I set myself a goal this year of hitting 5000 subscribers, we’re now just 300 away from that! So please please please if you enjoy this episode click the like button and/or leave me a comment letting me know what you thought of this case! It all helps me get these videos out to more people, or better yet share this video with someone who you think will appreciate it.
Much love, I appreciate each and everyone of you that I get to hear from every time a new video goes out
❤
I was going to help out and subscribe but turns out I'm already subscribed 😅
Yep I just subscribed, so now you only need 299 more to hit your goal 😊 I definitely think that will not be a problem, with the excellent work you do ❤
I just subbed.
I will be subscribing. I like the no-nonsense approach. The stories themselves are dramatic enough without the normal dramatics some channels artificially install. A nice change. I'll be checking out your episodes in more depth.
Keep it up love this channel just found it myself and love it Subscribed and Liked 😊
The narrator can make or break these horror channels. You are an excellent narrator, sir.
Thank you!
I agree. Very engaging. Well researched.
@nospoon4799 how do you know he is using facts and not just elaborating for the sake of story telling?
@@contractzero1194 Ah like the MSM you mean?
@@nospoon4799 correct
As an avid consumer of lots of mystery/scary/paranormal content I finally found this channel to be an ultimate representation of what I've always been looking for. Been watching a lot of now very famous youtubers grow from moderately viewed channels to a wildly successful. I do not want to downplay The Tape Library by any comparisons, as it has it's very own, unique and unparalleled potential. I believe and am personally very much looking forward to watching it's well-deserved, intense growth in the near future.
This is such an incredibly rewarding comment to read. This episode was so much work but reading things like this really makes me happy, thank you!
@@TheTapeLibrary yeah!! The shadowy blueness of the pictures are just perfect man, keep em like that for real!!! It's really cool💯💯💯😁
Very well told sir
You got a new subscriber
I'll be keeping an eye out for your future content
You should also check out the unexplained podcast by Richard McLean Smith. Similar vibes to this channel. which tbh is a huge compliment to this channel haha it’s the first I’ve come across that feels similar to unexplained without being a total ripoff of it
This is definitely, by far, the best documentary on the Smurl case. Very thoroughly and accurately researched. Every other video on this case seems to leave out very important details for some reason. Thank you for including so much crucial information.
That so great to hear, thank you!
Please know that this is all demonic: ghosts, deceased people, aliens, ufo's, yeti, orbs, elves and the likes are nothing but fallen angels (demons). Born again Christians have the authority to rebuke them in the name of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST! but only within their surroundings, no human can make unclean places clean or free large areas from these entities, only prayers and sometimes fasting will help. How to become born again: Thank JESUS for paying
for your sins on the cross and HIS resurrection on the 3rd day! You must be sincere and remember that
JESUS is GOD (see John 1!

In the skeptic chapter of this video, I had seen a TED talk of a woman who went through a traumatic experience with a haunted home. She had a gone through all the things that a person would do to free their home of a presence: priests blessing the home and property, blessing the home with sage, etc. But nothing she did ever worked, the paranoia and fear and the occasional sights and sounds of an entity was always present and getting stronger. Fast forward, a friend who worked in the medical field, while listening to her story about was going on in the home, sounded familiar her to her. She asked her friend who was living in the home if she could do something for her to rule out some natural causes of such a phenomenon. One of them was to have her home tested for gas leaks. Sure enough, her home that was built with a natural gas line was leaking into her home causing many of the auditory and visual hallucinations that made the home feel like it was haunted. In fact, the build up of gases in the home was displacing the oxygen to the point that if she stayed at her home any longer she could have died. She experienced fogging thinking, lack of strength and weakness, feelings of dread and despair, feeling as though someone was watching her, etc. it could between the age of the home, the age of their natural gas lines, and whatever could be going with sewage and sewer gas leaks in the home. Could possibly contribute to the phenomena within the home. Here is the link to the TED Talk: ruclips.net/video/n8yhaFd_GpM/видео.htmlsi=D2iCpgHFqqXxONej
@TommoBoiYolol. Right? So absurd.
Yeah, the first thing I'd do when I moved into an old house would be to have it checked for gas leaks and other toxins.
@@felicitybywater8012 need to have an inspection now-a-days to avoid these kind of things. #RegulationsWrittenInBlood
Came with receipts! I love it! Well done 🥳🫵👍👏
nice
Dude is making high quality videos with such a small sub count. Gonna have to change that.
Thank you! Means a lot. People are starting to discover the channel over the last month or two which has been really nice.
Good one man
That's what I thought too.
Won't be long before the subscribers start pouring in. The thumbnail made me click on this video because ot looks professional.
I have found the channel amazing story and videos .I've had to have Catholic preist bless my home 😢 Ive had all these things done name of my son beung called he was at school
The moment that someone in the family gets sexually assaulted by an unknown entity should have been the moment the family left that house. I’d make my family live in the car before allowing anyone inside that house again. That’s crazy to me.
I agree 100% with you. I finally realized why demons never bother me. I’m kinda ashamed to say it but what the hell, here goes! Ya see, demons gravitate toward fear. They want a young vulnerable person that will be violated and full of fear. Also, a person who has lots of possessions and wealth, fear death and fear the unknown. I have nothing to offer a demon. If a demon came into my bedroom and woke me up, I’d say, “What the hell took ya?” Here’s all my bills, here’s the email saying, I’m gonna be put out of my condo for being delinquent on payments, recently my partner left me for someone else. I’m already in hell. The first thing I’d say is, here’s a roll of paper towels. You want me, I got a dog that shits all over the apartment. I hear, hell is a terrible place, if you take me and this dog, all the demons are gonna be stepping in dog shit, so, you better get used to having a roll of paper towels near you. Then, I would show the demon all the letters I got from collection agencies that day in the mail, baby, you want me, you get the whole 9 yards. Get used to opening mail like this everyday. After 5 minutes, the demon would say to his pals in hell, this guy is in worse shape than us. Let’s go next door! This guy doesn’t fear death, HE welcomes it! Now, if I hit the lottery, and I had something to live for, then, a demon could haunt me. But now, a demon won’t go anywhere near a guy like me!
And that's how you know it isn't "demons" or "ghosts"
They would still follow
Sexual assaulted by unknown entity happened to children quite a bit...here in southeast Asia..
I'd probably just look into therapy for the person claiming it. IDK, this paranormal shit is so silly to me, I don't understand how people believe this shit and are scared by it.
I listen to this stuff when I’m out driving making deliveries. I live in the greater Seattle area, which is actually very well-populated with a sprawling urban/suburban center with a population of 10 million+ people, but occasionally I’ll make deliveries out into more rural areas and even locations that are straight up in the middle of the woods, and dinner time is when things are most busy, so it’s usually in the dark. Let me tell you, when you’re driving down deserted, winding country roads with nothing but a black wall of pine trees on either side, the creeps really do start to settle in if you e been listening to stuff about demons and ghosts and whatnot. My mother called me a “masochist” for listening to this stuff while I drive but I love it 😂. Thanks for this content! You keep me from going crazy with boredom!
Thanks for watching and glad I can help!
I do the same but in SWFL! Sometimes I get scared and have to turn my stories off especially when I'm driving out by the state parks where all it is is woods and very very few street lights. Other times I get myself all scared after listening for hrs and thinking I'm seeing something out in the woods 😂😂
I've heard this story backwards and forwards and I didn't think I'd watch this whole video, but this included a lot of info I hadn't heard before...LOVED that, I could've/would've watched 2 more hours of this video. VERY well done, top notch my friend.
Haha, I’m not sure my voice was going to hold out for another 2 hours but appreciate it!
Agreed
Do you think they were really haunted?
@@michaelflores9220 don't know for sure, but personally i've always kinda thought they weren't faking it....who knows?
@@ameliashostak4764 IMO it has to be real, but thats cause I personally believe all the paranormal stories because it feels like bad luck to not believe in it if that makes sense. Like its very paranoid but Id worry if you didnt believe them that itd be asking for it and then itd happen to u. Kinda a fun thought and gives the stories another level of spooky haha
You have NO idea how excited I am to see that you have a 3-hour video of strictly paranormal stories. There are only a few channels out there that make video comps that are only paranormal stories. The ones that do don’t really have great narration. You are a great narrator and I am loving ALL of your content so far. I hope you’ll make another paranormal compilation again someday! Keep up the great work!
Glad you like them!
You're right enough, mate. Most of my favourite narrators have either pivoted to more human forms of horror, or, in the case of the Paranormal Scholar, batshit stuff about Atlantis lol
This is a niche that needs filled and TL is doing it brilliantly.
I live in this area and I remember when this happened. It was insanity with the people and the teenagers driving by the Smurl's would constantly shout out and make fun of the situation.
I feel for what the Smurl's went through if this is all true.
These parts of PA are known for a high amount of coal miners & Native American deaths through the centuries/decades.
Everything is very old. In fact, when Hurricane Agnes came through, it actually unearthed grave sites.
I’ve watched the movie ‘the haunted’ over a decade back and this video brought back memories as you’ve depicted exactly what was shown in the movie. Good job.
The editing is amazing in this video. I came for the paranormal, and I'm staying for the quality! This is such a chilling experience and really teases the topic between psychology and spiritualism.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words
This is an awesome version of this haunting. I hope they make a major movie of the Smurl family. it’s one of the scariest paranormal stories I’ve ever heard.
They did! It's a made for tv movie in 1991 called The Haunted that scared the shit outta me as a kid....GREAT movie by the way.
that movie i'm talking about is peppered throughout this video.
Yes they should make an updated version of this case...into a accurate movie version of what happened to this family 😢
@@MarcoVillarreal99Not sure how true this is, but I hear the next Conjuring movie is supposed to be about this case🤷♂️
@@caveman3021 That's a different family.
I used to have this movie, "The Haunted," on VHS. We taped it from tv. It was so scary and I have been wanting to rewatch it. Thanks for the video!
There are a couple of different channels that've uploaded the movie for free; you can rewatch it & come back to let us know what you think, after hearing the full story 🙂
😂😂😂😂Chef@@NostalgiaBrit
@@chenlou7366 Chef? I R Confused! 😳
@@NostalgiaBrit am sorry I think this happened by mistake. It's kinda spooky tho. I didn't type no comments under this video, I was watching it today. Scary🤣🤣🤣🤣 let's hope not
By far the scariest movie I’ve ever seen.The scene where Jack got attacked by the succubus gave me nightmares for years.
How many read this as the Smurf hauntings..
Quite a few
🧚
Smurf ghosts are the worst!!!
I actually read it about 4 times, seeing the word “Smurf” every time. Until finally noticing the L.
This channel is about to catch fire. I can feel it. It’s like Mr ballen , bedtime stories and the why files. Great job!😎✌🏻
Haha I would love it if it did but at the same time that feels as scary as some of these ghouls 😄
I like fat chicks
Please do not insult Mr Ballen!
Ur right!! 🎉🎉 ohh I lovvvve the why files 😊
All great channels...but that fish has to GO!
PLEASE do more with the rain sounds in the background. It is so soothing! So glad I found your channel ❤
First person who’s asked for that, would definitely make some more compilations like that though if more people want it
Yes definitely, it’s important to get the levels right, GM Danielson does this well , also the sound of a scratchy old record can make a good impression too as there are David McCallum records of H P Lovecraft he did in the 70s and these scratches and blips add so much atmosphere, check em out !
I agree with the rain sounds, although what you have isn’t bad. You can use other sounds too, but rain is super soothing.
@@TheTapeLibraryYES PLEASE ❤
THE David McCallum, of "Ducky" NCIS and "The Man from Uncle?!!"
Wow 😮 would love to hear those!
Remember "Sapphire and Steel?"
Perhaps David had a genuine interest in the Paranormal himself 🤔
Rest well Ilya...a fine Actor and Gentleman. Much respect 🙏
A sad day indeed when you went on ahead of us 😢
@@goodnightvienna8511
wow, not only a rare film but you have made a doc on it. it took me years to track the film down and im looking forward to watching this
This channel is very refreshing for RUclips. I adore the well researched, no nonsense approach. Another sub. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I spent a lot of time at my grandparents house and that house is evil. There was a back room that was always closed and from the hallway, there was this loud breathing as if someone was sleeping inside the room. A lot of bad things happened to my mom and her sisters and brother as well as some of the grandchildren. My grandfather was a wicked man as my grandmother who turned a blind eye. I hope they're in their proper place in the heart of the Earth getting a taste of eternity before they are let out to face Jesus Christ and be judged and thrown into the lake...@@TheTapeLibrary
It's about time your channel took off! I've been with you since you were in the sub 100s. Your channel is CRIMINALLY underrated and it looks like you're finally getting the exposure you have deserved for quite some time now. Well done!
Thank you, and thanks for being subscribed for so long! Been wild suddenly having all these people appear out of nowhere haha.
This is wild- RUclips randomly suggested this video to me this morning. I'm from Wilkes Barre and I didn't even know about this. It's so cool, to find something like this. Now I'm looking into it and I'm so interested. Great video!!!
Yes go watch the movie The Haunted. It's about this case.
Ooooof literal *SHIVERS* my brother!. You’re story telling, with the visuals sent a chill down my bones. I’ve had plenty of encounters with the paranormal, but I was taught to protect myself since I was very little, so thankfully nothing sort of this horrific manifestation. Extremely interesting case!. ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great story. At first I was wondering why they are all so serious in their family photographs - then I clicked - they live in a haunted house full of bad juju!👻
Literally my first thought when I saw the photos in the book 😄😄
I just got home from work and I am glad to spill and chill with another terrifying installment! Thanks, Tape Library, for the creepy fun 🖤
I just got to work and I'm already listening 😂 using my 1hr of radio time for this 😅😅
My pleasure!
This channel definitely deserves more recognition. The amount of effort put into these content is next level. 🔥
Whew! Your narration in the first few minutes of this creeped me TF out so badly I have chills!
And now 10 minutes in, it’s official, you are BY FAR the best narrator I’ve ever listened to! Re-telling popular stories like the Smurl story, in a manner in which it feels like one has never heard the story before, is incredibly difficult to do, but you, sir, have done just that! I’ve heard the Smurl story so many times, so many times that when I heard what the story was, I almost clicked off! I am SO glad I didn’t! You brought a whole new life to this story, & I cannot wait to hear the other stories! I also cannot wait to watch your other content! I’m definitely sharing your content with all the people I know who enjoy listening to stories like these! You truly are an amazing narrator!
Oh wow, thank you so much! That’s really nice.
The book about this haunting, "The Haunted," is a fantastic read as is "In a Dark Place" and the "The Devil in Connecticut." All three being about hauntings encountered by the Warrens. While the Warrens were definitely exploitive--and had borderline ridiculous ideas about hauntings vs. demonic infestation--these books were terrifying to me when I was young.
Will be getting into a few of more of those cases in the first half of next year
The haunting movie was good too. All about the Smurl family.
I remember when The Haunted (or maybe it the haunting) came out. I was 6 and I had to sleep with my sister for 3 months. Hahah
The book is awesome and I wish they would do a remake of this. Not a "Blown out of proportion" Hollywood version but an actual updated movie. The Smurl story is what got me interested in paranormal subject.
Ahhh, my people!😭 I’ve never come across anyone who remembers this movie/book, it’s not really as talked about now as other Warren cases. My mom & I watched the movie back when I was growing up, and loved it. I read the book shortly after, and probably reread it like 20 times. Definitely unlocked a few brand new fears for kid-me, lol
I have always been a believer in the paranormal and came across this channel just days ago by chance. I have now subscribed to you and look forward to watching all episodes.
Oh my! I have been listening to this while cleaning and an hour has passed already! I love this guy, it makes time pass so fast
I think the fame and the money clouded Ed Warren's mind and personality. But I still believe that Lorraine was honestly trying to help. They may have started out wanting to help, it didn't turn out that way in the end.
It seems that after they came the haunting got much worse.
@@darius_alex2043 Well, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Hauntings are complicated and the approach on how to solve them are even more complicated.
I’ve always felt like the final conjuring movie should be based on this haunting. The TV movie scared me like crazy when I was a kid.
I love paranormal stories and this was an excellent one. I just found this channel, now I can’t wait to binge them all and looking forward to new uploads. 🎉
Welcome!! Enjoy your binge watch 😄
Are these true stories?
Your voice, research, narration, everything is top notch! 👍
thank you very much!
Honestly, if it takes conmen like the Warrens making dramatic claims for the freaking CHURCH to help out people it’s supposed to love, then more power to them. I cannot imagine abandoning someone in my congregation because I thought their claims weren’t true. I am just an ordinary Christian, not ordained, but even in college I helped a friend of mine bless her dorm room and spent all night with her, putting positive energy and holy prayers into every crevice because she was scared. Part of the Church’s job is to fight the spiritual battles around us. Shame on them.
The movies called
The haunted 1991
It's free on RUclips and quite good as I remember 👌
This video is amazing - disturbing and truly scary...rare on RUclips. I've subscribed!
Genuinely warms my cold cold heart to hear this is scaring people. Thank you!
FINALLY!!!!! a channel worth subscribing to!!! Your channel will blow up in no time. Dont even worry about it.
These stories are scary enough, but your voice/narration makes them even more so.
I was listening to this story today while I was cleaning the house.
About halfway through the broom fell over in the other room (no carpet) and hit the floor with a loud snapping sound.
I swear I nearly pee’d my pants!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Love this haha! Thanks for watching
His voice is to A Haunting what Robert Stack's was to Unsolved Mysteries!
😂😂😂
I grew up in a haunted house. So l love hearing others story. When my mom sold the house the next family had their issues with the house they moved out and told their story to the news paper.
So did i..It was a new house but it was across the street from a cemetery. I would wake up in the middle of the night hearing banging noises from inside the closet door. The door knob for the bathroom once started twisting like someone was trying to open it and the floor would creak like something was walking around. My parents clearly doubted my stories. I moved out at 19 but later they told me that something was beating on the wall like it was coming from my old bedroom and apparently it lasted for like a week but only at night. Their neighbor even heard it once apparently and came over with a gun, thinking that someone was breaking in on my parents. I think about that shit often. They still live there...fck that lol
I have lived in 3 haunted houses. Only one was truly evil. I have been sensitive to spirits since childhood. My grandma’s house was haunted, and she regularly used an Ouija board. Believe me, I could tell you some scary sh*t.
People who do black magick will purposely buy a house across from the entrance of a cemetery bc the 'spirit's will come right into the house .@@horizontide568
I lived in a haunted house for ten years. We never had anything malevolent, but we had collected antiques in the past which may have attwcted some unwanted guests. It's funny because since I moved from that home my new house feels too quiet. There were always bumps in the night at my former home, but it was part of the character of the home so to speak. It almost made th e house feel more alive if that makes sense. The new home
I totally understand that. You get so used to the activity that it is weird to NOT have it. The house I lived in from age 11 to 18 was over 100 years old. We named the ghost Sarah. She was benevolent and kept us entertained. I did get mad at her one Christmas Day when my new watch went missing from an end table in the living room. I sat it there when I went to eat. We never found it. I made sure, when the house was being torn down many years later that anything found in the walls or ceiling would be saved. Sadly, no watch, but we did find a hidden door.
Another epic installment. One of my favorite episodes so far! You're doing great work, and it's only a matter of time before lots and lots of people find out about this.
You have no idea the dread I felt when I finished recording the audio and I realised I now had to try and edit an hour long video haha so I’m pleased it was seemingly worth it! Thanks for watching
I read the book about them in the 90s and it scared me so bad I couldn't sleep for two nights. Then I had my own haunting later when this young guy who was a creepy peeping Tom three doors down from me killed two women and himself. Only he never left. But that's another story.
@@moonfire41 I need to hear this story!
Here's my story: This happened in 1991 in a small one level apartment complex in Nampa Idaho. I used to have this young guy in his 20s stalk me. I was always catching him trying to spy on me through any crack of the curtains he could find. Once I hung up the phone and heard the crunching of gravel outside. I flipped the curtains and saw him hunched over and running away. If he started doing worse I was gonna call the cops or the landlady.
Cut to months later and I hear a commotion outside. I go out and my landlady is chain smoking next to my building. She is watching the ambulance loading three bodies onto stretchers and taking them away. I tried asking the cops but they wouldn't telle, but my landlady did. She said this young guy who lived there had just killed two women then himself. I moved out the next month.
Now we time skip to the next year, when I move into the same complex behind where I used to live. Everything is normal for a couple months. Then one night I'm awoken by the shadow man. He was floating above me looking down at me by just two feet or so. He had no eyes. He was made up of swirling black smoke. His body was long and skinny. His head tilted up and down like he was looking between my body to my face. What was the most disturbing was he kept making motions like he was trying to have s*x with me but I couldn't feel anything but air. I was disgusted and scared to death and screamed at him to get off me. He flew backwards into the wall and faded to a pale grey shadow. I slept out in the living room for awhile. Nothing else happened for three weeks except feeling anger coming from that room off and on.
Cut to the last incident before I moved out. This time he sat on my bed when I was sleeping. The creepiest part was feeling his weight and my feet sliding into him like he was solid. I woke myself up and nothing was there. After I moved out the next month I was glad he didn't follow me. I don't know if this was the ghost of the same guy or not.There was one more incident though.
Three years later my sister and her 5 year old daughter moved into the same apartments on the other side of where I had lived. I was babysitting for her one late night when a faint shadow appeared behind the lamp with the dimmer switch. The shadow turned the light off and on three times slowly. As long as I went there he would never leave me alone. He must have had a crush on me or something. My sister's daughter also cried soon after that down the hall so he must have scared her too. I wish I'd asked my sister if anything weird happened to them when they lived there but I didn't.
That was the last I saw of the voyeur ghost. Next time I'll share my poltergeist story, which was even more intense, and so was his presence. That one was attached to one of my friends who moved to Idaho from Massachusetts, and his presence was strong and frightening. He was not human. She used to live in the Bridgewater Triangle where she and her friends were always seeing cryptids and black robes people doing messed up rituals in the woods. They're not just urban legends. I think she picked up one of the demons they summoned because I had a panic attack almost every time she visited me. When I told her that she said she didn't know where it came from. But I'll save that for next time.
@@moonfire41 Loved reading this! Thanks for sharing
I have heard this story before before but never with so much detail, not just of the events, but with investigations, alternate theories, tv shows. Amazing. I’m kind of picky with who I listen to, they have to hold my attention and you definitely do! Thanks for the content. New sub!🖤
The book is super interesting, I think it's called The Haunted, you can google it. That one and the one about the Snedeker family are the scariest things I've ever read!
The Warrens becoming what they are now is just forever amusing to me. As a UConn student in the late 90s/early 2000s, they would come by every Halloween to do presentations. They were pretty funny with Lorraine quietly steering Ed away from rambling. They talked about possessions and the Raggedy Anne doll... and they were just interesting to listen to. Never would I have thought anything would have come of their stories the way they did. Like I say...funny to think about for me:)
I recently came across your channel. I love it! You tell the stories well and I am interested in the paranormal. I am subscribed and will be listening to your past video's. I will be sure to click the like button and share to my friends. I think you should have no problem getting to 5000 subs and beyond. Good luck!!!
Thank you and welcome!! Lot of new faces around here which is really nice.
Underrated channel. Really enjoying your back catalogue!
Thanks for watching! Hope you’re enjoying delving back into the other videos :)
Just discovered this channel. Love the narration- speaking is slow, words well pronounced, inflection is excellent. Thank you, Sir.
I found this channel and I am amazed at the level of quality, your style of narration is so good. Even though I have heard of these cases before I have learned new stuff with these videos. Excellent work!
thank you!
Just discovered this channel, absolutely brilliant!!
Thanks for watching!
I remember seeing this case on a few shows back in the late 90s I felt so bad for this family.
Just found your channel. Now I am watching all your back catalogue. Brilliant. 👏🏻 Thanks for keeping me company whilst I work from home 🙏🏼
Your in-depth telling of the Smurl Haunting is the best so far including as many details in a short time. I learned new information in this video and I have studied the case for almost 20 years. Well Done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this video and your work investigating in depth on this case. I subscribed. I appreciate your efforts and will watch past videos. I know this case and read the book years ago, but I enjoyed how you covered the case. I mostly had forgotten the details, forgotten how awful the events were. Thanks! Great job! Keep it coming!!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!
Just for a minute there I thought this was a video about a haunting by a Smurf, then I read it again 😂
Me too 😅
RUclips recommended this channel, and now I'm at work watching an incredible paranormal channel
This is so well done, you can tell how much effort and care you've put into this. Subscribed!
Hello Tape Library! I very much enjoyed this video. I listen to your scary stories compilations while I'm at work, and it makes the day fly by. I enjoyed this video, and it's clear that you put tremendous effort into your content. I love the visuals! Thank you so much!
Glad you like them!
How on earth does this guy only have 9,500 subs? Elite level content. Glad I found it.
3wks after your comment was posted and he's at 50k now 😮
@@stee8345 he’s next level talent. Without question. Hope it’s at a couple hundred k in 3 more weeks for him . I’ll enjoy him being relatively unknown for now tho.
100,000 now, this guy is awesome
There are lots of channels that feature Art Bell.
137k subscriptions Easter weekend 2024 👍

I absolutely love your work!! I just randomly came across your channel and I’ve been binge watching it
Just stumbled upon your channel and I am three episodes in. These are perfect for working and listening to in the background. Great work on these so far!
New sub here… love all things paranormal and have watched several different channels but none like this channel. I’m mildly surprised more people haven’t found it yet! Thanks for all your hard work putting these stories together. This will be my go to channel from now on👍🏼
that’s amazing to hear, thank you!
I never heard of Ed and Loraine being "shunded" by a whole town. I learned something new!! Interesting stories brother 👊🏽.......Keep em coming!
Your descriptive narrating is top tier!
I just found your channel about a week ago and it's GREAT content! Spending some time getting caught up right this moment! Keep doing what you're doing, this is fun stuff!
Awesome job, TL!! That one had me tripping, looking over my shoulder and everything!! I'm a new subscriber, and I am hooked on your content!! Keep it up, and I know you will get to those 5000 followers before the year is up !
Honestly, this one even creeped me out. I need something a bit more light hearted after having my head buried in this story for the last month haha! Welcome and I hope you stick around for a long time, got loads of fun stuff planned for next year :)
@@TheTapeLibrarydude you’re at almost 80k subs. God is definitely looking out for you.
Man I absolutely LOVED The Haunted. My favorite made-for-TV movie. Excellent re-telling of the Smurl story here, well done!
Just found your channel!! Incredible quality video and such few subs! I love your channel
This is a GREAT video! I hit subscribe so fast my finger got whiplash lol
Same! One day behind you.... gotta wear a wrist brace now lol
Remarkable video.👍 Thoroughly engaging, very well done. I have seen this case before and I would have to say, this would have to be one of the most horrifying supernatural encounters I have ever read or have seen in a documentary. Please make more of these.
Glad you liked it! Have covered quite a few other cases like this on the channel already if you want to check them out :)
Just subscribed, so glad I found your channel. Love the way you tell these stories x
Love your narration on these videos, it really draws one in. I am so glad you brought up the fact that the Warrens were a bit unscrupulous as I have read a lot about this fact and agree that although they often claimed they gave their services free, they made an awful lot of money on books and films etc.
How are you only at 10k? This is amazing.
Just found your channel today and I am totally hooked,I really like your narrative not overly dramatic thank you for that, can't wait to see more, just subscribed and hit the like button 👍
Welcome!
New subscriber! A+ for long, quality videos. The sound quality is superb as well
Well done, you certainly did your homework. I have never come across such a detailed and indepth documentary as this one. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Just found this channel. I subbed 6 min into a story. I love these. The calm and low tone of your voice makes it calming, and terrifying.
Awesome, thank you!
Classic haunting, well narrated too, I remember seeing the 1991 Movie The Haunted. It really gave me chills.
Yes I wish they would make a remastered version of that movie.
It’s interesting that these cases - or rather entities- sometimes seem to attach themselves to particular people, and when subsequent families move in to the same property, they don’t have any problems. It would be an interesting research topic, although I don’t know quite how it could be researched!
This is really good stuff. I love how the guy tells the stories and all of the visuals. Great stuff. I'm subscribed.
Glad you enjoy it!
Gosh almighty just came across your channel, and I am hooked, brilliant telling of this story! Going to watch several more of your videos , Thank you for putting your time i to making such quality videos!
Awesome, thank you!
I just subscribed!!! Absolutely enjoyed this video! Thank you for taking the time and effort!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the content! I am a new subscriber. This is great quality 😊
This channel needs more subs. Fantastic content. I shared your channel with my buddy who loves this kind of stuff
Much appreciated!
My mother lived with heather smurl in college. Shes still scared to this day she would be super sketchy at night.
Hell yeah!! This is awesome!! I immediately liked and subscribed. Keep 'em comin' !!
I am so glad this video came across my feed, So good ! Your voice is creepily hypnotizing , love it!
Thank you so much!
Subscribed! Best of luck. This was a perfect story telling, don't change a thing
Thank you!
Subscribed just the other day - I'm savoring your videos. Your calm, clear narration is exceptional. Easy to listen to, not overly-dramatized, and well researched - just awesome content.
As an aside, am I the only one who starts to cringe whenever the Warrens appear during these events? I feel it's a shame that they're so inextricably linked with the story of modern paranormal investigation.
Newly subscribed today. I love the channel!! Glad I stumbled across it.
I don’t try to sleep listening to you videos, but your voice is just so calming I drift off in the middle of whatever I am doing.
You have made an immense improvement to your channel. I remember watching your Warrens video, and thought it was pretty generic and meh, but lately quality is outstanding. The haunted farm you narrated I thought was better than bedtime stories and this one is top notch as well. Im sure your channel will blow up soon ❤
Ah thank you! I don’t tend to go back and watch the old ones, out of interest do you remember which warrens one it was? Covered a few of their cases at this point.
@@TheTapeLibrary No, I don't remember which one unfortunately, but I watched your videos from newest to oldest and I've noticed in your newest videos you are being a little more sceptical towards them and open to possibility of them being crooks, which I appreciate. I believe in paranormal, but not these 2, haha.
Which is the haunted farm ep?
Fantastic retelling of the facts. Such a great listen.
Thanks for listening
Ive just found this channel and i love it. As someone who lives in a doccumented haunted home its really interesting to hear about the methods and documentation styles. Your narration makes it very enjoyable to listen too
Are you not scared to live there ? I couldn’t live in a haunted house.
I love how long these are! I would love to know every bit of research like I’d love an abridged super long in depth version! Great work. You are a fantastic story teller
This is the best doc I’ve seen on this subject. Love your content
Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed your documentary and am so glad I came across your channel! I can't wait to binge the rest of your stuff. This poor family... I'm not too fond of the Warrens due to their reluctance to submit the evidence they claimed to have, but that doesn't mean this family didn't experience the pain, torment, and isolation caused by this entity. When you can't trust your neighbors, church, or even your own mind who can you turn to? I'm glad they got away from there.
Man am I glad I found your channel! I've heard/read this story many times, but I was completely absorbed in your video. Not a lot of people can make a well-worn tale shine like new, but you did just that. Excellent quality, fantastic storytelling - thanks!
Awesome :) thank you!
omg this is so cool to see you 3 months later from 5k to 126k !! literally reading these 5k comments and seeing your current follow count is amazing . so happy for you, you deserve it. you are Beyond talented ❤
Yeah it's bonkers but I am very grateful that everyone has jumped onboard 🙂
Great show. Channel very worthy of binging. Love your pace and splicing of film footage. Greetings from Spain.
Horrifying case forsure... great job covering it and including so much information. :) Subbed!
Much appreciated!
