anyhow, great work as usual, mate. I'm a new subscriber and catching up on all of your work here on RUclips. Excellent thus far! Keep it up! Cheers 🍻
My only problem with your videos is that, even though you tell riveting stories, your voice and tone is so soothing it makes me sleepy 😅 Thank you for another wonderful video!
- If no tragedy had taken place, the elder sisters had died instantly, and they only went to heaven to be reincarnated, why would the girls supposedly be so terrified of cars? It would be but a blip in their lives, right? - Mary and Susan, not at all unusual names for dolls or girls in that time and place. - Children borne of the same parents and raised in the same family will not surprisingly bear similarities in behavior and genetics. - So they didn’t point to the school, actually. - Kids asking to go to a playground to swing, also not weird. Doesn’t mean they knew there was a specific one nearby. Kids just assume what they want is available. - They can claim they never talked about any of it in front of the girls, but there’s no way to prove ANY of it. Very, very thin evidence. Being in the same generation of a family makes such coincidences even higher probability.
I like the idea of reincarnation. If energy cannot be created or destroyed, perhaps the electrical energy of our brains moves on and finds a new home. A great episode, as always. I was vaguely familiar with this story beforehand, but the level of detail you go into is next level.
You get better and better with each telling Mr Library ! Completely love your work as well as your style (and the work of all who make this channel possible!) Big thank you!
It's a little mind boggling to me that they didn't believe the woman who killed the 3 children should be punished just because they believed the girls had been reincarnated. Like, even if the kids hadn't died, you should still be punished for running over 3 kids with your car.
I’m so excited to be off and listen to this goody with my beats… so much so I’m skipping making dinner (for now)! Much love from Florida and Thank you for this ❤❤❤
Family secrets… truth is we will never really know which scenario is fact. Whether Mr. Pollack truly believed his newborn twins were really his deceased twins reincarnated is apparent. Whether they actually were or if he was just seeking to be a “important man” as you mentioned is where we’ll never really know. Could Mr. Pollack been a loving caring man and also do what he was accused of? Absolutely you see it all the time in society.
Such an interesting story. I'm a bit conflicted on this one. I believe in things like premonitions and spirits (having experienced both), but am always a bit skeptical on stories of reincarnation. That being said, my younger brother was born in September of 2002, and when he was younger, he insisted that he died on 9/11. This was long before he knew anything about the attacks as it wasn't something we discussed with him at that age. He doesn't remember it anymore and it's so eerie for me looking back on it...
Started this last night in bed but as usual i fell sound asleep not long after. Your narration is so relaxing. I listened again this morning on my way to work. I think i do believe in past lives on some level, there are so many stories from all over the world that fascinate me. I always remember one about a young boy in india that was convinced he was someone else, they found the family and the husband had been shot in the head the day the boy was born and he had a birthmark exactly where the bullet had hit the man. So so strange. Love stories like this. X
I’m really surprised you don’t have more likes/subscribers than this! You inspire me to start making videos about different things, myths/legends/fairy tales based on facts, true crime type stuff, but I have no idea where to begin. You do great work and I look forward to seeing new posts from you all the time. I hope you keep it up! 🖤🖤🖤
I read about a boy in Scotland who claimed to remember a past life, even talking about an airfield that used to exist, long torn down or abandoned-- interesting bit is that after the age of 6 or so, he completely forgot all of it and denied the memories. There were a lot .ore details, and i can't recall where i heard it. Interesting parallèles to this story...
Just in time. Just had lunch. Time to engage in my favorite work activity, sit at my desk and listen to The Tape Library. Glad you're covering this case.
This was a truly fascinating story. I especially like this type of video, where it's a strange, mysterious and almost surreal account but isn't overtly supernatural or absurd. I love the ones where so much of the accounts are grounded in reality and only small parts may be something else. Keep up the great work. Your channel is like the most consistently high quality channel I'm subscribed to - every single video is excellent.
I was born in Corbridge a village 10 miles away from Hexham & lived in Hexham in the early 90.s & I've never heard this story till now. Thanks so much & I love the way you tell the stories.
Oh lol, I had thought that black and white photo was the twins from that movie 'the shining'. There is a definite resemblance. I wonder if the movie's producers or director saw that picture, and based the ghost twins, in the movie, off that photo? Maybe they took inspiration from it. Edit: I just googled it and the director, Stanley Kubrick actually was inspired by that photo, and based the appearance of the twins in his movie off of that photo. There is an article about it.
This is my first ever video of yours I’ve run into and I’m immediately fascinated by your story telling and voice. I’ve subbed and can’t wait to start binging your stuff while I clean.
I would imagine there was some resentment in the family if the father paid attention to the girls and ignored the rest of the kids. And then didn’t mourn their mother and got remarried right away after having affairs over the years. Also sounds a bit narcissistic? Thinking he’s so intellectual. To me, he sounds like a difficult personality who forced the others to go along with his beliefs. Whether the girls were reincarnated, I can’t say for sure, but it’s impossible to know that no one in that family - and extended family - ever said anything about the ones who died. That’s what I stick on. They could’ve heard stuff about their sisters. You only have the fathers word that they weren’t told anything. I guess I’m a skeptic!
There's a notable name in spiritual circles named Matias de Stefano and he talks about memories he has from past lives. Now the pinch of salt (or probably a massive heap) you want to take with his stories is that he experiences a lot of these past memories doing ayahuasca, but doing that is considered among the kind of woo woo spiritual people to be a meaningful experience in and of itself. The guy also does podcasts with people so one of these days you might get a chance to interview him and that would be a fun conversation for sure. Anyway, thanks for another interesting episode!
Maybe by chance, or maybe not. But I just watched a video last night on norrse beliefs on reincarnation, with many commonalities to this video. Thank you for you're continued fantastic work. By far my favorite RUclips channel. Just wish we got more ''Tape Library' material more frequently lol
Interesting! Content has been a little sparse lately, I was ill in November and then took a bit of time off for Christmas. But back into it now, settling back into the regular 2 week release schedule.
@TheTapeLibrary sweet! I Wasn't bitching 🤣🤣, just always looking forward to new content from you. By far my favorite channel for this style. Keep up the impeccable work!
I grew up in Hexham and we had a whole lesson about this case in religious studies class, it fascinated me then and continues to fascinate me to this day!
So, do you think we come back?
i think so. prefer to come back as a Cat lol. Par-core would be awesome
Where did we go?
No. Hopefully not.

But she was adamant that this person had been in her life and they were lying about it. Couple of years later she has an imaginary friend with the very same name. Her family put her original talk about this person down to this imaginary friend but she swears she was talking about a real person that she absolutely remembered but concedes that she couldn't have known them at that age. Make of that what you will.
@garethmoores4168 There's definitely some. otherworldly/supernatural type stuff that happens that can't be explained coz I know for real 100% that I seen ghosts when I was a kid and there's been other things happen that can only be explained as supernatural 💯💯😉
My nephew looks and acts just like his great grandfather. He is named after him too. It’s just kind of amazing to see
Tragedy upon tragedy. Loved your telling of this story. Excellent entry to the tape library.
A solid start to what is likely to be a strong year for the channel, TL. Great video and keep up the good work
Thank you!
I had to become a MEMBER today to help keep theses stories in production. Im mesmorized by the reel to reel tape players; which fascinated me as a child.
The photos and B-roll footage intrigues me, casting wonder if they are stock or related to the stories. Ninetheless the footage ads such an eerie aura to the stories. Thank you!
(Your dialect is comforting)
Thank you very much! The footage is generally a mixture. I try to use real footage and images as much as possible but obviously that isn't always possible. So then it'll be stock or anything else I can find. The fact that it's sometimes hard to tell which is which is a positive in my eyes :)
so happy i caught this Video!! thank you for all that you do❤️
Yesssssss! I have been patiently waiting Mr
I'm so happy you've put out another scary story for us , I've been checking the tape library every day !
Had a short break but back at it now :)
Hey man. I have been a fan of your channel for a while now, but as I watch on the TV, I don't often comment. However, I have to say you are one of the best story tellers out there on YT. I hope you grow the community in the yrars to come and it really works for you. On this video, I am Buddhist so I do believe in reincarnation. I have heard of similar stories before but admittedly in SE Asia. I am also a man of science, but still believe it is possible. Thanks for your channel buddy and keep up the good work
Appreciate you taking the time! Thank you :)
A "man of science" who believes that reincarnation is possible?
What would be a scientific explanation for a dead person returning in some form?
I really enjoyed the film "What Dreams May Come", starring the late Robin Williams. It took into consideration a plethora of belief systems, philosophies, and ideologies, combining them into an overlapping system that affected each soul differently once they died. It was way before its time and a brilliant albeit underrated piece of cinema. This story makes me think about that film, with regards to the part about reincarnation and one's belief that it's possible. Anyhow, great work as usual, mate. I'm a new subscriber and catching up on all of your work here on RUclips. Excellent thus far! Keep it up! Cheers 🍻
Remember watching that as part of my research for a uni project. Been a long time since I've thought about it.
SAME! My favorite movie, and this story took me right back to What Dreams May Come.
@pepperlandprovisions3480 cheers 🍻

My only problem with your videos is that, even though you tell riveting stories, your voice and tone is so soothing it makes me sleepy 😅
Thank you for another wonderful video!
- If no tragedy had taken place, the elder sisters had died instantly, and they only went to heaven to be reincarnated, why would the girls supposedly be so terrified of cars? It would be but a blip in their lives, right?
- Mary and Susan, not at all unusual names for dolls or girls in that time and place.
- Children borne of the same parents and raised in the same family will not surprisingly bear similarities in behavior and genetics.
- So they didn’t point to the school, actually.
- Kids asking to go to a playground to swing, also not weird. Doesn’t mean they knew there was a specific one nearby. Kids just assume what they want is available.
- They can claim they never talked about any of it in front of the girls, but there’s no way to prove ANY of it.
Very, very thin evidence. Being in the same generation of a family makes such coincidences even higher probability.
I like the idea of reincarnation. If energy cannot be created or destroyed, perhaps the electrical energy of our brains moves on and finds a new home.
A great episode, as always. I was vaguely familiar with this story beforehand, but the level of detail you go into is next level.
Reincarnation is absolutely real. It was scrubbed from bible to control people.
You get better and better with each telling Mr Library ! Completely love your work as well as your style (and the work of all who make this channel possible!) Big thank you!
It's just me but thank you!
I came back just for this video..🎵 i just cant get enough🎵!!
It's a little mind boggling to me that they didn't believe the woman who killed the 3 children should be punished just because they believed the girls had been reincarnated. Like, even if the kids hadn't died, you should still be punished for running over 3 kids with your car.
If stupidity should be taken responsibility, many would be dead.
This is how I spent my free time.
Watching your amazing videos and paint.
I have wondered the same exact thing about that black & white photo. Thank you for looking into that!
Thank you Tape library, I'm always pleased to tune in. 😘
I’ve never heard this one before by oh my goodness! Your voice is very relaxing even when telling such an eerie story. Great job my friend ✨☕️
Ohhhh, I've heard about this before but never in this much depth. Thank you so much!
No worries!
I’m familiar with this incident/story. You provided a lot more information than I’d previously heard. This is a great channel.
Thanks for listening
Another completely awesome episode, great work 👏👏
Thank you!
31:50 the photo is by Diane Arbus a famous photographer in the 60s
Well my night is set! Thank You Tape Library.
Tape Library! I've missed you!!
I’m so excited to be off and listen to this goody with my beats… so much so I’m skipping making dinner (for now)! Much love from Florida and Thank you for this ❤❤❤
Really appreciate the amount of research you put into this. Great video!
Much appreciated!
I am so happy to have found you here, love "Unexplained" for years❤
Family secrets… truth is we will never really know which scenario is fact. Whether Mr. Pollack truly believed his newborn twins were really his deceased twins reincarnated is apparent. Whether they actually were or if he was just seeking to be a “important man” as you mentioned is where we’ll never really know. Could Mr. Pollack been a loving caring man and also do what he was accused of? Absolutely you see it all the time in society.
Not my bedtime so I’ll watch now and later tonight.
This just made my day much better!
I think you're the best story reteller on RUclips. This is my first video of yours and it made me a subscriber!
Right on. I was wondering when you would upload.
Can't wait for tonight to listen to this ❤
Such an interesting story. I'm a bit conflicted on this one. I believe in things like premonitions and spirits (having experienced both), but am always a bit skeptical on stories of reincarnation. That being said, my younger brother was born in September of 2002, and when he was younger, he insisted that he died on 9/11. This was long before he knew anything about the attacks as it wasn't something we discussed with him at that age. He doesn't remember it anymore and it's so eerie for me looking back on it...
Started this last night in bed but as usual i fell sound asleep not long after. Your narration is so relaxing. I listened again this morning on my way to work. I think i do believe in past lives on some level, there are so many stories from all over the world that fascinate me. I always remember one about a young boy in india that was convinced he was someone else, they found the family and the husband had been shot in the head the day the boy was born and he had a birthmark exactly where the bullet had hit the man. So so strange. Love stories like this. X
I’m really surprised you don’t have more likes/subscribers than this! You inspire me to start making videos about different things, myths/legends/fairy tales based on facts, true crime type stuff, but I have no idea where to begin.
You do great work and I look forward to seeing new posts from you all the time. I hope you keep it up! 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks! A little over a year ago I had under 10,000 subs so people are finding me :)
I’ve started listening to the extra sensory podcast and it’s super interesting!! I appreciate the recommendation ❤
Hope you enjoy it!
Great story telling love the tape library and of couse mystery archives two of my favourite s😊
I have to commend you for the audio in this video. Love the ambience! It’s just enough to make the story engaging but not distracting

Just posted 8 min ago 😮 so excited to listen
@TheTapeLibrary Happy New Year from America! I am looking forward to your stories this year! I loved this one ❤
And to you!
I always get excited when I see a new Tape Library upload! ❤
Where have you been? We missed you! Will there be a Paranormal Night Drive episode coming out soon, too?
Went and hid on a farm for the end of the year before getting back into it. Yes! Not 100% when but will be this month
What a fascinating story. Seen things about them but tape library makes me watch and listen. Very interesting.
Love your narration and research.Thankyou
Great video. One of your best👌
Thank you! Something a little different I guess, was fun to write about though
Thank you bestie.
I read about a boy in Scotland who claimed to remember a past life, even talking about an airfield that used to exist, long torn down or abandoned-- interesting bit is that after the age of 6 or so, he completely forgot all of it and denied the memories. There were a lot .ore details, and i can't recall where i heard it. Interesting parallèles to this story...
Yaaasss, I needed this today
Just in time. Just had lunch. Time to engage in my favorite work activity, sit at my desk and listen to The Tape Library. Glad you're covering this case.
I won't tell anyone, just pretend it's work
@TheTapeLibrary I knew I could count on you.
This was a truly fascinating story. I especially like this type of video, where it's a strange, mysterious and almost surreal account but isn't overtly supernatural or absurd. I love the ones where so much of the accounts are grounded in reality and only small parts may be something else. Keep up the great work. Your channel is like the most consistently high quality channel I'm subscribed to - every single video is excellent.
This story was interesting. I've said it before, it's great to hear the differing opinions. Thanks, Mr. TL. ✌️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
Another fascinating story expertly delivered. Welcome back after the festive season. Love this
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy your content thank you ❤🎉
The best channel is back!!
ELLO
My boyfriend told me to subscribe, definitely not regretted it. Thank you for great content. Very well put together
I was born in Corbridge a village 10 miles away from Hexham & lived in Hexham in the early 90.s & I've never heard this story till now. Thanks so much & I love the way you tell the stories.
Great job man, we love your videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
As a note: The twins photo is a very famous piece by Diane Arbus, not a random photo. ✌️
Yeah fair point, I just meant random in regards to the fact it has nothing to do with the pollocks
Oh lol, I had thought that black and white photo was the twins from that movie
'the shining'. There is a definite resemblance. I wonder if the movie's producers or director saw that picture, and based the ghost twins, in the movie, off that photo? Maybe they took inspiration from it.
Edit: I just googled it and the director, Stanley Kubrick actually was inspired by that photo, and based the appearance of the twins in his movie off of that photo. There is an article about it.
you are by far truly amazing when it comes to putting these stories together. I absolutely love watching your channel
Thank you!
This is my first ever video of yours I’ve run into and I’m immediately fascinated by your story telling and voice. I’ve subbed and can’t wait to start binging your stuff while I clean.
I always learn about new cases from this channel! Thank you so much for all your hard work!! I look forward to every new upload
Dam it’s good to see your back definitely we’re missed
I really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would imagine there was some resentment in the family if the father paid attention to the girls and ignored the rest of the kids. And then didn’t mourn their mother and got remarried right away after having affairs over the years. Also sounds a bit narcissistic? Thinking he’s so intellectual. To me, he sounds like a difficult personality who forced the others to go along with his beliefs. Whether the girls were reincarnated, I can’t say for sure, but it’s impossible to know that no one in that family - and extended family - ever said anything about the ones who died. That’s what I stick on. They could’ve heard stuff about their sisters. You only have the fathers word that they weren’t told anything. I guess I’m a skeptic!
See it that way to.
I can't decide if sending wreaths to the funeral of the people you killed is a baller move, or the heighth of bad taste.
Yeah that detail felt a little off to me
Wow. Those poor children. 😢
There's a notable name in spiritual circles named Matias de Stefano and he talks about memories he has from past lives. Now the pinch of salt (or probably a massive heap) you want to take with his stories is that he experiences a lot of these past memories doing ayahuasca, but doing that is considered among the kind of woo woo spiritual people to be a meaningful experience in and of itself. The guy also does podcasts with people so one of these days you might get a chance to interview him and that would be a fun conversation for sure.
Anyway, thanks for another interesting episode!
Not familiar with him but will have a listen
Maybe by chance, or maybe not. But I just watched a video last night on norrse beliefs on reincarnation, with many commonalities to this video. Thank you for you're continued fantastic work. By far my favorite RUclips channel. Just wish we got more ''Tape Library' material more frequently lol
Interesting!
Content has been a little sparse lately, I was ill in November and then took a bit of time off for Christmas. But back into it now, settling back into the regular 2 week release schedule.
@TheTapeLibrary sweet! I Wasn't bitching 🤣🤣, just always looking forward to new content from you. By far my favorite channel for this style. Keep up the impeccable work!
@subtlepsycho nah didn't think you was, don't worry ♥️
I knew some of this story but not the prior prayers or predictions, nor that it was another Hexham case!! Fascinating stuff. Thank you!!
As always…. perfect 👍 merci beaucoup pour votre contenu ça fait toujours plaisir d’écouter vos histoires
Merci!
YES! FINALLY a new Tape Library video!
Just a short break, back at this now :)
YES NEW UPLOAD just in time for bed 🙏🙏🙏
I grew up in Hexham and we had a whole lesson about this case in religious studies class, it fascinated me then and continues to fascinate me to this day!
Haven't watched yet but saw your community post so thought I'd add a comment, no doubt going to be some more top quality content !
Hope you enjoyed
