The Scariest Exorcism You've NEVER Heard Of - Gottliebin Dittus

Most possession cases are disturbing - but this one is utterly horrifying.

🔴 A woman plagued by violent poltergeist activity.
🔴 Objects—nails, glass, even live creatures—manifesting from her body.
🔴 A town witnessing a supernatural battle that left scars for generations.

This is the rarely discussed case of Gottliebin Dittus, a 19th-century woman from Möttlingen, Germany whose horrifying possession left an entire community in fear. Witnesses—including doctors, the mayor, and clergy—reported chilling encounters that seem impossible to explain. And yet, countless people said they saw it with their own eyes.

📜 This story comes from a rarely seen historical document, translated by German viewers of Into the Fog, which details two years of extreme possession, exorcisms, and one of the most disturbing supernatural battles ever recorded.

💀 Was this a case of true demonic possession? A mass hysteria? A terrifying medical mystery?

Join me as we uncover the most disturbing exorcism case you’ve never heard of.

Along with a small team of German viewers of Into the Fog, I’ve been working through a translation of a genuinely scary possession case from the 1840s. Brace yourself for this one, because the story starts creepy, then turns creepier…then it just goes absolutely nightmarish.

I’ll be in the LIVE chat for this premier.

[frankiej]

The fact that she endured survived then thrived afterwards is truly wonderful, though ❤

[roninwandering]

It's cool to hear that fans of the show helped with the translations.

[AmandaRe-vosu]

I gotta be honest. I usually stay away from exorcism stories because they give me the BIGGEST creeps! But. There's no way I'm missing your show!👻

[GrumpyScotsman]

Well, that's my Saturday sorted.

[GettingSchwiftyy]

THIS IS THE PARANORMAL CHANNEL i'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

[BonnyBateman]

The best narrator ever, I just love this channel…onwards to 200 000 subscribers….

[krispycas]

Okay my god this is scary how is this man so good at story telling

[岡山大木]

Peter, I subbed to you when you had about 30, 000 subs, and now you’re over 100K and the content just keeps on getting better!

[CleverestStitch]

This poor lady and her poor family. Thanks for sharing Peter and wow 103k. Way to go

[JulieTurner-ln]

I'm sleeping with the light on tonight totally creeped out, but still will be back for the next scary story.

[StephanieRendino]

You are one of the best storytellers I’ve found on YouTube. In a world where AI voices are more and more frequent, your real voice and it’s inflections are a joy.

[amylouwho]

I always appreciate the manner in which you handle these stories and the people involved in them. We watch for entertainment purposes but it doesn't seem exploitative. As always, I throughly enjoyed your storytelling.

I’m going to savor this episode because this is my therapy ❤ my stepfather, my bonus dad, died unexpectedly last week and I’ve been caring for my mother since it happened. I’m having her move in with my husband and I because I don’t want her living on her own. This past week has been like a dream… we wish we could wake up from. My grandbabies are snuggled in sleeping over tonight with my mother and for the first time in a while I’m going to take a deep breath and enjoy 😊 grandbaby # 5 is due in just a few short weeks… God doesn’t close one door without opening another ❤ Thank you Mr. Laws for your superb stories and narration ❤ This is just what I needed. To everyone, hug eachother a little tighter and love a lil harder… life can change with a blink of an eye. ❤🕊️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[larsvonrinpoche]

Love from a German in Canada 🇨🇦! Grandmother was strict Lutheran. No fun there! I've been enjoying your stories more and more. Also, fantastic job on pronunciation!

[kismitj]

while i Did know about Gottliebin Dittus, i'm an odd duck who spent their childhood reading old accounts of haunts horrors and haints. you handled the sensitivity of the topic very well

[chrispig]

Can’t wait, this channel is excellent, love listening to it, so well told

[lonsimmons]

Peter, thank you. You have the best "campfire story" channel on Youtube. Brilliant, just wonderful. Now, could you please tell me where I might find a good, quality night light?

[rosemadder]
