    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.

  • 51. Before Salem: The Devil in Springfield
    Jun 18 2025

    Send us a text

    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'

  • 50. Bible College Demon (They Prayed on Halloween. Something Answered)
    Jun 9 2025

    Send us a text

    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?
