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…?

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).

Special thanks to Keith Liinder for the resources and writings that enabled me to create this episode in such detail.

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.
