Frightful

Is the Paranormal Like A New Religion?

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 12:59:00 +0000

Since the early 2000s, paranormal content has exploded in popular culture. It seems we can't get enough of ghosts (and hunting for them). What could be behind this enthusiasm for spooky things. Here, I share a theory...that the paranormal is a clever way for us to be religious...without being religious. This is a BONUS VIDEO and is not a paranormal case. It shares a theory on the paranormal, so skip it if you're not interested in the information below...

Including: - What is the state of belief today?

- Why does the paranormal appeal so much?

- How does the paranormal help us with our fears?

- How has paranormal belief been influenced by religion (demons, cryptozoology etc)?

- Why is there such a strong sense of community in the paranormal world?

47: Scary True Stories of the Australian Outback (Part 2 - Paranormal Terrors)

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 04:00:00 +0000

Last time on Frightful, I took you into the Australian Wilderness, a colossal, yet barely populated area which can be both beautiful and terrifying. We have already encountered a series of human horrors…from cruel killers to babies snatched by animals.

But tonight, we head back out into the darkness for one more trip…only this time, the threat may well be harder to understand or define…because there are supernatural mysteries out there in the bush.

I’m Peter Laws and tonight on Frightful we encounter Paranormal Terrors in part 2 of…Scary True Stories from the Australian Outback…

46: Scary True Stories of the Australian Outback (Part 1 - Human Horrors)

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 13:09:00 +0000

The Outback is an absolutely vast area of Australia, spanning 5.6 million km squared. It covers about 70% of the content of Australia, it would take up half of the United States if placed on top. It’s mostly flat, and covered with soil that is highly infertile and it’s filled with kangaroos, dingos (Australian wild dogs).

Despite it’s size, there are barely any people. In fact, less than 5% of the Australian population live in the outback. So despite it being a beautiful, astonishing space…there is an inherent sense of threat in this wilderness. To cross it, is to become far more vulnerable than we probably have been before.

Listening to this two part Frightful won’t help.

I’ll be sharing scary true stories of tragic attacks and cruel crime to strange and frightening tales of the paranormal. I’m Peter Laws, and you’re about to hear Scary True Stories from The Australian Outback.

41: Saved from Death...by a Ghost? (Part 2)

Sun, 02 Jul 2023 04:00:00 +0000

When we talk about ghosts on Frightful, it’s normally a scary, threatening experience. The cases we look at tonight and next time are still scary…but there’s a difference. In each of the accounts you’re about to hear, we will meet people at the mercy of very frightening natural circumstances, from tragic car crashes to twisted sex killers lurking in a house…

Yet the dazzling claim in all these cases is that these victims were protected by some sort of supernatural force.

Brace yourself as police files meet the world of the paranormal.

Because I’m Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful, we explore accounts when people were ‘Saved…by a Ghost.’

A young girl returns from pre-school and tells her mother all about her new friend Soosha. She wants a colour backpack like Soosha, and hair ribbons like Soosha. She talks of Soosha every day after school. The girls mother attend a school event and, out of curiousity, asks a teacher to point out who Soosha is. The teacher says…'We have no girl called Soosha here.'

35: The Aliens on the Train

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 04:00:00 +0000

After a spate of UFO/UAP sightings in recent years, the military, media and government seem more open to the possibility of extra-terrestrial visitors. Yet most of the reports inspire us to only look up into the heavens and watch the skies. Tonight, we hear a chilling account from one eye witness, who had a bizarre encounter while travelling by rail from Stratford-Upon-Avon to Swansea, South Wales in the UK. Her story prompts us not to look up at the sky…but rather to our left and right…to who might be sitting next to us on public transport. I’m Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful we take a terrifying ride…with the Aliens on the Train. Episode Sponsor:

34: The Most Evil Woman in Australia - Anne Hamilton Byrne & ’The Family’ Cult

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 15:18:00 +0000

When I stumbled across a photograph of a mysterious woman on the internet, I was both attracted and disturbed. I had an immediate sense that this beautiful woman had a strange frightening quality. As I dug deeper, I realised my instincts were right. Tonight on Frightful we explore the disturbing story of Anne Hamilton Byrne, a cult leader who systematically stole children to create loving community for herself called ‘The Family.' She forced the kids to wear matching tracksuits and bleaching their hair blonde makes for an eerie sight…but this was the least of her horrors. Brace yourself for tonight’s Frightful, which may be upsetting to some listeners due to references to child cruelty. Yet the story is a fascinating exploration of one of the few female cult leaders.

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 04:00:00 +0000

(PART ONE) Tonight, I will take you to frontier town in Springfield, Massachusetts. The year is 1651, and strange things are starting to occur…livestock are dying, crops are struggling, and food is starting to spoil. Locals are even having strange seizures, and at night, as they try to sleep, they are haunted by terrifying nightmares. Then, the children of the village start to die… Are they just going through a terrible season…or might this be the season of the witch. I’m Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful, we head back to the 17th century, to a town that is so gripped with suspicion and fear, they will go to any lengths to keep the evil at bay. This is part one of the little known story of Hugh and Mary Parsons - The Witches of Springfield, 1651 . Note: I first learned about this case from the excellent and in depth book, 'The Ruin of All Witches' by Malcolm Gaskell. If this podcast intrigues you, do grab the book as it has far more detail.

22: The Vampire Killer of Wales, Part 01

Sun, 17 Jul 2022 07:05:00 +0000

There is a small and quaint village in North Wales that is famous for having the longest place name in Britain. Believe it or not, it's called: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. The only reason I had heard of this village was because of this long name...until 2001, when Llanfair would become known for something much, much darker...a killing so steeped in gothic excess and supernatural ambition that the judge would call it incomprehensible...

20: Doreen Irvine: Queen of the Black Witches, Part 01

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 07:05:00 +0000

I was walking through town one morning when I noticed lots of unspooled audio cassette tape tangled in the railings of a church. Curious, I turned to my friend and said - 'I guess it must be kids messing around.' He shook his head and said, in all seriousness: 'No, that'll be the witches - they record themselves saying curses against churches and wrap them around churches.' Baffled, I asked him where he got the idea that 'the witches' were plotting against Christians...he pointed me to a book called 'From Witchcraft to Christ', which claimed to be a true story of a Christian woman who had once been an important leader in the shadowy world of the occult.... Was her story true? That'll be for you to decide, as we start this special two part Frightful, telling the story of "Doreen Irvine - Queen of the Black Witches?"

13: Satanic Panic - Fear of the Murder Teens

Sun, 06 Mar 2022 05:05:00 +0000

In the 1980s/ and 1990s, parents feared that Satan might suck their otherwise 'normal' sons and daughters may into drugs, suicide and even murder. Were they overly panicked by the media and church preachers...perhaps. Yet there were still genuine cases of teenagers who brutally killed others, in the 'name of Satan.' I'm Peter Laws and tonight on Frightful as we explore the Satanic Panic and the disturbing world of Teen Murders, asking if the devil really was the force that turned happy teens into ice-cold killers.
