51: Terrifying Encounters With Gremlin-Like Creatures (inc the Hopkinsville Horror)
14 JAN 2024 · 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 Cockpit
- The Hopkinsville Horror
- The Luli Oswald Enounter

49: The Thing in the House, Part 2
3 DEC 2023 · 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.

46: Scary True Stories of the Australian Outback (Part 1 - Human Horrors)
24 SEP 2023 · 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.
