Hope you all enjoy this one! As I said, had a lot of fun putting this one together so thanks once again for all those who requested it! Always open to taking ideas for videos you all want to see.
@@MiguelGarcia-uf9ll oh it's abandoned? You suggesting this today might have been fate. Might be able to include this in the very next video I'm working on. Thank you!
I am SO happy that my country gets more attention in the paranormal/history sphere of youtube. Czech republic has so much cool legends and mystical places that are worthy of talking about!
@@TheTapeLibrary That´s amazing! As a history student with passion for paranormal and folklore, I feel like Czechia isn´t getting much attention from youtube creators like other Slavic countries (for example Russia,or Poland) and its really nice to see somebody as meticulous as you giving my country some well deserved attention.
I have a video suggestion, it's on the _Hoia Baciu Forest_ in Transylvania. There are tons of strange stories and sightings surrounding the forest and it's odd shaped trees. I know I'd love to see what kind of strange and creepy accounts you could dig up. Great video as always! 👍👍
Agreed! I have an acquaintance who happened to spend an afternoon there about a year ago, and he said he literally shit his pants that day. Out of the blue he heard a "loud" whisper calling his name, and when they were deeper into the forest there was this smell of sulfur. Also he noticed his heartbeat was irregular the whole time, something he never experienced before (he's healthy). I don't think people talk enough about that place, something seriously wrong happened there that brought on the region this low vibration/evil energy. Great video!!!
One of the most notorious legends surrounding Castle Houska is that it was constructed over a large, deep hole believed to be a portal to Hell. This pit is said to be inhabited by demons and other malevolent spirits. To prevent these evil forces from escaping into the world, the castle was built to seal the portal, effectively containing the horrors that lay below.
I love how you actually talk about topics I haven’t heard of before. And you’ve got an incredible voice. Your edits are great. And i actually get immersed in your voice. Absolutely zero other creators can do that. Love this channel!
@@TheTapeLibrary of course! I really appreciate you and the outstanding job you’ve doing. I’m so happy the algorithm threw this channel at me. Keep up the great work and I fully expect that you’ll blow up. 💕
That description of the year 2006 from a man from the first half of the 19th century is absolutely chilling. He 100% traveled to the future, I'm convinced.
gotta say you have some of the best jumpscare edits i have seen, it's not just some scary face screaming at you but rather your edits contribute to that feeling of dread is just enough to keep you on your toes without breaking immersion.
Appreciate that! I try not to really do too many jump scares as it feels a bit cheap sometimes, but on occasion I'll do something a bit 'jump scare esq' if it feels right for the story. (Or for that one subscriber bit I did with the clown before, that I seemingly traumatised a few people with).
Visitors and staff at Castle Houska have reported eerie occurrences within its walls. Tales of ghostly apparitions, strange sounds, and feelings of being watched are common among those who have spent time in the castle. Ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts often frequent the site in hopes of capturing evidence of the supernatural.
I’m so glad you decided to do some content on old dwellings like castles. I have always been terrible drawn & fascinated by such types of dwellings b/c they exude such aged & literally drenched w/history & events that the younger dwellings just don’t hold.
If you like stories about castles I would like to suggest a book, "Living with Ghosts" by Prince Michael of Greece! Very interesting stories! One particular one took place in Poland about a treasure that was supposed to be buried there! When communicating with the ghost she informed Prince Michael that yes there was a treasure, but not gold and gems! A secret that went back to the Knights Templar! Patricia Gambino Harrington
There's a horror novel by F. Paul Wilson, titled _The keep,_ that was adapted into a movie in 1983 by Michael Mann. The setting is a place eerily similar to this. I wonder if this was the inspiration for it.
I read The Keep back in high school, not long after the movie came out, which I've never seen. I had heard this castle and the legends were part of the inspiration. It's easy to see why.
@@TheTapeLibrary One thing highly notable to me... is just how much of this story feels divorced from the reality. It's like a creepy pasta... that mentions a real place... but doesn't know anythign about it.
I don't understand why nobody has stopped and said, "Hey, why don't we dig up the hole under the chapel and explore it with modern technology?" Drives me crazy.
yeah i really like the legends, but what about TODAY? surely somebody must have tried to reach the bottom? i have to know about that, otherwise i feel treated like a child. analogous for being unable to see the forest for the trees, here i can't enjoy the mystery for these oversized question marks. i've heard about houska before and had that problem before.
Bc that’ll dispel the myth that there’s nothing there, just a big empty hole. The very worst is that it was a plague pit, or something where they disposed of diseased animals and people. Just maybe there’s the remote possibility that they put deformed people and animals down there, and the mentally disabled. Thinking they were diseased, or possessed by the devil. Where they bred with each other, producing ever increasingly malformed offspring. Perhaps they even bred with the animals and bc there’s rare chemicals, gases and radioactive rocks down there, they produced something beyond horrifying. There could be endless tunnels and caverns down there. Have you seen the film The Cave 2005? It’s about such a thing, great film btw.

Finally!! I've been checking daily, just in case my notifications aren't working lol. I've tried some of the other channels and they are just all subpar. None of them are awful okay, but compared to yours.... Your voice is perfect, the stories are perfect. It's my obsession
Slovakian American in the house. I finally did it, I subscribed!! So overdo but here I am. The editing, narration, and art makes for beautiful storytelling that is unrivaled in my opinion. Never stop what you’re doing, I seriously feel like you could get into television some day.
These videos are just great man.. I tell ya you just get zoned in and locked into the story that you’re telling, you do this very well. All and nothing but the best wishes to you and your channel man, you’re golden 🖤🙏 God bless
An absolutely fascinating deep dive into this location and its history. It's wildly inspiring, with its murky truths and legends so entwined... I really did feel a strange prickle about the description of modern day from someone who could not fathom just how the future would turn. A lot was promised at the beginning of the video, and by gods did was it delivered.
Regarding "left handedness", in magic left hand path is the path of evil if I'm not mistaking. Meaning, that magic can be used for good, as well as for evil. There's for example a song made by the Symphonic Deathcore band Mental Cruelty called "Left hand path" that made me curious and looked it up, and that's how I found out about it. Excerpt from Wiki: This terminology is used by various groups involved in the occult and ceremonial magic. In some definitions, the left-hand path is equated with malicious black magic, while the right-hand path is equated with benevolent white magic.
From my (admittedly limited) understanding, the left hand path isn't necessarily evil. Its more focused on aiding the practitioner rather than the right hand path which is more focused on helping others and generally being benevolent. So not strictly evil, but more likely to be used for bad reasons due to the potential focus on personal gain.
@@TheTapeLibrary Thanks for your input, Wikipedia is by no means a reliable source of information, but I read the same at some forum thread so I was content it was right. But of course there can possibly differ a bit, also since people could have different beliefs of what is or isn't evil, benevolent or selfish. Now when I have your attention, I'd like to thank you for all the great stories on your channel, I hadn't heard about this one before. Writing this just made me think about a story of a rune stone in Björketorp, Sweden that is damned. I first heard about it from the channel The Cryptic Chronicles Archive. You can find it there and it's only 6 min. I'd love to hear it if you can find out more about it.
@@sykoteddy Oh yeah, I'm not saying you're wrong as such. i think it often is used as a reference to 'evil' magical practices, but it just doesn't have to always mean that is all. Thank you so much for the kind words, I will check out that video! Always interested in covering more European folklore, some of the favourite stuff to get into.
What does it mean if you're left-handed and born on International Left-handers Day and a direct descendant of the famous left-handed Kerr clan of Scotland?
This isn’t usually my cup of tea as a subject, but I found the whole thing more interesting that I thought it would be and more compelling thanks to the narrator.
I never heard of this before... makes me want to go, except we are already living in interesting times. Not sure I want a glimpse of the future lol. Present is quite enough. Great narration.
A glimpse of the future: sneezing is considered racist and patriarchal, and young boys are encouraged to jump off of tall buildings to be in touch with their inner super heroine.
The headless horse reminds me of the "Mula sem cabeça", a creature from Brazilian folklore (it might have come from Europe since it relates to Catholicism and not our natives beliefs). I used to have nightmares about it when I was a kid hahahahhahahaahaha Great video!!!
@@johngordon4138 it is actually a headless mule in the folklore, I researched it afterwards hahahahah In the place where the head should be, instead of blood, it has flames coming out of the wound.
Want to try and have a bit of variation on geography. A lot of the American stories just have so much written about them it makes it a little easier. Will be coming back to Europe though!
First time I ran into this channel great job dude I will definitely be back for the next one 👏 it’s like the one saying u are taught in school when ur teacher is trying to tell u when writing a book to catch the people reading u sir got that assignment very well 🎉
Wow! This was very interesting. Could you please do one on Chillingham Castle? I remember Alan Robson telling the history of it on Scariest Places on Earth, and I became entranced with the place. I'd love to hear more about Chillingham Castle.
Always try to make them as long as i feel they need to be rather than aiming for a specific length. Will 100% be some longer ones coming on the horizon though.
I love learning about history. Especially paranormal history. I'd love to go see the Czech Republic for a while to experience the people and culture myself. If I knew someone there, I'd move for a few months or longer, since I don't need to work unless I want to or have a reason to. I don't know much about them and would love to know more. Maybe I'll start planning a short trip. But I'd love to check this area out.
The fact that it was limestone explains the bottomless nature of the pit: sinkholes form in limestone because years of rain actually slowly dissolve the rock. It's very common for sinkholes to go so far down, and be so dangerous, that people can't find the bottom.
Its interesting but occult symbolism is still alive and well today in the West, however its far less obvious. For example, some of Washington DC's and Paris' main streets are laid out in a pentagram shape. Capitol Hill and its grounds (when viewed from above) take the shape of an owl; this US secret symbolism is also reinforced by a tiny owl hidden in the US dollar bill. Many of NASA's spacecraft are named after Egyptian gods. All of this shows that occult symbolism is still alive and in use today by the shadowy powers that be.
@@muppetb.lansing8374 Not so subtle lately. The eye/pyramid symbols are everywhere in the media and advertising, not to mention the 6s. The forces of evil have never been stronger.
@@muppetb.lansing8374That’s true to some extent but the pentagram also represents many different things - for instance it can also mean the wounds of Christ .
Enjoyed this one, bud! Never heard of this story before, usually stories are from UK and USA but not a lot from mainland Europe. I've played thus 2 times already, the last ones I did that with were the Wales one, and the UFO UK with the American witnesses story. Love those, cheers!
You guys have animals and insects that scare even the evil! Crocs are the worst of anything coming close to shores and those venomous spiders; oh no.. even entities are like no this is no good
I absolutely love your videos man! Im a huge fan of this type of content, unfortunately there's alot of overlap between similar channels doing the same story, but you manage to find stuff ive never heard about or that nobody else has made a video about! You keep pumping out the awesome content and I'll keep watching, I promise you that! Much love my friend, toodles! 😂
I'm not quite sure what to make of the hole under the castle, but you made mention of the design of the castle being a cube within a cube, within a cube; which is (supposedly) what a tesseract is. This is, of course, a bit of intriguing speculation, but tesseracts are supposed to be able to facilitate some sort of time travel, if you're into quantum physics. (I'm not very well versed in such things.) But it would explain the time slips in some fashion. Still, very interesting stories.
I'd heard of the chapel built over a supposed portal to hell, but didn't realize that was Houska Castle. Thanks for sharing. I hope you can do more videos of ghost stories and legends from Eastern Europe. There's a lot of material there that doesn't get much coverage
This video gives me the creeps. So well done. I'm positive that Houska Castle was a hotspot for all kinds of black magic and evil doings. I'd like to visit it some day to confirm my suspicions, but obviously during the day and with a big group lol.
Hope you all enjoy this one! As I said, had a lot of fun putting this one together so thanks once again for all those who requested it! Always open to taking ideas for videos you all want to see.

Because its a cash cow. Making it "scary" attracts uneducated tourists.

That’s not a complaint or anything tho!! Your content is great as is!
Always try to make them as long as i feel they need to be rather than aiming for a specific length. Will 100% be some longer ones coming on the horizon though.
I love learning about history. Especially paranormal history. I'd love to go see the Czech Republic for a while to experience the people and culture myself. If I knew someone there, I'd move for a few months or longer, since I don't need to work unless I want to or have a reason to. I don't know much about them and would love to know more. Maybe I'll start planning a short trip. But I'd love to check this area out.
you can actually visit the castle if you want to, I think theres ghost tours too
That would be so fun
Ive not heard of Castle Houska . The tales about it were thought provoking and interesting.
I love Houska Castle. I wish they would investigative it like skinwalker ranch
Another excellent story/stories. Thanks.
Thanks for listening!
well now my sick ass will fell a bit better with your video, I've been watching some of your old videos and they're really enjoyable and intresting.
Thank you! Hope you feel better.
12:48 Left handedness was deemed as evil - the word 'sinister' comes from the word 'sinistre' or left handed
I absolutely love your story telling skills. Thank you!❤
Thank you for watching! Really appreciate it
I hadn't heard of any of this but I definitely enjoyed it ❤️
The fact that it was limestone explains the bottomless nature of the pit: sinkholes form in limestone because years of rain actually slowly dissolve the rock. It's very common for sinkholes to go so far down, and be so dangerous, that people can't find the bottom.
Wow, what a fascinating story of an area steeped in both history and mystical legend! I really enjoyed hearing about this one.
For the algorithm! ❤ brilliant documentary 👏 ..... love the love you put into this channel ❤️
Thanks again!
Outstanding, a new one, thanks heaps
I heart you! Another smashing video. Cheers Governor!
No worries!
Your right Himmler was by far the most Occult obsessed . Hence the runic symbols on uniforms and weapons .
Its interesting but occult symbolism is still alive and well today in the West, however its far less obvious. For example, some of Washington DC's and Paris' main streets are laid out in a pentagram shape. Capitol Hill and its grounds (when viewed from above) take the shape of an owl; this US secret symbolism is also reinforced by a tiny owl hidden in the US dollar bill. Many of NASA's spacecraft are named after Egyptian gods. All of this shows that occult symbolism is still alive and in use today by the shadowy powers that be.
@@muppetb.lansing8374 Not so subtle lately. The eye/pyramid symbols are everywhere in the media and advertising, not to mention the 6s. The forces of evil have never been stronger.
@@muppetb.lansing8374That’s true to some extent but the pentagram also represents many different things - for instance it can also mean the wounds of Christ .
Never heard of it. Horrifying, fascinating.
Thank you so much for this interesting documentary. I'll have to read more about it when I have time.
I'm new to this story. A good one steeped in history with locals (whether real or merely embellished 😊). Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice. Spooky castle stuff!
i love your videos so much please do more short story compilations 💕
Working on it!
Enjoyed this one, bud! Never heard of this story before, usually stories are from UK and USA but not a lot from mainland Europe. I've played thus 2 times already, the last ones I did that with were the Wales one, and the UFO UK with the American witnesses story. Love those, cheers!
glad you are enjoying them! Want to try and cover a wide range of countries when I can (my shorter stories are definitely a bit more far reaching)
We don't have old mediaeval castles in Australia. Unfortunately. Lots of other strange things, just no old mediaeval castles.
I've seen the spiders you guys get, would rather face the pit to hell
The big harmless ones we keep as pets, and feed them cockroaches.
You guys have animals and insects that scare even the evil! Crocs are the worst of anything coming close to shores and those venomous spiders; oh no.. even entities are like no this is no good
@juli8vdberg562 yeah those salt water crocs are always eating people. A doctor was on the menu just last week.
@@timhouston4470 yes I read it in our media, this year crocs been snacking on humans seemingly
I absolutely love your videos man! Im a huge fan of this type of content, unfortunately there's alot of overlap between similar channels doing the same story, but you manage to find stuff ive never heard about or that nobody else has made a video about! You keep pumping out the awesome content and I'll keep watching, I promise you that! Much love my friend, toodles! 😂
Great lil vid essay dude. Great info and research. Great narration. Very interesting.
Much appreciated!
I'm not quite sure what to make of the hole under the castle, but you made mention of the design of the castle being a cube within a cube, within a cube; which is (supposedly) what a tesseract is. This is, of course, a bit of intriguing speculation, but tesseracts are supposed to be able to facilitate some sort of time travel, if you're into quantum physics. (I'm not very well versed in such things.) But it would explain the time slips in some fashion. Still, very interesting stories.
Very interesting story! I've never heard of this castle or the history of this area. It sounds like a fascinating place and I'd love to visit one day.
They really lean into it, looks like they hold a whole host of spooky related events and ghost tours
Me neither
I'd heard of the chapel built over a supposed portal to hell, but didn't realize that was Houska Castle. Thanks for sharing. I hope you can do more videos of ghost stories and legends from Eastern Europe. There's a lot of material there that doesn't get much coverage
Well, keep an eye on the channel tomorrow night then :)
@@TheTapeLibrary Do some episodes on the domovoi and the rusalki!
Great story, one of my favourites from you👌
Thanks buddy! Means a lot
Amazing production quality
Much appreciated!
I've always wanted to know more about this! Such a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just discovered you channel today (oddly not with this video), I am glad I found it.
Welcome to the channel! Hope you stick around
This video gives me the creeps. So well done. I'm positive that Houska Castle was a hotspot for all kinds of black magic and evil doings. I'd like to visit it some day to confirm my suspicions, but obviously during the day and with a big group lol.
Glad it could bring the creeps!
Great video as always. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Wearing my tape library shirt, pressure washing. Perfect listening for today!
One of the few who owns one then! Thank you :)
@@TheTapeLibrary It's the seance one. I love it! I'm gonna get one for my lady also.
@@toecutter303 Love that! Thank you for the support
