Night Drive Paranormal Ep 26 - Someone Was Sitting at the Bottom of My Bed Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Sometimes the most unsettling encounters happen in the most ordinary places. In this episode of Night Drive Paranormal, we settle in with three true stories of strange and unexplained encounters. From a mysterious figure appearing where no one should be, to a terrifying presence at the foot of a teenager's bed and even an erm... disappearing basket holder. So turn down the lights, get comfortable, and join me for some true paranormal stories to relax to. As always, these stories were submitted by viewers and are presented as they were told to us. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there's something unsettling about hearing what other people claim to have experienced when they were alone in the dark. Welcome to Night Drive Paranormal.

Lake Ontario: The Dark Mysteries of the Great Lake Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

Lake Ontario is one of the world's great inland seas. Beneath its dark waters lie hundreds of shipwrecks, while its shores have long been associated with strange lights, ghost stories, mysterious creatures and tales of sailors who never came home. In this episode of The Tape Library, we explore the darker mysteries of Lake Ontario. From the notorious Marysburgh Vortex and the disappearance of the crew of the Bavaria, to the legend of the burning ship Nilfred and the strange story of the Sprite, Lake Ontario has accumulated a remarkable collection of stories over centuries of maritime history. We'll also investigate reports of strange lights over the lake, including a UFO sighting investigated by scientists from the University of Toronto, before turning to the lakes various monsters. And finally, we return to the real tragedy of Moses Dulmage, a young sailor who was lost on Lake Ontario during a violent autumn storm. His death became entwined with one of the Great Lakes' most enduring pieces of maritime folklore: the Witch of November. Some of these stories have plausible explanations. Others remain part of the folklore surrounding one of North America's most mysterious bodies of water. Everywhere has a ghost story. #LakeOntario #Paranormal #Mystery Learn More Legends and Lore of Lake Ontario by Susan P Gateley https://historiamag.com/the-graveyard-of-lake-ontario/ https://hauntedwalk.com/news/lake-ontarios-marysburgh-vortex/ https://astonishinglegends.com/astonishing-legends/2022/10/6/the-marysburgh-vortex https://domino.notl.com/sites/notl/NOTLCOTW.nsf/9b4d619f68caa9d385257e7d000d5b6d/68f395445ac06f4d8525803c0044fbfd/$FILE/HMS%20ONT%20Documentary%20SEPT%20NOTL%202016.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Ontario_(1780) https://www.webstermuseum.org/blog/the-burning-ship-of-nine-mile-point https://tilife.org/BackIssues/Archive/tabid/393/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2213/Stolen-by-the-Witch-of-November https://pehistsoc.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2005-jan.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the channel with Patreon - www.patreon.com/thetapelibrary Do you have a supernatural story to share?

The Strange Mystery of the Kera Object Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

In 1972, a group of children playing in a field in Kōchi, Japan, discovered something they could not explain. It was a small metallic object, unlike anything they had seen before. But according to the strange accounts that followed, this was only the beginning. The object appeared and disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It was taken away from the field, only to seemingly return. Witnesses described strange lights and an encounter that would become one of Japan's most unusual UFO mysteries. More than fifty years later, the Kera Incident remains difficult to explain. Was it an elaborate hoax? A forgotten piece of technology? Or did the children of Kera really encounter something beyond explanation? Tonight, we explore one of the strangest and most obscure UFO cases in Japanese history.

The Terrifying Mystery of Scotland's Strangest Mountain Jul 23, 2026

Show notes

High in the Cairngorms stands Ben Macdui, the second-highest mountain in Britain. But for more than a century, climbers and mountaineers have reported something strange on its slopes.

A presence in the mist. Footsteps that seem to follow from behind. An overwhelming sense that something is close by, even when there is no one else around.

Some have described seeing a towering grey figure moving through the fog. Others have reported a feeling of inexplicable fear and the sensation of being pursued across the mountain.

Known as the Grey Man of Ben Macdui, the phenomenon has become one of Scotland's most enduring mountain mysteries.

In this episode of The Tape Library, we explore the history of Ben Macdui, the strange experiences reported by those who have ventured onto its summit, and the possible explanations for one of Britain's most unsettling unexplained phenomena.

Is there something waiting in the mist? Or can the mystery of Scotland's strangest mountain be explained by the extreme environment, the human mind, and the strange effects of being alone in the wilderness?

The mountain is waiting.

The Dark Stories Behind the Worlds Most Haunted Paintings Jul 09, 2026

Show notes

Can a painting really be haunted? Throughout history, certain works of art have attracted disturbing reputations. Some have been blamed for devastating house fires, others for terrifying paranormal encounters, and a handful have become the centre of legends so unsettling that people refuse to hang them on their walls. In this documentary, we investigate three of the world's most infamous haunted paintings: The Crying Boy, the mysterious print linked to a wave of house fires across Britain in the 1980s; The Hands Resist Him, the eerie artwork that became one of the internet's first viral paranormal mysteries; and The Anguished Man, a painting whose owner claims it brought years of terrifying supernatural activity into his home. Along the way, we'll separate documented history from urban legend, examining where these stories began, how they spread, and whether there could be any truth behind the claims. Are these paintings genuinely cursed... or are they simply some of the greatest paranormal legends ever told?

The Violent Possession of Cindy Sauer | A Disturbing True Story Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we look at the disturbing case of Cindy Sauer. A story of alleged demonic possession, violent outbursts, exorcism, and the unsettling events that followed. Over the years, Cindy’s case has been featured in books, interviews and paranormal media, often presented as a dramatic battle between faith and something far darker. But what really happened to Cindy Sauer, and how much of the story can actually be verified? We trace the case from the beginning, exploring Cindy’s reported experiences, the claims of possession, the exorcism itself, and the strange details that turned her story into one of the more unsettling modern possession cases. We’ll also look at how the case has been portrayed over time, the contradictions in the story, and the lingering questions that still surround it.
