90. The Poltergeist That Started in the Sky [Aveley]
vendredi 23 octobre 2026 • Durée 38:37
They drove into a glowing green mist in 1974 and lost 3 hours. What followed them home turned a UFO encounter into a terrifying poltergeist haunting.
On 27th October 1974, John and Sue Day drove home to Aveley, Essex with their three young children when a pale blue light paced their car, the radio crackled and died, and a dense, glowing green mist swallowed the road. A 20-minute drive became nearly 3 hours missing. Then came nightmares of medical procedures, shadow figures, a clown-like visitor, moving objects, opening doors, humming and clicking, and phantom phone calls, much of it witnessed by investigators themselves.
In this episode, I investigate the Aveley case. One of Britain's most disturbing combined abduction and haunting cases. As UFO disclosure and talk of non-human intelligence grows, are abductions and hauntings part of the same phenomenon? And could this be linked to the infamous Sandown Clown case, which happened a year earlier, only 100 miles away?
I'm Peter Laws and this is Into the Fog. Real paranormal cases. Real witnesses. Told by a real person.
What do you think followed them home? Let me know in the comments.

89. Icy Hands in the Dark: A Nurse Haunted by Death
vendredi 16 octobre 2026 • Durée 10:42
What if you always knew when someone was about to die? Faye has seen many shadow people since she was 5, in a mirror, in a boyfriend's bedroom, outside hospital wards, and beside her newborn son's cot.
Welcome to Into the Fog Embers, my companion series for case updates and shorter true paranormal accounts that deserve telling, even when they're not full-length documentaries.
From a grandmother's goodbye in the mirror, to a bricked-up doorway, a dead relative's message that paid for a funeral, and icy hands that may have saved a baby's life, Faye asks if anyone can finally explain it.
Can YOU?
I'm Peter Laws, and this is Into the Fog.

Our sincere thanks to Faye for sharing such a personal account of the unexplained experiences that have accompanied moments of illness and loss throughout her life, including those she believes helped save her baby’s life.
88. Police Walked In on a Mass Possession [Miami Aerospace Academy]
vendredi 9 octobre 2026 • Durée 40:46
On October 25th, 1979, Miami police and firefighters walked into the Miami Aerospace Academy in Little Havana and found hundreds of cadets in full panic.
A 13-year-old girl rigid and sobbing that "the devil is inside of me," other pupils growling and twitching, a boy who crashed through a second-floor window and got straight back up, classroom doors torn from hinges, and teachers unable to hold order.
The next day The Miami News ran it front-page as "Ouija Riot Baffles Police!"
I'm Peter Laws and this is Into the Fog.
In this episode I investigate what really happened at the Miami Aerospace Academy in Miami, Florida, drawing on testimony from biology teacher Patricia Murphy, former Miami police sergeant Lynne Brookes, deputy fire chief Frank Rollason, officer Harry Cunnill, Lt. Dan LeMay, principal Evaristo Marina, and WCKT-Channel 7 camerawoman Beverly Bryan, plus the Santeria offerings found on campus, the cursed F84 jet, and the debate over mass hysteria vs something darker.
This is a true paranormal story, never fictionalised, with real witnesses on the record.
Let me know in the comments… what do YOU think happened in that school that day?

86. News Crew Caught a Poltergeist on Camera [Beauport, 1989]
jeudi 24 septembre 2026 • Durée 26:52
Was a poltergeist caught on camera by a Canadian news crew?
Summer, 1989. In Beauport, Quebec, an entire apartment building on Mgr-Gauthier Street came alive, violent banging that shook partition walls, ragged holes punched through plasterboard in real time, and dark shadows at the edge of vision. Witnesses weren't just tenants. Police officers, gas engineers and city inspectors all felt it.
In this true ghost story, I investigate the Beauport Poltergeist, the TVA footage from August 4th 1989, what Lt. Guy Bedard and Inspector Gaston Dubé experienced, why gas, clay soil and plumbing theories failed, and the two chilling triggers: reported seances after a death downstairs, and 12-year-old Zoe's summer stay.
This is a documented poltergeist true story, never fictionalised, told from contemporary press and investigator notes.
85. They Found Crucifixes Hidden Under the Carpet [Jinn Encounter] EMBERS
vendredi 18 septembre 2026 • Durée 07:37
Her father called an imam to perform an Islamic exorcism on their house. Then builders found crucifixes hidden under the carpet.
Welcome to Into the Fog Embers, my companion series for case updates and shorter true paranormal accounts that deserve telling, even when they're not full-length documentaries.
Tonight's Embers comes from Zaynab, one of my Patreon supporters. When she was 8, her family moved into a house with a granny flat in the garden that had stood empty for a long time.
She began seeing faceless figures, an elderly man in an armchair, a figure striding toward her in the garden, later a faceless child in her bedroom. The atmosphere turned cold and silent, like stepping underwater. Her father asked a local imam to perform an Islamic exorcism. As he recited, Zaynab began shaking uncontrollably, filled with anger and an urge to make him stop.
Months later, builders lifting the carpets found several crucifixes hidden underneath. Had the previous owners, an elderly Irish Catholic couple, also experienced the paranormal in that property? I'd especially love to hear from Muslim viewers, does this fit with your understanding of jinn?
IMPORTANT: Into the Fog welcomes people of all faiths and none. So just because this story features two religions (Islam and Christianity), please don't use that as a springboard to attack one faith or the other. Respect for fellow viewers is an important part of the Into the Fog community.
84. The Airmen Made a Pact to Never Tell [Keesler Air Force Base]
mercredi 16 septembre 2026 • Durée 54:53
Three airmen were ordered to guard the Triangle at Keesler Air Force Base, Biloxi, Mississippi in 1980. What they saw, shook them enough to make a pact. For decades they stayed silent, fearing ridicule and damage to their careers. Until now.
This is the true testimony from Kris Maddalena's The 13th Squadron.
For the first time, Kris tells what happened inside the supposedly empty dormitories: the wardrobe painted black inside and carved with an inverted pentagram, the 1 AM scream that returned like clockwork, chanting from inside the walls, the mysterious fire breakout at a heavy metal concert on base, and the pale figure with a butcher knife that stood beside his bed.
Locals have long whispered about everything from Satanic activity to UAP sightings along the Gulf Coast (the The Pascagoula alien abduction happened nearby, and the experiencers were examined on this very base). Yet what happened in the Triangle to these three Airmen is a frightening yet untold mystery.
A huge thank-you to Kris Maddalena for trusting us with his story, sharing his memories (including having President Donald Trump as his landlord at Trump Towers, New York) and photographs, and also for being so generous with his time while we put this episode together.

83. DOGMAN [8 True Encounters That WEREN'T Animals]
lundi 14 septembre 2026 • Durée 40:29
Eight true encounters with creatures that weren't animals.
Real witnesses describe skinwalkers, dogmen and wolf-like creatures that stood upright, stared back, and were never explained.
These were not simply animals, or even cryptids: witnesses describe something that behaved like a paranormal, non-human entity.
These are NOT fictionalised horror stories. Every account here is a documented report of the unexplained, told in the witness's own words.
And keep watching this episode to hear about the very spooky phone call Peter had, during the making of this.
Special thanks to writer and researcher Paul Sinclair, author of the Truth Proof series, for generously allowing us to feature two stories explored in Wolf Lands, use footage from the documentary’s trailer, and for the fascinating conversations with Peter that helped shape this episode.

82. Buying This House Was His Biggest Mistake (Fatal Fixer Upper Enhanced Version)
samedi 12 septembre 2026 • Durée 43:49
*This episode is a newly enhanced re-release of one of my earliest cases. Originally told in two parts, it’s now combined into one complete, updated edition, with new visuals.*
In 1969, a property developer thought he’d found the ultimate "golden house", a bargain farmhouse with 26 acres of land. But the local estate agents had a warning: the property was haunted.
In this episode, Peter Laws uncovers the terrifying true account of Alec Porter and the "Fatal Fixer Upper."
What started as a dream renovation project quickly spiralled into a battle for survival against a malevolent force.
From concrete objects being thrown with lethal force to the discovery of a hidden room containing a tall, black, chattering entity, this case remains one of the most distressing paranormal encounters in British history.
We dive deep into the research of journalist Colin Parsons, exploring:
The "tall, dark spectre" seen stalking the country lanes.
The chilling moment a hidden room was breached, releasing a horrific black vapor.
The physical evidence left behind, including a scar from a flying religious relic.
The shocking connection to a modern housing estate where a patch of land remains undeveloped to this day due to a string of fatal construction accidents.
Is it possible for a jealous entity to hold onto a patch of land even after the original house is burned to ash?
In the sweltering heat of the legendary 1976 UK heatwave, a different kind of horror was unfolding within the walls of a quiet British farmhouse.
While the country baked under an unrelenting sun, the inhabitants of the Hunt house were discovering a secret so sadistic it has remained largely unheard of for decades.
In this episode of Into the Fog, Peter Laws deep-dives into the chilling case of a woman bricked up alive, a tragedy born from a "sin" the church tried to bury.
We explore the haunting accounts of the crying behind the walls, the dark history of a nun’s secret, and the malevolent atmosphere that gripped this isolated rural home during one of Britain's most extreme summers.
In this video, we investigate:
-The true story of the 1976 Hunt House mystery.
-Why a woman was walled up alive inside a farmhouse.
-The connection between the "Sadistic" events and a hidden religious secret.
-First-hand accounts of the haunting that occurred during the 1976 heatwave.
