Summary: A shrieking mist appears to drawing Dementors south, and possessing bystanders.
Quote: Late yesterday afternoon, dementors descended on the English countryside, scattering themselves from Cumbria and trickling in as far south as London. The Ministry received a timely warning and employed I.D.R.E.A.D immediately.

I.D.R.E.A.D. was less prepared for a strange, shrieking mist which appeared to be drawing these dementors south.

The mist has reportedly attacked both muggles and wixes, leaving several dead and many injured or changed. As night fell, the entity appeared to retreat or go into hiding. However, those affected are desperate for answers, and there's no rest for the Ministry as the Departments of Magical Law Enforcement and Magical Accidents and Catastrophes scramble to discover the source.

"We've never seen dementors hunt anything other than souls," a source from I.D.R.E.A.D. revealed.

"Attacked by mist! Sounds like an American horror novel doesn’t it?" author Rascal Rosier remarked excitedly, part of a group of wixes and muggles evacuated late last night from the Croydon area.
