Finally after years I can actually leave a relevant comment on KZfaq 😂 Old lady here . I lived in Hythe for years and not being a car driver I used to have to use the train station in Sandling . It's got a really spooky reputation . The woodlands around have a very weird reputation many strange events . I won't go on because I am not good at typing stuff , arthritis , but it's seriously a very strange place . ❤

My wife and I just moved from Point Pleasant and there are reputable locals who still swear to have seen the Mothman into the present.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels

I am just sitting down after a huge lunch, the big solar eclipse has started in WV, and The Tape Library has an episode about the local legend! Mothman! How cool is _that_ !? Thanks, TL!! 🎉

As an American weirdo, I am very familiar with Mothman but I love hearing about cryptids from other countries! Keep this up!

Back in the 1970's,my husband and a neighbor took a large bat kite, painted flourecent eyes on it and flew it at night over a pasture. Cars on the road were stopping to look at it lol

I am a huge fan of Mothman and never once have I heard of the apparent British Mothman. Thanks for the new hyperfixation💜💜

I haven't been hyped for youtube releases really, until your channel man. Absolutely phenomenal. My fiancee is also too scared to watch these with me due to the fantastic job youve done!

This reminds of something a close friend told me years ago about what happened to her father when he was a young boy in the 1930s. He grew up in rural Ireland in County Offaly and one day he and a friend went fishing in the local area as they often did, They were aged about ten or eleven at the time. The route to the river was through a densely wooded area but the boys being local knew the area well and was probably their playground in a way. After the days fishing they decided to head home as it was starting to get dark and proceeded into the woods, they parted company at some point as the friend lived in a different direction and was a short cut to his house. My friends father carried on his journey to his home in the other direction. By this time it was almost dark but he wasn't worried as he was almost home and he knew the route well. In those days especially in Ireland there weren't the concerns that children have today ( very Huckleberry Finn I would say) As he was walking he noticed something strange up ahead but didn't know what it was and trees were blocking him a clear view. As he got closer, in a clearing he saw a huge creature he describes as tall as the trees with glaring red eyes, very long arms outstretched emanating a strange sound. For a few seconds he stood routed to the spot scared to death. My friends father was absolutely terrified and run the rest of the way home bursting into the house and collapsing on the kitchen floor in a terrible state. His mother asked what on earth has happened , he recounted the event upon which he's mother told him never to tell anyone of what had happened. My guess is that because they were strict catholic she didn't want to be ostracised by the community or maybe she feared he would be put in a asylum as was the thing in those days. Years later the village finally got electricity as there was none in the area when he grew up. It was only then that he could describe the sound of what this thing was emitting. A strange electrical sound, a vibrational hum. I'm sure there are lots of details that I've missed about this story as it has been years since she talked about it and then years before since her father told her so probably not doing it justice. I never met her father but what she describes of him as a very humble man and not prone to fantastical stories only that one thing. Do I believe it ? I don't know, but when ordinary folk talk about extraordinary things it does make me wonder.

Very interesting video , i remember watching the film they was made of this with Richard Gere called The Mothman Prophecies

Immediately after you said “emitting a high pitched noise” a car alarm went off😭😭😭

Great video as always...I believe the Mothman has also been reported in Cornwall...they called it 'Owlman'

Oh boy breaking out the mothman😂😂 love it:)

Have you ever heard of the story of the Devil visiting the County of Devon? There's a old story where you're from about the Devil visiting a small village overnight in the winter of 1855. The Devil's hoofprints were seen all over the village the next morning, on the ground walking up the side of houses and down the other side. The men of the village gathered up and followed the hoofprints for several miles. Like the houses, when the hoofprints came to a wall, they walked up the one side and down the other, when comimg to a creek the hoofprints appeared to walk right up to the edge of the waterline and appear on the other side. The prints were even melted into an exposed led sewage pipe. Maybe you can do some research on this story and make a video of it?

I’ve always found the Mothman fascinating. I grew up in a small Missouri town very similar to Point Pleasant. It was full of hard working blue collar families that were part of a tight knit community, people like that could care less about nation wide attention and certainly don’t want the embarrassment of bringing negativity to their town if they were found to be dishonest. I understand there’s bad apples in every socioeconomic group and community, however I find it highly unlikely that individuals with nothing to gain would fabricate quite similar accounts. Just found your channel this morning and it’s amazing stuff man! Keep it up

Dean Koontz books about Odd Thomas comes to mind every time I hear about the mothman. The shadows that flock to a place where a tragedy is to set place, following perps etc..

I would love a video on the other mothman sightings especially chernobyl, or just a video on all weirdness in chernobyl

1) as a bit of a mothman 'fan' I loved this, I'd never heard of it either 2) don't worry about the length, mate, you got a good 25 minutes out of it, that's more than enough.

I’m one of those “weirdos” that likes to listen to creepy/paranormal stories as I go to sleep. Frankly, I’d listen to basically anything you read just so I can relax to your voice (that accent!!!) It would be heavenly if you ever get into reading spooky novels on your channel. Keep it going, I love your stories 👻♥️

Mothman creeps me out. Makes me think about the also-creepy Beast of Bray Road.

I love listening to your researched stories and this one especially as Hythe is very close to me and I didn't realise we had our very own Mothman legend. Thanks for yet another thought provoking story and long may you continue !

I appreciate you stating, preferring not to pad stories solely for length. Integrity has been lacking in entertainment for a while. Thank you, keep up the great work! We are all waiting, in the darkness, for your voice to soothe with spookiness ...✌️❤️

Had a real deep interest in the Point Pleasant, mine problems (then collapse?) prior to the bridge collapse story, until some documents and a whistle-blower were going to come forward. Overnight the whistle-blower changed his mind, and pulled a firearm on the journalist, and cameraman and told them to go away, rather unkindly. It was an episode in a series but I cant remember which one. Something rather grubby was going on in Point Pleasant. I've continued to research the mothman and other pre disaster areas he has frequented the world over. Can't wait to watch this one!

I remember seeing this on an old 90's TV show called Weird or What. I enjoyed that Creepy show on cable TV.📺

This story always fascinates me, no matter how many times i hear it from different channels or documentaries. Some things i get tired of but never Mothman because there were so many sitings leading up to the bridge collapse. Maybe its the real life tragedy that loans it an air of legitimacy. A being thats not quite a demon but not an immortal either. Best folklore "monster" imo.

This high pitched sound from the télévision was probably the voltage multiplier / flyback transformer oscillating at a lower Frequency than it's supposed to. I've never saw this being the cause of a cathode ray tube to implode. They don't explose as there's a high vacuum inside these tubes. Sorry for the long comment, I'm a huge vintage electronic nerd and also a technician that restore and repair that kind of stuff since 40 years ago. (Yes, I'm that old) That aside, the whole mothman story is something that fascinate me, and I didn't knew there was other case. I like your channel and found the stories and reading quite entertaining and easy to understand as I'm not a native english speaker.

A friend of mine once told me of a weird encounter he had deep in the jungle of Borneo. He was returning home from a hunting trip late one night when the engine to his boat suddenly died. He immediately noticed a bright ball of light on the river bank across him. He and his fellow hunters watched quietly as the ball grew in size while rising up from the ground like a flower opening it's petals and finally shot up to the sky. Once darkness return they kept rowing calmly further down river before giving the engine another try. It roared back into life and they left area as quickly and safely as possible without a word. As rule you don't call out at the weird things you encounter at night lest you're inviting a supernatural being over. Unless they're flying imps: if you see a ball of light streaking low above you immediately called then out and they'll drop out of the sky.

omg..i turned the lights out sat on my own with my dogs.eatin popcorn.the popcorn went flying i just could not take my eyes off this video and with your voice the way you tell it gave me the bloody creeps.nice one.lookin 4ward to your next one from uk..

Point Pleasant was perfect for us to stop for lunch some years ago while traveling from the coast back to Ohio, where we lived. It was about the time I rekindled an old hobby of mine from childhood; ghosts, cryptids, and ufos. 😁 On the flip side, there was a sort of otherworldliness about the area. Its quiet, old, main-street-America appeal masked the oddity of the mothman's existence. Could it have truly happened? This I asked myself while taking photos of us, a family of four in front of the mothman statue. Well, UFOs are a reality, why not flying men with red eyes? If anyone gets the chance to go there, stop and read the plaque, touch the statue, and even cross the bridge. Thank you, Tape Library. How about the Flatwoods? It's close by. 😉

I have only just subscribed so it looks like I have a lot of catching up to do which I know I am going to thoroughly enjoy if this one is anything to go by.

Always look forward to your uploads you always do a great job

This channel has become easily one of my favorites. Always excited to see new uploads!

Thankyou for the stories. The Mothman of Point Pleasant is one of my favorite cryptids. I have read John Keels book and it was very good . He was a very good researcher who actually went there and saw some of the lights himself.😊

Keep up the good work absolutely loving the videos

I am loving this channel! And THANK YOU for adding subtitles - I have ADHD and it helps me concentrate on the info (not to mention how helpful it is for those who are hard of hearing). I wish more content creators would actively do this!

keep up the great work, and have a comment for the algorithm

This has taken such a crazy turn 😄love this priest!!

This one convinced me,you are my favorite content creator! Hell yes , the MOTHMAN!!!❤❤🎉

Bravo!! 😊 The visuals in ur videos are top notch!! A joy to watch and listen to ur voice!! Thanks so much!! ✌🏻

Another amazing story man! I love the myth of the mothman! I really wished there were more sightings of it!

Happy to see your channel growing

This was an interesting video on a personal basis. Some years ago, my wife and I were travelling and went through Point Pleasant West Virginia, specifically because I was fascinated by the whole Mothman story, and the whole horrific bridge collapse that resulted in multiple deaths. We saw the Mothman statue in Point Pleasant. It's cool! We also came across a park with a marker over the bones of Chief Cornstalk, a Shawnee chief who was apparently murdered by American soldiers back in the 1770's. Don't remember all the details, but the story is, as I recall, the dying Cornstalk cursed the region around Point Pleasant, and some believe the Mothman and bridge collapse resulted from the curse. Thanks for your work!

Why haven’t you got yet at least one million subs? I mean, your numbers are pretty good but, man! Your quality is beyond many other channels I’ve seen! Thank you for investing so much time, work and creativity in your videos. I really hope you blow up big time!

Mothman is my favorite cryptid, mysterious and fleeting! You did a great job covering its appearance and altogether ominous presence! Are you planning on covering other cryptids?

Your channel is one of my absolute favorites. Thank you for all you do!

Most interesting and thought-provoking accounts of the British Mothman. First I've heard of this case. Thank you, Tape Library, for sharing. Cheers! Greetings from South Orange County, CA, USA 😊👍👋🇬🇧🇭🇲

Even a video short time wise, always informative & entertaining from you. Thanks again🌸🕊

5:18 all I need is one of these stories and a good joint 😂😂

I'm English and my husband is from the US. He actually has a sort of personal connection with the story of mothman, as supposedly mothman is the avenging spirit of a native American chief who actually killed members of my husbands family in the 1700s. Hopefully I've remembered the story correctly. I'd never heard of the English mothman before!

Enjoyed the content in this video thank you .

ahhh i didn’t know you were uploading today! my allergies are killing me at work so this is a great pick me up.

Looks like a good one. This channel’s really taking off! 😎✌🏻

What a great episode. You're definitely shaping up to be my new favorite ghost channel.

Thanks for researching this and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next!!

This channel always bring amazing and chilling stories.. Thanks for sharing, The Tape Library..💖

Nice! Thanks! 🤙🤙 I needed a new video to lift my spirits a little. Thanks for your hard work! 👍🤙

You're going to hate me for saying this but it's "further ado" (like "much ado about nothing") instead of "adieu", but the way that you have said it is known as an eggcorn, a subcategory of malapropisms, and it's also an example of a hyperforeignism. It's a super neat little example that you could teach a semester of a topic on linguistics through.

What great story and well told!

That music sound at the end totally creeped me out and I had to pause momentarily 😂

“Imaginatively referred to as ‘the haunted house’.” 😂 So rare to find a sense of humor in this genre, love it!

Well I managed to fit it in on my lunch break. I really liked it as I enjoy most of the stories you tell. They remind me of old radio broadcasts. I have herd the Mothman story many times over my years but as I said, I enjoyed hearing it in this creepy manner. Thank you!

The whole thing with Cryptids is a lot of fun. I liked hearing about the similar event across the pond. The similarities are quite intriguing to me.

I liked your video. Particularly, your succinct coverage of the Kent experiences drew my admiration. Thank you.

i struggle with anxiety while trying to sleep but ur voice and the background noises soothe me right to sleep haha

This was very interesting; I had no idea there were other sightings! Very well presented, looking to see more.

Love this channel.

Truly enjoy your stories, and your narration is wonderful. I do fall asleep to the channel, but always go back and rehear the story if I do fall asleep and miss the ending. I am always looking forward to the next upload! Thanks for your efforts. I love this creepy, spooky stuff. Back in the 70's, I actually went to a lecture by Lorraine and Ed Warren about the Sallie house haunting, I believe. I lived and went to high school in CT when they were just becoming popular. Thought you'd enjoy that little ancient tidbit. 💜

I love your videos and your stories never fail to grasp my attention, but the issue is your voice is so calming I have a tendency to fall asleep halfway through! 😂

Wow i’m really starting to like this channel a lot! Please keep the amazing content coming sir.

I heard about him when visiting Family members and then i moved back to the UK and then others would tell me.THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO THE PUBLIC.GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL.

Great episode 👍

This channel has grown! Good work! 👍

A similar cryptid was sighted around Chernobyl before it melted down in the 1980's. Check it out! It was called the Owl Man of Chernobyl.

I can't say I believe in cryptids, but I honestly enjoy all of the content that you present. It's well researched and delivered in a way that gives a creepy edge to the story, without sensationalising it or blowing it out of proportion. Keep it up, you do great work.

The thing that is so fascinating about events like these is the intertwining & web-like manner in which they unfold. Everything is meshed & formed together to blend into each other. The Mothman of Point Pleasant along with his counterpart in England. I do feel sorry for what happened to that family's dog. Thanks for this report & I subbed.

This channel is becoming my favourite supernatural story, never heard of this but its super creepy

Oh man, excited for this one.

Loved it mate

Just found this channel. I dig it, hence I subscribed. I don’t fall asleep to videos because I would miss most of it. Anyway, good stuff here.

I really enjoyed this, well narrated and edited! o7👍

My good friends mother, swore that she saw a horned, green man, on Sugarloaf hill, within sight from Sandling, when she was a little girl, pre WW11. The whole area is strange. Lockdown year i had 2 very strange experiences in two different old pubs, very near by which still make me think!

Another great episode. This channel is top tier my guy👍

Thank you TTL, my favourite channel. Aunt Barbara adores you! 😘

You are doing some great work TL. Im really enjoying your channel.

Late night comment for the algorithm with greetings from Germany! Already making your way towards 150k subs, I see?

I just started reading the mothman prophecys so this is cool timing

Very interesting, glad i have discovered your channel.

This is a bit of a special one for me I used to live in the old moth man sighting areas along the Ohio River in southern Ohio Kentucky and West Virginia.i was around 6 or 7 years old back then. I remember frequent sightings being brought up all the time. Only a tiny fraction of the actual sightings made it to the media. The rest was talk of the town. And I remember being genuinely freaked out by these tales especially when night fall came I recall always staring at my bedroom window just waiting to see a giant pair of red glowing eyes light up just outside the window. I'm glad I never personally got to see it! But now being 44 going on 45 Hell YES I'd love to get to witness it now!! Again you told these tales very well a very nice edition to the 📼 Tape📼 Library!!!!

i love you tape library 🥹🥹🥹

A man answered a knock at his door one evening only to be confronted by a human sized insect. It punched him in the stomach, slapped his face hard and called him obscene names, it then flew away. A warning was broadcast on the tv later that evening not to answer late night knocks as there was a nasty bug going around!😆🤣

Nice to get to know stories from the other side of the pond

If you haven't watched it, I recommend the 2002 movie "The Mothman Prophecies" starring Richard Gere. It's a fictionalized account of actual events surrounding Mothman sitings and encounters that culminate in a tragedy just before Christmas. Multiple sitings of Mothman during a short amount of time are considered a bad omen. My mom's family is from the Appalachia area, just east of the Virginia-West Virginia border, and I went to college and lived in that area for about twenty years. While I believe there are legitimate Mothman encounters, I think some are due to the consumption of illegal moonshine, which is readily available. If it's really strong, it can cause hallucinations.

Ahh, I love this story ❤

I was sat listening to this, amazed that I had never heard of it before - I live in Hythe on the South coast. Then I realised you were talking of the other Hythe on the southeast coast in Kent lol. Great telling of this tale - thank you 😊😊

I wonder if you might make a KZfaq video on Big Bird? (and no, not the 0ne from Sesame Street) PS: Tremors interfere at times with my typing. 🙄

Didn’t the solar eclipse just pass through Salem on the 8th, the day of this video release? 👁

Thank you. Brilliant channel.

Just love this channel Hello from Canada

Reminds me of mothman prophecies movie
