  6. 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 ❤

  7. 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.

  8. 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!!

  18. Newly subbed. I appreciate the skeptical tone in regard to the warrens. My opinion on them is that they were charlatans who capitalized on the satanic panic. No investigation done by them should be lent any more credence than less known investigations. Do I think it's possible they did get involved with real cases of paranormal activity? Sure, it's possible. But, I'm very skeptical of their work as a whole.

    On a side note, have you heard of the Palmyra wolves? I'd be interested in hearing you cover that case! It's less known and definitely weird. Definitely creepy as well.

  25. This haunting, the way it's all described as well as the attacks & sorrounding events witnessed & experienced by this family reminds me so much of what's happening to Kent & his family over on the Ghosts of Carmel Maine youtube channel… If you aren't familiar w/the channel, for the last 5 years Kent Burris (a retired construction contractor) has been documenting the daily happenings inside of his home, deemed "The Lamb House" as it was constructed in the early 1900s & owned by a man named Edmund Lamb, who operated a mortuary in the home. The theory is that back when Edmund ran the mortuary/funeral-home, as a highly respected town figure & 33rd degree freemason, he took part in & performed ritualistic murders & desecrated corpses in the basement of the home, which in turn opened a portal of sorts, where demonic beings & restless spirits enter & exit the home, leading to a demonic infestation. He's captured mountains of evidence on film over the past 5 years, some of it being the most bizarre & unusual images & instances of paranormal occurrences I've ever seen. The most interesting thing about Kent's channel, is that while documenting & gathering evidence, Kent never once asked for subscribers, ran adds, plugged a Patreon or monetized a single aspect of his channel, despite garnering 300k + subscribers. It wasn't until a year ago he decided to monetize the channel, stating the only reason he even did so was to afford new equipment to enhance the investigations & over the course of 5 years, has maintained an open-door policy for investigators or debunkers to come see for themselves, which due to the consistent foot traffic has caused damage to the home that he's had to repair. Up until he started to recieve donations, he was using an old, bare-bones PC & (not even kidding) window's movie maker to edit together his videos, which totally eliminates any possibility of CGI or post-production manipulation of the footage he uploads furthering the validity of his footage. Meanwhile the things he's managed to capture are w/out question some of the most interesting & difficult to explain pieces of evidence to ever exist. If you're interested in checking out his channel i highly suggest starting w/his Ghost Chronicles series, as it serves as a sort of greatest hits time-line of events where Kent researches & connects the causes & identities of the spirits/entities he's encountered in a way that I've never seen done before by any investigative team or haunted location. He's actually going through a ton of hardship at the moment, & he's convinced it's related to the demonic entities in his home, so if you are interested, please go support & donate to Kent. He's a genuinely good & honest man, & he's doing everything he can to remedy the situation at the moment, while dealing w/deaths, injuries, illnesses – pretty much everything that could go wrong to 1 person has, & it's not just him being affected but his family as well.

  26. I have got this incredible movie in my collection, I think the Smurl family's experience with their horror house was more frightening then the Amityville Horror, it took them about 17 years to get rid of the demons , and certain people say ghosts and demonic things don't exist.

  30. There is a good reason why psycology was long considered a pseudoscience. It may be because, similar to how paranormal activity can not be proven to those who don't experience it, psychologists also try to attribute EVERYTHING abnormal to simply being in the minds of people, without anymore scientific proof than the paranormal theories have. It's all THEORIES either way. People, over the years, have just been conditioned to believe that it is more science backed than it is.
    Psycology is basically seeing the repeating of symptoms & behaviors in multiple people.
    Similarly, a haunting, or a demon infestation, is determined by the observance of a similar set of activities or behaviors in multiple places.
    The 4 criteria for determining possession are 1) sudden speaking of unknown/unlearned foreign language, 2) hidden knowledge – knowing of private things, 3) obversion to holy things, 4) dammit I can't remember, but it may be physical attacks, like scratches, wounds, bruises, etc, appearing on the body out of thin air. I personally think that levitation should be included in the Catholic's list of criteria, but whatever. But of that list, there's is only one of those that psychology COULD explain, but priests can test against that also, just by being sneaky.
    And psychology doesn't explain how exorcism often CURES what psychologists claim is mental illness.

    I think I think too much.
