Episode Description from the Publisher

In the sweltering heat of the legendary 1976 UK heatwave, a different kind of horror was unfolding within the walls of a quiet British farmhouse. While the country baked under an unrelenting sun, the inhabitants of the Hunt house were discovering a secret so sadistic it has remained largely unheard of for decades.In this episode of Into the Fog, Peter Laws deep-dives into the chilling case of a woman bricked up alive, a tragedy born from a &quot;sin&quot; the church tried to bury. We explore the haunting accounts of the crying behind the walls, the dark history of a nun’s secret, and the malevolent atmosphere that gripped this isolated rural home during one of Britain&#39;s most extreme summers. In this video, we investigate:-The true story of the 1976 Hunt House mystery.-Why a woman was walled up alive inside a farmhouse.-The connection between the &quot;Sadistic&quot; events and a hidden religious secret.-First-hand accounts of the haunting that occurred during the 1976 heatwave.If you enjoy forgotten cases, true British hauntings, and atmospheric mysteries, make sure to subscribe and step Into the Fog.#TrueHaunting #1976Heatwave #BritishMysteries #PeterLaws #IntoTheFog #ParanormalInvestigation #forgottenhistory 0:00 Into the Fog: The 1976 Heatwave &amp; The Hunt Family4:57 Renovating the Barn: Ambitious Plans6:50 Strange Noises: Crying Behind the Sealed Door9:10 The Manic Chanting: A Frightening Prayer12:00 Sabotage: The Mystery of the Falling Walls14:10 The Stakeout: Donald and Annette’s Night Watch18:45 The Vision: Stumbling into a Medieval Dungeon22:05 The Sadistic Secret: Walled Up Alive30:45 A Different Kind of Exorcism: Sarah’s Compassion33:55 The Research: Colin Parsons and the Medieval Records36:15 Final Thoughts from the FogEditorGerard Giorgi-CollArtworkSteph LayResearch and Image CreditsThis episode draws on Colin Parsons’s account ‘The Girl in the Wall’, published in the book Encounters with the Unknown (Robert Hale, 1990).The book is now out of print, but a digitised edition can be borrowed free of charge from the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/encounter...Cover image: Encounters with the Unknown by Colin Parsons (Robert Hale, 1990).Note: I don’t currently have YouTube memberships but I do offer extra content and connection via Patreon: www.patreon.com/peterlawsHave a genuine experience to share?
