The Tape Library - Archive of the Paranormal & the Unexplained

Leap Castle has been called the most haunted castle in the world.

For more than five hundred years, the ancient Irish fortress has been surrounded by stories of murder, betrayal and unexplained encounters. From the bloody feud of the O'Carroll family and the infamous murder said to have taken place at its altar, to ghostly children, the mysterious Red Lady and the terrifying entity known only as the Elemental.

But how much of Leap Castle's dark reputation is rooted in history? And how much has grown from the stories told within its walls?

In this episode of The Tape Library, we explore the bloody history and terrifying hauntings of Leap Castle in County Offaly, Ireland.

The World's Most Haunted Castle: The True Story of Leap Castle.

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.

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.

Welcome to The Tape Library.
