They said it was just a story. A haunting someone imagined. A light in the sky with a rational explanation. Just a noise in the walls. A mistake, a hoax. But over the years these stories seem to persist. And not all of them seem to have easy answers. This is The Tape Library. A collection of the paranormal, the strange, and the unexplained. Each episode examines a different case. These are the stories that keep me awake at night wondering "what if...". Told through immersive documentary style narrative, firsthand accounts, and whatever evidence still lingers. First, we hear the story. Then, we try to understand it. You might not believe all of it. You’re not supposed to. But everywhere has a ghost story. And someone needs to keep the record.

    The Terrifying Mystery of Alaska’s Bay of Death

    Thomas Bay, Alaska — a remote stretch of wilderness once feared by prospectors, avoided by Indigenous communities, and whispered about as “Devil’s Country” or “The Bay of Death.” In the early 1900s, a prospector returned from this isolated region with a disturbing warning. He claimed to have encountered something unnatural deep in the forest. There were small, foul-smelling figures emerging from a hidden lake. An experience that left him shaken, traumatized, and unwilling to ever return. But he wouldn't be the only one to encounter the strangeness of this place. Thomas Bay appears to be a place where madness can take hold. Years later, his account was preserved by writer Harry D. Colp, and eventually brought to light by his daughter, helping transform Thomas Bay into one of Alaska’s most unsettling legends. In this episode of The Tape Library, we investigate: The true story behind Thomas Bay Harry D. Colp and the origins of the legend The prospector’s various terrifying accounts Indigenous folklore and the Kushtaka connection Psychological, environmental, and rational explanations And why this remote corner of Alaska still carries a reputation for dread Is Thomas Bay simply an unforgiving wilderness shaped by fear and isolation?Or is there something about this place that people were never meant to understand?

    Over 8000 of you voted on your favourite episodes of The Tape Library in 2025 and for the next few weeks we're going to count down the top 3. In third place it's Gef the Talking Mongoose... Was he a spirit, a hoax, or something else entirely? Gef the Talking Mongoose is one of the strangest paranormal cases ever recorded. In the 1930s, a small family on the Isle of Man claimed they were haunted by a mysterious talking creature with a mischievous personality. Some believed he was a ghost, others thought he was a cryptid, and skeptics called it a hoax. But decades later, the mystery of Gef remains unsolved.
