Into the Fog with Peter Laws

An intense new episode is coming on Saturday...the true story of a devout Catholic family who, for three nights, were plunged into a terrifying ordeal at the hands of a wild and violent poltergeist.

This force was so fixated on religious objects that the three priests who attended were convinced that the events were DIABOLICAL.

I'll be there in the LIVE chat. Hope you can join me...bring your friends!

The timing of this episode also honours fifty years of the STILL scary 1976 horror film The Omen, starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick.

ALIENS & UAP/ UFO DISCLOSURE

Today I shared an off-the-cuff video, sharing some thoughts on the recent news of aliens.

I put it on my personal channel and toward the end I explore the link between aliens and the paranormal in general.

Share your thoughts in the video comments!

Into the Fog with Peter Laws

Somehow just realising that my new camera for YouTube video takes photographs as well. I should probably use it for thumbnail pics of me. At the moment I just find random screen grabs from the video, usually with me looking slightly deranged mid sentence. 😂

Into the Fog with Peter Laws

NEW EPISODE THIS SATURDAY

I've wanted to cover this mind-bending paranormal story for ages...

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 may be 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.

Members of my Patreon can watch this episode now, without ads. But no worries if you're not a Patron. This will premiere LIVE for everyone on Saturday, and I'll be in the chat.

Hope to see you there!

Into the Fog with Peter Laws

DISCLOSURE…

- HAVE ALIENS OR INTER-DIMENSIONAL BEINGS VISITED HUMANS?
- COULD THIS EXPLAIN CASES OF POLTERGEISTS, GHOSTS, HAUNTED HOUSES?

I’ve been fascinated by the recent developments in government transparency regarding UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). It may be that we’re moving into a new chapter of history, one in which we discover that the world is far stranger and less predictable than we ever imagined. A point that Into the Fog keeps making every episode.

If you’re interested in the subject of governmental disclosure, you may find this video worth watching. It explores some startling accounts from Pentagon-related files concerning alleged encounters with non-human entities. It makes for a wild and sometimes unsettling watch, but an increasing number of officials and insiders suggest this could be a reality we need to take seriously.

If you’d like to explore the topic further, check out the video below.

A small word of warning, though. Near the end of the video, I mention that some viewers reported experiencing odd things after watching it. I’m not saying that to be dramatic, and it may well be pure coincidence.

But if subjects like this tend to leave you feeling uneasy, feel free to give this one a miss.


Do share if you think others might find it intriguing.

Really enjoying this book on the making of The Omen films. Any one out there seen them?

This first film is a masterpiece, the second is like…okay, the third is great fun (apart from the ending), can’t remember 4. Quite enjoyed the recent one.
, The First Omen.

This fabulous book by #ajbrookes is rammed with information. I grabbed the colour edition.

Have you seen any scary movies lately? Share your thoughts below. I saw Obsession yesterday at the cinema and I was impressed. So intense, shocking and thought provoking.

Into the Fog with Peter Laws

Hello folks,

It’s Steph here - I help Peter with the channel, and it’s been a while since we’ve done one of these comment round-up posts, but our recent episode about the Bridgeport Poltergeist has been a bit special.


We never really know how a story will land until it’s out in the world, but this one has now been watched 236,000 times in just over a month - nearly 100,000 views above the top end of our usual range for this point. It’s our best-performing video so far, which is so good to see!


It’s also brought a lot of people to Into The Fog for the first time: around a third of viewers on this episode were new to the channel, and about 920 of you subscribed after watching. A very warm welcome if you’re one of them - we’re so glad you found us.


If you’ve not seen that episode yet, or if you’d like to take another look, you can watch it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7IK1...


One of the loveliest things about Bridgeport finding such a wide audience has been the conversation that followed. For anyone new to these reviews: we’re very lucky that so many of you leave thoughtful, detailed comments here, whether that’s local knowledge, personal experience, wider context, or just your reaction to the story. I read through them all and analyse them to find the most common themes - and this one has had around 1,300 comments so far!


In fact, so many of you shared interesting memories, questions and fresh angles on this case that Peter has also made Bridgeport the subject of the very first Into The Fog: Embers episode which went live today.


Embers is our new companion format for revisiting old cases, sharing updates, exploring viewer contributions and telling shorter stories that might not need a full investigation of their own, but still deserve a little space to smoulder.


And honestly, Bridgeport felt like the perfect place to begin. Your contributions have added first-hand memories, local knowledge and fresh perspectives, and deepened our appreciation of why the Lindley Street story still has such a hold on people.
You can watch the first Embers episode here: https://youtu.be/NntK7KwNnLs
But first, here’s the full comment round-up from the main episode - and what you’ve been talking about:


- You cared about Marcia’s history
By far, the theme that came across most clearly was your empathy for Marcia as an Indigenous child adopted from Canada into an American family. @carrie_white_ wrote powerfully about the forced adoption of Indigenous children in Canada and the US during the period known as the “Sixties Scoop,” and wondered whether Marcia’s story might have involved “an act of injustice whose malignant cruelty eventually metastasized into the activity documented here.”


Carrie’s comment opened up a much wider discussion. @MsPerlia wrote “Every child matters,” and @ShortStevie said, “It’s a shame her voice has been lost in all this.” Others, including @nedrane297 and @DazzlecatCreations, added further context about cultural removal, adoption, family rupture, and how Marcia may have been severed not just from her birth family, but from a whole community and ancestry.


- You discussed The Warrens
We were expecting that the mention of Ed and Lorraine Warren would get a lot of you talking, and it did! It was really interesting to read that the response was more mixed than a simple “for” or “against.” Some of you had exactly the reaction Peter anticipated: @Carol-u8g said that when the Warrens were mentioned, she actually said “oh no!” out loud, and several of you were clear that you find anything connected to them very difficult to take seriously. A lot of you felt they tended to sensationalise cases, especially by framing hauntings as demonic.


But there were also viewers who defended them, and some of you argued that the Warrens were often called in by frightened families when few other people would take them seriously. @Unhyphenated said they were on team Warren, believing they came under attack because they made people uncomfortable rather than because they were scammers.


That seemed to be where a lot of the discussion settled: be cautious about the Warrens, yes, but don’t automatically dismiss the police, firefighters, priests, reporters, neighbours, and family members whose accounts were already part of the case before Ed and Lorraine arrived.


- You shared your own links to the case
It’s always fascinating to hear from people with personal connections to the story, and it was great to read your comments about this. @IH8UMORE, a retired mortician, shared an eerie moment about going to the house years later after removing a body nearby and feeling watched by it. We even heard from @CharCharDes who said they had been one of the teenagers in the crowd outside!


One comment that really stood out for me came from @warlockborn1031 who said their uncle was one of the firemen dispatched to the Lindley Street house, and remembered him telling the family about what he saw. They also pointed to Park Cemetery, only a few hundred yards away, saying that despite having worked in and visited many cemeteries, they and their wife had never felt so disturbed or uneasy as they did there. Years later, they said, it emerged that older graves had been exhumed and resold, with reports of missing remains and broken coffins found scattered in the woods. Thank-you for that unsettling thought, @warlockborn1031!


- You discussed religion, demons, ancestors and something harder to name
I read lots of ideas about what kind of haunting this might have been, and there were a range of interpretations. Some of you read it through a Christian or demonic lens, especially because of the religious responses, the involvement of priests, and the violent nature of some of the phenomena. Others were much more cautious about that, particularly because several of you feel the Warrens often pushed cases towards a demonic interpretation.


Others suggested something darker feeding on the tension and distress already present in the house. @kristinthomsen3175 brought several of these threads together in a fascinating comment wondering whether something ancestral may have been trying to reach Marcia, and offering the unsettling thought that hauntings might only become dangerous in response to how we react to them.


- You shared your own paranormal experiences
As always, many of you shared your own experiences, and thank-you so much for trusting us with those stories. The patterns were striking - haunted houses, childhood fear, object movement, sensed presences, and strange things happening around moments of grief or stress.


@torakfett3351 described "the feeling of not being alone, being watched, being chased up/down the stairs," and how frightening it is when your own home stops feeling like a safe place.


One comment that really stayed with me came from a viewer who connected Peter's falling book to something that happened after her husband died. On the first Valentine's Day after his death (also their son's birthday) a framed picture of her and their son came off the wall. But it wasn't simply that the picture fell - she said the wire on the back had somehow become untwisted, the nail was still in place, and the picture landed face up beside dried rose petals from the last roses her husband had given her. When she tried to recreate the fall, she couldn't make it land there. For her, it felt like a message: "happy birthday and happy Valentine's Day."


These stories, in very different ways, connected beautifully to one of your other big talking points…


- You talked about The Book
We know that many of you stayed right to the end to hear about the strange things that happened while we were making this one - and yes, Peter’s book falling from the shelf prompted a lot of discussion! Some of you were sceptical and offered practical explanations involving vibration, shelf angles, paperback weight, gravity, and the way the pages might fan out as the book fell. @KC_Waz_Here gave one of the most detailed physics-based explanations, but even they noted that the oddest part was not necessarily how the book landed, but where it seemed to land.


However, there was also an extra chill when some of you noticed the title of the book itself: Severed. Given how much of the discussion came back to Marcia, and the possibility that she had been severed from her family, her culture, and her people, that detail felt uncomfortably apt. (Thank-you to @justbridgentodayakazw8433 and @JuliaKapp for pointing that out!)


- What you enjoyed about this episode
I can’t end this without talking about how much you’ve enjoyed this one, and how so many of you had such lovely things to say about it! @melissajackson79 put it really nicely when she wrote that part of the reason she loves Peter’s storytelling is because “the way you tell it is like a friend telling the story,” rather than someone simply reading information aloud.


It was also really good to see people noticing some of the production details on this one. @P.willow really liked the sound-design, and mentioned “the flip between talking and your voice coming from the radio in the car,” and @torakfett3351 said they were listening with headphones and that “over an hour has passed in like 30 seconds.”
Those of you who’ve been watching for a while may remember that we used to do these posts more regularly, and we’re not ready to bring them back every week yet - we’re still a very small team, and most of our time is going into the behind-the-scenes work needed to keep the fortnightly main episodes coming!


We’re working hard on the next episode now - that will be coming out on June 13th, and I’m looking forward to seeing some of you at the premiere!
Take care till then,


Steph (@StephClaireLay)

Into the Fog with Peter Laws

🔥 A New Into the Fog Experiment...Embers 🔥

I’m experimenting with a new companion series that will occasionally appear between the main videos. I'm calling it 'Into the Fog: Embers'

The idea is simple: a place for case updates, interesting viewer comments, follow-up discoveries, and shorter paranormal stories that aren’t substantial enough for a full episode.

It revisits the Bridgeport Poltergeist video I made a month ago, because it prompted many comments from people with personal connections to the case, including locals who remember the events and family members of those who attended.

I’m genuinely curious to see what you think of this extra format. If it works, I could make Embers episodes now and then, alongside the main investigations.

The first trial episode of Embers is now available for Patrons, free of ads, but no worries if you're not a Patron! The free YouTube version will appear this weekend.

Thanks, everybody!
