Stone Tape is a hauntological term originating from the television play The Stone Tape (1972) by Nigel Kneale, BBC Two. Coverley in Hauntology describes the Stope Tape theory as a 'psychic repository of past trauma'. It is something timeless, fascinating and repetitive. Thus, it can be theorised as the recording of human emotion onto stone which can be replayed through time. (2020, pp.164-171)
