Into The Fog with Peter Laws

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 examing 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.

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. 00:00 – The Man Behind the Sofa: An Inhuman Introduction01:27 – The Bempton Cliffs Encounter: Military Witnesses to Standing Wolf06:21 – Flamborough Head: The Hound and the Infa-Red Camera09:53 – A Mysterious Coastal Connection: The Demonic Hound of KettleNess11:18 – The Static Voice: A Creepy Paranormal Phone Call I Had14:05 – The Highway to Vrådal: Norway’s Leathery, Jointless Creature20:13 – The Mastiff of Mist: A 14-Year-Old's Terrifying Driveway Sight22:13 – The Floating Canine: A Severed Head on the Stairs 24:10 – The Hybrid Intruder: A Man Fused with a Black Dog27:31 – The Guardian Under the Lamp Post: Werewolf or Protector?31:14 – The Hospice Visitor: A Black Wolf at the Edge of Death35:19 – Beyond Biology: Are Dogman Sightings Interdimensional?39:57 – Join the Fog: Bonus Content & Patreon SupportSpecial 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?Join Peter Laws as we step into the fog to investigate this forgotten haunting.#Paranormal #TrueGhostStories #HauntedHouse #IntoTheFog #PeterLaws #Supernatural #ScaryStories #BritishHauntings #HiddenRoomNote: I don’t currently have YouTube memberships but I do offer extra content and connection via Patreon: www.patreon.com/peterlawsHave a genuine experience to share?

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.If you enjoy forgotten cases, true British hauntings, and atmospheric mysteries, make sure to subscribe and step Into the Fog.#TrueHaunting #1976Heatwave #BritishMysteries #PeterLaws #IntoTheFog #ParanormalInvestigation #forgottenhistory 0:00 Into the Fog: The 1976 Heatwave & The Hunt Family4:57 Renovating the Barn: Ambitious Plans6:50 Strange Noises: Crying Behind the Sealed Door9:10 The Manic Chanting: A Frightening Prayer12:00 Sabotage: The Mystery of the Falling Walls14:10 The Stakeout: Donald and Annette’s Night Watch18:45 The Vision: Stumbling into a Medieval Dungeon22:05 The Sadistic Secret: Walled Up Alive30:45 A Different Kind of Exorcism: Sarah’s Compassion33:55 The Research: Colin Parsons and the Medieval Records36:15 Final Thoughts from the FogEditorGerard Giorgi-CollArtworkSteph LayResearch and Image CreditsThis episode draws on Colin Parsons’s account ‘The Girl in the Wall’, published in the book Encounters with the Unknown (Robert Hale, 1990).The book is now out of print, but a digitised edition can be borrowed free of charge from the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/encounter...Cover image: Encounters with the Unknown by Colin Parsons (Robert Hale, 1990).Note: I don’t currently have YouTube memberships but I do offer extra content and connection via Patreon: www.patreon.com/peterlawsHave a genuine experience to share?
