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 Disturbing Case of the Becker Haunting | The 1st Televised Exorcism
In 1971, America watched as a real-life exorcism played out on television.
What they didn’t see was what came before & after—the terror, the unrelenting presence in their home, the slow decent into madness.
When Edwin and Marsha Becker moved into their Chicago home, they didn’t expect the strange occurrences to escalate into a full-blown haunting. Objects moved on their own, violent outbursts struck without warning, and apparent apparitions of the dead walked its halls. They slowly began to uncover the traumatic history of their home. Desperate and terrified, they turned to a group of mediums… and ultimately, to television.
Broadcast to millions on NBC’s The Tomorrow Show, the televised exorcism shocked audiences and made history. But the haunting didn’t end there. Edwin Becker documented the ordeal in his books True Haunting and True Haunting 2, offering deeper insight into the terrifying events that unfolded behind closed doors.
His chilling account lives on—one of the most disturbing and under-discussed paranormal cases in American history. This is more than just a ghost story. It’s a haunting legacy.
