March 26, 202335: The Aliens on the Train
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.

February 26, 202334: The Most Evil Woman in Australia - Anne Hamilton Byrne & ’The Family’ Cult
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.
Meet Anne Hamilton Byrne…better known as ‘The Most Evil Woman in Australia’.

January 01, 2023 31: The Demon of Fremont, Part 2
Imagine there was an imposter in your house… It would be terrifying but at least you could call the police, and they could hopefully remove them. But what if the invader couldn’t be seen or heard by others…only you.
Even worse…what if this unwelcome guest utterly loathed you, and wanted nothing more than your death and destruction.
I'm Peter Laws, and tonight we hear of a distressing and little known haunting case from California, 1996. Where a house is not merely haunted by a spirit…it is harassed and terrorised by a malevolent force.
