76. Inside the Haunting Still Taught to Priests
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE https://youtu.be/sb4GurkWFKo 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. #ActonValePoltergeist #Paranormal #TrueHaunting #PeterLaws #SupernaturalMystery #ScaryStories #GhostStory #CatholicChurch #PoltergeistCase #IntoTheFog #religioushorror Note: I don’t currently have YouTube memberships but I do offer extra content and connection via Patreon: www.patreon.com/peterlaws Have a genuine experience to share?

75. She Haunted the Park BEFORE She Was Murdered
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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.

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.

73. What the Police Saw [The Bridgeport Poltergeist]
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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.

72. The Call Came from INSIDE THE HOUSE [Unheard USA Haunting]
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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. 📌 Support the investigations on Patreon: www.patreon.com/peterlaws For more on Peter Laws check out: www.patreon.com/peterlaws or www.peterlaws.co.uk

71. Little Girl...Would You Like To Come to Hell With Me (Dagg Farm Haunting)
Send us Fan Mail Video version HERE 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?

70. 8 Minutes Dead. Something Came Back With Her
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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.

69. This Haunting Is Linked to a Double Murder
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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?

68. Poltergeist Girl...or Killer? (The Chilling Case of Tina Resch)
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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. For more on Peter Laws check out: www.patreon.com/peterlaws or www.peterlaws.co.uk

67: The Horrifying Pell Family Haunting.
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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.

66. Lower Quinton: The Village That Hid a Witch Murder?
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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.

65. Aggressive Haunting in a Tiny Apartment
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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. For more on Peter Laws check out: www.patreon.com/peterlaws or www.peterlaws.co.uk

64. No Matter Where He Moved, The Haunting Followed
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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. For more on Peter Laws check out: www.patreon.com/peterlaws or www.peterlaws.co.uk

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.

Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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.

60. The Terrifying 80s Haunting We All Missed. (Doretta Johnson Haunting)
Send us Fan Mail Video Version HERE 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.
