The apparent demonic possession of Don Decker – otherwise known as the Pennsylvania Rain Man – is a chilling and bizarre paranormal case. It was so unsettling, that some people began to believe they were literally witnessing the work of the Devil himself. What’s more, these events were witnessed and corroborated by multiple people, including a prison warden and four police officers. Brace yourself for a fascinating yet scary account of a troubled young man surrounded by dramatic poltergeist activity. I’m Peter Laws, and tonight on Frightful, I give you ‘Demonically Possessed?

As wild as it sounds, there are multiple claims from eyewitnesses of grotesque, monstrous-looking creatures, possibly from other worlds wreaking havoc in this one. Creatures that are so disturbing that encounters with them could even be fatal. The unsettling encounters we will examine feature creatures whose descriptions are, perhaps bizarrely, akin to the Gremlins from the Hollywood movie of the same name. And not only in their physical descriptions but also in their ominous and potentially deadly mischievous nature. Indeed, in the very early years of aviation, many pilots, including military pilots, would report encounters with mischievous beings in the aircraft while in flight – beings they would call Gremlins. Some of these apparent encounters eventually resulted in fatal crashes. Over the years, most would treat such talk as nothing but folklore. Could it be, though, that there is more to creatures who look like real-life Gremlins than we might think, if only in part? Prepare for three cases, that might just make you nervous to turn out the light: Clawed to Death in the CockpitThe Hopkinsville HorrorThe Luli Oswald EnounterTonight’s Frightful was written by Marcus Lowth.

The Hinterkaifeck Farm murders are truly frightful and remain unexplained over 100 years after they occurred. As well as the brutal slaying of six people, there were hints of paranormal activity taking place. These unsettling events unfolded in early 1922 at the Hinterkaifeck Farm located in the alpine woods of the German state of Bavaria just outside the town of Groben.

In 1974, two couples had just graduated from college. George and Tina Martell along with Rick and Anna Delapena were about to start new jobs, but finances were tight…so they decided to pool their money and move into a house together. The home they found was creaky and old, but it was spacious. What’s more, it came with furniture…including a painting hanging over the fireplace, of a woman by that same fireplace. Surely, this must have been the lady of the house. Anna felt unsettled by the woman’s stare, but they left the portrait up, out of respect. The house, however, would not respect them. Within a week, they became subject to a barrage of frightening paranormal activity, including physical attack. Brace yourself for a haunting, which was first discovered by paranormal researcher, Brad Steiger. After interviewing the witnesses, he claimed it was one of the most disturbing case he had encountered. I’m Peter Laws and this is part one of ‘The Thing in the House’…on Frightful. *Please note, at one point, an eyewitness describes the entity in their home as being some sort of evil or demonic ‘dwarf'. I’m conscious that this sort of language can be offensive to some listeners, for which I apologise. However, in the interests of accuracy, I wanted to stick with what the eyewitness actually said at the time.Source:'Shadow World' by Brad Steiger.

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… Episode Sponsor: Stop wasting money on things you don’t use.

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.
