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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

If you’d like to read the full story of Kris’s experiences at Keesler, do check out his book, The 13th Squadron: Unexplained Activity Inside the Keesler Air Force Base Triangle.

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.

*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.

"Don't go into any room that doesn't have a light on."

When 8-year-old Anthony Key visited a friend’s house in North Carolina, he was given a simple warning. But what he saw, and what followed him home, would spark a decade of terror that his family is still trying to process today.

From heavy furniture moving on its own to a physical attack that left a red handprint on his face, this isn’t your typical ghost story. It’s a relentless, visceral ordeal with multiple demonic creatures that feels like a real-life horror movie. If you’re a fan of the brutal, high-stakes terror in "Evil Dead Burn" or the psychological dread of the Insidious movies, the Anthony Key haunting is a forgotten case you need to hear.

In this episode of Into the Fog, we explore:

• The horrific text messages, following a mothers funeral. 
  
  
• The terrifying "ceiling crawler" that Tabitha encountered.
  
  
• The DogMan at the window 
  
  
• The laughing demon at the trailer park
  
  
• The 250lb armchair that moved on its own.
  
  

Prepare to walk into the fog for a paranormal case that will get under your skin.

Brace yourself for a little discussed haunting that shook a local church, and became a teaching tool for priests. In 1965, the Acton Vale Poltergeist didn’t just terrify a family, it forced three Catholic priests to admit they were witnessing something truly beyond explanation. They believed it was a demonic infestation.

In this episode, we dive deep into the verified archives to uncover the aggressive and violent phenomena that targeted a young girl and the men of the cloth who stood their ground against it. Was it a haunting, or something DIABOLICAL? 

Note: This case features a Catholic/ Byzantine religion painting called #OurLadyofPerpetualHelp. The painting was said to be alive, which makes it so weird that I got comments saying that today (the day this came out, June 27th) is the feast day for this very painting. That was totally not planned. Of all the days. Isn’t that a little eerie?

In this video, we explore:

-The eyewitness accounts of the three priests on the scene.
-The violent physical manifestations that defied the laws of physics.
-The chilling aftermath and it's implications for us.

If you enjoy paranormal cases and deep-dive supernatural mysteries, make sure to subscribe and turn on the bell icon to never miss a journey Into the Fog.

On the 50th anniversary of the classic anti-Christ, demonic film 'THE OMEN', this video, and its religious horror themes, will be a fitting topic to explore.

For decades, visitors to Beacon Hill Park reported seeing a woman silently screaming on top of a rock. A figure that shouldn't have been there. It wasn't until months later that the chilling truth emerged, and it was linked to the dreadful murder of a local in Victoria, British Columbia.
In this episode of Into the Fog, we explore one of Canada’s most baffling paranormal mysteries that appears to be linked to a true crime. 

• The "Silent Screamer" of Beacon Hill Park: A timeline of the sightings.
  
  
• The tragic case of Donna Mitchell and the "Negative Image" doppelgänger.
  
  
• Can a location be haunted by an event that hasn't happened yet?
  
  
• The witnesses who thought they were seeing a living person, only to realise the impossible truth.

Fox Hollow Farm is a beautiful 18-acre estate in Indiana, but beneath its scenic surface lies a history of unimaginable horror. When Robert and Vicky Graves moved in, they knew they were living in the former home of notorious serial killer Herb Baumeister. What they didn't know was that the darkness he left behind hadn't gone anywhere.

In this episode of Into the Fog, we explore the chilling paranormal legacy of Fox Hollow Farm. From the "man in the red shirt" haunting the treeline to the terrifying encounters in the indoor swimming pool, we delve into a haunting that raises a disturbing question: Is the house haunted by the victims, the killer, or something far more sinister and inhuman?

In this video, we discuss:

• The horrifying discovery of over 5,000 bone fragments on the property.
  
  
• The "I-70 Strangler" and the dual life of Herb Baumeister.
  
  
• The terrifying firsthand accounts of Joe LeBlanc and his dog, Fred.
  
  
• The "inhuman" presence detected by paranormal investigators.
  
  
• The shocking final confessions and unanswered questions surrounding an accomplice.

Is it a home intruder... or a haunting? When a shadow begins to rattle the door handle of a coastal village home and a presence watches from the window, two teenage girls are left in terror. While the police dismiss the threat as a simple burglar, the paranormal activity only escalates.

In this true scary story, we explore the Alnmouth haunting, featuring a chilling encounter with a "floating head" on the staircase and a local medium who delivers a warning that changes everything: "Leave him outside."

This isn't a standard ghost story. It’s a battle for the threshold of a home against an entity—perhaps several—that refuses to move on. Join Peter Laws as we step into the fog to investigate this unheard UK haunting.

In 1974, a small house on Lindley Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut, became the centre of one of the most well-documented paranormal investigations in history. But this wasn't just a story told by terrified residents. It it was witnessed by the local police, fire fighters, reporters and priests. 
Join Peter Laws as we step "Into the Fog" to examine the Bridgeport Poltergeist. We delve into the police reports that describe furniture moving of its own accord, objects levitating, and a level of chaos that left seasoned officers questioning reality. Why did authority figures risk their reputations to report the impossible? And what really happened behind those doors? I also explore this cases link to controversial investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, sharing my own thoughts on them. 
We explore the chilling eyewitness accounts and the investigative files that make this case a cornerstone of paranormal history.  
In this video, we discuss:
The official police testimony from the Lindley Street haunting.
Eyewitness accounts of unexplained physical phenomena.
The legacy of the Bridgeport Poltergeist in the world of the supernatural.

In 1990, Samantha Fairweather moved her family into a grand mansion converted into quirky apartments. Their top-floor home came with a strange feature: a narrow wooden balcony that led to a complete dead end. It was here that the unsettling activity began.

First came the footsteps—heavy, deliberate stomping that echoed past their bedroom windows late at night. But every time they rushed to the door to confront the intruder, the balcony was empty. With nowhere for a person to run or hide, the family was left with a chilling question: who, or what, was walking outside their door?

The mystery only deepened when a personal object vanished from a locked room, appearing moments later in a neighbor's flat under impossible circumstances. But nothing could prepare them for the night the entire structure changed forever.

Yet the situation would grow worse, leading to one shocking night of catastrophe.

Join Peter Laws as he explores a true story of haunting anomalies, and a building that refuses to stay silent.

In this video:

The enigma of the heavy footsteps on a dead-end walkway.

An impossible "teleportation" that left two families baffled.

The catastrophic event that defied engineering logic.

Talk of the abandoned mansion, which still "glows" at night today.

I guarantee that you have never heard this chilling haunted house case before. It began in Kentucky in 1977, with a Ouija board session, which seemed to unlock a series of terrifying events witnessed by the Green family. Strap in for a series of truly unique and nightmarish events, including a spine-tingling phone conversation with a presence that somehow called from inside the house. 

This case took place in the Dixie Housing Project, Prestonsburg, in the mountains of eastern Kentucky: just 0.7 miles from the site of a catastrophic 1958 school bus disaster. Could there be a chilling link?

These events are never fictionalised. 
The witnesses are real. 
The locations are real. 
And as of today, none of it is fully explained.

A forgotten 1889 haunting… a violent poltergeist… and a voice that claimed to be the Devil.

In this episode of Into the Fog, I uncover one of the most disturbing and little-known paranormal cases in Canadian history: The Dagg Farm Haunting.

After finding a long-lost book and cross-checking it with historical records, I’ve pieced together a chilling story of a rural family in Clarendon, Quebec, whose quiet farmhouse became the centre of terrifying supernatural activity.

We’re not just talking about moving objects or strange noises.

This case includes:
 • Spontaneous fires 
 • Windows shattering with no cause
 • Objects flying violently through the air
 • Human waste mysteriously appearing across the house
 • A young girl physically attacked… her hair torn from her scalp
 • And most disturbing of all… a disembodied voice speaking obscene and threatening words

Multiple witnesses, including a visiting investigator, heard the voice for themselves. It claimed to be the Devil… and said it had been sent to torment the family.

But was this a genuine supernatural haunting… a hoax… or an invasion of some kind of demonic force. I don’t say this often, but I’m tempted to say this one is demonic. After listening all the way through, you’ll understand why. 

And after tracking down the original location and speaking with current property owners, I ask the question: Did whatever haunted the Dagg family truly leave… or has it lingered?

In 1991, a young girl named Judith flatlined for eight minutes on an operating table at Dryburn Hospital, County Durham. During those eight minutes, she left her body...and what she experienced on the other side would change her life forever.

When she came back, she wasn't alone.

What followed was decades of escalating paranormal activity: poltergeist disturbances, shadow figures, disembodied voices calling her name from the attic, and a presence that refuses to leave. Multiple witnesses, including an ex-military specialist (whom I spoke to for this episode). Judith even says that horror icon Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees himself) experienced the phenomenon firsthand, while at a horror convention.

What's more...this case is still happening today.

Special thanks to Rob Kirkup of How Haunted? and Rob of DeadAirTV for their help during our research into Dryburn Hospital, and for replying so quickly to our queries. Their expert knowledge of local hauntings, investigations, and the area’s history was greatly appreciated.

Toby grew up in a remote forest house on Rame Road, Greenhithe, New Zealand. Built on Māori land his home never felt right. Especially the stone outbuilding covered in ritualistic paintings and handprints — prompting rumours of demonic worship and witchcraft.

Then one night in the bunkhouse, it came. Tapping at the window. The beginning of a uniquely terrifying haunting, with disturbing links to a real-life double murder - told here for the first time ever.

Expect apparitions, dancing imps, and a dog-headed figure eerily similar to dogman encounters reported worldwide. But the most frightening discovery was what we uncovered about the very land on which this house stood.

What lurked on Rame Road in Greenhithe, NZ… and more to the point, does it roam there still?

Is this the saddest paranormal case ever told? 

In 1984, the Columbus Poltergeist case made worldwide headlines when photographer Fred Shannon captured what appeared to be a telephone flying across the room — with 14-year-old Tina Resch sitting right there. Was this real paranormal activity caught on camera, or an elaborate hoax?

In this episode of Into the Fog, I investigate the full, disturbing story of Tina Resch — from the terrifying poltergeist events in her Columbus, Ohio home, to the paranormal investigation led by William Roll, to James Randi's explosive accusations of fraud. But the story doesn't end with the haunting. What happened to Tina Resch in the years that followed is far darker than any ghost story.

This is one of the most documented poltergeist cases in history — and one of the most tragic.

In this episode of Into the Fog, I explore a disturbing haunted house story from 1940s England. I'm surprised this case isn't much known as it's a really interesting and unsettling story. It's about a family who move into a new council house, after being on a long waiting list for accommodation.

While there, they encounter a haunting that drove them from the house. But part of that haunting, includes the death of their new baby. So some listeners may find that part disturbing - but it's included because it became a core part of the story, after what one of the children said they saw, just before the baby's death.

I covered this story briefly in the Into the Fog Live Patreon event a few months back, but I've gone into much more depth, and (with the help of The Haunted Historian) have uncovered a collection of other experiences from the same area, and same street...possibly even the same house.

In 1945, an elderly farm worker was found savagely killed on the slopes of Meon Hill. His body was pinned to the ground with his own pitchfork. Rumours spread that this was no ordinary murder, but a ritual killing rooted in old English witchcraft. In this episode, I investigate the chilling case now known as the Pitchfork Witch Murder: the killing of Charles Walton in the Warwickshire village of Lower Quinton. I’ll explore the original police files, local folklore about the "Black Dog" of Meon Hill, and the theories that have surrounded this case for decades – from witchcraft, ancient stone circles to occult sacrifice. We’ll also look at the role of the famous detective “Fabian of the Yard”, and ask why this brutal crime remains officially unsolved.

What happens when you are trapped in a tiny apartment with a presence that wants you out? In this witness-collaborated case file, we examine an aggressive haunting that took place entirely within the claustrophobic confines of a small flat. Unlike subtle residual activity, this poltergeist-like phenomenon turned hostile, leaving the witness cornered with seemingly no escape.

We analyse the escalation of activity and the terrifying reality of a haunting in which the walls feel as if they are closing in. This is a story of entrapment and a fight for territory against an unseen force.

Most hauntings are tied to a location. If you leave the house, the activity stops. But for one man in the UK, the phenomenon wasn't attached to a building, it clung to HIM. In this true paranormal documentary, we investigate a rare case of lifelong paranormal attachment that followed a witness for decades, no matter where he moved. Based on corroborated testimony and told here for the first time, this report documents the psychological toll of a haunting that offered "nowhere safe" to hide.

We analyze the timeline of events and the witness's struggle to understand why this presence refused to let him go.

A childhood haunting should stay in the past. But when his new girlfriend moves in, the activity doesn't just return, it way more intense. Did the house wake up, or did she bring something with her?

In this episode of Into the Fog, I investigate a chilling real-life case where a dormant haunting is revived by a new presence. This isn't just a ghost story; it's a terrifying example of spiritual attachment.

For 38 years, Shane MacLeod had never believed in anything paranormal. Then one summer evening in 2008, everything changed.

A dark, crouching, inhuman entity slipped through the dog flap in his bedroom door. What followed was six months of terrifying activity.

Until now, Shane has never told this story publicly. And for this video, I have also taken a statement from Shane's son...who was present during one particularly inexplicable incident. 

Was it a haunting? A demonic presence? Or some inhuman entity we have no language for?

You decide.

In the late 1980s, an American family moved into what they hoped would be a peaceful home. Instead, their house became the centre of one of the most disturbing and complex hauntings you’ve likely never heard of.

This case reached national news, drew in priests and psychics, and even attracted a television crew. And yet, despite everything, the story slowly vanished from public memory.

Much of what we know today comes from Doretta Johnson’s remarkable book, The People in the Attic, which documents her family’s experiences in vivid and painful detail. If you can find a copy, it’s an extraordinary and harrowing read, and it includes far more information than I have shared here. This video exists in part to make sure her scary, yet inspiring story - and the suffering her family endured - is not forgotten.

Fluorescent lights. After-hours silence. And a parnormal ordeal that would never be forgotten. 
 
A viewer named Jordan worked six years in a small shop and met a presence that knocked on doors, hurled bottles, smiled without eyes… and followed people home. Tonight we dive into his story, along with the other shop workers who started to share their own frightening encounters in the store. 

Brace yourself...because you're about to meet The Thing on Aisle Four. 

To protect Jordan’s privacy, we deliberately haven’t named the town or supermarket where these events happened. The real place inspired the artwork, but we’ve kept it anonymous out of respect for Jordan and everyone who still works or shops there. Some names have been changed, as stated in the video.

For decades, the Amityville Horror has been called one of the most notorious hoaxes in paranormal history. Today, many roll their eyes at the story of George and Kathy Lutz fleeing 112 Ocean Avenue after just 28 days...especially when Ed & Lorraine Warren turn up. With endless movies, sequels, and parodies, the case has become a pop-culture joke.

But what if we’ve been too quick to dismiss it?

In this feature-length episode of Into the Fog, I strip away the Hollywood dramatics and the exaggerations from Jay Anson’s book. Instead, he focuses solely on the eyewitness testimony from the Lutz family and those directly involved: George, Kathy, their children, Father Ray, and close friends who experienced the house firsthand. You may well hear details of the case you've never heard before.

When you listen to what these people actually said (not the screenwriters or the tabloids) the picture looks different. The story of Amityville becomes less about a “hoax” and more about a genuinely unsettling haunting that spiralled out of control once the media circus began.

Join me as we grapple with the raw testimony at the heart of America’s most infamous haunted house and explore Amityville at 50: What if it was REAL after all?

And do watch until the end, for some important thoughts on how we should deal with paranormal cases in general.

 • A disturbing presence in a traditional house in Kyoto, Japan
 • A security guard’s unexplained night of chaos in the UK
 • And a chilling haunting that changed men’s personality in Indiana, USA

A forgotten ghost story, a twisted true crime...and a horrifying shadow figure we're calling 'The Bent Neck Man' as a nod to The Haunting of Hill House.

In this chilling episode of Into the Fog, we uncover the terrifying legend of Gladwish Wood — a stretch of forest in rural England once feared by locals, including author Rudyard Kipling who claimed to have a frightening demonic encounter there. What starts as a classic haunting becomes something darker, as a paranormal investigator and his team encounter a horrifying figure in the woods… a figure possibly tied to a real 19th-century criminal trial. Is it the spirit of a man wrongly condemned? Or something even more ancient, still feeding on grief, rage, and despair?

Join Peter Laws as he investigates this eerie true story where the paranormal collides with true crime, folklore, and historical tragedy. And keep watching until the end. Perhaps YOU can help join the investigation of this barely discussed, yet frightening, supernatural case.

Long before the Salem Witch Trials gripped the world’s imagination, another true story of witchcraft unfolded in the shadows of early America… and almost no one talks about it.

In this episode of Into the Fog, we travel back to 1651, to the Puritan town of Springfield, Massachusetts, where a man named Hugh Parsons was accused of witchcraft—and his wife, Mary, would soon accuse him of consorting with the Devil. What began as whispers about cursed milk and phantom visions soon spiraled into one of the most disturbing—and forgotten—witchcraft cases in early New England.

Was there truly something evil in the woods…?

Special thanks to historian and author Malcolm Gaskill, whose extraordinary book The Ruin of All Witches inspired this episode.
Malcolm also kindly supplied several historical photographs that appear throughout the video. You can read the full story in his book 'The Ruin of All Witches'

A group of UK Bible college students hike up the Malvern Hills one Halloween night to pray over their town. But what they find on that hill—and what followed them home—changed everything.

In this chilling true story, you’ll hear the terrifying encounters of Josh, a former theological student who never believed evil could walk so close. Shadow figures with impossibly long fingers… a locked wardrobe that opens on its own… and a horrifying phone call filled with screams. And just when he thought it was over—ten years later, the thing returns.

Then, near the end of the episode, I share a disturbing historical incident I discovered. Could this terrifying ordeal connect to an ancient murder—and a monk whose blood still stains the ground?

#DodlestonMessages  #HauntedComputer  #ParanormalInvestigation 

Did a ghost, alien—or something else—make contact through a 1980s computer?

In this episode of Into the Fog, I explore the astounding case of the Dodleston Messages—one of the most baffling paranormal incidents ever recorded.

In 1985, a man named Ken Webster began receiving eerie text communications on a BBC Micro computer. The messages appeared to come from someone living in the 16th century. But over time, the communications grew more complex, hinting at ghosts, time travel, UFOs, and possibly even non-human intelligence.

This episode draws not only on the original account, The Vertical Plane, but also on material from the updated edition, which includes new details and clarifications not included in the first release.

Whether you’re familiar with the case or hearing about it for the first time, this video offers a fresh look at one of the most haunting and unexplainable stories in paranormal history.

Was it a hoax? A haunting? Or something far stranger that defies logic?

Listen to the end—and decide for yourself.

When Keith Linder moved into a quiet Washington home, he never expected to become the centre of one of the most bizarre — and controversial — haunting cases in modern history. Known as the Bothell Hell House, this story includes walls marked with strange symbols, objects thrown by unseen hands, chilling whispers, and one man seemingly singled out for torment. 

Ghost Adventures investigated — which led many to dismiss the case as false. However, a number of noted paranormal researchers studied the home and argued they got it wrong.

In this episode of Into the Fog, I revisit the Bothell haunting and uncover new angles that deserve serious attention — from compelling evidence caught on Xbox Kinect, and physical phenomena that left investigators baffled. Was this man are faker, or truly haunted and simply not believed?

I present the evidence and leave it to you to decide. Do share your thoughts on this case in the comments. Believers and sceptics are all welcome to participate (just please be respectful of each other).

Most possession cases are disturbing - but this one is utterly horrifying.

🔴 A woman plagued by violent poltergeist activity.

🔴 Objects—nails, glass, even live creatures—manifesting from her body.

🔴 A town witnessing a supernatural battle that left scars for generations. This is the rarely discussed case of Gottliebin Dittus, a 19th-century woman from Möttlingen, Germany whose horrifying possession left an entire community in fear. Witnesses—including doctors, the mayor, and clergy—reported chilling encounters that seem impossible to explain. And yet, countless people said they saw it with their own eyes.

📜 This story comes from a rarely seen historical document, translated by German viewers of Into the Fog, which details two years of extreme possession, exorcisms, and one of the most disturbing supernatural battles ever recorded.

💀 Was this a case of true demonic possession? A mass hysteria? A terrifying medical mystery? Join me as we uncover the most disturbing exorcism case you’ve never heard of.

Special Thanks to the following Into the Fog viewers for their German translating skills:

Is the paranormal contagious?

The Hitchhiker Effect—a disturbing phenomenon linked to Skinwalker Ranch—suggests that encounters with the unexplained don’t just stay in one place. Witnesses, researchers, and even government officials claim that something follows them home after visiting certain locations. But what if this eerie effect isn’t just tied to Skinwalker Ranch? Could it explain hauntings, poltergeist activity, and other supernatural disturbances? In this video, we dive into declassified Pentagon files, chilling firsthand accounts, and the unsettling possibility that the paranormal is more infectious than we ever imagined.

👻 Could this explain classic hauntings and poltergeists?

👀 Why are government researchers so interested in this?

🛸 Does this link UFOs, cryptids, and ghosts together? Join me as we explore one of the most unsettling theories in paranormal research—and why it might mean no one is ever truly safe from the unknown

The Sauchie Poltergeist of 1960 remains one of Scotland’s most chilling paranormal cases. At 19 Park Crescent, 11-year-old Virginia Campbell was plagued by terrifying phenomena both at her home, and at school —knocking sounds, moving objects, and more. Many believe Virginia’s psychic energy created the disturbances, but new evidence from Malcolm Robinson challenges the theory. Could it have been a discarnate entity haunting the house? Or even the entire street? Astonishingly, similar activity was reported at 17 and 30 Park Crescent in 1969 and as recently as 2020. Is Sauchie cursed by something far darker than we imagined? Join me as I unravel this enduring mystery.

NOTE: All voices featured in this episode (apart from my own) are actors, however, they are all speaking the exact quotations from the witnesses in question.

What lies hidden in the shadowy depths of Greenburgh, NY’s forests? In this chilling episode, we explore an obscure but terrifying encounter from the late 18th century, where two young men ignored warnings and ventured into a haunted valley. What they encountered defies explanation—a towering, spectral figure with a sinister presence that left them frozen in fear. When the townsfolk hear of the incident, one of them is determined to see it for himself. Will he regret his decision to face what some have called 'The Grey Horror'? But the horror doesn’t stop there. We’ll also connect this historical account to more recent eyewitness stories that suggest the terror of Greenburgh’s haunted forest may still linger. Was it a ghost, a demon, a cryptid or something even more unthinkable? Join me as I unravel the mystery of this forgotten legend and its disturbing echoes through time. If you’re fascinated by hauntings, ghost stories, cryptids, sasquatch, elementals and the unexplained, this video is for you.
