The New Monsters: The Bunny Man - Part One Sep 14, 2026

THE DEVIL WITHIN

THE NEW MONSTERS: THE BUNNY MAN

Episode One: The Man on Guinea Road

In October 1970, along a dark stretch of Guinea Road in Fairfax County, Virginia, a young couple sitting inside their car saw someone emerge from the woods. The stranger appeared to be wearing a white suit with long rabbit ears. He began shouting about private property, claimed to have their license plate number—and then hurled a hatchet through the passenger window. The couple escaped. Police recovered the weapon. The man in the rabbit costume vanished.

If that were the end of the story, the Bunny Man might have survived as little more than a spectacularly bizarre newspaper clipping. But ten days later, another encounter was reported nearby. This time, security guard Paul Phillips discovered a rabbit-costumed figure at an unfinished house, carrying a long-handled axe and reportedly chopping at the structure while complaining about trespassers. Two incidents had given Northern Virginia something much harder to dismiss: a pattern.

In Episode One of our three-part journey into The Bunny Man, we go beneath the legend to the landscape that created it. Long before suburban Washington pushed into Fairfax County, this was a place shaped by Indigenous history, colonial Virginia, George Washington and George Mason, the American Revolution and the Civil War. By 1970, another invasion was underway as farms and forests disappeared beneath subdivisions, highways and construction sites.

That transformation provides an irresistible backdrop for what happened on Guinea Road. The original Bunny Man emerged from woods being consumed by development, repeatedly complained about trespassing and carried the very tools traditionally used to clear the landscape around him. Whether any of that symbolism was intentional is impossible to know, but the timing helped create an almost perfect American monster: something lurking along the uneasy boundary where countryside was becoming suburbia.

We'll also trace how two documented encounters began mutating almost immediately through newspapers, telephones, school buses and playgrounds. Before the internet could make legends viral, children and teenagers were already remarkably efficient distribution networks, repeating stories, changing details and filling unanswered questions with increasingly elaborate explanations.

And somewhere along the way, the Bunny Man moved.

The famous Bunny Man Bridge near Clifton was not the location of either documented 1970 encounter. Yet as the original construction sites disappeared and unfinished houses became ordinary homes, the secluded railroad overpass remained beneath the trees. Eventually the legend acquired the bridge, an asylum, escaped killers, mutilated rabbits and murder—transforming an unidentified man in a bizarre costume into something supernatural.

But before we get to the ghost stories, we begin with the part that remains considerably stranger because it appears to have actually happened.

Someone wore the rabbit costume. Someone carried the weapons. And more than half a century later, nobody has conclusively established who was inside it.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of September 14th, 2026 Sep 14, 2026

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER

Week of September 14, 2026 — Twenty-Five Years Later

This week on The Devil’s Ledger, we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001 and remember the 2,977 people whose lives were taken that day, along with the first responders and rescue workers who ran toward unimaginable danger while thousands were desperately trying to escape. We also honor those who have died in the years since from illnesses connected to their work at Ground Zero. Twenty-five years later, “Never Forget” remains more than a phrase; it is an obligation to remember the victims, teach the history and honor the extraordinary courage witnessed that morning.

THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK: THE CURSE OF DUDLEYTOWN

Deep in the forests of northwestern Connecticut lie the remains of Dudleytown, an eighteenth-century settlement that eventually became one of New England’s most enduring haunted legends. Stories of a centuries-old family curse, insanity, mysterious deaths and strange creatures transformed an abandoned settlement into the so-called “Village of the Damned.” Historians have challenged much of the mythology, offering far more ordinary explanations for Dudleytown’s disappearance, but the legend proved harder to kill. Ghost hunters still seek it out despite the former settlement being privately owned and closed to the public.

THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN: THE BUNNY MAN

The New Monsters heads to Northern Virginia for the story of The Bunny Man, a legend that began with genuine 1970 reports involving a mysterious man in a rabbit costume carrying a hatchet or axe. From those strange encounters grew Bunny Man Bridge, tales of escaped lunatics and an abandoned asylum, alleged murders and a midnight summoning ritual. Across three episodes, we separate the documented incidents from the mythology and follow the Bunny Man from newspaper reports and playground whispers into teenage legend-tripping and eventually the internet.

THIS WEEK ON CRIMINAL MISCHIEF: JAYCEE DUGARD

Carolyn Ossorio examines the devastating 1991 kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard, who was just eleven years old when she was abducted near her South Lake Tahoe home and held captive for more than eighteen years. Joining Carolyn is legendary investigator Paul Holes for a conversation about the investigation, the evidence, the opportunities authorities missed and, most importantly, Jaycee’s extraordinary survival and reclamation of the life that was stolen from her.

THIS WEEK ON THE SLIPPERY: THE DEADLY SECRET BEHIND WELCOME TO SWEETIE PIE’S

Behind the family drama of the hit OWN reality series Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s was a crime more shocking than anything television producers could have manufactured. The Slippery examines how Tim Norman became the architect of a murder-for-hire plot targeting his own 21-year-old nephew, Andre Montgomery. Investigators from the FBI, ATF and local law enforcement eventually unraveled a trail of life-insurance policies, burner phones, cell-tower records, financial transactions and accomplices that exposed the machinery behind Andre’s murder.

THIS WEEK IN HORROR: BLACK ZOMBIE

Director Maya Annik Bedward’s documentary BLACK ZOMBIE travels beyond Hollywood’s flesh-eating undead to explore the zombie’s origins in Haitian history and spiritual tradition. Moving through films including White Zombie, Night of the Living Dead and The Serpent and the Rainbow, the documentary examines how a figure rooted in enslavement, stolen agency, resistance and survival was transformed into one of modern horror’s most recognizable monsters. Featuring historians, artists and horror figures including Tananarive Due and Tom Savini, BLACK ZOMBIE asks what was lost when Hollywood took the zombie out of Haiti—and what can be reclaimed by putting that history back.

We close this week where we began: September 11, 2001. Remember the people who went to work and never came home, the passengers and flight crews, the firefighters climbing the stairs, the police officers and paramedics running toward danger, the passengers who fought back aboard Flight 93, and the families whose lives were forever divided into before and after. Life is short. Call somebody you love, take the trip, have the dinner, laugh too loudly, make something, and tell people what they mean to you while they are still here to hear it.

The New Monsters: Alligators in the Sewers — Part Three Sep 11, 2026

THE DEVIL WITHIN

The New Monsters: Alligators in the Sewers — Episode Three: The Monster Under Manhattan

By 1980, the alligator had escaped.

The legend that began with misplaced reptiles, a very real 1935 newspaper story and Teddy May’s extraordinary tales of an underground colony had finally crawled out of the sewers and into American popular culture.

Hollywood was waiting.

In the wonderfully excessive 1980 creature feature Alligator, a little girl brings home a baby alligator named Ramon. Her father eventually decides reptile ownership has run its course and flushes the animal down the toilet. Twelve years later, Ramon has survived beneath the city by eating discarded laboratory animals pumped full of experimental growth hormones.

The adorable souvenir has become an enormous, man-eating monster.

And the remarkable thing is that audiences barely needed the premise explained. By then, everybody knew the story.

Baby alligator. Toilet. Sewer. Darkness. Monster.

In the final episode of Alligators in the Sewers, we explore how one of America’s greatest urban legends escaped New York and became part of our shared cultural imagination.

Robert Daley’s 1959 book The World Beneath the City gave Teddy May’s stories a permanent home. Thomas Pynchon’s 1963 novel V. populated Manhattan’s sewers with albino alligators. Books, newspapers and word of mouth continued adding details until ordinary abandoned pets had evolved into enormous, pale, blind creatures supposedly feeding on New York’s endless population of rats.

By the 1970s, the city itself had become the perfect setting. Aging infrastructure, graffiti-covered subway cars, crime, disinvestment and the fiscal crisis transformed New York’s underground from a symbol of nineteenth-century engineering triumph into something darker. The tunnels beneath Manhattan became a place where anything might be hiding.

Then Alligator gave the legend its monster movie.

But reality has an irritating habit of occasionally helping folklore along.

In 2001, a caiman appeared in Central Park’s Harlem Meer. In 2010, police found a young alligator beneath a parked car near a storm drain in Queens. And in 2023, workers discovered an emaciated four-foot alligator in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. None were evidence of some secret breeding colony beneath New York. They were almost certainly abandoned or escaped exotic pets.

Which, of course, was exactly how the legend supposedly began.

Nearly ninety years after East 123rd Street, New Yorkers were still finding alligators where alligators had absolutely no business being.

And perhaps that is why this particular monster refuses to die.

The sewer alligator was assembled from pieces of reality. Americans really did buy baby alligators. People really did abandon exotic pets. Crocodilians really have appeared in New York. Beneath the streets really does exist an enormous hidden geography of sewers, subway tunnels, utility corridors, buried waterways and infrastructure most of us will never see.

Folklore simply connected those facts and populated the darkness between them.

Today, New York has gone one step further and embraced the creature. In 2023, artist Alexander Klingspor’s NYC Legend placed an enormous bronze alligator atop a manhole cover in Union Square. The monster supposedly hunted beneath the city had finally returned to the surface as public art.

First New York feared the alligator.

Then it laughed at it.

Eventually, it made the thing a mascot.

And that may make the sewer alligator one of the prototypes for everything we’ve been exploring in The New Monsters. Long before Slender Man spread through internet forums, before the Backrooms became a collaboratively constructed online universe, and before millions of people analyzed pixels searching for the Fresno Nightcrawler, New Yorkers were already creating folklore in real time.

They simply did it with newspapers, books, schoolyards and stories passed from one person to another.

New York built an extraordinary artificial wilderness beneath itself.

And every wilderness eventually gets a monster.

NEXT TIME ON THE NEW MONSTERS: THE BUNNY MAN

Next time, we leave Manhattan behind and head for the rapidly expanding suburbs of Northern Virginia, where another distinctly American monster emerged from an entirely different landscape.

Our backdrop this time isn't the sewer.

It's the suburb.

In October 1970, police began receiving reports of a strange man wearing a rabbit costume who allegedly threatened people with an axe. Newspapers picked up the story. Then came another encounter.

Over the decades, those incidents accumulated escaped mental patients, mutilated animals, murdered children and a lonely railroad overpass that generations of teenagers would eventually visit after dark.

The strangest part of the Bunny Man legend isn't that much of what people believe about him never happened.

It's that something really did happen first.

Next time on The New Monsters: The Bunny Man.

The New Monsters: Alligators In The Sewers - part Two Sep 09, 2026

THE DEVIL WITHIN

The New Monsters: Alligators in the Sewers — Episode Two: The Man Who Saw Them

They kept seeing alligators.

Sometime in the 1930s, New York sewer inspectors began returning from beneath the city with an increasingly ridiculous claim: there were alligators living beneath Manhattan. Their boss, Theodore “Teddy” May, had a more reasonable explanation.

Whiskey.

According to Robert Daley's 1959 book The World Beneath the City, May became convinced his workers had discovered somewhere underground to hide booze. He sent men to investigate. Nobody found the whiskey.

But the alligator sightings continued.

Eventually, Teddy May decided to descend into the sewers himself—and according to the story he later told, his flashlight swept across the water and revealed something he hadn't expected to see.

Several alligators.

In Episode Two of Alligators in the Sewers, The Devil Within heads back beneath 1930s New York to meet the men whose jobs took them into a hidden world most New Yorkers would never see.

We explore what it was actually like to work inside Manhattan's enormous underground infrastructure, where sewer inspectors navigated brick tunnels by flashlight during the lowest-flow hours of the night. The dangers were very real: rapidly rising wastewater, powerful currents, blockages and deadly gases. And the things moving through those tunnels could be bizarre—barrels, Christmas trees, jewelry, false teeth, weapons and practically anything else New York managed to lose down a drain.

Then we meet Teddy May.

Part sewer worker, part foreman and apparently one hell of a storyteller, May would become the central figure in the sewer-alligator legend. His claims transformed the documented discovery of a single reptile beneath East Harlem into something much larger: an entire population living beneath Manhattan.

And then, according to the legend, New York fought back.

Daley's account describes an extraordinary extermination campaign in which sewer crews supposedly used poisoned food, powerful trunk-sewer currents and, in some versions, .22-caliber rifles to eliminate the animals. It's an irresistible image: Depression-era municipal workers disappearing through Manhattan manholes carrying flashlights and guns to hunt alligators beneath New York City.

There's just one problem.

The evidence for a citywide infestation—and the war supposedly waged against it—is considerably thinner than the story. No substantial contemporary municipal paper trail has emerged documenting an organized extermination campaign. What survives largely depends upon testimony recorded more than twenty years later.

But folklore was already taking over.

The ordinary reptiles of the earliest stories became pale, blind subterranean monsters, supposedly transformed by generations without sunlight and sustained by Manhattan's endless supply of rats. The biology doesn't work, but the mythology is perfect. An ordinary alligator beneath New York could simply be lost. A pale, blind alligator belonged there.

This is the story of the men beneath the manholes, the raconteur who gave their stories life, and the moment an escaped exotic pet became something uniquely New York.

This is The Man Who Saw Them.

The Devil's Ledger: Week of Sept. 7th Sep 08, 2026

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER

Week of September 8, 2026

MISTRIAL.

After seven weeks of testimony and roughly 36 hours of deliberations, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has ended with a hung jury in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Eleven jurors reportedly favored finding Clancy not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children. One juror disagreed, and Judge William Sullivan ultimately declared a mistrial.

So what happens now? Potentially, we do the whole thing again. A deadlocked jury generally does not trigger the double-jeopardy protection that would prevent prosecutors from retrying the case, leaving open the possibility of another trial, a negotiated resolution, or whatever comes next in a case that has already generated an extraordinary amount of public attention.

We'll keep following it. In the meantime, I suppose we'll have to wait for whichever juror signs the first book deal.

THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK

THE MASKED MENACE — CAUGHT

Remember our masked friend from Philadelphia?

A few weeks ago, we told you about a man roaming Center City Philadelphia in a disturbing white doll mask, approaching and chasing strangers and generally turning the morning commute into the opening ten minutes of a slasher movie.

Now we have an ending.

Authorities identified the suspect as 22-year-old Zymire Hughes, who police say harassed or terrorized more than fifteen people on August 12. In one particularly disturbing encounter, he allegedly approached a woman near JFK Boulevard and repeatedly asked her, “Are you ready to die?”

Hughes subsequently traveled from the Philadelphia area to Orlando and then Las Vegas. Newly released body-camera footage shows Las Vegas police and U.S. Marshals closing in on an apartment where authorities believed he was hiding. On August 25, the Nevada Violent Offender Task Force surrounded the complex.

Hughes came out.

The mask did not.

And perhaps the strangest detail of all is that investigators have suggested at least some of this behavior may have been intended for social-media content. Which raises the possibility that the mask wasn't worn because someone didn't want to be recognized.

Maybe it was worn because he wanted to be watched.

A generation ago, if somebody put on a horrifying mask and started chasing strangers through downtown Philadelphia, we'd ask: What the hell is wrong with this guy?

In 2026, apparently we have to ask another question:

Was he doing it for the algorithm?

That's the Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week.

THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN

THE NEW MONSTERS: ALLIGATORS IN THE SEWERS

This week's installment of The New Monsters deals with one of my favorite urban myths of all time.

Growing up in Northern New Jersey, Manhattan was right across the river, and for a kid in the 1980s it represented both sides of the cultural coin. It was the stuff of dreams—hip-hop, graffiti, Basquiat, clubs and the feeling that practically everything interesting in America was happening over there.

It was also the stuff of nightmares.

This was the New York of Son of Sam, abandoned buildings, graffiti-covered subway cars and an underground world that seemed to begin at the bottom of every subway staircase and continue forever beneath Manhattan.

And somewhere down there were the alligators.

At least where I grew up, nobody presented this as folklore. Somebody bought a baby alligator in Florida, brought it back to New York, discovered that baby alligators have the annoying habit of becoming adult alligators, and flushed it down the toilet.

Then it grew to twelve feet long beneath Manhattan and lived on rats.

Obviously.

The adults told us this stuff. We didn't invent it.

This week on The New Monsters, we're breaking down where the legend came from, the real alligators discovered in New York, the bizarre trade in baby alligators as Florida souvenirs and the stories of legendary sewer superintendent Teddy May that helped turn an isolated reptile into an entire subterranean population.

And here's the surprising part:

It's not as crazy as you might think.

The giant albino colonies are another matter.

THIS WEEK ON CRIMINAL MISCHIEF

BAD BLOOD: THE HATFIELDS AND THE McCOYS

Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio rolls up her sleeves and heads into one of the most famous family feuds in American history: the Hatfields and the McCoys.

Long before reality television discovered that Americans would happily spend an hour watching two families scream at one another, the Hatfields and McCoys were doing it with considerably higher stakes.

The feud unfolded along the Kentucky–West Virginia border in the decades following the Civil War and became so deeply embedded in American folklore that the family names themselves became shorthand for any argument that has gone on so long nobody can quite remember why everyone is still angry.

But beneath the mythology were real people, real politics, property disputes, murder and revenge. Carolyn separates the history from the caricature this week in Bad Blood, on Criminal Mischief.

THIS WEEK ON THE SLIPPERY

Scott and Nancy are taking the Labor Day holiday off this week, no doubt researching another scammer, fraudster or human-shaped warning label whose story will eventually have you stopping halfway through the episode to Google:

“Wait... is this actually real?”

They'll be back next week.

Hang in there.

THIS WEEK IN HORROR

ONSLAUGHT

This week in horror, ONSLAUGHT, the new R-rated action-horror movie from director Adam Wingard, gives us an Army sniper veteran forced to unleash everything she knows when a rogue squad of genetically engineered super-soldiers threatens her young daughter.

And if that sounds gloriously like somebody discovered an unproduced screenplay behind a Blockbuster Video in 1989 and decided to spend actual money making it nearly four decades later, you understand why it made this week's Ledger.

Genetically engineered super-soldiers. Army sniper mom. Dan Stevens. Michael freaking Biehn.

I'm not sure what else you people want from me.

Onslaught is in theaters now.

ACROSS THE EVIO UNIVERSE

That's it for this week's Devil's Ledger.

Happy September, everybody. We survived August, Labor Day is behind us, football is back, playoff baseball is approaching, and somewhere out there somebody has already ordered a pumpkin-spice latte while it's still ninety-four degrees outside.

The New Monsters: Alligators in the Sewers - Part One Sep 07, 2026

THE DEVIL WITHIN

The New Monsters: Alligators in the Sewers — Episode One: Beneath the City

On February 9, 1935, three teenagers shoveling snow into an open manhole on East 123rd Street reportedly discovered something moving beneath the ice.

An alligator.

The following morning, The New York Times carried the headline “ALLIGATOR FOUND IN UPTOWN SEWER.” The animal was reportedly seven to eight feet long, weighed roughly 125 pounds and had been dragged from beneath East Harlem using a makeshift noose fashioned from clothesline. Whatever happened on that winter afternoon, the story gave one of America's greatest urban legends something most legends can only dream of: a date, an address and witnesses.

But before we can hunt alligators beneath Manhattan, we have to understand how an entire hidden world came to exist beneath New York in the first place.

In Episode One of our latest New Monsters investigation, we descend into the history of the city beneath the city—from Manhattan's vanished streams and polluted Collect Pond to overflowing cesspools, cholera epidemics and the massive nineteenth-century engineering projects that transformed New York. The arrival of Croton water in 1842 helped create a new problem on an enormous scale: all that water eventually had to go somewhere. The solution was a vast network of brick-lined sewers constructed beneath a rapidly expanding metropolis.

Then we head south to the Sunshine State, where Florida's booming tourist industry once offered visitors a souvenir that would be almost unimaginable today: living baby alligators. They were cute, exotic and small enough to bring home. Unfortunately, alligators possess the irritating habit of becoming considerably larger alligators.

And that's where the legend gives us the image that has survived for generations: the unwanted pet disappearing down the toilet and into the sewers below.

The plumbing makes that particular scenario considerably more complicated than folklore suggests. The biology is even less cooperative; New York's cold underground environment is a miserable place for an alligator to establish a permanent home. Yet the reptile reportedly discovered in 1935 was real enough to make headlines—and that was all the story needed.

Finally, we meet Teddy May, the New York sewer worker whose stories would transform one misplaced reptile into something much larger. More than twenty years later, writer Robert Daley recorded May's extraordinary claims in The World Beneath the City: according to May, there hadn't been just one alligator beneath Manhattan.

There were dozens.

Was there really a colony living beneath New York? Were unwanted Florida souvenirs somehow surviving underground? And how did ordinary reptiles eventually become the enormous, pale, blind sewer monsters generations of Americans grew up hearing about?

Welcome to Alligators in the Sewers.

Welcome back to The New Monsters.

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER

Week of August 30, 2026

Mother Nature reminds us who's in charge, a Colombian “sorcerer” faces the horrifying consequences of a healing ritual, The Fresno Nightcrawler walks into The New Monsters, Carolyn Ossorio investigates the murder of Dee Warner, and The Slippery opens the mailbag and reveals what they're working on next. Then, in This Week in Horror, we enter the deeply deranged children's television nightmare of Buddy.

THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK: THE SORCERER OF LIBORINA

This week's story takes us back to 2021 and rural Antioquia, Colombia, where a 31-year-old mother of four sought spiritual healing from a man known as the Sorcerer of Liborina.

According to prosecutors, Martín Rangel Londoño Jaramillo covered the woman with a homemade mixture containing alcohol, sulfur and camphor before setting fire to the substance as part of the ritual. The woman suffered burns across approximately 70 percent of her body. Investigators allege that instead of immediately seeking emergency treatment, the Sorcerer sent her home with an herbal remedy. She eventually reached a hospital in Medellín but died about a week later. Authorities subsequently arrested Londoño Jaramillo on a murder charge; he denied the accusations.

It's a disturbing reminder of an ancient human vulnerability: when we're suffering, we'll sometimes place extraordinary trust in anyone who promises they can make the suffering stop.

THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN

Our journey through The New Monsters continues with one of the internet age's strangest cryptids: The Fresno Nightcrawler.

It begins with grainy security footage from Fresno, California, showing a pale, impossibly thin figure seemingly composed almost entirely of legs walking across a lawn in the middle of the night. The footage raised far more questions than it answered—and then the Nightcrawler received the one thing every aspiring cryptid needs if it hopes to become genuine folklore:

A second sighting.

Hear the incredible story of the Fresno Nightcrawler this week on The Devil Within.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF

Carolyn Ossorio investigates the disappearance and murder of Dee Warner, a Michigan mother of five who vanished from her property in 2021 following an argument with her husband, Dale. Years of searching ultimately led investigators back to the property, where Dee's remains were discovered concealed inside a fertilizer tank. Dale Warner was subsequently convicted of second-degree murder and tampering with evidence.

Carolyn takes us through the disappearance, the investigation and the breakthrough that finally revealed what happened to Dee.

THE SLIPPERY

Scott and Nancy revisit several stories they've covered so far, bringing us new developments, unanswered questions and cases that weren't nearly as finished as they appeared.

They'll also take us behind the scenes to reveal what's currently being investigated—including a new cancer scammer series coming this fall—before opening the mailbag to respond to your comments, questions and observations about the show.

THIS WEEK IN HORROR: BUDDY

Director Casper Kelly, the wonderfully warped mind behind Too Many Cooks, brings us Buddy, a supernatural black comedy starring Cristin Milioti, Delaney Quinn, Topher Grace and Michael Shannon, with Patton Oswalt and Keegan-Michael Key joining the madness.

The premise? A group of children become trapped inside an aggressively cheerful 1990s-style television show hosted by a giant bright-orange unicorn named Buddy. The songs are catchy, the colors are bright, the life lessons are plentiful—and then Buddy decides his young friends aren't leaving.

It's childhood nostalgia fed through a wood chipper, and frankly, we're in.

The New Monsters: The Black-Eyed Children - Part Three Aug 28, 2026

The Eyes of Fear

The New Monsters – Story Five, Episode Three

Why do monsters survive in an age of science?

Why do ancient fears continue to evolve in a world filled with smartphones, surveillance cameras, artificial intelligence, and instant access to information?

And why, after nearly thirty years, do people still report encounters with the Black-Eyed Children?

In the concluding chapter of this three-part investigation, The Devil Within moves beyond eyewitness accounts and paranormal speculation to explore a more fascinating question: why do stories like this refuse to die?

This week, Branden Morgan examines the remarkable science behind memory, intuition, and eyewitness testimony, revealing why the human brain is far more sophisticated—and far less reliable—than most of us realize. Are the Black-Eyed Children evidence of something supernatural? Could they be the product of suggestion, folklore, and the extraordinary way our minds reconstruct emotionally charged experiences? Or does the truth lie somewhere between those two possibilities?

As the investigation unfolds, we discover that the legend's greatest strength may have nothing to do with black eyes at all. Instead, it lies in a deeply familiar human experience: the unsettling feeling that something is wrong long before we can explain why. It is a sensation nearly everyone has experienced at some point in life—a warning whispered by instinct before conscious thought has assembled the evidence.

The episode then widens its lens to examine the evolution of modern mythology itself. From the changelings of Celtic folklore to vampires, fairies, ghost children, and finally the Black-Eyed Children, every civilization has created stories about strangers who appear almost human while violating some deeply rooted expectation of what it means to be safe. These legends are less about proving the supernatural than preserving emotional truths that transcend generations.

As The Black-Eyed Children comes to its haunting conclusion, the series also completes the first chapter of The New Monsters.

Together, these stories have explored the fears that define our age. The Frogman reflected our growing anxiety over environmental collapse. The Montauk Monster embodied our suspicion of powerful institutions. Slender Man demonstrated that mythology can now be created collaboratively by millions of strangers. The Backrooms transformed the architecture of modern life into the haunted houses of the twenty-first century. And now, The Black-Eyed Children ask perhaps the oldest question of all:

Can we still trust what appears familiar?

Because every generation creates its own monsters.

But the greatest monsters have never been the creatures lurking in the darkness.

They've always been the ones standing in the light.

Next time on The New Monsters, we investigate one of the strangest pieces of modern cryptid folklore ever captured on camera. A grainy security video from Fresno, California appears to show an impossible figure walking calmly across a suburban lawn. No arms. No visible torso. Just two impossibly long white legs gliding effortlessly through the darkness.

Could it be a camera hoax?

An elaborate costume?

The New Monsters: The Black-Eyed Children - Part Two Aug 26, 2026

The New Monsters: The Black-Eyed Children - Part Two

The Children at the Door

They never break in.

They never force the door.

They simply ask.

In the second chapter of The Black-Eyed Children, Branden Morgan investigates one of the most unsettling patterns in modern paranormal folklore. Following journalist Brian Bethel's now- famous encounter in Texas, reports of eerily similar experiences began surfacing across NorthAmerica.

Different witnesses.

Different cities.

Different decades.

Yet the stories shared an astonishing number of details.

Two children.

Late at night.

Perfectly polite.

An overwhelming sense that something is terribly wrong.

And one simple request.

"May we come inside?"

The Devil's Ledger - Week of August 24th, 2026 Aug 24, 2026

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER

Week of August 24, 2026

It is still freakin’ August.

This week on The Devil’s Ledger, we surrender to the heat and turn our attention toward masked lunatics, black-eyed children, Victorian blackmail, spectacular fraud, and another trip into a supernatural dimension that desperately needs better lighting.

We begin with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Chucky Mask Spree. Philadelphia police say a masked man targeted at least half a dozen people during a bizarre early-morning spree, including a 40-year-old jogger whom he allegedly chased after asking whether she was ready to die. Surveillance cameras captured the suspect wearing a Chucky-style doll mask—and investigators noticed that beneath it he appeared to be wearing another black face covering.

Fictional monsters are considerably less entertaining when someone decides to wear their face in the real world.

👹 THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN

The New Monsters continues with The Black-Eyed Children, one of the internet age’s most unsettling urban legends.

They appear outside homes, beside cars and on lonely streets asking for help—and eventually asking to be allowed inside. Then their victims notice the eyes: completely black.

We trace the origins of the legend, how the stories spread across the internet, and the much older piece of folklore hiding beneath them: the idea that evil sometimes requires an invitation.

This week on The Devil Within: The New Monsters — The Black-Eyed Children.

🔎 THIS WEEK ON CRIMINAL MISCHIEF

Carolyn Ossorio trades true crime for the original master detective with a special reading of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Scandal in Bohemia.”

First published in 1891, the story introduces Irene Adler, the extraordinary woman who manages to do what remarkably few characters in the Sherlock Holmes canon ever accomplish: outmaneuver Holmes himself.

Royalty, romance, blackmail, disguises and one dangerously important photograph send Holmes and Watson into one of Doyle’s cleverest adventures.

Pour yourself something appropriate, settle in and prepare for a trip to 221B Baker Street.

And yes, we’re allowing Carolyn to attempt the accents.

We may regret this.

💰 THIS WEEK ON THE SLIPPERY

Meet Lacy Johnson, a woman accused of approaching fraud less like a specialty and more like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Her alleged schemes ranged from faking a life-threatening cancer diagnosis and operating a bogus charity purportedly supporting American troops to identity theft, financial manipulation and even burglarizing and vandalizing the home of a former employer.

Her most devastating alleged cons, however, were reserved for the people who believed they were closest to her: romantic partners who discovered that intimacy itself could become another tool for extracting money.

It’s The Relentless Hustle of Lyin’ Lacy Johnson, this week on The Slippery.

🎬 THIS WEEK IN HORROR

We’re heading back into The Further with Insidious: Out of the Further, the sixth installment in the Insidious franchise.

This time, Gemma discovers she possesses the ability to enter The Further—and, considerably less conveniently, bring things back with her.

Naturally, the inhabitants of that purgatorial nightmare eventually realize what she can do. Lin Shaye also returns as Elise Rainier, continuing her admirable refusal to allow something as trivial as death to interfere with steady employment.

Sometimes you want elevated horror examining grief, trauma and the existential uncertainty of human existence.

Sometimes you want demons.

This week, we’re going with demons.

You Have Been Here Before

The New Monsters – Story Four, Episode One

What if the most terrifying place you've ever imagined isn't a haunted mansion, an abandoned asylum, or a forgotten cemetery?

What if it's an office building?

This week on The Devil Within, Branden Morgan begins a new three-part investigation into one of the internet's most extraordinary pieces of modern folklore: The Backrooms.

What started as a single anonymous photograph posted online in 2019 quickly became a global phenomenon, inspiring millions of people to ask an unsettling question:

"Why does this place feel so familiar?"

Unlike the monsters we've explored throughout The New Monsters, the Backrooms have no ancient legend, no centuries of oral tradition, and no historical eyewitness accounts stretching back through time. Instead, they represent something entirely new—a mythology born from architecture itself.

In this first chapter, we trace the mysterious origins of the now-famous photograph and examine

the surprising psychology behind liminal spaces. Why do empty airports after midnight, deserted shopping malls, abandoned school hallways, and silent office buildings evoke such powerful feelings of unease? Why do so many people insist they've experienced the Backrooms long before they ever heard the name?

Along the way, we explore the concept of "no-clipping," the language of modern video games that gave birth to one of the internet's most enduring horror concepts, and discover why the Backrooms resonate so deeply with a generation raised in a world of fluorescent lights, endless hallways, and anonymous commercial spaces.

This isn't merely the story of an internet meme.

It's the story of how an ordinary photograph revealed something extraordinary about the human mind—and how the buildings we constructed for efficiency may have accidentally become the haunted houses of the twenty-first century.

Next week, the empty hallways won't remain empty for long. Thousands of strangers begin expanding the mythology, creating new levels, impossible creatures, explorer journals, survival guides, and one of the richest collaborative horror universes ever assembled online. We'll explore how the internet transformed a single unsettling image into an entire ecosystem of modern folklore, and why every civilization eventually feels compelled to populate its nightmares.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of August 17th Aug 17, 2026

The Devil's Ledger — Week of August 17, 2026

The universe put on one hell of a show this week.

We begin with Spain's spectacular August 12 solar eclipse and humanity's long, occasionally unhinged relationship with watching the sun disappear. For The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, we travel from ancient Greece—where an eclipse could signal that the gods had essentially abandoned humanity—to Choctaw stories of a giant black squirrel attempting to devour the sun and Vietnamese legends of a celestial frog swallowing it whole.

And apparently scientific literacy hasn't completely saved us. Modern eclipse superstitions warn of poisoned food, birthday curses and even the possibility that washing your hair during an eclipse could somehow affect your sanity. Three thousand years ago we feared an angry god had extinguished the sun. Today we're worried about the potato salad. Progress remains uneven.

Then, across the Evio Universe this week:

On The Devil Within, The New Monsters continues with The Backrooms, the internet-born nightmare built around the idea that reality itself has seams. Slip through the wrong one and you could find yourself trapped inside an apparently endless maze of yellow wallpaper, stained carpeting, fluorescent lights and empty rooms. What began as an unsettling image evolved into an enormous collaborative mythology of levels, entities, rules and stories—and ultimately escaped the internet into games, movies and mainstream popular culture.

On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio breaks down the extraordinary new developments surrounding Luigi Mangione. Following his federal guilty plea in connection with the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, attention now turns toward New York's pending murder case and an increasingly important question: double jeopardy. Federal and state governments are generally treated as separate sovereigns under federal constitutional law, while New York provides additional statutory protections against successive prosecutions. Carolyn examines what Mangione's plea means, what it doesn't mean, and why the next major battle may happen before another jury ever hears the case.

On The Slippery, we meet Olga Rutterschmidt and Helen Golay, the elderly Los Angeles women whose apparent efforts to help unhoused men concealed an astonishing insurance scheme. Prosecutors established that the pair befriended vulnerable men, obtained numerous life-insurance policies on them and eventually murdered Paul Vados and Kenneth McDavid in staged hit-and-run incidents before collecting millions in insurance proceeds. The scheme began unraveling when one detective overheard another discussing a suspicious death and remembered an eerily similar case. The same two women appeared in both files. From there came insurance investigators, undercover operations and the slow dismantling of an extraordinary criminal enterprise.

And This Week in Horror, we're talking Ice Cream Man, Eli Roth's gleefully deranged throwback to the excesses of 1980s horror: an idyllic summer town, a mysterious ice cream man and frozen treats capable of turning children into homicidal killers. It's bloody, ridiculous and precisely the sort of movie that understands sometimes the best horror premise begins by taking something completely innocent and ruining it forever.

So keep looking toward the stars, enjoy these final weeks of summer, and we'll see you somewhere this week across the Evio Universe.

The New Monsters: Slender Man - Part Three Aug 14, 2026

When the Story Drew Blood

The New Monsters : Slender Man - Part Three

Some stories entertain us. Others change us.

This week's episode of The Devil Within explores the moment when one of the internet's most famous legends collided with the real world, forever changing how we think about digital folklore, childhood, and the stories we tell ourselves.

In May of 2014, two twelve-year-old girls led their best friend into the woods outside Waukesha, Wisconsin, believing they were acting on behalf of Slender Man. The shocking attack dominated headlines around the world and immediately sparked fears that an internet horror story had somehow escaped the screen. But as investigators, psychologists, and psychiatrists began examining the case, a far more complicated picture emerged.

This episode follows that investigation—not to sensationalize a tragedy, but to understand it. We separate documented psychiatric evidence from public speculation, exploring how mythology, mental illness, childhood development, and the digital world intersected in ways that defied the simple explanations so many desperately wanted.

From courtroom testimony and psychological evaluations to the broader cultural aftermath, we examine why Slender Man became much more than an internet character. He became a case study in how modern folklore spreads, how vulnerable minds can incorporate cultural symbols into delusional beliefs, and why stories have always reflected the fears of the societies that create them.

The journey doesn't end in Waukesha. We follow Slender Man's transformation from internet horror icon into a subject of academic research, documentaries, and popular culture, asking what historians may one day conclude about the first monster humanity watched being born in real time.

Ultimately, this isn't a story about whether Slender Man was real.

It's about the very real power of stories, the responsibility we carry as storytellers, and the timeless human instinct to search for meaning in places where certainty is impossible.

Next week, The New Monsters turns away from creatures entirely and steps into a place that has never existed—and yet somehow feels hauntingly familiar. It begins with a single photograph of an empty office hallway. No blood. No ghost. No monster. Just fluorescent lights, stained carpeting, and the unsettling feeling that you've been there before. Welcome to The Backrooms, where the internet didn't create a monster...

It created a memory.

The New Monsters: Slender Man - Part Two Aug 12, 2026

When Fiction Escaped the Screen

The New Monsters – Story Three, Episode Two

Every legend eventually reaches a moment when it no longer belongs to the person who created it.

King Arthur escaped the poets who first imagined Camelot. Dracula grew far beyond Bram Stoker's novel. Frankenstein's creature became more famous than Victor Frankenstein himself. Stories survive because generations of strangers decide they're worth retelling.

In this week's episode of The Devil Within, Branden Morgan explores the extraordinary moment when that same process unfolded before our eyes.

Just days after Eric Knudsen introduced Slender Man to the internet, thousands of artists, writers, filmmakers, gamers, and ordinary people began adding pieces to the mythology. No studio coordinated the effort. No publisher managed the continuity. Instead, millions of strangers unknowingly collaborated on what became history's first truly open-source monster.

The journey takes us from the Something Awful forums to Marble Hornets, the groundbreaking YouTube series that transformed viewers into investigators and proved that horror could thrive not through expensive special effects, but through participation. Along the way, we examine why the internet accelerated folklore in ways no civilization had ever experienced before, compressing a process that once required centuries into only a few months.

But beneath the story of Slender Man lies a much larger question.

What happens when technology allows millions of people to create the same myth together?

Perhaps the internet didn't change human nature at all.

Perhaps it simply became the newest campfire around which we gather to tell stories.

Next week, the series reaches its devastating conclusion as fiction collides with reality in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Two twelve-year-old girls commit one of the most shocking crimes of the digital age after convincing themselves they must prove their loyalty to Slender Man. The case horrified the world and forced psychologists, investigators, journalists, and parents to confront a question that remains deeply unsettling: Can a fictional monster bear responsibility for real-world violence, or does the answer reveal something far more disturbing about ourselves?

The Devil Within is written and hosted by Branden Morgan and produced by Evio Creative.

The New Monsters: Slender Man - Part One Aug 10, 2026

The Day We Invented a MonsterThe New Monsters – Episode One

For thousands of years, humanity has created monsters.

But we rarely know who created them.

Vampires emerged from centuries of whispered folklore. Werewolves wandered through medieval Europe long before anyone thought to record the first storyteller's name. Ghosts belonged to abandoned houses, forgotten battlefields, and generations of frightened imaginations.

Then, in June of 2009, something unprecedented happened.

An ordinary graphic designer entered an online Photoshop contest and unknowingly created the first monster whose birth was documented almost frame by frame. His name was Eric Knudsen. The creature he imagined became known as Slender Man.

This week on The Devil Within, Branden Morgan begins a three-part investigation into the first great myth of the internet age, exploring how a pair of manipulated photographs evolved into one of the most influential pieces of modern folklore ever created.

More importantly...

Why were millions of people so eager to believe?

This isn't simply the story of Slender Man.

It's the story of how the internet became humanity's newest campfire—and how mythology no longer requires centuries to evolve.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of August 10th Aug 10, 2026

THE DEVIL’S LEDGERWeek of August 10, 2026

Apparently, I’ve spent the last few weeks lying to myself about fall being “just around the corner.” Then the calendar rudely reminds me that it’s early August, the sidewalks are hot enough to cook breakfast, and summer is still very much... summering. Hang in there, people. We’ll get there eventually.

This week on The Devil’s Ledger, we begin with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week and travel to the wetlands of Southern Maryland, where Kings Landing Park has attracted renewed paranormal attention surrounding a mysterious figure known as Mary. Visitors, staff, and investigators have reported unexplained cries, footsteps without an obvious source, and sightings of a sorrowful young woman dressed in white wandering near the marsh before disappearing among the trees.

Then, on The Devil Within, The New Monsters continues with Slender Man, perhaps the perfect case study in how modern folklore can be created before our eyes. We trace the legend from an online Photoshop contest through its explosive growth across the internet and into the horrifying real-world Wisconsin stabbing, asking what happens when millions of people are suddenly able to participate in building a mythology together.

Criminal Mischief is taking the week off while Carolyn prepares for another ambitious deep-dive limited series planned for early next year. There’s much more coming on that front, so stay tuned.

Over on The Slippery, we pull back the mask on one of the strangest double lives in modern true crime: ChiefsAholic. Xaviar Babudar became a familiar sight at Kansas City Chiefs games in his towering gray wolf costume, while authorities say the high-stakes gambler was simultaneously responsible for a string of violent bank robberies across the Midwest. This week, The Slippery follows the police reports and financial trail behind the superfan whose obsession with football, gambling, and an increasingly chaotic lifestyle eventually made him a fugitive.

And This Week in Horror, we head to the Italian countryside for Immaculate, starring Sydney Sweeney. Cecilia arrives at an isolated convent expecting a life devoted to faith, only to discover increasingly disturbing miracles, sinister rituals, and secrets buried within the institution around her. Atmospheric, beautifully shot, and steeped in religious horror, this one is definitely worth checking out.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. For God’s sake, wear sunscreen. Before long we’ll all be complaining that it gets dark at 5:30 and arguing about Halloween candy.

Until then, we’ll see you somewhere across the Evio Universe.

The New Monsters: Montauk - Part Three Aug 07, 2026

The New Monsters: Montauk - Part Three

The Monster We Needed

The Montauk Monster was never just about a strange carcass lying on a Long Island beach.

It was about trust.

Why did millions of otherwise rational people immediately believe that a decomposing animal might be the product of secret government experiments? Why did Camp Hero, Plum Island, and decades of Cold War secrecy become inseparable from a single photograph?

In the conclusion to our three-part Montauk investigation, Branden Morgan explores the uncomfortable answer: perhaps the creature itself never mattered.

What mattered was the world that created it.

From MKUltra and government secrecy to the internet's ability to accelerate folklore at unprecedented speed, this episode examines how modern myths emerge—not because people abandon reason, but because uncertainty demands a story.

The Montauk Monster wasn't simply another cryptid.

It may have been one of the first monsters truly born in the digital age.

In This Episode:

Why conspiracy theories flourish when public trust erodes
The documented legacy of MKUltra and why it changed public perception
How real government secrecy gave rise to modern folklore
Why Camp Hero and Plum Island became fertile ground for speculation
The psychology behind modern conspiracy thinking
Why myths evolve faster than facts in the internet era
The Montauk Monster as one of the first internet-born cryptids
What the legend ultimately reveals about modern America—not biology

The Devil Within Theme

The greatest monsters are rarely the ones hiding in the shadows. They're the stories we create when certainty disappears.

Featured This Week

When people stop trusting the institutions that once explained the world, they don't stop believing altogether. They simply begin searching for new explanations. Sometimes those explanations become science. Sometimes history. And sometimes... they become monsters.

Camp Hero and its Cold War history
Plum Island and the facts behind decades of speculation
MKUltra and the unintended birth of modern conspiracy culture
How folklore migrated from campfires to message boards
Why the internet has become humanity's newest myth-making machine

Next Time on The New Monsters

The investigation moves from abandoned military installations into an entirely different wilderness:

The internet.

In 2009, a simple Photoshop contest gave birth to a faceless figure known as Slender Man. He wasn't discovered in ancient folklore or whispered about for generations. He was deliberately created online.

Then something extraordinary happened.

People began claiming they had seen him.

The story spread across forums, videos, games, and social media before culminating in one of the most disturbing crimes of the digital age. We'll examine how fiction escaped the screen, why the human mind embraced the impossible, and whether the internet has become the birthplace of an entirely new kind of mythology.

The New Monsters: Montauk - Part Two Aug 05, 2026

The New Monsters: Montauk — Episode Two

Long before the Montauk Monster washed ashore, there was another mystery already waiting at the eastern edge of Long Island.

Its name was Camp Hero.

Towering radar antennas once scanned the Atlantic from windswept bluffs overlooking the ocean, searching for Soviet bombers during the darkest years of the Cold War. Nearby, the federal laboratories of Plum Island quietly conducted research behind locked gates, fueling decades of speculation about what might be happening just beyond public view.

History tells one story.

Folklore tells another.

In Episode Two of The New Monsters, Branden Morgan separates documented history from enduring myth, exploring how an abandoned military installation became one of America's greatest conspiracy legends—and why secrecy itself may be the most powerful monster of all.

From Cold War air-defense systems and classified government programs to the infamous Montauk Project and the surprising origins of Stranger Things, this episode reveals how history, psychology, and imagination combined to create one of the most influential modern myths in America.

Because before anyone believed in the Montauk Monster...

they first had to believe in Montauk.

The documented history of Camp Hero
America's Cold War radar defense network
Why abandoned military installations inspire folklore
The real history of Plum Island and its animal disease laboratory
The origins of the Montauk Project conspiracy
How government secrecy fuels modern mythology
Why Stranger Things was originally conceived as Montauk
The psychology of conspiracy theories and belief
How fiction and reality continue feeding one another

Every generation creates the monsters it deserves.

Ancient civilizations imagined dragons beyond the edge of the map. Medieval Europe feared witches. Modern America fears secret laboratories, classified research, and technologies hidden behind locked gates. The monsters evolve—but the fears beneath them remain remarkably familiar.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of August 3rd Aug 03, 2026

The Devil's LedgerWeek of August 3, 2026

Summer has a way of making the world feel a little smaller. The days are long, the evenings are warm, vacations are winding down, and before we know it backpacks will replace beach towels and football will once again dominate our weekends. But this summer has also reminded us how fragile that world can be.

This week, The Devil's Ledger opens with a heartfelt reflection on the devastating wildfires sweeping across Europe and the Pacific Northwest, exploring what these increasingly destructive fire seasons mean for future generations—and why protecting the environment may be one of the greatest gifts we can leave those who come after us.

We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, examining a remarkable Bigfoot encounter in Connecticut that received one of the highest credibility ratings issued by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. Is it evidence of Sasquatch, or simply another chapter in America's longest-running monster story? More importantly, what does the public's reaction tell us about how modern folklore continues to evolve?

On The Devil Within, Branden Morgan continues The New Monsters with the astonishing story of The Montauk Monster. What began as a mysterious carcass washing ashore on a Long Island beach quickly exploded into one of the internet's defining conspiracy theories, inspiring speculation about secret government experiments, Plum Island, and eventually influencing one of the biggest television phenomena of the century: Stranger Things. It's less a story about a dead creature than about how distrust gives birth to mythology.

Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio breaks down the latest developments in the Bryan Kohberger case following his attempt to withdraw his guilty plea. Why make such a dramatic legal move now? What does it mean for prosecutors, the victims' families, and the future of the case? Carolyn separates legal reality from media speculation in one of the year's most closely watched criminal proceedings.

Meanwhile, The Slippery investigates the astonishing rise and spectacular downfall of Bikram Choudhury, the self-proclaimed yoga guru who built a worldwide empire on charisma, deception, and control before allegations of fraud, abuse, and sexual assault sent him fleeing the United States. It's the story of narcissism, manipulation, and the people courageous enough to expose one of wellness culture's biggest frauds.

Finally, in This Week in Horror, we recommend Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. At first glance it may seem an unlikely horror recommendation, but its unforgettable visit to Circe's island—and its parade of monsters, gods, curses, and impossible journeys—proves that some of the greatest horror stories ever told were written thousands of years ago.

Thank you for spending another week with us across the Evio Universe. Stay safe, enjoy these last precious weeks of summer, and we'll see you again next week with more stories that explore history, mystery, crime, horror, and the strange corners of the world we all share.

The New Monsters: Montauk - Part One Aug 03, 2026

The Montauk Monster: The Beast on the Beach

The New Monsters — Episode One

In July 2008, a grotesque carcass washed ashore on a beach in Montauk, New York. Within hours, photographs of the strange creature had spread across the internet, igniting one of the first truly viral cryptid mysteries of the digital age. Was it a mutated experiment from nearby Plum Island? An escaped government bioweapon? Or simply a decomposing raccoon whose appearance had been distorted by nature and decomposition?

In this premiere episode of The New Monsters, Branden Morgan explores far more than the identity of one dead animal. He investigates the birthplace of modern mythology itself—and asks why, in an era of smartphones and instant information, we continue creating monsters faster than ever before.

From the abandoned radar towers of Camp Hero to decades of Cold War secrecy, from the government's heavily restricted Plum Island research facility to the cultural legacy that inspired Stranger Things, this episode examines how secrecy, abandoned places, and public distrust combine to create legends that feel almost impossible to resist.

Because sometimes the monster isn't what washed ashore.

Sometimes it's the story we needed to tell.

In This EpisodeThe Devil Within

Why the eastern tip of Long Island has attracted conspiracy theories for decades
The forgotten military history of Camp Hero
Plum Island and the research that fueled decades of speculation
Why abandoned government facilities become breeding grounds for folklore
How Stranger Things originally began as Montauk
The psychology behind conspiracy theories
The viral photograph that created one of America's newest monsters
Why uncertainty is often more powerful than evidence

Theme

Distrust creates monsters.

When institutions become secretive, information becomes scarce, and facts become difficult to verify, stories rush in to fill the void. The Montauk Monster isn't simply about a mysterious carcass—it represents the moment modern folklore went viral.

The Monsters We Still Create - The Things That Really Live Beneath The Water Jul 31, 2026

The Devil Within

The Monsters We Still Create

Episode Three: The Things That Really Live Beneath the Water

The Frogman of High Falls has led us on an unexpected journey. We began with a modern cryptid hiding in the mist beneath Rochester's famous waterfall. We explored the city's remarkable rise as an industrial powerhouse, examined how abandoned places inspire folklore, and discovered how the human mind—and now the internet—can transform uncertainty into legend.

Now we arrive at the conclusion.

In the final chapter of The Monsters We Still Create, Branden Morgan leaves mythology behind and follows the evidence back to the Genesee River itself. From the environmental awakening that reshaped America after rivers like the Cuyahoga caught fire, to the remarkable recovery of western New York's waterways, we explore the quiet reality that ecosystems remember everything we do to them. The true story isn't one of radioactive monsters or government experiments. It's the far more profound story of how nature absorbs our choices, adapts to them, and, when given the chance, begins to heal.

But perhaps the Frogman was never really about amphibians at all.

Perhaps he exists because every civilization creates monsters that reflect its deepest fears.

The Frogman may never have walked the banks of the Genesee River.

But the questions he asks us are very real.

Join us as we conclude this three-part series and discover why the greatest monsters have never been the ones hiding in the darkness—they're the ones that inspire us to finally look beneath the surface.

The Monsters We Still Create: Watching A Legend Being Born Jul 29, 2026

The Devil Within

The Monsters We Still Create

Episode Two: Watching a Legend Being Born

In Episode Two of The Monsters We Still Create, we leave the history books behind and venture into something even more mysterious—the human mind. Why do intelligent, honest people become convinced they've witnessed something extraordinary? Why do some places seem to invite legends while others never do?

This week, we explore the fascinating psychology behind eyewitness accounts, revealing how memory, expectation, and the unique atmosphere surrounding Rochester's High Falls can transform an ordinary moment into an unforgettable encounter. Standing beside the mist-filled

Genesee River, where abandoned mills and restored factories share the same landscape, we discover why modern industrial ruins have become the perfect birthplace for twenty-first century monsters.

Then we examine what may be the greatest storytelling invention in human history: the internet.

Around ancient campfires, legends took generations to evolve. Today, a blurry photograph, a strange sound, or a single social media post can reach millions of people in a matter of hours. Is the Frogman of High Falls simply another cryptid—or are we witnessing the birth of folklore in real time?

Sometimes monsters aren't discovered.

Sometimes they're created.

And sometimes, the most fascinating mystery isn't whether a creature exists, but why so many people want it to.

Join us as we continue our search for The Frogman of High Falls—and discover why every generation creates the monsters it needs.

The Monsters We Still Create: A Monster For The Machine Age Jul 27, 2026

The Devil Within

The Monsters We Still Create

Episode One: A Monster for the Machine Age

Every monster has an origin story.

Some are born in the ancient forests of Europe. Others emerge from forgotten mountain ranges or disappear into the depths of dark lakes. But the Frogman of High Falls is different.

He doesn't seem to come from medieval folklore or Indigenous legend. He appears suddenly, in the shadow of abandoned factories, crumbling mills, and one of America's great industrial rivers.

In the first chapter of The Monsters We Still Create, Branden Morgan travels to Rochester, New York, where the Genesee River has carved its way through limestone for thousands of years. Long before Kodak, Xerox, and the Flour City transformed the landscape, High Falls stood as one of nature's enduring monuments. But as industry flourished, the river became both the engine of prosperity and the silent witness to everything civilization left behind.

How does a city built on innovation become the birthplace of a brand-new monster?

This episode explores the remarkable history of Rochester, the rise of American industry, the environmental scars left behind, and the fascinating realization that the Frogman of High Falls has almost no historical footprint before the modern era. Perhaps that's because this isn't an ancient legend at all.

Perhaps it's a monster that could only have been born in the twentieth century.

Join us as we begin a three-part exploration into one of America's newest cryptids—and ask whether monsters are discovered... or created.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of July 27th. Jul 27, 2026

The Devil's Ledger

Week of July 27, 2026

The dog days of summer are here, but across the Evio Creative universe things are only getting stranger.

This week, we explore one of the most unsettling developments in modern technology: an advanced AI agent that escaped its testing environment during a cybersecurity evaluation and successfully hacked another company's systems. It wasn't science fiction—but it may become something even more powerful: the first great campfire story of the AI age. As we launch The New Monsters, we examine how today's anxieties become tomorrow's folklore, and why every generation creates the monsters it needs.

This Week on The Devil Within

We begin an all-new documentary series:

The New Monsters

Our first stop is The Frogman of High Falls, New York—a cryptid unlike the legends of old. Born not from ancient superstition, but from polluted rivers, abandoned factories, environmental collapse, and our growing distrust of progress itself, the Frogman asks a haunting question:

Do monsters emerge from nature... or from what we've done to it?

This isn't just a story about a creature in the water. It's about how modern myths are born—and what they reveal about us.

This Week on Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio concludes her extraordinary investigation into the 2016 Pike County (Piketon) Murders.

After weeks of reporting, exclusive interviews, and meticulous research, the series reaches its stunning conclusion as the suspects are revealed, the investigation unfolds from suspicion to arrest, and one of America's most shocking family homicide conspiracies finally goes to trial.

If you've followed this investigation from the beginning, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

This Week on The Slippery Debrief

Scott and Nancy sit down with LeAnn Worrell, sister of Doris Worrell, for an intimate conversation about love, loss, betrayal, and a family's decades-long search for justice.

It's a deeply personal interview that goes far beyond the headlines and offers a powerful reminder that every true crime story leaves real people behind.

This Week in Horror

Our recommendation this week is The Devil's Mouth, an upcoming survival thriller on Prime Video.

A group of friends exploring an underwater cave system soon discovers they are trapped with a massive bull shark. Featuring Kathryn Newton, Lana Condor, Gavin Casalegno, and Nico Hiraga, it looks like the perfect summer survival thriller for horror fans.

The Campfire Files: The House That Hadn't Been Emptied - Part Three Jul 24, 2026

The Devil Within Campfire Files: The House That Hadn't Been Emptied (Episode Three — The Last Night) Every vacation ends. Most end with photographs, souvenirs, and promises to return. This one ended before sunrise. In the breathtaking conclusion to Campfire Files, Nina and Paul spend one final night inside Birch House as a dense Atlantic fog and coastal storm isolate the cottage from the rest of the world. Outside, Penobscot Bay disappears beneath wind and rain. Inside, the house quietly resumes the routine it has practiced for generations. The locked room opens once more. The missing suitcase returns. And this time... it isn't empty. Inside are the belongings Nina and Paul intended to pack the following morning—carefully folded, organized, and waiting exactly as though someone, or something, had anticipated their departure before they had. As dawn approaches, they flee Birch House, abandoning part of their vacation and leaving behind questions that no caretaker, homeowner, or investigator can answer. Months later, after returning to Arizona, they discover that perhaps they never left the Bennett Place behind at all. The House That Hadn't Been Emptied concludes with a quiet realization that lingers long after the final page: perhaps old houses don't haunt people... Perhaps they simply refuse to forget them. In This Episode • A coastal storm traps Nina and Paul at Birch House. • The mysterious return of the missing suitcase. • A suitcase packed with their own belongings before they packed them. • The hurried escape from the Bennett Place before dawn. • The owner's unsettling final phone call. • A discovery months later that suggests some departures are never truly complete. • The conclusion of this summer's Campfire Files. 🎙 Written and Hosted by Branden Morgan Presented by Evio Creative.

The Campfire Files: The House That Hadn't Been Emptied - Part Two Jul 22, 2026

The Devil Within

Campfire Files: The House That Hadn't Been Emptied

(Episode Two — What the House Kept)

Some mysteries begin with a strange noise.

Others begin with a single name.

This week, Campfire Files returns to the rocky coast of Maine as Nina and Paul attempt to convince themselves that the footsteps they heard the night before were nothing more than an old house settling into the cool Atlantic air.

Morning, however, has other plans.

The locked room at the end of the hallway is standing open.

Inside, they discover what appears to be an ordinary family storage room filled with decades of forgotten memories. But hidden among the coats and keepsakes is an old leather suitcase bearing a luggage tag that should not exist.

It has Nina's full legal name.

Her middle name.

Her home address in Phoenix.

And no one should know any of it.

When the owner sends the property's longtime caretaker to Birch House, the mystery only deepens. Walter Pike has spent his entire life watching over the Bennett Place, and he speaks about the house less like a building and more like an elderly relative. Then he shares a story passed down from his father about the last woman who lived there—a widow who kept suitcases packed for people who never came home.

Her explanation has haunted the town ever since.

"Departures are easier when the house knows who's leaving."

As Walter searches the storage room, the suitcase disappears before their eyes, leaving behind a question no one—not even the caretaker—can answer.

The Campfire Files: The House That Hadn't Been Emptied - Part One Jul 20, 2026

The Devil Within

Campfire Files: The House That Hadn't Been Emptied

(Episode One)

There are vacation homes...

And then there are homes that never stopped being lived in.

This week, The Devil Within begins a brand-new Campfire Files novella with one of the most

unsettling stories we've ever told.

When Nina and Paul Alvarez leave the Arizona desert for a quiet week along the rocky coast of

Maine, they're looking for exactly what every vacation promises: peace, fresh air, and a

temporary escape from ordinary life. Instead, they discover Birch House—a charming

nineteenth-century cottage whose history may be far more present than anyone realizes.

As they settle into the rhythms of coastal Maine, something about the house feels... familiar. A

locked room at the end of the upstairs hallway. Floorboards polished by generations of footsteps.

A home that seems strangely reluctant to become just another vacation rental.

Then, late on their first night...

Someone walks across the second floor.

The problem is...

No one is there.

In this opening chapter of The House That Hadn't Been Emptied, Branden Morgan explores

why old houses seem to preserve more than photographs and furniture—and whether some

homes ever truly stop belonging to the families who built them.

Because sometimes...

the hardest thing a house ever learns...

is how to say goodbye.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of July 20th, 2026 Jul 20, 2026

The Devil's Ledger | Week of July 20, 2026

This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate an unforgettable month of football, explore one of the eeriest true crime deceptions of the digital age, conclude a haunting summer novella, and revisit two of the most compelling criminal investigations we've covered this year.

We begin by congratulating Spain on capturing its second FIFA World Cup title after a thrilling championship match, while tipping our hats to North America for hosting one of the greatest sporting events the world has ever seen.

Then, in The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, Branden examines the chilling murder of Gretchen Anthony and one of the most disturbing realities of the digital age: how a killer continued communicating with friends and family using the victim's own phone after her death. In a world where our phones have become extensions of ourselves, what happens when someone else begins speaking in your voice?

On The Devil Within, Campfire Files comes to its unforgettable conclusion with The House That Hadn't Been Emptied. An Arizona couple's peaceful vacation along the rocky coast of Maine ends with a locked room, a mysterious caretaker, and a suitcase that somehow knows exactly who it's waiting for. It's a quiet, literary ghost story about memory, history, and the unsettling possibility that some houses never truly let their guests leave.

Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio concludes her investigation into the Pike County Massacre, following investigators as they unravel one of the most shocking murder conspiracies in modern American history after nearly an entire family was executed in a single night.

On The Slippery, Scott and Nancy revisit a case they've pursued for nearly a decade: the 2006 murder of Doris Worrell. Following a dramatic arrest in 2025, they examine new evidence surrounding an alleged murder-for-hire plot that may finally bring long-awaited answers.

Finally, in This Week in Horror, we recommend The Bay, a tense open-water survival thriller that proves the ocean can still be one of the scariest places on Earth.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay alert.

You never know what's waiting around the next corner... or beneath the surface.

We'll see you this week across the Evio Creative Universe.

In This Episode

• ⚽ Congratulations to Spain on winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

• 👻 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The digital deception behind the Gretchen Anthony murder investigation.

The Campfire Files: The City Beneath The City - Part Three Jul 17, 2026

The Devil Within Presents: The Campfire Files

The City Beneath the City — Episode Three

Every mystery reaches a point where two paths emerge.

One leads back to reason.

The other disappears into the impossible.

In the epic conclusion to The City Beneath the City, Matt and Claire escape the Paris Catacombs convinced they can explain everything they experienced beneath the streets of France. The strange voices. The forgotten gallery. The impossible red scarf. Surely exhaustion, jet lag, and the disorienting atmosphere of the Catacombs are enough to account for it all.

Until they return home.

While organizing the photographs from their vacation, they discover images neither of them remembers taking. Images that place them inside a tunnel that, according to retired quarry engineers and historical records, has been sealed for more than fifty years.

Then comes the final revelation.

An inscription that shouldn't exist.

A photograph with no timestamp.

And a message that suggests the Catacombs were never trying to trap them...

Only to remember them.

Part travel memoir, part historical mystery, and part supernatural horror, The City Beneath the City concludes with one haunting question:

What if the places we visit never truly let us leave?

The Campfire Files: The City Beneath The City - Part Two Jul 15, 2026

The Devil Within Presents: The Campfire Files

The City Beneath the City — Part Two: Beneath Paris

The descent begins.

In Part Two of The City Beneath the City, Matt and Claire leave the bright boulevards of Paris behind and step into one of the world's most extraordinary—and unsettling—places: the Paris Catacombs.

As the daylight disappears and six million dead surround them, something unexpected happens.

Conversations fade to whispers. Time begins to feel strangely elastic. Even the simple act of walking becomes different beneath the city.

What starts as a tour of one of history's greatest engineering achievements slowly transforms into something else entirely.

Because somewhere in the darkness... someone knows Matt's name.

Join Branden Morgan for the next chapter of The Campfire Files, where history, folklore, and the unexplained converge beneath one of the most beautiful cities on Earth.

The Campfire Files: The City Beneath The City - Part One Jul 13, 2026

The Devil Within Presents: The Campfire Files

The City Beneath the City — Part One

What if the most famous city in the world was hiding its greatest secret... directly beneath your feet?

In this episode of our summer series, The Campfire Files, Branden Morgan takes you back to Paris—a city celebrated for romance, art, and beauty. But beneath its cafés, cathedrals, and the Eiffel Tower lies another Paris: a vast underground labyrinth carved over two thousand years and filled with the remains of more than six million people.

When American travelers Matt and Claire Warren finally take the vacation they've dreamed about for years, they believe they're exploring one of history's greatest engineering marvels.

Instead, they begin walking toward something that may already know they're coming.

Part history, part travelogue, and part supernatural mystery, The City Beneath the City begins a three-part descent into one of the world's most fascinating—and unsettling—places.

Because sometimes the oldest cities don't forget the people who visit them.

In this episode:

• The forgotten history beneath Paris

• How the Catacombs came to hold six million dead

• The hidden engineering that keeps Paris from collapsing

• Matt and Claire's long-awaited journey to France

• The first hints that their vacation may become something far more terrifying

The Devil's Ledger - Week of July 13th. Jul 13, 2026

The Devil's Ledger

Week of July 13, 2026

Summer may be in full swing, but the strange stories never take a vacation.

This week on The Devil's Ledger, Branden Morgan takes you from one of America's most haunted Civil War landmarks to the shadowy tunnels beneath Paris, where history—and perhaps something else—still lingers beneath the streets.

In The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, we visit Pennsylvania's legendary Sachs Covered Bridge, a Civil War crossing steeped in stories of ghostly soldiers, phantom gunpowder, unexplained cold spots, and shadowy figures said to patrol the bridge more than 160 years after the Battle of Gettysburg.

Then we head underground on The Devil Within, as Campfire Files continues with The City Beneath the City. What begins as an ordinary vacation to Paris becomes something far more unsettling when an American couple ventures into the infamous Catacombs beneath the French capital. Surrounded by the remains of more than six million Parisians, they discover that history may not be the only thing preserved beneath the City of Light.

Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn returns with another investigation into the darker side of human nature. She still won't tell Branden what she's working on, so listeners will discover the mystery together when the new episode drops this Tuesday.

On The Slippery, Nancy examines the heartbreaking wrongful-conviction case of Marilyn Mulero, whose coerced confession sent her to death row for a crime she didn't commit. It's a remarkable examination of Detective Reynaldo Guevara, false confessions, and the long road toward justice.

Finally, in This Week in Horror, we spotlight Evil Dead Burn, the newest chapter in Sam Raimi's legendary horror franchise. A secluded family gathering becomes an unforgettable nightmare as an ancient evil transforms a reunion into absolute chaos.

Stay cool, stay safe, and thanks for spending part of your week with us.

We'll see you across the Evio Creative Universe.

In This Episode

• 👻 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The haunting legend of Pennsylvania's Sachs Covered Bridge.

• 🇫🇷 The Devil Within: Campfire Files – The City Beneath the City.

The Campfire Files: Ghost Profile - Part Three Jul 10, 2026

Episode 3: Five Business Days

The countdown is over.

The car knows exactly where it's going.

And this time...

It isn't asking permission.

In the conclusion of Ghost Profile, Cole and Maren discover the destination the mysterious navigation system has been trying to reach since the day they picked up the vehicle. What waits at the end of that lonely Texas road forces them to confront a terrifying realization: perhaps the car was never trying to trap them.

Perhaps it was trying to deliver something.

Or someone.

Blending documented concerns about connected-car privacy with a chilling supernatural mystery, Five Business Days asks one final question:

What happens when technology remembers something it was never supposed to forget?

Some journeys don't end when you reach your destination.

Some only begin there.

Case file closed.

Or perhaps...

Transferred to the next driver.

The Campfire Files: Ghost Profile - Part Two Jul 08, 2026

Episode 2: What the Car Remembers

They tried to return the car.

The rental company wouldn't take it.

Five business days.

That's how long it would take to process a complaint before the vehicle could even be considered for removal from the fleet.

Unfortunately...

They only had three.

As Cole and Maren dig deeper into the SUV's history, they uncover a disturbing pattern of complaints spanning months, all involving the very same vehicle. Strange GPS routes. Electronics behaving on their own. Devices reconnecting after being deleted.

Then another name appears on the dashboard.

Not Roy.

Someone else.

Someone who also disappeared.

In Part Two of Ghost Profile, Carolyn explores the frightening intersection of modern technology, corporate oversight, and the possibility that some systems remember far more than they should.

Because sometimes the scariest thing isn't the ghost.

It's realizing you're not the first person it's been waiting for.

The Campfire Files: Ghost Profile - Part One Jul 06, 2026

Episode 1: The Last Renter

A summer getaway begins with an ordinary rental car.

Within minutes of leaving the airport, an unfamiliar Bluetooth device appears on the dashboard.

ROY'S iPHONE.

The problem?

No one in the car is named Roy.

What begins as an annoying technology glitch soon evolves into something far more unsettling. The mysterious phone refuses to disconnect, the vehicle begins changing its own navigation, and an innocent road trip toward East Texas slowly transforms into a terrifying mystery connected to a man who vanished without a trace.

This week on The Devil Within, our Campfire Files series continues with Ghost Profile, a story inspired by real concerns surrounding connected vehicles, digital privacy, and the unsettling question of what technology might remember long after we're gone.

Sometimes ghosts don't haunt houses.

Sometimes they hitch a ride.

The Campfire Files: The Board - Part Three Jul 03, 2026

Episode 3: What Stayed

The hardest part wasn't getting out of the cabin.

It was discovering that leaving didn't necessarily mean the story was over.

In the conclusion of this three-part Campfire Files series, Carolyn follows the lingering aftermath of one terrifying weekend. The board is gone. The cabin is quiet once again. But months later, unanswered questions—and unexplained events—continue to haunt those who were there.

Who—or what—was "Lia"?

Why did the board single out one member of the group?

And what do you do when the only evidence left behind is a name, a memory, and the unmistakable feeling that something still remembers you?

What Stayed explores the unsettling possibility that not every haunting is violent.

Some simply refuse to let go.

Case file closed.

Or perhaps...

Left open.

The Campfire Files: The Board - Part Two Jul 01, 2026

Episode 2: What It Asked For

They put the board away.

Closed the lid.

Shut the drawer.

And told themselves the weekend could finally return to normal.

It didn't.

In Part Two of The Devil Within's Campfire Files, strange occurrences begin spreading beyond the board itself. A drawer opens on its own. One friend begins speaking in ways she cannot later remember. And the group slowly realizes whatever answered them no longer seems confined to a wooden game board.

It wants something.

It wants them to stay.

As Carolyn traces the psychological tension, folklore, and eyewitness accounts surrounding one unforgettable weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains, one question becomes impossible to ignore:

What happens when curiosity becomes an invitation?

Because sometimes the scariest words aren't shouted.

Sometimes they're whispered.

And sometimes they simply ask you not to leave.

The Campfire Files: The Board - Part One Jun 29, 2026

Episode 1: The Board

Four college friends rent a cabin outside Boone, North Carolina, for what should have been an ordinary autumn weekend in the mountains. Instead, they discover something none of them expected: an old Ouija board left behind by a previous guest.

No one brought it.

No one believes in it.

So they decide to ask it a question.

The answer comes almost immediately.

What begins as harmless curiosity quickly becomes something none of them can explain. A name appears across the board. A voice in the room begins to change. And one simple response—YES—sets in motion a weekend none of them would ever forget.

In Part One of this three-part Campfire Files case, The Devil Within explores a story rooted in real places, documented history, and the unsettling possibility that some doors, once opened, don't easily close.

Sometimes the most dangerous decision isn't summoning something.

It's believing nothing will answer.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of June 29th, 2026 Jun 29, 2026

The Devil's Ledger — Week of June 30, 2026

This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate the spirit of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the United States, Canada, and Mexico continue welcoming the world with open arms. Amid months of political division, it's been refreshing to see communities across North America reminding us why sports have a unique way of bringing people together. From packed stadiums to neighborhood watch parties, hospitality has taken center stage—and yes, maybe ranch dressing deserves a little credit too.

We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week. This week we travel to Montreal's historic Griffintown, where ghost hunters, historians, and curious locals gathered on June 27 to await the legendary return of Headless Mary Gallagher. Murdered and decapitated in 1879, local folklore claims Mary's spirit returns every seven years on the anniversary of her death, wandering the streets in search of the head she lost nearly 150 years ago. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, it's a haunting reminder that some stories refuse to die.

On The Devil Within, our Campfire Files series continues with one of our most believable paranormal stories yet. Four college friends rent an Airbnb cabin for a relaxing weekend in the mountains and discover what appears to be an ordinary board game left behind by a previous guest. The only problem? It's a Ouija Board. What begins as harmless curiosity slowly transforms into something unsettling, proving that sometimes the scariest stories aren't the loudest—they're the ones that feel like they could happen to anyone.

On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio is keeping this week's case a complete secret. Is she racing to meet another impossible deadline? Or has she uncovered a story so disturbing she wants listeners to experience it with fresh ears? We honestly don't know—but knowing Carolyn, it could very well be both. Tune in and find out.

On The Slippery, Scott Eldridge and Nancy Moscatiello unravel the extraordinary story of Gaurav Srivastava, a man who convinced world leaders, celebrities, and business executives that he had been recruited by the CIA as a teenager. His elaborate intelligence persona opened doors across the global oil industry—until investigators began asking difficult questions. It's a remarkable story of deception, influence, and one of the most audacious confidence schemes in recent memory.

On Forever Young, Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour explore the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, separating science from hype as they discuss how stem cell therapies may reshape healthcare in the years ahead. If you're interested in living healthier and longer, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Finally, in This Week in Horror, we revisit the return of Scary Movie. More than twenty years after the original became a comedy phenomenon, the franchise is back with another round of outrageous horror parody, proving that even today's most terrifying films aren't safe from a good laugh.

Something In The Water - Part Three Jun 26, 2026

Episode 3: What It Left Behind

Leaving a place doesn't always mean leaving it behind.

Three days after returning home to Kansas City, Sara begins having dreams about Table Rock Lake. In them, she drifts above the flooded valley, suspended in dark water while something ancient moves below.

The lake is hundreds of miles away.

Yet every night she wakes with the same feeling:

Cold.

Not the room.

Her.

In the final chapter of Something in the Water, Carolyn explores what happened after the trip ended—and whether some encounters leave behind more than memories.

Local divers speak quietly about cold spots that shouldn't exist. About moments of disorientation in familiar waters. About the persistent sensation that something beneath the lake is watching from below.

No disappearances.

No documented tragedies.

Just stories.

And the feeling.

Across Indigenous traditions, the Underwater Panther was never simply a monster. It was a force—a boundary between worlds. Those touched by it were sometimes believed to carry a lingering awareness of what lies beneath the surface.

Sara was eventually asked whether she believed something followed her home.

Her answer was simple:

"I think I got noticed by something very old that doesn't notice people very often. And now I know it's there. And it knows I know."

Table Rock Lake remains as beautiful as ever: blue water, green hills, children leaping from docks on summer afternoons.

But beneath the surface lie flooded towns, forgotten roads, and older stories that may never have truly disappeared.

Case file closed.

Or perhaps merely submerged.

Something In The Water - Part Two Jun 24, 2026

Episode 2: The Pool

Water has a way of finding its path.

Through stone. Through memory. Through places we believe are sealed shut.

In Part Two of Something in the Water, the events at Table Rock Lake take an even stranger turn. After days of unsettling encounters on the water, Sara wakes in the middle of the night to find something impossible: a pool of cold water in the center of her bedroom floor.

No leaking pipes.

No open windows.

No explanation.

As fear spreads through the cabin, four members of the group decide it's time to leave. But Sara—the very person who experienced the first encounter in the lake—chooses to stay.

Why?

Because what she experienced didn't feel like a threat.

It felt like attention.

As Sarah examines centuries-old traditions surrounding the Underwater Panther, a disturbing pattern emerges. Across cultures and generations, stories of the entity share one detail above all others: it chooses.

And once it notices you, leaving the water may not be enough.

By morning, the mysterious pool has vanished.

But the towels used to clean it up have been moved.

Folded neatly at the foot of Sara's bed.

Sometimes the most terrifying thing isn't what we see.

It's the feeling that something has seen us.

Something In The Water - Part One Jun 22, 2026

Something in the Water - Part One

Six friends arrive at Table Rock Lake in the summer of 2010 expecting a quiet week in the Ozarks—swimming, boating, and long evenings beneath the Missouri stars. What they find instead is a place with a history far older than the dam that created it.

This week on The Devil Within, we begin a three-part campfire case rooted in documented history, Indigenous tradition, and the uneasy possibility that some places remember what was buried beneath them.

When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed Table Rock Dam in 1958, they flooded an entire valley, submerging roads, foundations, churches, and whole communities beneath more than 43,000 acres of water. But the flooded towns were not the first things to disappear from this landscape.

Long before the lake existed, the Osage people lived along the White River and carried stories of powerful beings dwelling beneath the water. Among them was a mysterious figure known across the Mississippi watershed as the Underwater Panther—a guardian of thresholds, deep places, and the dangerous boundary between worlds.

Then one swimmer feels an impossible cold in the middle of an August afternoon.

Something brushes against her ankle.

The next day, someone else is pulled beneath the surface.

And before the week is over, the group begins to wonder whether the lake is merely covering something—or keeping it.

Because some waters are deeper than they appear.

And some things beneath them are still waiting.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of June 22nd, 2026 Jun 22, 2026

The Devil's Ledger — June 22, 2026

This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate the United States Men's National Team advancing out of the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and recognize the incredible efforts of host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico for welcoming fans from around the world. Then we dive into another week of strange stories, unsettling mysteries, and sinister tales from across the Evio Creative universe.

We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week—the disturbing true story of a family who purchased a foreclosed home in Connecticut only to discover three sets of human remains inside. What should have been the start of a new chapter quickly became the center of a mystery years in the making.

On The Devil Within, we gather around the campfire for Something in the Water. What begins as a relaxing getaway at Table Rock Lake becomes a terrifying encounter with something lurking beneath the surface. Strange events, unexplained encounters, and a growing realization that whatever is in the lake wants to be seen force a group of friends to confront a chilling question: what happens when something ancient decides it wants your attention?

On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio delivers another unforgettable story. This isn't a notorious serial killer or a decades-old wrongful conviction. It's something far more relatable—and perhaps more frightening because of it. A case that reminds us how quickly an ordinary day can become a nightmare and how vulnerable we all are to dangers hiding in plain sight.

On The Slippery, the bizarre saga of Jose Lantigua continues. A successful businessman claims to be suffering from a rare and terminal illness allegedly connected to his past as a CIA operative. After traveling to Venezuela for a secret experimental procedure, he disappears—leaving behind unanswered questions, a multimillion-dollar insurance policy, and investigators who suspect nothing is as it seems.

And in This Week in Horror, we take a look at Corporate Retreat, a new horror film in which a company leadership retreat descends into chaos, violence, and death. As alliances crumble and secrets emerge, the greatest threat may not be lurking in the wilderness—it may be sitting in the next boardroom chair.

The Campsite That Wasn’t Empty — Part Two Jun 19, 2026

The Campsite That Wasn’t Empty — Part Two

Campfire Files: True Stories That Followed Them Home

If Part One was about recognition—

Part Two is about consequence.

Because the most dangerous assumption people make about places like this is simple:

That whatever happens there… stays there.

It doesn’t.

In Part Two, the Carter family wakes to a campsite that looks exactly as they left it—but feels entirely different. The daylight doesn’t bring clarity. It brings questions. Subtle disturbances in the ground. Movement that leaves no clear trace. A growing sense that what they experienced wasn’t singular.

It wasn’t alone.

And then they leave.

They pack up. They drive home. They return to something structured, familiar, safe.

Or at least—

they think they do.

Because back in Tennessee, something begins again.

Faint at first.

Incomplete.

A voice forming in the dark—not quite right, not fully there, but trying. Learning. Reaching for something familiar.

The woods didn’t contain it.

Distance didn’t stop it.

And whatever it is…

It’s still figuring them out.

What You’ll Hear in Part Two

• Physical evidence that defies simple explanation

• The shift from location-based fear to personal threat

• The unsettling idea that mimicry can evolve

• What happens when something doesn’t need proximity to continue

Until something moved beneath the surface— and came back up with them.

The Campsite That Wasn’t Empty — Part One Jun 17, 2026

The Campsite That Wasn’t Empty — Part One

Campfire Files: True Stories That Followed Them Home

On this episode of The Devil Within, we begin our summer series with a story that feels familiar enough to lower your guard.

A late-summer camping trip in the Smoky Mountains. A family of four. A quiet campsite just far enough off the main trail to feel private—but not isolated.

The kind of trip thousands of families take every year.

Until something shifts.

At first, it’s subtle. Easy to dismiss. A sound in the woods. Movement that could belong to anything—wind, animals, the natural rhythm of a forest at night. But then the patterns begin to break. The sounds don’t move the way they should. The silence arrives at the wrong moments.

And then—

A voice.

Calling from just beyond the firelight.

Using a name it shouldn’t know. Sounding exactly like someone already inside the tent.

Not similar. Not close.

Exact.

As the Carter family settles into their tent for the night, what waits outside doesn’t rush. It doesn’t reveal itself. It listens. It studies. It repeats.

And slowly, the realization sets in:

This isn’t something passing through.

This is something paying attention.

Part One builds toward a moment that changes everything—the understanding that whatever is outside the tent isn’t just making noise…

It’s communicating.

And it knows exactly who it’s talking to.

What You’ll Hear in Part One

• A real-world report of voice mimicry in a wilderness setting

• How environmental “patterns” help identify when something is wrong

• The psychological shift from dismissal to awareness

• The moment a familiar voice becomes something else entirely

The Devil's Ledger - Week of June 15th Jun 15, 2026

The Devil’s Ledger | Week of June 15th, 2026

This week on The Devil’s Ledger, we begin with something that feels almost surreal—the New York Knicks are World Champions. A long-awaited moment for a franchise and a fanbase that has carried decades of hope, frustration, and belief. From the Canyon of Heroes to living rooms across the country, this is more than a title—it’s a moment etched into the mythology of New York sports.

The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

A moment in time that may not have moved the way it should have.

We revisit Game 3 of the 1999 Eastern Conference Finals, when Larry Johnson stepped to the line for one of the most iconic plays in Knicks history. But for those who were there, the memory isn’t just the shot—it’s what happened right before it. A strange thinning of sound. A collective pause. A sense that something had aligned just long enough for the outcome to land exactly where it was supposed to.

Was it pressure? Adrenaline? Or something harder to explain?

On The Devil Within

We launch a brand-new summer series:

Campfire Files: Stories That Follow Us Home

These aren’t distant legends or secondhand stories. These are grounded, firsthand accounts that begin in the places we trust the most—campgrounds, lakes, beaches, and vacation homes.

We start in the Great Smoky Mountains, where a family trip turns into something far more unsettling. What begins as a quiet weekend in the woods slowly reveals something that doesn’t behave the way it should—and doesn’t stay where it started.

We’ll be here all summer, exploring encounters that begin in familiar places and follow people long after they leave.

On Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio returns with another sharp, unsettling look at the human condition—where ambition, envy, and pressure collide in ways that feel all too recognizable.

These are the kinds of stories that happen more often than we’d like to admit—and still manage to surprise us every time.

On The Culture of Criminal Cool

Season One has wrapped, but the story may not be over.

There are whispers of additional material, extended interviews, and possibly even new conversations with Adam Diaz. Nothing confirmed yet—but enough to keep your attention.

On The Slippery

This week’s episode dives into the disturbing case of Dr. Thomas Weiner, once one of the most respected oncologists in Helena, Montana.

What begins as the story of a trusted medical figure quickly unravels into something far darker, centered around a patient treated for over a decade for a disease they never had. As the investigation deepens, the image of a respected doctor begins to fracture—revealing patterns that raise troubling questions about trust, oversight, and how something like this could go on for so long.

This Week in Horror

A new film out of Norway taps into one of the oldest and most enduring myths:

Kraken

Strange behavior in marine life. Unexplained deaths in deep water. And the suggestion that something ancient has resurfaced. It’s a return to elemental horror—vast, unknowable, and just beneath the surface.

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Twelve - The Study That Never Ended Jun 12, 2026

What We Built... And What We Buried | The Study That Never Ended

On this episode of The Devil Within, we close out Season Five—What We Built… And What We Buried—with one of the most disturbing and consequential chapters in American medical history: the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

What began in 1932 as a government-backed effort to study the progression of untreated syphilis was, at least on the surface, framed as something useful—even beneficial. Hundreds of poor Black men in rural Alabama were offered free medical care for what they were told was “bad blood.”

But they were never told the truth.

As the study continued, the men—many of them sharecroppers with limited access to education, healthcare, or economic mobility—were observed, tested, and subjected to painful procedures under the belief they were being treated.

They weren’t.

Then came the turning point.

By the 1940s, penicillin had become a proven cure for syphilis. It should have ended the study. It should have saved lives.

It didn’t.

Instead, treatment was deliberately withheld—for decades.

More than 400 men were left to suffer the full progression of the disease, not because doctors didn’t know better, but because they chose not to intervene. The study continued until 1972, when it was finally exposed by whistleblower Peter Buxtun and brought to national attention.

The fallout was immediate—and lasting.

Trust in medicine, particularly within Black communities, was deeply fractured. The doctor-patient relationship—built on transparency and informed consent—was forced into a reckoning that still shapes healthcare today.

This isn’t just history.

It’s a warning.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

• How the Tuskegee Study began—and why it was initially justified

• Who was targeted, and why sharecroppers were especially vulnerable

• How misinformation (“bad blood”) was used to gain trust

• The discovery of penicillin—and the decision to withhold it

• The whistleblower who exposed the truth

• How Tuskegee reshaped modern medical ethics and patient rights

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Eleven - The Mind We Tried To Break Jun 10, 2026

🎧 THE DEVIL WITHIN

What We Built… And What We Buried

Episode 11: The Mind We Tried to Break

What happens when the most private space we have—the human mind—becomes the target of experimentation?

In Episode 11, we examine Project MKUltra, a classified U.S. government program designed to explore the limits of human consciousness, behavior, and control. Born out of Cold War paranoia, MKUltra pushed beyond ethical boundaries in pursuit of one question: Can the mind be broken… and rebuilt?

Through a network of secret experiments, subjects—many of them unaware—were exposed to LSD, sensory deprivation, psychological stress, and other destabilizing techniques. Records were destroyed. Oversight was limited. And what remains is only a fragment of the full story.

This episode explores:

• The Cold War fear that sparked MKUltra

• The methods used to alter perception and behavior

• The role of consent—and the absence of it

• The deliberate destruction of records in the 1970s

• What we know… and what may never be known

Because the true horror of MKUltra isn’t just what was done—

It’s that it was justified.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of June 8th. Jun 08, 2026

The Devil’s Ledger | Week of June 8th, 2026

On this week’s episode of The Devil’s Ledger, we kick things off with an honest—and slightly humbling—moment: a long-overdue shoutout to the New York Knicks. Not quite back on the bandwagon… but definitely watching with a mix of excitement and regret.

Then we dive into The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week—a trip to Pine Bush, New York, home of the annual UFO Fair. What feels like a quirky small-town festival quickly reveals something deeper: decades of reported sightings, unexplained aerial phenomena, and a community that didn’t deny the stories… it embraced them.

On The Devil Within

Season Five—What We Built… And What We Buried—comes to a powerful close with two of the most disturbing government programs ever uncovered:

• MK-Ultra

• The Tuskegee Syphilis Study

Two vastly different operations. One unsettling truth: what happens when institutions designed to protect people begin to use them instead?

On Criminal Mischief

After last week’s shocking case, Carolyn returns with something a little less graphic—but no less terrifying.

Less gore. More intrigue. Same relentless tension.

On The Culture of Criminal Cool

Season One wraps this week—and it hits harder than expected.

The story of Adam Diaz has never been just about crime. It’s about identity, power, and the cost of becoming the persona you create.

And if you’re worried about what fills that slot next week… don’t be.

On The Slippery

Fresh off CrimeCon Las Vegas, Scott and Nancy are back with another deep dive into deception.

New con. New victim. And another unraveling that proves—eventually—the truth always catches up.

🚨 NEW SHOW ALERT: Forever Young 🚨

From Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour of the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group comes Forever Young—a deep, behind-the-scenes look at:

• Plastic surgery

• Skincare

• Longevity science

With hundreds of episodes already available, this is your go-to resource for everything health, beauty, and aging at the highest level.

Now part of the Evio Network.

This Week in Horror

A new trailer has dropped from horror legend Eli Roth:

Ice Cream Man

A twisted, throwback slasher concept—with a brutal twist:

It’s not one killer.

It’s dozens.

Kids—turned into something else entirely.

Dark. Chaotic. And looks like a wild ride.

What We Built… And What We Buried: Episode Ten - The Air That Turned Against Us Jun 05, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

What We Built… And What We Buried

Episode 10: The Air That Turned Against Us

Some dangers are immediate.

Others…

Become part of the air.

❄️ The Problem

Early refrigeration worked.

But it was dangerous:

• Toxic chemicals

• Explosive leaks

• Immediate, visible harm

A safer solution was needed.

🧪 The Solution

Once again, Thomas Midgley Jr. delivered:

👉 Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

They were:

• Stable

• Non-toxic

• Non-flammable

In every measurable way:

👉 Perfect

🌫️ The Shift

And so they spread.

Into:

• Homes

• Industry

• The atmosphere itself

Because stability…

Doesn’t always mean containment.

☢️ The Discovery

High above the Earth:

• UV radiation broke down CFCs

• Released chlorine atoms

• Began destroying ozone

Not instantly.

But persistently.

🌍 The Consequence

The ozone layer—Earth’s shield—began to thin.

What once felt invisible…

Became measurable.

Then undeniable.

🧠 The Response

For once, the system corrected itself:

👉 Global cooperation 

👉 The Montreal Protocol 

👉 Gradual phase-out of CFCs

And over time…

Signs of recovery.

😈 The Devil Within

The Devil Within this story isn’t the chemical.

It’s delay.

Because by the time we understood the damage…

👉 It was already everywhere.

🔜 Next Episode

Next, the pattern turns inward.

Not machines. Not atmosphere.

👉 People.

🎧 Listen & Follow

👉 Follow The Devil Within wherever you get your podcasts 📺 Watch on the Evio Creative YouTube Channel 📱 @thedevilwithinpod on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook

🎧 The Devil Within

What We Built… And What We Buried

Episode 9: The Man Who Fixed Everything

Some problems don’t break systems.

They limit them.

And in the early days of the automobile, one of those problems had a name:

Engine knock.

🧪 The Solution

Enter Thomas Midgley Jr..

A problem-solver who didn’t redesign the engine…

He changed the fuel.

👉 Tetraethyl lead

A chemical additive that:

• Eliminated engine knock

• Increased performance

• Allowed the modern automobile to scale

It worked.

Perfectly.

🌍 The Spread

The solution didn’t stay in the lab.

It moved:

• Into fuel systems

• Into infrastructure

• Into the global environment

Because once something works…

It doesn’t stay contained.

⚠️ The Cost

What improved engines didn’t stay in engines.

Lead entered:

• The air

• The soil

• The human body

And over time:

👉 The cost accumulated

• Neurological damage

• Developmental harm

• A global environmental footprint

😈 The Devil Within

This isn’t a story about failure.

It’s about success without full understanding.

Because the solution didn’t just fix the problem…

It changed everything around it.

🔜 Next Episode

The same mind. A different problem.

And a solution that didn’t affect the ground…

👉 It affected the sky.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of June 1st, 2026 Jun 01, 2026

The Devil’s Ledger — Week of June 1st, 2026

Happy Blue Moon.

As a rare second full moon lights up the skies over Los Angeles, we take a moment to reflect—on endings, beginnings, and the strange things that seem to surface when the night feels just a little too still.

And to all the graduates out there—congratulations. Wherever you’re headed next, may you do wonderful things… big and small.

The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

This week, we explore the unsettling legend of Grace—a Victorian-era doll that has gone from antique curiosity to one of the UK’s most talked-about haunted artifacts.

Once an ordinary toy, Grace’s reputation began in 2018 during a paranormal investigation where guests reported physical symptoms, unexplained movement, and chilling electronic voice phenomena. Since then, the doll has followed investigators from location to location, leaving behind a trail of reported disturbances, recorded voices, and growing fascination.

Now, in the latest development, investigators claim to have captured a single, chilling word coming from the doll:

“Burn.”

Is it evidence of something attached to the artifact… or simply the power of suggestion taking hold?

Either way, Grace has become something more than a relic of the past—she’s a modern legend.

The Devil Within

Season Five (What We Built… And What We Buried) continues with “The Man Who Fixed Everything.”

This episode examines the chemist who introduced chlorofluorocarbons—CFCs—as a safer alternative to toxic refrigeration gases.

At the time, it was a breakthrough.

Cleaner. Safer. Stable.

A solution.

But what followed was something far larger—and far more damaging—than anyone anticipated. A global consequence that reshaped how we understand unintended impact, and the cost of innovation without foresight.

Criminal Mischief

Carolyn is back after a brief hiatus with another meticulously researched deep dive into the darker corners of human behavior.

As always, this isn’t just storytelling—it’s reconstruction.

The Culture of Criminal Cool

We’re now up to Episode 5, and the response has been incredible.

Thank you to everyone who’s been listening, commenting, and sharing.

Adam Diaz is proving to be exactly what we thought—a story worth telling.

The Slippery

Nancy and Scott return with another hard-to-believe story of deception, betrayal, and outright grift.

The kind of story that makes you stop mid-episode and ask—

How did this actually happen?

This show is quickly becoming a must-listen.

This Week in Horror

Something is shifting.

Two films—Obsession and Backrooms—have taken over the box office.

Both from creators who came out of YouTube.

Not the traditional system.

Not the usual pipeline.

New voices. New instincts.

And audiences are showing up in a big way.

Is this a moment… or the beginning of something bigger?

Watch them. Then let me know what you think.

What We Built… And What We Buried: Episode Eight - The Man Who Drank Poison May 29, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

What We Built… And What We Buried

Episode Eight: The Man Who Drank Poison

Some stories don’t end.

They rupture.

🍷 The Event

A meeting.

Three men.

A drink.

Then suddenly—

A reaction.

A collapse.

And a statement that would define everything that followed:

“They poisoned me.”

⚠️ The Death

Stanley Meyer was dead within hours.

The official cause:

👉 Cerebral aneurysm

• Sudden

• Catastrophic

• Medically consistent

No poison found. No evidence of foul play.

Case closed.

🧠 The Problem

Except…

The story didn’t close.

Because the death didn’t happen in isolation.

It followed a claim that had already disrupted expectation.

And when those two things collide—

👉 An unresolved invention 👉 An abrupt death

The narrative doesn’t settle.

It expands.

🔍 Two Realities

From that moment forward, two versions exist:

1 The official explanation

◦ Medical

◦ Verifiable

◦ Complete

2 The alternative narrative

◦ Suggestive

◦ Unproven

◦ Persistent

And neither one fully erases the other.

🧩 The Pattern

This is how stories like this survive:

• The invention is never proven

• The death is explained—but not satisfying

• The gap between the two becomes the story

Because once belief attaches itself…

It doesn’t require evidence to continue.

😈 The Devil Within

The unsettling truth isn’t what happened in that restaurant.

It’s what happened after.

👉 The willingness to fill gaps with meaning 👉 The need for the story to resolve in a way that feels bigger than the facts 👉 The quiet shift from what is known… to what is believed

🔜 Next Episode

Next time, we move into a different kind of danger:

Not ideas that may not have worked…

But ideas that worked too well.

What We Built… And What We Buried: Episode Seven - The Car That Ran on Water May 27, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

What We Built… And What We Buried

Episode 7: The Car That Ran on Water

What if the system we depend on… was never necessary?

This week, The Devil Within explores one of the most persistent—and controversial—claims of the modern era:

A car powered not by gasoline…

But by water.

💧 The Claim

Inventor Stanley Meyer introduced a device he called a water fuel cell—a system that appeared to power a vehicle using one of the most abundant substances on Earth.

Water goes in. The engine turns. The car moves.

No visible fuel.

🎥 The Demonstrations

Observers saw it.

A modified vehicle—simple, exposed, almost unimpressive—running in a way that defied expectation.

• No gasoline input

• No obvious trick

• A functioning engine

And that’s all it took.

Because once something appears to work…

Belief follows quickly.

🧠 The Shift

The story stopped being about engineering.

And became about possibility.

👉 Freedom from fuel 👉 Independence from cost 👉 A system no longer controlled

Because the idea didn’t just solve a problem.

It erased it.

⚠️ The Fault Line

But demonstrations aren’t proof.

And when the questions came…

They didn’t go away:

• Where does the energy come from?

• Does the system produce more energy than it consumes?

• Can it be replicated?

Because there’s a rule that doesn’t bend:

👉 Energy cannot be created from nothing

😈 The Devil Within

This episode isn’t about whether the car worked.

It’s about why people needed it to.

Because belief doesn’t require completion.

It requires just enough evidence… to begin.

What happened next didn’t end the story.

The Devil’s Ledger — Week of May 25th, 2026

This Memorial Day, we take a moment to honor the true meaning behind the holiday—remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Then, in The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, we head to Los Angeles and explore the infamous Rosenheim Mansion—better known as the “Murder House” from American Horror Story. A historic home turned horror icon, its legacy blurs the line between fiction and reality, leaving one unsettling question: does a place become haunted… simply because we believe it is?

Over on The Devil Within, Season Five (What We Built… And What We Buried) continues with Episode 7—a deep dive into the legendary “car that ran on water.” Was it a revolutionary breakthrough, an elaborate hoax, or something quietly buried by industries that couldn’t afford to let it succeed?

Criminal Mischief is off this week, but Carolyn returns next episode. In the meantime, don’t miss Evio Creative’s newest hit, The Culture of Criminal Cool, following the rise and fall of drug kingpin Adam Diaz. This week features Episode 4 plus a bonus episode—a candid retraction and mea culpa as the team sets the record straight.

Finding Me with Josh Wolf is on a brief hiatus as a major announcement looms—stay tuned.

And on The Slippery, Scott and Nancy continue exposing some of the most fascinating cons in history.

This Week in Horror:
The biggest Memorial Day weekend opening for a horror film belongs to A Quiet Place Part II (2021), which earned $57 million. Directed by John Krasinski, the film—and its 2018 predecessor—help redefine modern horror through silence, tension, and atmosphere.

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Six - The Cost of Free Energy May 22, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

What We Built… And What We Buried

Episode 6: The Cost of Free Energy

Not all endings look like endings.

Some just… slow down.

🏗️ The Tower That Didn’t Fall

Wardenclyffe didn’t collapse.

It lingered.

A structure:

• Built

• Funded

• Nearly realized

But no longer moving forward.

🧠 The Reality

Tesla’s idea didn’t fail.

It was never fully tested.

Not because it couldn’t work…

But because the world couldn’t support what it would become.

💰 The System Problem

Electricity wasn’t just power.

It was a relationship:

• Producer → Consumer

• Delivery → Payment

• Usage → Measurement

Remove the wires…

And that relationship breaks.

❓ The Unanswered Question

Without a meter:

• Who owns the energy?

• Who controls access?

• How is value assigned?

These aren’t engineering problems.

They’re system problems.

🛑 The Withdrawal

Support didn’t vanish overnight.

It faded.

• Delays

• Hesitation

• Reduced funding

Until eventually…

Everything just stopped.

🧬 The Afterlife of an Idea

Tesla didn’t stop believing.

But without proof—without a completed system—his work began to shift:

• From innovation

• To speculation

• To myth

Meanwhile, the world doubled down on wires.

⚠️ The Hard Truth

Most people want this to be a story about suppression.

It’s not that clean.

Nothing was destroyed.

Nothing was officially rejected.

The idea just…

didn’t continue.

😈 The Devil Within

The real tension isn’t whether Tesla was right.

It’s this:

👉 The world isn’t shaped by what’s possible 👉 It’s shaped by what can be supported

And support requires alignment.

🔜 Next Episode

From energy… to motion.

A machine that claimed it could run without fuel.

Stanley Meyer—and the car that ran on water.

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Five - The World Without Wires May 20, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

What We Built… And What We Buried

Episode 5: The World Without Wires

What if electricity didn’t need wires at all?

Not improved. Not optimized.

Eliminated.

⚡ The Idea

At the turn of the 20th century, the world was building a system:

• Power plants

• Transmission lines

• Meters

• Control

Electricity had become something that could be measured… delivered… and billed.

And then came Nikola Tesla…

With a different vision.

🌍 The Disruption

Tesla wasn’t trying to improve the grid.

He was trying to replace it.

A world where:

• Energy moves through the air

• The Earth itself acts as a conductor

• Power is accessed—not delivered

No wires. No infrastructure. No clear point of control.

🏗️ Wardenclyffe

On Long Island, Tesla began building it:

Wardenclyffe Tower

A massive structure designed to:

• Transmit energy wirelessly

• Use the Earth as part of the circuit

• Prove that electricity could exist everywhere… simultaneously

This wasn’t theory.

It was being built.

💰 The Collision

Backed by J. P. Morgan, the project had momentum.

Until the scope became clear.

Because wireless communication was one thing.

Wireless power was another.

❓ The Question

As the vision expanded, one problem emerged:

Where do you put the meter?

Not a technical issue.

A structural one.

Because if energy can’t be measured… It can’t be monetized.

🛑 The Shift

Funding slowed. Support faded. Construction stalled.

The tower wasn’t destroyed.

It just… stopped.

😈 The Devil Within

This isn’t about suppression.

It’s about something more uncomfortable:

👉 Ideas don’t survive because they’re possible 👉 They survive because they fit the system

And this one didn’t.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of May 18th May 18, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger

Week of May 18, 2026

Spring is here—and summer isn’t far behind.

Another packed week across the Evio Creative Network, with new stories, new episodes, and a look at both the past… and what may be waiting at the end of it.

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

The End of the Green River Killer

News broke that Gary Ridgway—one of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history—is now receiving end-of-life care.

Operating for decades around Seattle, Ridgway targeted vulnerable women, ultimately confessing to 48 murders—though the true number may be higher.

What made Ridgway especially disturbing wasn’t just the scale of his crimes…

It was his ability to disappear into ordinary life while carrying out systematic, calculated violence.

And if there is such a thing as justice beyond this world?

Dante may have already decided his fate.

👉 The Seventh Circle of Hell—Violence 👉 Submerged in the river of boiling blood, Phlegethon 👉 Depth determined by the severity of the crimes

For Ridgway?

You can probably guess how deep that goes.

🔥 On The Devil Within

What We Built… And What We Buried

This week, we explore the genius—and the unfinished vision—of Nikola Tesla.

A man who attempted something radical:

👉 Wireless electricity 👉 Energy delivered through the air 👉 Power, accessible anywhere

And this wasn’t just an idea.

The Wardenclyffe Tower was actually built in New York.

So why did it stop?

And what happens when an idea doesn’t fail—but simply… disappears?

💰 On Criminal Mischief

With the “Hollywood” series wrapped, Carolyn Ossorio turns the page.

A new case is coming.

And if history is any indication…

It won’t be quiet.

🎙️ On The Culture of Criminal Cool

Episode Three continues the rise of Adam Diaz.

Because becoming a drug lord isn’t a straight line.

It’s messy. It’s dangerous.

And somehow…

Still just funny enough to keep you hooked.

⚠️ On The Slippery

Another scam exposed.

Another takedown.

👉 The victims get justice 👉 The scammers get what’s coming

Scott and Nancy take you behind the curtain once again.

🧠 On Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Josh is closing in on 100 episodes.

And things are shifting.

He’s getting closer to making the call he’s been circling for months:

👉 Professional help 👉 Real change 👉 The next phase

And the truth?

He couldn’t have gotten here without this journey.

🎬 This Week in Horror

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Four - The Fire That Never Was May 15, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

Episode 4: The Fire That Never Was

If Episode 3 asked what if it worked…

This episode asks:

What if it didn’t?

Or worse—

What if we can never know?

🧪 The Missing Proof

In science, the rule is simple:

If it can’t be reproduced, it doesn’t exist.

And Starlight never crossed that line.

• No formula

• No independent testing

• No replication

What remains isn’t proof.

It’s memory.

🎭 The Demonstration Problem

A demonstration shows you an outcome.

An experiment proves a process.

Starlight was never tested—it was shown.

• Controlled conditions

• Selective variables

• A compelling result

Enough to convince.

Not enough to confirm.

🧠 The Real Question

Was it real?

Was it illusion?

Or something that lived just long enough to convince—but not long enough to prove?

Because once something exists between proof and possibility…

It doesn’t disappear.

😈 The Devil Within

The easy answer is suppression.

But the more likely truth?

It didn’t need to be buried.

In a system built on verification, anything unproven is automatically contained.

Not rejected.

Just… never real.

🔜 Next Episode

From fire… to energy.

Nikola Tesla. Wireless power. And the cost of disrupting a system built on control.

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Three - The Man Who Defied Fire May 13, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

What We Built... And What We Buried:

Episode Three - The Man Who Defied Fire

What if someone actually solved fire?

Not slowed it. Not resisted it.

Solved it.

This week, we step into the story of Maurice Ward and his mysterious material: Starlight.

🔥 The Claim

In the early 1990s, Ward demonstrated a substance that appeared to do the impossible.

A raw egg. A white coating. A blowtorch.

And when it ended…

The egg was still raw.

Uncooked. Untouched. Unchanged.

🧠 The Implications

If Starlight worked, it wouldn’t just be useful.

It would be world-changing:

• Fireproof buildings

• Safer aircraft

• Entire industries reshaped

This wasn’t incremental.

This was disruptive.

🧪 The Mystery

And yet…

It never entered the world.

No patent. No formula. No independent verification.

Just demonstrations… and a man who refused to share the secret.

😈 The Devil Within

This episode isn’t about proving Starlight.

It’s about asking a harder question:

If something this powerful existed… could it ever actually be allowed to?

🔜 Next Episode

We move past the demonstration…

…and into the breakdown.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of May, 11th May 12, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger

Week of May 11, 2026

Spring has a way of resetting everything.

Not gently—but inevitably.

This week across the Evio Creative Network, we explore what happens when things don’t reset… when they pause, disappear, or get left behind entirely.

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

The Girl Who Disappeared Into Sleep

This week’s story centers on Nicole Delien and a rare neurological disorder known as Kleine-Levin Syndrome.

A condition that doesn’t just disrupt life…

It removes you from it.

• Episodes of sleeping up to 20 hours a day

• Episodes lasting weeks… even months

• Severe confusion, memory loss, and disorientation when awake

Nicole once slept for 64 consecutive days.

And when she woke up…

The world had moved on without her.

No cure. No warning. No way to predict when it will happen again.

Because the real horror isn’t the sleep.

It’s the missing time.

🔥 On The Devil Within

What We Built… And What We Buried

This season continues with a story that challenges something fundamental:

Fire.

A mysterious substance—called Stardust by its inventor—was said to completely neutralize heat.

Not resist it. Not slow it.

Eliminate it.

There are demonstrations. There are witnesses.

But there’s one critical gap:

👉 It was never tested in a controlled scientific setting

So the question becomes:

Was it real?

Or was it something that lived just long enough to convince… but not long enough to prove?

💰 On Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio wraps up her deep dive into Seattle’s elusive bank robber:

Hollywood.

A story that spans years… escalates in ambition… and ends the only way stories like this can:

In a blaze of glory.

🧠 On Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Josh keeps showing up.

And it’s starting to show.

The impact is real—but not simple.

Growth rarely is.

What started as a podcast has become something else entirely:

👉 A process 👉 A mirror 👉 A real-time evolution

And it’s getting more interesting by the week.

⚠️ On The Slippery

Scott and Nancy break down the world of hustlers and scammers—and how it all eventually collapses.

Because it always does.

👉 Follow The Slippery wherever you get your podcasts 👉 Learn how the scams work… before they work on you

🎙️ On The Culture of Criminal Cool

Episode Two drops this week.

Hosted by Ash Adams, this limited series dives into the cocaine trade of 1980s New York.

At the center:

Adam Diaz One of the biggest distributors of the era—and the top earner for the Medellín Cartel.

Raw. Unfiltered. Dangerous.

This is one you don’t want to miss.

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Two - The Agreement May 08, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within — Episode 2: The Agreement

What happens when success… becomes a problem?

By the 1920s, the world had been illuminated. Homes were wired, cities glowed after dark, and the lightbulb—once revolutionary—had become ordinary. But beneath that success, something unexpected was happening:

The bulbs were lasting too long.

Consumers weren’t replacing them. Sales began to flatten. And for an industry built on production, durability—once the ultimate goal—quietly became a threat.

In this episode, we step inside the rooms where that problem was solved—not through innovation, but through alignment.

The formation of what would become known as the Phoebus cartel didn’t just standardize production or stabilize markets… it redefined lifespan. A lightbulb, it was agreed, should last around 1,000 hours—not because it couldn’t last longer, but because it shouldn’t.

And once that standard was set, everything changed.

Bulbs that lasted too long were no longer celebrated… they were penalized. Durability wasn’t improved… it was managed. Failure wasn’t avoided… it was engineered.

This wasn’t a conspiracy. It was a system.

And once that system worked… it didn’t stay contained.

Because the real story isn’t just about lightbulbs.

It’s about what happens when failure becomes a feature—and how that decision reshaped the way things are made, sold, and expected to break.

What We Built...And What We Buried: Episode One - The Immortal Bulb May 06, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within — Episode 1: The Immortal Bulb

What if the limits we accept… were never really limits at all?

In a small fire station in Livermore, California, a lightbulb has been burning—almost continuously—since 1901. It hasn’t been replaced. It hasn’t failed. It has simply… remained.

At first, it feels like a curiosity. A relic from a different time. But the longer you sit with it, the more uncomfortable the question becomes:

If something built over a century ago can still work today… why don’t we expect things to last anymore?

In this episode, we step into the early days of electric light—when durability wasn’t a bonus, it was the goal. When engineers built for endurance, not replacement. And when the idea of something lasting decades wasn’t unusual… it was expected.

But somewhere along the way, that expectation changed.

Not suddenly. Not obviously. But deliberately.

Because when a product lasts too long… it stops being a product—and starts becoming a problem.

This is where the story shifts—from invention to intention.

From progress… to something else entirely.

Evio Presents: The Culture of Criminal Cool May 05, 2026

The Culture of Criminal Cool follows the true story of Adam Diaz—a Brooklyn street kid who rose to become a top earner for the Medellín cartel during the cocaine boom of 1980s NewYork, moving millions each week while navigating violence, loyalty, and the constant threat of collapse.

Hosted by award-winning actor/director Ash Adams, whose background in film andstorytelling brings a sharp, cinematic lens to real-life crime, the series pulls you inside Diaz’s world through firsthand accounts of his rise, his near-fatal mistakes, and the decisions that defined him—from gunfights in the street to high-stakes deals that blurred the line between survival and self-destruction.

But this isn’t just a crime story—it’s an unflinching look at the mindset behind it all, and the uncomfortable truth that the line between who we are… and who we could become… is thinner than we think.

The Devil's Ledger: May the Fourth... Be With You May 04, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger — Week of May 4

A new week across the Evio Creative Network—and this one comes with a shift.

From a chilling story out of Japan that blurs the line between routine and horror… to the launch of an entirely new direction for The Devil Within… to a brand new show diving deep into the myth and reality of criminal power—this week is about one thing:

What we choose to see… and what we quietly bury.

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

A disturbing story out of Asahiyama Zoo raises a question that lingers long after the headlines fade.

Not because of the violence.

But because of how seamlessly it fit into the world around it.

A place designed for wonder. For control. For observation.

And a reminder that sometimes the most unsettling thing… isn’t what happened.

It’s how easily it could be hidden.

🔥 On The Devil Within — Season 5 Begins

We’re entering new territory.

Season Five, What We Built… And What We Buried, steps away from blood and possession… and into something quieter—and arguably more dangerous:

Our resistance to change.

This season explores the moments where innovation collided with power… and lost.

Episode One drops Monday:

The Immortal Bulb — a technological miracle… until you realize it may have been deliberately suppressed.

⏸️ On The Ides of April

We’re hitting pause for a few weeks while The Devil Within gets fully dialed in.

But don’t worry—the story continues soon.

💰 On Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio continues her deep dive into Seattle bank robber Hollywood.

The first heist is done.

The money is real.

And now… the pressure begins.

🧠 On Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Josh keeps showing up—honest, unfiltered, and very much in progress.

There’s something powerful about watching someone check in with themselves… in real time.

⚠️ On The Slippery

Scott and Nancy break down the biggest scams you almost fell for.

Follow The Slippery—because the only thing worse than hearing about a con…

Is becoming the mark.

🎙️ New Show — The Culture of Criminal Cool

Hosted by Ash Adams, this new series tracks 1980s Brooklyn drug kingpin Adam Diaz.

But this isn’t a retelling.

Ash goes to the Dominican Republic… finds him… and sits down for a multi-day interview.

What comes out of it?

Unprecedented access to the inner workings of the 80s drug trade.

This one’s going to hit.

What They Created in Boggy Creek: The Fouke Monster - Part Two May 01, 2026

🎧The Devil Within

Episode 2: What They Created in Boggy Creek

Once the sightings began to repeat…

The town made a decision.

They stopped waiting.

They went looking.

Episode Two shifts from encounter to response, as the people of Fouke take matters into their

own hands—organizing search parties, entering the woods, and attempting to impose structure

on something that refused to be understood.

But the deeper they went…

The less they found.

No body.

No capture.

No resolution.

Only signs.

And silence.

As the story spreads beyond Fouke, it begins to change. What was once uncertain becomes

defined. What was once incomplete becomes narrative. And with the release of The Legend of

Boggy Creek, the legend takes on a life of its own—one that no longer belongs solely to the

people who experienced it.

Because once a story escapes its origin…

It doesn’t just grow.

It transforms.

And sometimes, the most unsettling question isn’t what people saw in the woods…

But what was created afterward.🔥 On This Episode:

• Organized hunts and the failure to find answers

• The limits of control in an uncontrolled environment

• Media amplification and narrative distortion

• The cultural impact of The Legend of Boggy Creek

• How unresolved events become lasting belief systems

The Seige of Fouke: The Fouke Monster - Part One Apr 29, 2026

🎧The Devil Within

Episode 1: The Siege of Fouke

There are places where the night doesn’t feel empty…

It feels occupied.

In the spring of 1971, the small town of Fouke, Arkansas, began experiencing something that

didn’t fit within the boundaries of the natural world its residents knew so well. What started as

scattered sounds in the woods—heavy, deliberate movement where none should exist—quickly

evolved into something far more unsettling.

Because it didn’t stop.

It didn’t pass through.

It stayed.

And then… it got closer.

In Episode One of The Devil Within, we explore the earliest encounters with what would come to

be known as the Fouke Monster. Through firsthand accounts, environmental context, and the

now-infamous encounter at the home of Bobby Ford, a pattern begins to emerge—one defined

not by chaos, but by control.

Something large.

Something deliberate.

Something that chose when to be seen… and when to disappear.

But the most disturbing part?

It crossed the boundary.

Because once something moves from the woods… to the house…

It stops being a story.

And becomes something else entirely.

🔥 On This Episode:

• The geography and psychology of Fouke, Arkansas

• Early reports and the formation of a pattern• The Bobby Ford encounter — and why it changed everything

• Behavior that doesn’t align with known wildlife

• The moment fear becomes expectation

The Devil's Ledger - April 27th Apr 27, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger

Week of April 27

Welcome back. Hope everyone had a great week.

From graveyards to digital ghosts… this week’s stories don’t just cross boundaries—

They erase them.

🕯️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

This week’s story starts where most stories should end… in a cemetery.

In Pennsylvania, authorities uncovered a case of repeated grave desecration—mausoleums broken into, vaults opened, and human remains removed over time. Not impulsively. Not randomly. But methodically. Dozens of bodies disturbed. Generations of the dead… handled like objects.

But as disturbing as that is, it’s not the part that lingers.

Because alongside it is something quieter… and arguably more unsettling:

The rise of what some are calling digital grave robbing.

AI recreating voices. Faces. Personalities. The dead—brought back not symbolically, but functionally. Used in media, content, even advertising… sometimes without consent.

It forces a question we’re not ready to answer:

At what point does preservation become violation?

🐊 This Week on The Devil Within

We head deep into the American South for a two-part series on the Fouke Monster—a swamp-dwelling cryptid out of Arkansas tied to a pattern of sightings that refuses to fade into myth.

This isn’t just about something in the woods.

It’s about proximity.

Because whatever people were dealing with in Fouke… it didn’t stay out there.

It came closer.

🏛️ On The Ides of April

A new series begins on the assassination of William McKinley—a moment remembered less for the presidency it ended…

…and more for the one it created.

Because waiting in the wings was Theodore Roosevelt.

This is the story of a single moment that reshaped the trajectory of American power.

🕵️‍♀️ On Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio continues her deep dive into Hollywood—the Seattle-based bank robber who somehow became both criminal and folk hero.

This week: the rise, the myth, and the reality behind the legend.

Because the truth…

Is always less cinematic.

And more dangerous.

🎙️ On Finding Me

Josh Wolf hit a few bumps last week.

But he keeps showing up.

And that’s the story.

Follow Finding Me every weekday—because growth isn’t clean, and it isn’t linear… but it’s real.

🕶️ On The Slippery

The newest Evio show is off to a strong start.

Each week, hosts Nancy and Scott break down a new case involving scammers, grifters, and the people who thought they could get away with it.

They didn’t.

Catch up now and stay current.

🎬 This Week in Horror

A major release from Warner Bros. Pictures:

The Mummy, directed by Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise) and produced by James Wan and Jason Blum.

This isn’t a remake—it’s a reinvention.

A body horror take on the classic legend, following a family terrorized by their daughter after she returns… eight years after going missing.

Grotesque. Violent. Uncomfortable.

Exactly what you want.

What Was Made Here: The Legend of The Honey Island Swamp Monster, Part Two Apr 24, 2026

Episode Two: What Was Made Here

Every legend eventually reaches for an explanation.

This episode challenges it.

In Episode Two, we move beyond sightings and into something far more complicated — origin,

adaptation, and intention.

You’ve heard the story:

A train derailment.

Animals released into the swamp.

Time, isolation, and evolution doing the rest.

It’s neat.

It’s plausible.

And it might be completely unnecessary.

Because the real question isn’t how something got there…

It’s how something has remained.

As we explore the long-term effects of isolation, environmental adaptation, and behavioral

evolution, a different picture begins to emerge — one where elusiveness isn’t accidental… it’s

developed.

Where withdrawal isn’t fear…

It’s strategy.

And where the absence of evidence doesn’t mean nothing is there…

It may mean something has learned how not to be found.

Because if something understands its environment — and understands you within it — then

every sighting stops looking like an accident.

And starts looking like a choice.

🔥 On This Episode:

• The myth of the train derailment origin story

• Environmental adaptation and isolation theory

• Behavioral patterns that suggest awareness

• The difference between hiding… and choosing not to be seen

• Why the lack of evidence may not mean what we think it does🔗 Listen + Follow

Something in the Water: The Legend of the Honey Island Swamp Monster Apr 22, 2026

🎧The Devil Within

Episode One: Something in the Water

There are places that don’t just exist…

They endure.

In Episode One of The Devil Within, we enter the dense, shifting landscape of Honey Island

Swamp — a place where visibility is unreliable, sound is suppressed, and movement feels…

negotiated. It’s an environment built not for discovery, but for concealment.

And in a place like that…

Something could exist without ever needing to be fully seen.

This episode lays the foundation of one of America’s most persistent cryptid legends — the

Honey Island Swamp Monster. Through firsthand accounts, environmental analysis, and the

now-infamous 1974 footage captured by Harlan Ford, we begin to examine a pattern that refuses

to go away.

Not because it’s proven.

But because it won’t disappear.

Witnesses describe something massive. Upright. Always at a distance. Never aggressive. Never

chasing. Always withdrawing — but not in panic… in control.

And that detail changes everything.

Because if what people are seeing isn’t reacting…

Then maybe it’s aware.

🔥 On This Episode:

• The geography and psychology of Honey Island Swamp

• The 1974 footage and why it still matters

• Consistent witness patterns across decades

• Sensory anomalies: sound, smell, and silence

• The unsettling implication of controlled withdrawal

The Devil's Ledger - Week of April 20th Apr 20, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger

Welcome back.

This week, we dive straight into something unsettling… and end with something big.

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Miniwashitu

A story out of North Dakota — where winter isn’t just a season, it’s a presence.

The Miniwashitu isn’t something you see clearly. It’s something you feel. A shifting, ancient force tied to old traditions, said to emerge at the exact moment winter begins to loosen its grip.

No dramatic entrance. No clear form.

Just silence. A different kind of quiet. And something moving where nothing should be able to move.

Livestock disappear. Tracks appear in frozen ground. And then… it’s gone.

Spring follows.

Always.

Which raises the question: Is it a story that explains the changing seasons… or something that causes them?

🔥 Across the Evio Universe

🎙️ The Devil Within A two-part investigation into The Honey Island Swamp Monster — one of the most credible cryptid cases in America. Footprints, photos, and even 8mm footage. This one has receipts.

📜 The Ides of April We conclude our deep dive into the assassination of Olof Palme. The case is officially closed… and still officially unsolved. This final episode breaks down the leading theories — and why none of them fully land.

🚨 Criminal Mischief Carolyn Ossorio continues her series on “Hollywood,” the Seattle bank robber turned unlikely folk hero. Which… says more about us than it does about him.

🎤 Finding Me with Josh Wolf The show is evolving — more structure, more focus, and a deeper commitment to growth. Still raw. Still honest. Just sharper.

🆕 New Show Launch: The Slippery

From the creators of Scamanda, a new show has entered the network:

The Slippery — a weekly deep dive into some of the biggest scams and cons ever pulled.

This week: The Malibu Doctor Swindle — a grifting couple who infiltrate the life of a wealthy ophthalmologist… and slowly take everything.

It’s smart, unsettling, and exactly the kind of story that makes you question how easily people can be manipulated.

Introducing: THE SLIPPERY Apr 20, 2026

THE SLIPPERY

The con artists think they're untouchable. The fraudsters believe their schemes are foolproof. The scammers assume they'll never be caught. They're all dead wrong.

THE SLIPPERY: Nancy and Scott dissect each case from first lie to final reckoning, with one host pitching why this story deserves the Hollywood treatment—documentary series, limited series, or feature film.

The Beast of Bladenboro - Part Two: The Creature That Science Couldn't Explain Apr 17, 2026

🌑 Episode Two: The Creature That Science Couldn’t Explain

At some point, the fear changes.

It’s no longer about what’s out there.

It’s about what’s watching.

🔥 In This Episode:

The escalation from night attacks to broad daylight encounters

Evidence suggesting intelligence beyond animal behavior

Organized hunts involving over 100 armed men

The moment hunters finally see it—and fire

The creature’s impossible response

🔫 The Encounter

Six men. Clear shot. Fifty yards.

A bullet that should have ended it.

Did nothing.

And then—

It smiled.

Before turning, calmly, and walking into the river.

Gone.

🧠 The Shift

This wasn’t just a predator.

It was something that:

Studied human behavior

Avoided capture deliberately

Manipulated fear

Chose when—and how—to be seen

🌊 The Disappearance

Six weeks.

Dozens of animals.

Multiple witnesses.

And then—

Nothing.

No tracks. No bodies. No explanation.

🎯 The Takeaway

Some mysteries don’t fade.

They stop.

As if something decided…

It was finished.

The Beast of Bladenboro: Part One - The Vampire of Bladenboro County Apr 15, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

The Beast of Bladenboro

🩸 Episode One: The Vampire of Bladenboro County

It begins with silence.

A kind of silence that doesn’t belong in a place like Bladenboro, North Carolina.

A farm. Three dogs. Gone—overnight.

No struggle. No blood. Just small, precise puncture wounds… and bodies that should have contained something that was no longer there.

🧠 In This Episode:

The first documented attacks in January 1954

Veterinary analysis confirming complete exsanguination

The emergence of a pattern too precise to be random

Eyewitness reports of a creature that didn’t move like any known animal

The growing realization that this wasn’t natural predation

🧬 The Pattern

Every kill the same.

Healthy animals

No defensive wounds

No blood—anywhere

Not feeding. Not hunting.

Something else.

👁️ The First Sightings

A creature described as:

Dog-sized… but wrong

Front legs longer than the back

A cat-like face

Eyes that didn’t just reflect light—but seemed to hold it

And movement that wasn’t running…

But flowing.

🎯 The Takeaway

This wasn’t chaos.

It was control.

And whatever was doing it—

Knew exactly what it was doing.

EVIO Creative Presents - The Last Walk: The Assassination of Olof Palme, Part One Apr 14, 2026

🎧 The Ides of April — The Last Walk

Episode 1: The Most Dangerous Social Democrat in the World

On a cold February night in 1986, Olof Palme walked home from the cinema without security — a decision rooted in principle… and one that would cost him his life.

In Episode One, we trace the life of a man who became one of the most dangerous voices in global politics. Born into privilege, shaped by his experiences in America, and hardened by conviction, Palme rose to power — and used it to challenge the world’s most powerful institutions.

He condemned the Vietnam War. He supported anti-apartheid movements. He confronted global power structures — publicly, unapologetically.

By 1986, he had made enemies across governments, intelligence agencies, and shadow networks operating beneath the surface of international politics.

This is the story of how a leader becomes a target.

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger — Week of April 13 Apr 13, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger — Week of April 13

This week, we begin with a return from the edge of the unknown.

Our astronauts are home after their journey around the moon — a reminder of how far we’ve come… and how much we still don’t understand. And if they saw something out there… something they can’t explain… we’re listening.

Back on Earth, a different kind of launch: The Devil Within is now on Patreon. A huge thank you to our early subscribers — you’re helping build something deeper, more ambitious, and more independent. This is just the beginning, and your feedback will shape what comes next.

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

A quiet stretch outside Seattle. A name that sounds like folklore: Starvation Heights.

But it’s real.

In the early 1900s, Linda Burfield Hazzard operated a “health retreat” that promised healing through extreme fasting. What followed was something far darker — patients reduced to skeletal forms, convinced their suffering was part of the cure… until many of them died.

Bodies buried on the property. Families left without answers.

And today? People still avoid certain parts of the land. Not out of respect — out of instinct.

Because some places don’t forget.

🔥 Across the Evio Universe

🎙️ The Devil Within A two-part series on The Beast of Bladenboro — a canine-like predator that terrorized North Carolina. Livestock. Pets. Drained of blood. Witnesses include veterinarians, law enforcement, and locals who saw something they couldn’t explain. Vampire? Cryptid? Something else?

📜 The Ides of April We begin a new series on the life and assassination of Olof Palme. A public killing. A global web of enemies. And a mystery that remains unsolved decades later.

🕯️ Taboo Treasures Still dark. And getting darker.

🚨 Criminal Mischief Carolyn continues her deep dive into “Hollywood,” the Seattle bank robber who somehow earned a Robin Hood reputation… despite keeping every dollar.

🎤 Finding Me with Josh Wolf Still raw. Still honest. And now — impossible to ignore. The audience is growing, and for good reason.

🎬 This Week in Horror

The Yeti arrives on streaming — a search and rescue mission in Alaska that collides with something ancient in the wilderness. If you heard our episode on that legend, you already know… this one might hit a nerve.

Voices in the Void: Part Two - What Follows Us Up there... Apr 10, 2026

🎙 Episode Two: What Follows Us Up There

👁 The WatchersAstronauts begin reporting:

• Objects that move with purpose

• Lights that respond to spacecraft

• Formations that appear to observe human activity

From Gordon Cooper’s Mercury mission to ISS footage—

These are not random anomalies.

👉 They behave with intent.

🌠 Intelligent Observation

Crew members describe:

• Objects pacing spacecraft

• Positioning for visibility

• Appearing during EVA operations

Not passing through space—

👉 Studying it.

🧠 Expanded Consciousness

Some astronauts report experiences far beyond perception:

• Seeing Earth across different time periods

• Living other lives

• Encountering luminous, “angelic” beings

Not confusion.

Not panic.

👉 Clarity.

🌍 The Aftermath

Many astronauts return changed:

• Spiritual awakenings• Depression and isolation

• Lifelong obsession with what they experienced

Because some things cannot be explained—

And can’t be forgotten.

🎯 Episode Two Takeaway

The greatest unknown in space may not be what’s out there—

But what happens to us when we go there.

🧠 The Bigger Question

Across both episodes, one pattern emerges:

• Different missions

• Different countries

• Same experiences

Presence.

Voices.

Observation.

Transformation.

🎯 Final Thought

We went into space looking for life.

But the most unsettling discovery may be this:

👉 When you remove Earth…

👉 The mind doesn’t just endure the void.

It begins to change within it.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! Apr 08, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within — Patreon Announcement

Today’s episode is a little different.

Branden shares a major update for the future of the show:

The Devil Within is now on Patreon.

Starting now, you can get early access to weekly episodes, completely ad-free listening, exclusive bonus stories, and deeper dives into cases that go beyond what’s released on the public feed.

This show has grown into something far bigger than it was ever supposed to be — but behind every episode is a massive amount of research, writing, and production. And the truth is… there’s always more.

More details that don’t make the cut.
More cases that don’t fit the format.
More questions that deserve time.

That’s what Patreon is for.

You’ll also get behind-the-scenes access, breaking down how episodes are built — what was found, what was left out, and what still doesn’t add up. Plus, Q&As and direct conversations, so this becomes a real dialogue, not just a one-way feed.

Most importantly, this helps keep the show independent — built story by story, without compromise.

The main show will always be free.

But if you want more… this is where you get it.

Voices in the Void: Part One - The Third Man in Space Apr 08, 2026

🎙 Episode One: The Third Man in Space

👁 The Presence

Soviet cosmonaut Georgy Grechko begins to feel something watching him.

Not a hallucination.

Not a passing thought.

A presence.

One that remains just outside his vision… but never fully disappears.🧠 The Third Man Factor

Across missions and decades, astronauts report the same phenomenon:

• An unseen companion

• Footsteps with no source

• Voices in empty modules

A known psychological effect on Earth—

But in space, it becomes something far more ambiguous.

Not comforting.

👉 Observational.

🔊 Voices Without Bodies

Apollo astronauts hear structured “music” on the far side of the Moon.

Others report:

• Whispering voices

• Rhythmic tones

• Sounds with intention

In a vacuum—where sound cannot exist.

🎯 Episode One Takeaway

The mind does not go quiet in space.

It adapts.

And in that adaptation, it may begin to perceive things we don’t fully understand.

The Pope Lick Monster - Part Two: The Spreading Shadow Apr 03, 2026

🌑 Episode Two: The Spreading Shadow

At first, it was just one place.

One bridge.
One legend.

But that’s no longer the case.

Because what researchers—and law enforcement—have begun to uncover is far more unsettling:

The Pope Lick Monster isn’t alone.

🧬 In This Episode:

Evidence suggesting multiple creatures operating simultaneously
Expansion of sightings across railroad crossings and multiple states
Cases involving cell phone mimicry and digital voice replication
The emergence of coordinated hunting behavior
Scientific findings pointing to a previously unknown species

📡 The Evolution

What began as simple mimicry has become something far more advanced.

Voices pulled from memory.
Voices pulled from technology.

Even entire conversations recreated with terrifying accuracy.

Victims aren’t just being called.

They’re being targeted.

🌍 The Expansion

Railroad lines.
Isolated crossings.
Places where escape is limited and timing is everything.

The pattern is clear:

This isn’t random.

It’s strategic.

And it’s spreading.

🎯 The Takeaway

Some predators adapt to survive.

Others adapt to hunt better.

And this one…

Is learning.

The Pope Lick Monster: Trestle of the Damned Apr 01, 2026

The Pope Lick Monster

🌉 Episode One: The Trestle of the Damned

It starts with a bridge.

A steel trestle stretching across a dark Kentucky valley—built for trains, not for people.

And yet… people keep finding their way onto it.

Late at night. Alone. Drawn there by something they can’t quite explain.

For decades, the Pope Lick trestle has been the site of documented deaths—not random accidents, but eerily consistent incidents involving people who should have known better.

Experienced outdoorsmen. Railroad workers. Law enforcement.

All ending up on the tracks.

All at the wrong moment.

All claiming, in some form or another…

That something called them there.

🧠 In This Episode:

The history of the Pope Lick railroad trestle and its pattern of fatalities

Eyewitness descriptions of a humanoid, horned creature

The creature’s most disturbing ability: vocal mimicry

Cases where victims were lured using voices of loved ones

The phenomenon of psychological manipulation overriding survival instincts

🗣️ The Calling Voice

Survivors describe it the same way:

A voice in the dark.

Familiar. Personal. Impossible.

Calling your name.

And even when you know something is wrong…

You keep walking.

🎯 The Takeaway

This isn’t just a creature that hunts.

It’s a predator that understands us.

And uses that understanding against us.

EVIO Presents: The Parade, Part One: The Assassination of Anwar Sadat Mar 31, 2026

🎧 The Ides of April

The Parade: The Assassination of Anwar Sadat

🏛️ Episode One: The Hero’s Welcome

Cairo. October 6th, 1981.

A perfect morning. A nation celebrating victory. A president at the height of his power.

And a moment—just seconds long—that will change everything.

Anwar Sadat stands before a cheering crowd, marking the anniversary of the October War—the defining triumph of his presidency.

He is a man who has survived prison, revolution, war, and political betrayal.

A man who believes—deeply—that history is shaped by those willing to act.

But the salute he rises to receive…

Is not a salute at all.

🧠 In This Episode:

The early life of Anwar Sadat—from rural Egypt to revolutionary

His radicalization under British occupation and time in prison

The rise of the Free Officers Movement and the shadow of Gamal Abdel Nasser

The 1973 war and the restoration of Egyptian national pride

The unprecedented decision to make peace with Israel—and its consequences

✈️ The Point of No Return

In 1977, Sadat flies to Israel.

He stands before the Knesset. He speaks of peace.

And in doing so—

He redraws the map of the Middle East.

He also signs his own death warrant.

⚖️ The Shift

To some, he is a visionary.

To others—

A traitor.

Pamphlets begin circulating. Arguments turn theological.

And somewhere inside Egypt…

A plan begins to form.

🎯 The Takeaway

Sadat believed one man could change history.

He was right.

But history has a cost.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of March 30th Mar 30, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger

Week of March 30th

Welcome back.

And before we get into anything…

A quick reminder:

Don’t fall for any April Fool’s Day hijinks this week.

Because in a world already full of misinformation, staged chaos, and things that feel fake but aren’t…

We don’t need any extra help getting confused.

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

There’s something happening in Austin.

And it doesn’t feel like a festival.

It feels like a gathering.

Not of fans. Not of hobbyists. But of people who’ve seen something… and never quite came back the same.

It’s called Strange & Extraordinary Fest.

And on paper, it sounds harmless—panels, speakers, a marketplace.

A celebration of the paranormal, UFOs, and cryptids.

But look closer…

And something shifts.

Because this isn’t just storytelling.

It’s convergence.

Paranormal investigators. UFO researchers. Cryptid hunters.

All in one place.

All telling different stories…

That somehow start to sound the same.

Different experiences. Same patterns.

And the people telling them?

They’re not performing.

They’re remembering.

🔥 On The Devil Within

This week, we begin a new series:

The Pope Lick Monster.

A story that exists somewhere between legend… and documented tragedy.

For nearly 80 years, reports out of Kentucky describe a nine-foot, horned creature that lures people onto a narrow railroad trestle.

Not by force.

By voice.

Witnesses claim it can mimic the voices of friends… loved ones… people you trust.

And once you step onto that bridge—

There’s nowhere to go.

Because eventually…

A train comes.

🗡️ On The Ides of April

We begin a new series on the assassination of Anwar Sadat.

A man shaped by war…

Who chose peace.

And in doing so—

Became a target.

From battlefield hero… to Nobel Peace Prize winner…

To assassination in broad daylight.

This is a story about transformation.

And the cost of it.

🎭 On Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio continues her deep dive into Hollywood—the Seattle bank robber who turned crime into performance.

Disguises. Charm. Risk.

He didn’t just rob banks.

He entertained.

And as this story unfolds, the line between charisma and inevitability begins to disappear.

🎬 This Week in Horror

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen

A new horror miniseries created by Haley Z. Boston, executive produced by the Duffer Brothers.

The story follows an engaged couple whose wedding begins to unravel in ways that feel…

Off.

Not chaotic. Not random.

Intentional.

Like something is quietly moving beneath the surface.

It premiered March 26—and early buzz suggests this is one that builds slowly…

And then doesn’t let go.

Mother Earth's Children - Part Two : The Harvest of Souls Mar 27, 2026

🔥 Episode Two: The Harvest of Souls

By the summer of 1971, the transformation is complete.

What began as a commune… Has become something far more controlled. Far more dangerous. Far more final.

On the summer solstice, Morrison tells his followers that Mother Earth is no longer satisfied with symbolic offerings.

She wants something more.

🩸 In This Episode:

• The escalation from ritual to human sacrifice

• How Morrison used drugs, deprivation, and belief to override moral boundaries

• The targeted selection of victims—and why they were chosen

• The reality behind what followers believed were acts of transcendence

• The investigation that finally exposed the truth

🚨 The Reckoning

Three lives lost. Dozens psychologically shattered. And a leader who never saw himself as the villain.

The trial that followed forced a confrontation with a question that still lingers:

Where does spiritual freedom end… And exploitation begin?

🧠 The Takeaway

The search for meaning is human.

But in the wrong hands—

It becomes a weapon.

Mother Earth's Children - Part One: The Garden of Earthly Delights Mar 25, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

Mother Earth’s Children

🌿 Episode One: The Garden of Earthly Delights

It begins, as these stories often do, with something that looks like hope.

Northern California. The early 1970s. A generation searching for meaning beyond institutions that no longer made sense.

And a man who seemed to have the answers.

Thomas “Brother Sun” Morrison—former seminary student, charismatic thinker, and architect of a new spiritual vision—offered something intoxicating:

Connection. Transcendence. A return to what he called Mother Earth’s original wisdom.

But what he built in the hills above Mendocino wasn’t just a commune.

It was a system.

🧠 In This Episode:

• The rise of Morrison and his Earth Mother philosophy

• How educated, idealistic followers were drawn into a closed spiritual community

• The subtle shift from guidance to psychological control

• The use of ritual, isolation, and “sacred chemistry” to reshape belief

• The first disappearance—and the moment everything changed

🌑 The Shift

What begins as spiritual exploration slowly becomes something else.

Control disguised as enlightenment. Obedience reframed as transcendence.

And rituals that move—almost imperceptibly—from symbolic…

To real.

🎯 The Takeaway

The most dangerous systems don’t look dangerous at first.

They look like answers.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of March 22nd Mar 23, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger

Week of March 22nd — The First Day of Spring

Spring has officially arrived.

Longer days. Warmer air. The illusion—however brief—that things might be turning toward the light.

But if you’ve been here before… you already know.

Spring doesn’t just bring renewal.

It brings ritual.
It brings obsession.
And sometimes—it brings something much darker.

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

The Catskill Mountain Coven

In 1952, deep in the Catskills, farmers began finding livestock arranged in precise, ritualistic patterns—geometric formations visible only from above.

What followed was an investigation into a secretive group known as the Mountain Keepers—a collection of educated outsiders led by a former seminary student who claimed to have rediscovered ancient spiritual truths.

Underground chambers.
Ritual markings.
Human remains predating known settlement.

The group vanished.

The site remains sealed.

And locals still report that, each spring… something in the mountains wakes up.

🔥 On The Devil Within

New Series: The California Hippie Murders

Northern California.
Communal living.
Nature worship.

An “Earth Mother” belief system built around fertility and balance.

But behind the language of harmony, something twisted.

What they called ceremonies…
What they claimed were rituals of renewal…

Were actually murders.

Ritualized.
Justified.
And hidden in plain sight.

🗡️ On The Ides of April

Series Finale: The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin

We close our series on the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.

The assassin.
The investigation.
The ideology behind it.

And the documents that remain classified.

Three decades later, the questions haven’t gone away.

Because some events don’t end.

They echo.

🎭 On Criminal Mischief

New Mini-Series: “Hollywood”

A Seattle bank robber known only as Hollywood.

Not violent.
Not subtle.
But impossible to ignore.

With disguises, confidence, and a flair for performance, he turned robbery into spectacle.

It’s a wild story—with an ending you won’t see coming.

🕯️ On Taboo Treasures

Dark this week.

We’ll leave it there.

🎤 On Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Finding Me has moved to Josh’s original YouTube home—the Hey Maaan channel.

A bigger audience.
The same mission:

Show up.
Stay accountable.
Do the work.

And the results are already showing.

🎬 This Week in Horror

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

The sequel to Ready or Not goes bigger, darker, and deeper into its mythology.

What started as a sharp, satirical horror story is evolving into something more unsettling.

Less joke.
More inevitability.

And that shift makes it dangerous.

Rectory of the Damned - Part Two: The Investigators and the Inferno Mar 20, 2026

Episode 2: The Investigators and the Inferno

In Episode Two, the story of Borley takes a darker turn.

After the death of the Bull family patriarch, new residents move into the rectory—and quickly discover they are not alone.

The Foyster family arrives in 1930 expecting a quaint country parish.

What they encounter instead is a full-scale poltergeist siege.

Objects move on their own. Messages appear on walls. Personal items vanish and reappear in impossible places. And at the center of it all is Marianne Foyster, who becomes the focus of increasingly violent supernatural activity.

What was once a passive haunting becomes interactive, intelligent… and aggressive.

Enter Harry Price, Britain’s most famous paranormal investigator.

Armed with cameras, instruments, and a scientific mindset, Price sets out to prove—or disprove—the haunting once and for all.

What he discovers changes everything.

Through a combination of supernatural communication and archaeological excavation, Price uncovers human remains buried beneath the rectory—evidence that appears to validate centuries-old accounts of a murdered woman seeking recognition.

For the first time in decades… the activity changes.

It quiets.

As if something has finally been heard.

But the story doesn’t end there.

In 1939, Borley Rectory is consumed by a mysterious fire—one that burns with unusual intensity and behavior, destroying much of the physical evidence while leaving behind more questions than answers.

Was the fire accidental?

Or was it… the final act of a haunting that had finally run its course?

Rectory of the Damned: Part One - The House that Hell Built Mar 18, 2026

🎧 The Devil Within

The Rectory of the Damned

Episode 1: The House That Hell Built

This week on The Devil Within, we begin a two-part investigation into one of the most famous hauntings in paranormal history:

Borley Rectory in Essex, England—often called “the most haunted house in England.”

The legend of Borley stretches back centuries to a medieval priory once built on the same ground. According to local lore, a young nun named Marie Lairre was murdered after attempting to flee with a monk, her body secretly buried on the monastery grounds.

When Reverend Henry Bull built Borley Rectory in 1863 on the ruins of that priory, strange events reportedly began almost immediately.

The Bull family described sightings of a mysterious woman in white walking the grounds, unexplained footsteps echoing through empty corridors, and a ghostly figure whose nightly route became known as “the nun’s walk.”

For decades, Borley became one of Britain’s most documented hauntings.

But when the Bull family era ended, the activity would take a darker turn.

EVIO Presents: The Last Handshake - Part One Mar 17, 2026

🎧 The Ides of April The Last Handshake: The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin Episode 1: A Man of War Learns Peace Our new series on The Ides of April begins with the remarkable life of Yitzhak Rabin—a soldier shaped by war who ultimately became one of the most controversial advocates for peace in modern Israeli history. Born in Jerusalem in 1922 during the British Mandate, Rabin grew up in a land already defined by conflict. As a young man he joined the Palmach, the elite Jewish strike force that would later form the backbone of Israel’s military, and spent decades fighting in the wars that defined the early years of the Israeli state. Over time Rabin rose to become one of Israel’s most respected military leaders and eventually Prime Minister. But by the early 1990s, after a lifetime of war, he came to believe that military victories alone could not resolve the conflict with the Palestinians. That belief led to one of the most iconic—and controversial—moments in modern diplomacy. In 1993, Rabin stood on the White House lawn and shook hands with Yasser Arafat, formalizing the Oslo peace process. The gesture stunned the world and deeply divided Israel. Supporters saw courage and possibility. Critics saw betrayal. As political tensions escalated and extremist rhetoric intensified, Rabin continued pressing forward with negotiations. The episode ends on November 4, 1995, at a massive peace rally in Tel Aviv where Rabin joined the crowd in singing the “Song for Peace.” Minutes later, he would be shot. 🎧 Follow The Ides of April wherever you listen so you never miss an episode. ⭐ If you enjoy the show, please leave a five-star review—it helps more people discover the series. 📲 And follow us on YouTube and social media for additional historical content and behind-the-scenes material.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of March 16th. Mar 16, 2026

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger

Week of March 16

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, your weekly look across the Evio Creative Universe—from paranormal history and true crime to the strange stories lurking just beyond the headlines. This week we lean into the arrival of spring, a season long associated with ancient pagan traditions of renewal, rebirth, and the quiet promise that the world can start again.

But first…

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

This week’s story comes out of Florida, where prosecutors revealed disturbing details about two teenagers accused of plotting to murder a classmate as part of what investigators described as a “blood ritual.”

Authorities allege the teens had been discussing the killing as a ritualistic act involving blood and symbolism. The plan, investigators say, wasn’t a spontaneous argument or schoolyard conflict—it was something darker and more deliberate.

👻 On The Devil Within

This week we begin a two-part series exploring one of the most famous hauntings in British history:

Borley Rectory in Essex, England.

Often called “the most haunted house in England,” Borley Rectory became the focus of decades of ghost sightings, mysterious writings appearing on walls, phantom footsteps, and reports of a ghostly nun wandering the grounds.

Priests, paranormal investigators, skeptics, and believers all attempted to explain the strange events reported there.

And this week we begin unpacking the history behind one of the most infamous haunted houses ever recorded.

🕊️ On The Ides of April

A brand-new historical series begins as well.

This time we examine the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin—a moment that reshaped modern Middle Eastern politics.

Thirty years later, Rabin’s murder remains one of the most consequential political assassinations of the modern era. Our series explores how the assassination unfolded, the unanswered questions that remain decades later, and the lasting impact of a peace effort that ended in tragedy.

🎙 Around the Evio Network

Both Criminal Mischief and Taboo Treasures are dark this week.

But Josh Wolf continues showing up every weekday with his daily podcast journal:

Finding Me

Josh invites listeners into an honest exploration of self-discovery, vulnerability, and personal growth, sharing the small moments and realizations that shape the journey toward becoming a better version of ourselves.

🎬 This Week in Horror

Our horror pick this week is undertone (stylized in all lowercase), a 2025 Canadian horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason.

In a unique creative choice, only two characters appear on screen—while the rest of the story unfolds entirely through voices and recordings, making the film’s sound design the true source of its horror.

The Castle of the Damned: Part Two - The Modern Awakening Mar 13, 2026

🎧 The Devil WithinThe Castle of the Damned — Episode TwoThe Modern Awakening

Some discoveries are meant to remain buried.

After archaeologist Dr. Margaret Sinclair uncovered William de Soulis’s hidden chamber in 1987, her discovery electrified the academic world. The medieval texts and artifacts found beneath Hermitage Castle promised to revolutionize the study of occult practices in the Middle Ages.

But the researchers who began translating de Soulis’s journals soon encountered something deeply disturbing.

One by one, the scholars studying the manuscripts began to suffer strange and catastrophic fates.

A research partner died suddenly after filling pages with symbols identical to those found in the necromancer’s journals.
A linguist attempting to decode the texts suffered a complete psychological break.
And Dr. Sinclair herself began documenting communications with the same supernatural entity that had once spoken to William de Soulis centuries earlier.

The entity called itself The Teacher.

And it was offering her the same bargain.

In this episode we investigate:

• The mysterious deaths and breakdowns of researchers studying the de Soulis journals
• Dr. Sinclair’s growing obsession with supernatural experimentation
• The terrifying moment when academic curiosity turned into spiritual vulnerability
• The ritual Sinclair attempted to recreate William’s medieval pact
• The disturbing evidence that the entity behind the bargain never disappeared

When Dr. Sinclair was found dead in 1990, investigators discovered her apartment transformed into a ritual chamber—symbols carved into the walls and a lead-lined coffin built in the basement.

But Sinclair’s ritual wasn’t designed to trap something.

It was designed to release it.

Today, Hermitage Castle remains closed following reports of unexplained activity and visitors experiencing strange psychological disturbances.

And online communities continue to circulate fragments of the same journals that destroyed everyone who studied them.

Because some knowledge doesn’t simply inform.

It spreads.

Castle of the Damned: Part One - The Necromancer's Bargain Mar 11, 2026

The Devil WithinThe Castle of the Damned — Episode One: The Necromancer’s Bargain

Episode Overview

In 1987, an archaeological team investigating Hermitage Castle in the Scottish Borders made a discovery that would disturb historians, archaeologists, and paranormal investigators alike.

Hidden beneath the castle’s great hall was a sealed chamber, untouched for centuries.

Inside they found ritual symbols carved into the stone, shelves of forbidden texts, and a lead coffin covered in Latin inscriptions.

Something inside had been trying to claw its way out.

And according to medieval records… it once belonged to William de Soulis.

This episode investigates the dark legend of William de Soulis — a fourteenth-century nobleman whose obsession with forbidden knowledge transformed his castle into what historians now believe may have been a ritual laboratory for necromantic experiments.

We explore:

The strange library of occult texts inherited by the de Soulis family
William’s documented experiments attempting to communicate with supernatural entities
His alleged bargain with an entity known only as “The Teacher”
The gradual transformation of both the man and the castle itself
Reports of supernatural architecture within Hermitage Castle — rooms and corridors behaving impossibly
The violent events surrounding William’s death in 1320
The extraordinary measures taken by monks to seal his body in lead and stone

But the story does not end with his death.

Because when archaeologists reopened the hidden chamber in 1987…

the coffin was no longer sealed.

Themes in This Episode:

The dangers of knowledge pursued without wisdom
Medieval occult traditions hidden within historical records
The intersection of ambition, scholarship, and supernatural belief
Whether evil is invited… or discovered

The excavation of Hermitage Castle revealed far more than medieval artifacts.

It may have reawakened something.

And the people who studied the discovery would soon begin to pay a terrible price.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of March 9th Mar 10, 2026

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger

Week of March 9

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, the weekly dispatch from across the Evio Universe — where we catch you up on everything happening across the network and occasionally ask the kinds of questions that make you realize nobody is really in charge of anything.

For example…

Daylight Saving Time.

Really?

Still?

We’re still doing this?

Let’s do better, government.

This week on The Devil Within, we travel to Scotland and investigate one of the most ominous places in the entire United Kingdom: Hermitage Castle.

For centuries this fortress has been associated with demonic possession, violent hauntings, shadow figures, and enough verified paranormal encounters to make even experienced investigators take a step back and say, “You know what… maybe we’ll just admire this one from the parking lot.”

This is the castle that guards what historians call the bloodiest valley in Britain. And if the accounts are even half true, Hermitage Castle might be one of the most paranormally active places in Europe.

That’s this week on The Devil Within.

Meanwhile on The Ides of April, we conclude our series Son of the Blade.

For more than two thousand years historians have been arguing about the untimely death of Alexander the Great.

One of the greatest military commanders in human history conquers most of the known world by the age of thirty-two… and then suddenly dies...

Over on Criminal Mischief, we’re proud to re-release Episode One of The Shadow Girls.

For many listeners around the world, this was the podcast that first introduced journalist Carolyn Ossorio to a global audience.

There’s a reason we’re bringing this episode back — and that reason will be revealed during the episode itself.

So if you’ve never heard The Shadow Girls, or if you remember the impact it had when it first premiered, don’t miss this one.

Taboo Treasures is dark for the week — but the show will return soon with more strange, rare, and occasionally unsettling artifacts from history.

Meanwhile comedian Josh Wolf is — as they say — here all week.

His daily podcast and journal Finding Me continues to explore his personal journey of self-discovery, creativity, family life, comedy, and the strange process of figuring out who we are while we’re still in the middle of becoming it.

And finally, in horror this week we have a fascinating adaptation coming to streaming.

The Long Walk — based on Stephen King’s 1979 novel.

The premise is simple and terrifying.

In a dystopian version of the United States, fifty teenage boys are forced into a televised endurance competition. The rules are brutally straightforward.

Each walker must maintain a pace of three miles per hour.

If they slow down, they receive a warning.

Three warnings…

and soldiers execute them.

That’s The Long Walk, coming soon to streaming.

And that’s it for this week’s Devil’s Ledger.

Thanks for listening…

and we’ll see you this week across the Evio Universe.

EVIO Presents: Son of the Blade - Part Three Mar 10, 2026

🎧 The Ides of April Episode 3 — The Death of the Impossible Man In this episode, we follow the final months of Alexander the Great — from the long return from India to the glittering capital of Babylon, where the most powerful man in the world was already planning his next conquest. What begins as another banquet among generals soon turns into one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world: a sudden fever, a rapid decline, and the shocking death of a king who seemed almost impossible to kill. But Alexander’s death was only the beginning. With no clear heir and an empire stretching from Greece to India, the power he once held together begins to fracture. Generals maneuver, rumors spread, and suspicion quickly falls on those who stood to gain the most from his disappearance. Was this the natural end of a man exhausted by years of conquest… Or the quiet removal of a ruler who had become too powerful to survive? In This Episode • The brutal desert march that nearly destroyed Alexander’s army • The political tension between Macedonian veterans and rising Persian elites • The fever that struck after a banquet in Babylon • The final days of the most powerful man in the ancient world • Alexander’s famous last words: “To the strongest.” • The immediate struggle for control of the empire • The first whispers of poisoning and conspiracy Historical Hinge Moment When Alexander died in Babylon in 323 BCE, he left behind the largest empire the ancient world had ever seen — but no clear plan for who would rule it.

Prayers for the Damned - Part Two Mar 06, 2026

The Devil Within

Prayers for the Damned — Episode Two: The Exorcism That Broke the Church’s Silence

In August 1928, Father Theophilus Riesinger arrived at a secluded convent in Earling, Iowa.

He believed he was performing an exorcism.

Instead, he walked into a spiritual war that had been building for 105 years.

Episode Two documents the most detailed and widely reported exorcism in American history — a twenty-three-day ordeal that tested the limits of ritual, endurance, and belief.

This episode explores:

Anna Ecklund’s condition upon arrival at the convent

Reports of multiple entities speaking through her voice

Supernatural strength, levitation, and unknown languages

Psychological warfare against priests and nuns

The emotional and physical toll on everyone involved

A radical shift in strategy: instead of fighting the demons… allowing them to reveal themselves

As the entities expose their methods and motives, a disturbing possibility emerges:

Anna isn’t just possessed.

She’s a spiritual anchor — the center of a network of damage spread over decades.

The Turning Point

Father Riesinger abandons traditional exorcism.

Instead of resistance, he allows full manifestation — a dangerous gamble that ultimately reveals the limits of the forces inside her.

On December 23, 1928, at 3:17 PM, Anna speaks in her own voice for the first time in more than a century.

The voices are gone.

But the victory comes at a cost.

Themes in This Episode

The psychological toll of prolonged spiritual conflict

Institutional faith pushed to its breaking point

The idea that some possessions are transformations, not conditions

A haunting question:

If suffering defines a person, what remains when it’s removed?

Anna lived twelve more years after the exorcism — quiet, withdrawn, and described by witnesses as spiritually “translucent.”

Saved.

But never the same.

Call to Action

If this story challenged your understanding of faith, evil, and the human mind:

Because sometimes the real horror isn’t possession…

It’s the price of being set free.

Prayers for the Damned - Part One Mar 04, 2026

The Devil Within

Prayers for the Damned — Episode One: The Girl Who Wouldn’t Stay Saved

At 3:17 AM, the screaming stopped.

For twenty-three days, a convent in Earling, Iowa endured sounds that tested the limits of faith — inhuman voices, violent manifestations, and a woman whose suffering stretched back more than a century.

But the story of Anna Ecklund didn’t begin in America.

It began in a remote Austrian village… with a father’s betrayal.

Episode Overview

In Episode One, we follow the origins of what would become America’s most documented case of demonic possession.

This episode explores:

Emma Schmidt’s childhood in 19th-century Austria

The abuse and trauma that preceded her first possession in 1823

Early exorcism attempts by local priests

Strange phenomena: foreign languages, supernatural knowledge, violent reactions to sacred objects

The role of occult practices allegedly performed by her father and a local witch

The growing isolation of a family marked by fear, shame, and suspicion

The Church’s early failures — and the long shadow those failures would cast

As Emma becomes Anna Ecklund and emigrates to America, her symptoms disappear for years… until the darkness returns — stronger, more organized, and waiting.

Themes in This Episode

The intersection of trauma, faith, and possession

Generational sin and spiritual consequence

When religious intervention fails — and what that does to belief

How a single case can ripple through communities, clergy, and institutions

What Comes Next

By 1928, Anna is sixty-nine years old.

The Church prepares for one final attempt.

It will take twenty-three days.

And it will change how the Catholic Church understands possession forever.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of March 2nd Mar 02, 2026

The Devil’s Ledger

Week of March 2

Winter is doing what winter does — and depending on where you live, it’s doing a lot of it. If you’re under 35 and living in the Northeast, this may be the coldest winter of your life. In parts of the Southwest, it might be the warmest. Here in Los Angeles, it’s been suspiciously perfect. Sorry to our friends back East.

The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

Apparently, Bigfoot is alive and well… and wandering along power line clearings in the Upper Midwest. Multiple sightings, same week. Tall, broad, covered in dark hair, walking upright before disappearing into the tree line. Either it’s misidentification — or something out there really prefers utility access roads.

On The Devil Within

We begin a two-part series on the possession of Anna Ecklund, one of the most documented exorcism cases in American history — a story that may connect back more than a century and across an ocean.

On The Ides of April

Alexander reaches Egypt and starts naming everything after himself — cities, allies, probably his lunch — until his exhausted army finally refuses to follow him any farther toward India.

On Criminal Mischief

Carolyn covers the trial of Kouri Richins, the mother who wrote a children’s grief book after her husband’s death — and now stands accused of causing it.

On Taboo Treasures

The guys dig into the long history of executions — and how capital punishment has become one of the most politically charged debates of our time.

On Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Josh continues his daily pursuit of accountability, honesty, and becoming the best version of himself — one uncomfortable truth at a time.

This Week in Horror

The Bride! reimagines the Frankenstein story in 1930s Chicago, starring Christian Bale, Jesse Buckley, and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Follow The Devil’s Ledger for weekly updates from across the Evio universe — and share it with someone who likes their news with a darker edge.

Because sometimes the strangest stories aren’t legends.

They’re the ones happening right now.

Wings of Prophecy: Part Two - The Final Witnesses Feb 27, 2026

The Devil Within

Wings of Prophecy — Part Two: The Final Witnesses

At 5:04 PM on December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed into the Ohio River.

In less than a minute, forty-six lives were lost.

But in the days leading up to the disaster, the people of Point Pleasant believed they had been watching something — or something had been watching them.

In Part Two of Wings of Prophecy, we follow the Mothman legend to its devastating conclusion, tracing the final sightings, the growing sense of unease across the town, and the tragedy that forever linked folklore with one of America’s deadliest infrastructure failures.

Mothman 2

As winter closed in, witnesses reported that the sightings were changing. The creature that once appeared suddenly and vanished just as quickly now lingered in plain sight — perched, watching, almost as if standing vigil.

One of the final reported encounters came just days before the collapse.

By then, Point Pleasant had transformed. National attention brought curiosity seekers, investigators, and skeptics. Businesses leaned into the legend. Others resented the spectacle. Beneath it all, anxiety spread — strange dreams, unusual animal behavior, and a growing sense that something was wrong.

Then came the engineering reality.

Unseen inside the bridge’s structure, a microscopic crack in a critical steel component had been growing for months — invisible to inspections at the time. Each passing vehicle added stress. Each day brought the structure closer to failure.

On a December evening filled with Christmas shoppers, commuters, and families heading home, that hidden flaw reached its breaking point.

The collapse was sudden. Catastrophic. Irreversible.

In this episode:

• The final reported Mothman sightings before the disaster

• How Point Pleasant changed during thirteen months of national attention

• The structural failure that caused the Silver Bridge collapse

• Eyewitness accounts from the moments before and after the tragedy

• How folklore and trauma became permanently intertwined in the community

In the aftermath, the sightings stopped.

The creature was never reported again.

But the legend remained — not just as a monster story, but as a way for a grieving community to make sense of sudden, senseless loss.

Because sometimes the mystery isn’t whether something supernatural happened.

Sometimes the mystery is how people survive what did.

Wings of Prophecy: Part One - The Watchers in the Dark Feb 25, 2026

The Devil Within

Wings of Prophecy — Part One: The Watchers in the Dark

Something was watching Point Pleasant.

Before the headlines.

Before the legend.

Before the bridge fell.

In Part One of Wings of Prophecy, we begin a two-part investigation into one of the most chilling and enduring mysteries in American folklore — the wave of strange sightings that gripped a small West Virginia town in the thirteen months before tragedy struck.

The story begins on a quiet November night in 1967, when four young people driving near an abandoned TNT plant encountered something impossible: a towering, winged figure with glowing red eyes that appeared to follow their car at highway speeds.

What they reported would become the first of dozens of sightings.

And the beginning of something far bigger than a local ghost story.

As word spread, more witnesses came forward. A respected barber described strange lights — and the disappearance of his dog. Residents reported massive shapes flying over roads, perching on rooftops, and watching from the darkness beyond town.

Law enforcement took statements.

A journalist arrived.

The story spread.

And slowly, the community began to divide — believers and skeptics, fear and ridicule, curiosity and dread.

But beneath the growing legend was something deeper:

A town beginning to feel watched.

Studied.

Waited for.

In this episode:

• The first terrifying encounter near the TNT area

• Deputy Halstead’s investigation and the growing number of eyewitness reports

• The arrival of reporter Mary Hyre and the national attention that followed

• Strange animal behavior, unexplained lights, and escalating fear

• How the legend of the Mothman took hold inside a community under pressure

Because sometimes the most powerful monsters aren’t just what people see.

They’re what fear does to a town.

And while residents debated whether the creature was real… something else was happening in Point Pleasant.

Something no one could see.

A microscopic flaw inside the Silver Bridge — slowly growing, quietly weakening the structure that held the town together.

Thirteen months later, that bridge would collapse into the Ohio River in less than sixty seconds, killing 46 people.

And the question that still haunts the town remains:

Was the Mothman a warning…

Or was it simply waiting?

EVIO PRESENTS: Son of the Blade - Part One Feb 24, 2026

The Ides of April — Son of the Blade The world didn’t change slowly. It changed in a theater… during a celebration… with a single blade. In Episode One of The Ides of April, we begin the story of Alexander the Great at the moment everything became possible — and everything became dangerous. When Philip II of Macedon, the most powerful ruler in Greece, is assassinated in front of a crowd, the future of the Greek world hangs in the balance. His heir is just twenty years old. Young. Unproven. Surrounded by rivals. What happens next is not hesitation. It’s speed. It’s violence. And it’s the beginning of one of the most extraordinary rises in history. In this episode, we follow Alexander as he secures his throne, eliminates threats inside his own family, crushes rebellion in Greece, and sends a message that will echo across the ancient world: the son is more dangerous than the father. From the destruction of Thebes to the crossing into Asia, the campaign moves with breathtaking momentum. Along the way, Alexander begins shaping something as important as his army — his legend. Because from the very beginning, this was never just a war. It was a performance of destiny. By his mid-twenties, Alexander will defeat the Persian Empire, march into Egypt, and push his army toward India. His soldiers will begin to call him favored by the gods. And he will begin to believe it. But as the poet Pindar warned: Creatures of a day. What is a man? Glory burns bright. And it never burns forever. In this episode: • The assassination that changed the ancient world • The brutal consolidation of power inside Macedon • The destruction of Thebes — and the warning it sent to Greece • Alexander’s first victories against Persia • The moment a young king begins to step into myth Why this story matters Alexander’s rise wasn’t inevitable. It was built on speed, ruthlessness, and a dangerous pattern: Risk. Danger. Victory. Every gamble worked. And when the world starts rewarding every risk… The most dangerous thing a leader can believe is that he cannot fail. Coming next Victory begins to change Alexander — his court, his army, and his sense of who he really is. He will adopt the customs of kings treated like gods. He will demand loyalty that feels like worship. And before long, the distance between Alexander and the men who once called him companion will grow so wide… That one of them will die by his hand. 💼 SPONSORS Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of February 22nd. Feb 23, 2026

The Devil’s Ledger

Week of February 22

The flame is out. The mountains fall quiet.

This week on The Devil’s Ledger, we say farewell to the Winter Olympics — and to the Italian Alps, whose beauty, history, and lingering shadows reminded us that even the most breathtaking places tend to keep a few secrets.

But while the games end, the stories across the network are just getting started.

The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

Nature delivered the reminder.

In March of 1888, a storm known as The White Hurricane buried the Northeast under up to 50 inches of snow, with drifts rising to the height of buildings. Communication collapsed. Cities were cut off. More than 400 people died — many only steps from safety.

The storm didn’t just paralyze the region.

It changed it.

In response, New York began moving critical infrastructure underground — a decision that eventually led to the creation of the subway system.

Sometimes the scariest stories aren’t about monsters.

They’re about how quickly control disappears.

On The Devil Within

By listener request, we begin a two-part series on one of America’s most enduring and unsettling legends:

The Mothman

West Virginia. The 1960s.

Glowing red eyes. Massive wings. Dozens of witnesses.

And a chilling pattern — sightings that seem to appear before tragedy.

Folklore? Mass hysteria? Something unknown?

Or a warning.

On The Ides of April

A new historical arc begins:

Alexander the Great

A young king who conquered the known world before the age of thirty — and may have outrun the limits of power itself.

Empire. Ambition. Destiny.

And the question history always asks:

What happens when there’s nothing left to conquer?

On Taboo Treasures

The guys return with a sharp and satirical look at one of humanity’s stranger traditions:

The most dangerous jobs we’ve ever created.

From ancient hazards to modern risks, it’s a darkly funny exploration of the ways people have risked their lives… for a paycheck.

On Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio brings updates on several major cases currently dominating the news, including developments involving Nancy Guthrie, Brendan Banfield, and other ongoing investigations.

Because in true crime, the story rarely ends when the headlines move on.

On Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Josh continues his daily journey into the uncomfortable territory most of us try to avoid:

Accountability.

Honesty.

And the work of figuring out what actually needs attention.

Personal. Raw. Necessary.

This Week in Horror

For Gen X horror fans, this one feels personal.

The seventh installment of the Scream franchise arrives in theaters.

When a new Ghostface targets Sidney’s daughter, she’s forced to confront her past — and end the cycle of violence once and for all.

Some franchises fade.

Others grow up with us.

And somehow… Ghostface is still calling.

Closing Thought

As this episode releases, a major winter storm is moving toward the Northeast.

A reminder — like the storms of the past — that control is often temporary.

If you’re in its path:

Slow down.

Stay warm.

Check on each other.

We’re thinking of you.

Until next week…

Stay curious. Stay careful. And stay safe out there.

Frozen Evidence Feb 20, 2026

The Devil Within

Frozen Evidence: The Duncan MacPherson Case

In August of 1989, Duncan MacPherson — a former first-round NHL draft pick from Canada — stepped onto the Stubai Glacier in the Austrian Alps.

He rented a snowboard.

He rode the lifts.

And then he vanished.

His car remained in the resort parking lot. His belongings were untouched. Search teams scoured the glacier and surrounding terrain, assuming the kind of tragedy the mountains know too well — a fall, a crevasse, an accident swallowed by ice.

Nothing was found.

For fourteen years, the glacier kept its silence.

Then, in the summer of 2003, melting ice revealed human remains.

The mountain had given Duncan back.

But what emerged raised more questions than answers.

This episode of The Devil Within explores the unsettling details surrounding Duncan MacPherson’s disappearance and recovery, including:

• His final known movements at a managed glacier resort — not remote wilderness

• The condition of his recovered snowboard, which showed crushing damage that some analysts believe could be consistent with heavy machinery

• Injuries that did not clearly align with a simple fall

• Questions about nighttime snowcat operations on the glacier

• And the most troubling possibility: that elements of his rental equipment may have been returned through resort systems long before his body emerged

No definitive conclusion has ever been reached.

But the case raises a disturbing question:

What if Duncan’s tragedy began as an accident… and was complicated by human systems that chose silence over scrutiny?

Glaciers preserve what they take.

But time can erode records, memories, and accountability.

Fourteen years later, the ice returned a body.

The truth may still be buried.

The Devil in the Painting Feb 18, 2026

The Devil in the Painting

In the Alps, faith and fear have always lived close together.

In this episode of The Devil Within, we travel to a quiet sanctuary in northern Italy — a place where generations have climbed in search of healing, protection, and answers when suffering felt too heavy to carry alone.

In 1731, a woman from the surrounding region was brought to the hilltop church at Madonna di Pinè after her behavior began to change in ways her family could not understand. Sudden outbursts. Withdrawal. A voice that no longer sounded like her own. In a world without modern psychological language, her condition was understood the only way people knew how:

Something had taken hold of her.

What followed was a solemn ritual of exorcism — not spectacle, but prayer, command, and communal fear. Witnesses later described a moment during the rite when something dark and serpentine seemed to leave her body.

Whether miracle, misinterpretation, or a psychological turning point shaped by belief, the event left a permanent mark.

A small ex-voto painting inside the sanctuary still depicts the moment: a priest at prayer, a woman in distress, and a shadowed form emerging as if suffering itself had been given a shape.

But this episode goes beyond the question of what happened.

Because possession stories, across cultures and centuries, often reveal something deeper — a human need to separate pain from identity. To believe that darkness is something on us, not something we are. To see suffering as something that can be confronted… and expelled.

In the harsh Alpine world — where avalanches, illness, and long winters reminded communities how little they controlled — that kind of narrative wasn’t superstition.

It was survival.

As the Winter Olympics conclude and the crowds leave the mountains behind, this episode explores the older stories that still live there — stories of fear, faith, and the enduring hope that even the most invisible suffering can loosen its grip.

Because sometimes the most powerful miracle isn’t the disappearance of the unknown.

It’s the belief that healing is possible.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of February 16th. Feb 16, 2026

The Devil’s Ledger – Week of February 16

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger — your weekly guide to everything happening across the Evio Creative universe.

As we head into the second week of the Winter Games, we’re sending a big congratulations to all of our U.S. Olympians still competing — and if you suddenly find yourself understanding the strategy behind curling, you’re not alone.

This week’s edition begins, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week — a chilling look at the 1959 Dyatlov Pass Incident, where nine experienced hikers fled their tent barefoot into subzero temperatures after encountering what investigators later described only as a “compelling natural force.” Some believe the group may have encountered something else entirely — a mysterious humanoid figure long rumored in the region’s winter forests.

On The Devil Within

We travel to a remote stone sanctuary in northern Italy to examine a centuries-old Ex-Voto painting — a devotional image created to commemorate a miracle. The artwork depicts the exact moment an exorcism was believed to succeed, including an artist’s rendering of a dark, serpentine figure leaving a woman’s body. Faith, psychology, or something more?

On The Ides of April

We conclude our two-part series on the assassination of Philip of Macedon — a political killing that may have changed the course of human history. His death didn’t stop expansion. It removed the one man who might have restrained his son, unleashing Alexander the Great on the known world.

On Taboo Treasures

Bruce and Jef return with a fun and surprising deep dive into the strange origins and evolution of Valentine’s Day — from ancient rituals to modern traditions.

On Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio brings the latest updates in the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, breaking down new clues, updated timelines, and expert analysis from law enforcement professionals.

And every day…

You can check in with Josh Wolf on Finding Me with Josh Wolf — a daily podcast journal documenting his honest journey toward becoming the best version of himself.

This Week in Horror

Diabolic, a 2026 Australian supernatural horror film directed by Daniel J. Phillips, opened in limited theaters on February 13 and begins streaming February 20. The story follows a woman who returns to a restrictive religious community to address trauma-induced blackouts — only to encounter a vengeful witch with unfinished business.

When Winter Wears a Face Feb 13, 2026

🎙️ The Devil Within

When Winter Wears a Face

Winter can feel empty — silent landscapes, long nights, and the sense that the world has gone still.

But in the mountain villages of the Alps and northern Italy, winter was never seen as empty. It was seen as dangerous.

In this episode of The Devil Within, we explore three chilling winter traditions born from isolation, fear, and the psychological weight of the dark season.

🐐 The Schnabelgeiss — Switzerland

Masked figures known as the “beaked goats” storm through villages wearing grotesque costumes and ringing bells. The noise and spectacle aren’t for entertainment — they’re meant to drive away illness, misfortune, and the lingering spirits of winter.

🌊 The Anguane — Northern Italy

Beautiful but dangerous water spirits said to lure travelers off safe paths and toward icy streams and hidden drops. Their legend reflects a harsh truth: in winter, the mountains deceive, and one wrong step can be fatal.

🔥 Giubiana — Burning the Winter Witch

In Lombardy and Piedmont, communities build and burn a straw effigy representing hunger, illness, and hardship. The ritual marks a psychological turning point — the moment when people believe the worst of winter is finally behind them.

These traditions didn’t change the season.

But they gave fear a face — and when fear has a face, it can be chased, confronted, and burned away.

The Battle No One Sees Feb 11, 2026

⛪ The Devil Within — Episode 3: The Battle No One Sees

The Winter Olympics celebrate control — bodies trained to precision, minds sharpened to the edge of physics, every movement calculated against gravity and risk.

But in the shadow of those same Alpine peaks, another kind of battle has been unfolding for centuries. One without medals. Without spectators. Without a finish line.

This week, The Devil Within turns inward.

We travel to northern Italy, near the slopes and valleys that have long shaped both faith and folklore, to the Sanctuary of Monte Berico overlooking Vicenza. A place of prayer for generations — and, in recent years, the setting of a reported exorcism that left witnesses shaken and clergy emotionally drained.

This episode explores a case that moved quietly through layers of scrutiny before a formal rite was performed. Those close to the woman at the center of the story described personality changes, emotional volatility, and distress that resisted conventional treatment. What followed inside the stone walls of the sanctuary was not spectacle, but hours of prayer, repetition, exhaustion, and uncertainty.

We examine:

• How the modern Catholic Church approaches exorcism with caution and psychological screening

• Why Alpine communities often interpret suffering through both spiritual and folkloric lenses

• The emotional strain on those present during prolonged religious rites

• The thin, uneasy line between spiritual belief and mental health realities

• What possession stories may reveal about the fragility of identity and the human need for meaning in moments of internal chaos

Rather than focusing on dramatic portrayals, this episode sits with the quieter, more unsettling questions. What does it feel like when a person no longer feels at home in their own mind? Why do cultures across time describe that experience as something foreign taking hold? And how do faith, ritual, and psychology all attempt — in their own ways — to bring someone back to themselves?

In a region where the mountains constantly remind people that control is never absolute, it may not be surprising that some believe struggle can come from within just as easily as from storm or avalanche.

The Alps remain vast. The sanctuary remains still. And somewhere between belief and biology lies a story that resists easy answers.

EVIO Presents: The King from the Edge of Greece Feb 10, 2026

🎙️ The Ides of April — Two-Part Series

Philip of Macedon: The Father Behind the Empire

Before the legend of Alexander the Great, there was the man who made his rise possible.

In this two-part series of The Ides of April, we travel to the rugged northern kingdom of Macedonia to explore the life, ambition, and violent death of Philip II of Macedon — the ruler who transformed a dismissed frontier state into the dominant power of the Greek world.

Part One — The King from the Edge of Greece

Long before Macedonia commanded armies and alliances, it was considered backward by the great city-states of southern Greece.

This episode traces:

• The harsh frontier culture that shaped Philip’s early life

• His time as a political hostage in Thebes — where he studied the future of warfare

• The military revolution that created the Macedonian war machine

• The rise of Philip’s power across Greece

• The complex royal family dynamics that shaped succession

• The early signs of greatness in his young son — including the famous taming of Bucephalus

By the time Philip stands at the height of his power, Greece is unified under his leadership and a massive invasion of Persia is within reach.

But success has created enemies — both abroad and within his own court.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of February 9th Feb 09, 2026

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of February 9

Show Notes

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, your weekly guide to everything happening across the Evio Creative Network.

This week, we open with a show of support for Team USA as they compete on the world stage at the 2026 Winter Olympics — a reminder of what preparation, discipline, and pressure can produce at the highest level.

The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

The Storm That Buried Iran

In February 1972, a blizzard dropped as much as 26 feet of snow across parts of Iran — the deadliest winter storm in recorded history.

Entire villages disappeared. More than 4,000 people died. Rescue teams arrived to find a landscape flattened into silence — towns erased beneath smooth fields of snow.

Survivors later described shapes moving in the whiteout, voices outside buried homes, and dark figures appearing at the edges of the storm.

Science offers explanations — hypothermia, oxygen deprivation, sensory distortion.

But knowing the science doesn’t make it less terrifying.

Because when a storm buries entire communities and leaves nothing behind but silence… it begins to feel less like weather.

And more like something that came looking for the living.

On The Devil Within

This week’s episode takes us to the historic sanctuary at Monte Berico, where an alleged exorcism took place in 2010.

What makes this case especially unsettling isn’t folklore or legend — it’s the documentation. Witnesses. Church involvement. Medical oversight. And a sequence of events that remains difficult to explain.

Atmospheric, grounded, and deeply unsettling, this is a story that lives in the uneasy space between faith and the unknown.

On The Ides of April

We begin a two-part series on the assassination of Philip II of Macedon — and what may be one of history’s greatest strategic miscalculations.

The conspirators believed they were ending a growing threat to the Greek world.

Instead, they cleared the path for a twenty-year-old successor: Alexander the Great.

History has a word for that outcome.

Oops.

On Criminal Mischief

At the moment, Carolyn is reportedly celebrating somewhere in the Pacific Northwest after the Seattle Seahawksdelivered a decisive victory over the New England Patriots.

We expect normal programming to resume once the celebration — and possibly the parade — concludes.

Daily: Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Josh Wolf continues his daily check-ins, blending humor, vulnerability, and honest self-reflection that has quickly become part of listeners’ everyday routines.

Real. Relatable. And absolutely can’t miss.

This Week in Horror

In honor of its record-breaking awards recognition, this week’s pick is the vampire thriller Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan.

Now streaming on HBO Max, it delivers atmosphere, intensity, and enough supernatural dread to make your head spin.

The Thing That Screams From The Trees Feb 06, 2026

🐐 The Devil Within — The Legend of the Baladisc

High in the mountains, where the air thins and the world feels older than memory, some legends refuse to die.

This week on The Devil Within, we descend into one of the strangest and most unsettling alpine folktales you’ve probably never heard of: the Baladisc.

Described in scattered regional accounts as something not quite human and not quite animal, the Baladisc is said to haunt remote mountain passes and dense, shadowed forests. Witnesses across generations have claimed to see a dark, horned figure moving between the trees at dusk — too tall, too still, and far too aware of the people who stumble into its territory.

Some say it watches from ridgelines during snowstorms. Others claim it follows lone travelers just out of sight, its presence marked only by the feeling of being hunted… and the sudden silence of the forest around them.

In this episode, we explore:

• The earliest known references to the Baladisc in mountain folklore

• Reports from shepherds and woodcutters who believed they encountered it

• Why isolated alpine communities often describe similar horned or hybrid beings

• The psychological effects of high-altitude isolation and winter darkness

• Whether the Baladisc is a supernatural entity… or something born from fear, landscape, and survival

As always, the line between legend and lived experience is razor-thin. These stories come from people who knew the mountains well — people who understood storms, predators, and the dangers of the wild. And yet, what they described didn’t behave like any known animal.

The Baladisc may be folklore. It may be metaphor. Or it may be something older than either — a reminder that the wilderness has never belonged entirely to us.

Turn down the lights, listen closely, and decide for yourself what’s really moving between the trees.

The Thing That Watches From the Snowline Feb 04, 2026

The Devil Within
Tatzelwurm —The Thing That Watches From the Snowline

High above the tree line, where oxygen thins and old superstitions thicken, something has been slithering through European folklore for centuries.

This week on The Devil Within, we journey into the jagged spine of the Alps — a place of avalanches, isolation… and sightings of a creature that by all rights should not exist.

It has the body of a serpent.
The face of a cat.
The temper of something ancient and territorial.

They call it The Tatzelwurm.

🐍 Episode Overview

Long before modern mountaineering turned the Alps into a playground for climbers and skiers, shepherds and hunters told darker stories — of livestock found mutilated, of travelers collapsing after encounters with a “poison-breathing” beast, and of clawed tracks appearing in fresh snow where no animal should be.

In this episode, we explore:

The earliest documented Tatzelwurm sightings in the 18th and 19th centuries
Why so many encounters happen at high elevations near remote caves
Theories ranging from misidentified wildlife… to a surviving Ice Age predator
The strange pattern of witnesses becoming violently ill after close encounters
The unsettling consistency in descriptions across centuries and countries

Is the Tatzelwurm just folklore born from altitude sickness and fear?
Or is it one more example of something real hiding in the blind spots of modern science?

🏔️ Why This Story Still Matters

With global attention turning back to the Alps for the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics, millions will soon be watching — and traveling into — these very mountains.

But while cameras focus on ski slopes and stadiums, vast stretches of alpine wilderness remain untouched… and largely unexplored.

Legends don’t survive for centuries without a reason.
And in the Alps, the line between myth and memory has always been dangerously thin.

🧭 Themes in This Episode

Mountain isolation and the psychology of fear
Cryptids rooted in regional history, not modern invention
How folklore can preserve eyewitness accounts long before science catches up
The uneasy relationship between wilderness and human certainty

The Devil's Ledger Feb 02, 2026

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of February 2

A weekly dispatch from the shadows of history, mystery, and the unexplained across the Evio Creative Network.

Happy Groundhog’s Day 🐾❄️

Here’s hoping that furry little meteorologist gives us the forecast we want — winter loosening its grip and spring on the horizon. Until then, we’ve got plenty of chills to keep you company.

👻 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

This week’s nightmare comes from the frozen forests near Houska Castle — a place long rumored to be built over a gateway to hell.

Last year, we explored the infamous pit beneath the castle chapel. But what we didn’t realize then is that winter brings its own layer of terror. Local legends describe travelers vanishing in snowstorms after following a mysterious woman in white who walks effortlessly through deep snow… leaving no footprints.

One 19th-century woodcutter reportedly followed her into the forest, believing she was lost. When he finally saw her face, he described it as frozen and lifeless — like something long dead preserved in ice. He later died from exposure, and villagers insisted he wasn’t lost… he was lured.

Snow erases tracks. It swallows sound. And according to local folklore, winter around Houska Castle isn’t peaceful.

It’s hunting season.

🏔 On The Devil Within

We remain high in the Alps for two eerie legends of creatures said to stalk remote passes and dense forests. These are tales born from isolation, blizzards, and the unsettling feeling of being watched in a place where help is miles away.

The Alps are breathtaking. They are also ancient… and not everything up there may be accounted for.

🕯 On The Ides of April

We conclude our series on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. with a focus on James Earl Ray. His guilty plea was meant to bring closure, but instead it deepened suspicions and left lingering questions that still echo decades later.

A sobering, necessary close to one of the most painful moments in American history.

🪓 On Criminal Mischief

We travel back to 1893 in Fall River, where Andrew Borden and Abby Borden were brutally murdered with a hatchet. The arrest of Lizzie Borden shocked the nation and launched one of America’s most infamous trials.

More than 130 years later, the case remains officially unsolved. This week, an expert walks us through the investigation and courtroom drama that still fascinates true crime fans today.

🎤 Daily: Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Comedian Josh Wolf continues his daily check-ins — honest, funny reflections on growth, family, and becoming the best version of himself.

🎬 This Week in Horror

Grizzly Night

Based on real events from 1967, the film recounts two grizzly bear attacks that occurred nine miles apart in Glacier National Park — a chilling reminder that sometimes the scariest stories don’t need the supernatural.

Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, we hope warmer days are coming. Until then, dive into the mysteries, history, and horrors waiting for you across the Evio Creative Network 🎧

The Winter Olympics: The Track That Ate Him! Jan 30, 2026

The Track That Ate Him

Vancouver 2010 → Haunted Host Cities → Italy Adjacency

In 2010, the Winter Olympics arrived in Vancouver polished to a mirror shine — perfect lighting,

perfect branding, perfect spectacle.

And then, before the Opening Ceremony even began… the world watched a young man die.

Episode Two is where the story becomes modern horror: Vancouver 2010, Whistler Sliding

Centre, one luge run at nearly unthinkable speed — and one moment that turned Olympic

infrastructure into a permanent ghost.

But this episode isn’t only about what happened on camera.It’s about what happens to places after tragedy — how host cities become haunted, how tracks

become shrines, how mountains remember what humans try to forget. And finally, we widen the

lens toward Italy: the quieter, untelevised side of the Olympic dream — where ambition can still

end behind closed doors, long before the world is watching.

Because winter doesn’t care about the Olympics.

Winter only cares what it can take.

In this episode:

• Vancouver 2010: the day the Olympics lost its innocence in real time

• Why “fixes” made after tragedy carry a darker implication: if it could change after… why

not before?

• How modern media turns death into replay — and replay into haunting

• The hidden psychology of haunted host cities

• The unsettling adjacency truth: not all Olympic tragedies happen on television

Listener warning:

This episode contains discussions of accidental death during Olympic training and death-related

themes.

The Winter Olympics: Games of Ice Jan 28, 2026

The Games of Ice

Innsbruck 1964 → Albertville 1992

The Winter Olympics are marketed as triumph — humanity’s most elegant rebellion against cold,

gravity, and fear. But long before the medals… before the fireworks… before the world even

begins clapping — winter is already collecting its price.

In Episode One of this two-part Devil Within series, we descend into the hidden history of

Olympic tragedy — starting with Innsbruck, 1964, where two athletes died before the Opening

Ceremony even began, and moving forward to Albertville, 1992, where modernity itself

became the killer: a collision not with a mountain… but with the machinery designed to tame it.

This episode isn’t about gore. It isn’t even about blame.

It’s about the human condition — what happens when ambition meets physics, when spectacle

meets reality, and when a celebration quietly becomes a grave.

Because the devil within isn’t always evil.Sometimes… it’s certainty.

In this episode:

• Why winter sports are the purest form of “beautiful danger”

• Innsbruck 1964: the Games begin in tragedy before they begin in ceremony

• How grief gets packaged, polished, and pushed aside so the machine can keep moving

• Albertville 1992: the terrifying moment the Olympics becomes a system — and systems

fail

• The quiet truth Olympic branding never says out loud: winter is not scenery

Listener warning:

This episode contains discussions of accidental death during Olympic training and preparation.

The Ides of April Presents: April's Shadow - The Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Jan 27, 2026

April's Shadow :

“The Balcony in Memphis”

In Episode One of this two-part Ides of April event series, we step into Memphis, 1968—not as a footnote in civil rights history, but as a pressure cooker where the fight for equality evolves into something even more threatening to power: economic justice.

Martin Luther King Jr. comes to Memphis to support the sanitation workers’ strike, sparked by the horrific deaths of Echol Cole and Robert Walker, and fueled by a single, uncompromising demand—human dignity—carried through the streets on signs that read: I AM A MAN.

As King’s mission expands from civil rights leader into a broader advocate for labor and class justice, the atmosphere darkens and the stakes intensify. Memphis becomes a mirror reflecting America’s deepest fear: that justice may require redistribution—not just of rights, but of power.

The episode moves into the prophetic gravity of King’s final night. At Mason Temple, he delivers the iconic “Mountaintop” speech—part sermon, part warning—before returning to the Lorraine Motel. The next day, a moment of ordinary life becomes a national rupture: 6:01 PM on the balcony outside Room 306.

And in the hour after his death, America ignites—grief spilling into unrest and reckoning—while the machinery of investigation begins turning, hunting for a suspect as the country struggles to make meaning out of the impossible.

In this episode

• Why Memphis became the inevitable battleground in 1968

• The sanitation strike, labor, and the radical power of I AM A MAN

• King’s evolution into a leader focused on class justice

• The “Mountaintop” speech and the calm before catastrophe

• The assassination, the aftermath, and the beginning of the manhunt

The Devil's Ledger - Week of January 26th Jan 26, 2026

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER

Week of January 26 — Blizzard Stories, History’s Turning Points, and Hard Truths

This week on The Devil’s Ledger, winter takes center stage — both outside our windows and inside the stories we’re telling.

We open by acknowledging the massive snowstorm that’s crippled much of the country, especially the Northeast, and how winter has a way of shrinking the world and amplifying the dark.

❄️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week comes straight out of a blizzard — a terrifying story that proves when visibility drops and isolation rises, the line between survival and disappearance gets dangerously thin.

🏔️ Over on The Devil Within, in honor of the upcoming Winter Olympics, we launch a two-part series exploring the darker side of the Winter Games — the training deaths, the tragedies tied to host cities, and the sobering truth that winter doesn’t care about spectacle, branding, or medals.

🕊️ On The Ides of April, we begin the long-awaited two-part series covering the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Originally planned for release during the national holiday, the episode was delayed after the flu took out Branden’s voice — but the story arrives with the weight and respect it deserves. This series examines the official narrative and the way one moment in Memphis reshaped a nation.

⚖️ Criminal Mischief brings a major update to Episode 103 — the “Bizarre Love Triangle” Virginia Au Pair case. The trial of Brendan Banfield is underway, and explosive testimony from a former lover is offering a chilling new perspective on the double homicide.

🎙️ On Finding Me with Josh Wolf, Josh takes a deeply personal turn, confronting his five biggest insecurities — one per day, publicly and honestly. It’s still funny (because it’s Josh), but it’s also hitting deeper as he works to become the best version of himself.

🎬 This Week in Horror features a new entry from master filmmaker Sam Raimi. Send Help blends action, suspense, and horror into a tense story about power, reversal, and how extreme situations can expose who we really are — especially in the workplace.

Closing Thought

Winter reminds us how little control we truly have. Storms erase roads, silence cities, and force us to sit with what’s real. Maybe that’s why these stories land harder this time of year — because when the world goes quiet, we hear everything else more clearly.

The Monster That Wasn't! The Flatwoods Monster, Part Two Jan 23, 2026

The Flatwoods Monster (Part Two): The Monster That Wasn’t

When daylight arrives… the legend doesn’t disappear. It gets stranger.

Morning light insists on clarity. It wants the world restored to order. It wants last night’s fear to look small, even silly, in the daylight.

But in Flatwoods, morning didn’t repair the night.

It amplified it.

In Part Two, we walk back up that hill — this time with investigators, law enforcement, soldiers, reporters, and skeptics — all determined to quiet the story and restore calm.

Flatwoods Monster

And what they find is not a clean debunking… but a more unsettling truth: sometimes the scariest part of the story isn’t a monster in the woods.

It’s the human mind trying to survive uncertainty.

This episode dives deep into the official investigation, the physical symptoms, the strange odor, the meteor explanation… and the chilling possibility that what the witnesses saw was something both ordinary and terrifying — an illusion forged by fog, fear, adrenaline… and biology.

In this episode:

• The next-day investigation: what authorities did (and didn’t) find

• Why witnesses reported nausea, dizziness, and burning throats

• The “meteor” explanation — and why it didn’t erase the fear

• The barn owl theory: how an animal can become a nightmare under the right conditions

• The deeper horror: not lying… but misinterpretation that grows teeth

Content note:

This episode includes discussion of fear psychology, misperception, physical illness symptoms, and investigative theories.

It Fell From The Sky! The Flatwoods Monster, Part One Jan 21, 2026

The Flatwoods Monster (Part One)

A meteor. A hill. A flashlight beam… and something that should not have been there.

There are nights when darkness behaves — predictable, familiar, almost gentle. And then there are nights when it feels purposeful. A night that seems aware of the people beneath it… and hungry to test the limits of what they believe is possible.

On September 12, 1952, in Braxton County, West Virginia, witnesses reported a blazing light streaking across the sky — red, incandescent, like a wound in the heavens. What followed became one of the most enduring creature legends in American folklore: The Flatwoods Monster.

Flatwoods Monster

In Part One, we return to the very beginning — the original eyewitness account, the climb up the hill, the metallic air, the fog, and the moment a group of locals became absolutely certain they were standing in the presence of something not from Earth.

Flatwoods Monster

But this isn’t really a story about aliens.

It’s a story about people — about what the mind does when the world refuses to explain itself, and how fear can transform shadows into certainty.

In this episode:

• The meteor-like streak that sparked a legend

• The group who climbed the hill searching for answers

• The reported metallic odor, strange air, and mounting unease

• The first description of the “monster”: towering shape, glowing eyes, hissing breath

• The “Devil Within” theme: how perception becomes destiny

Content note:

This episode includes descriptions of panic reactions, illness symptoms, and fear responses.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of January 19th Jan 19, 2026

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER — Week of January 19th, 2026

Winter dread. Strange lights. Real monsters. And the fog rolling back in.

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger — the weekly dispatch from the edge of the week… where the stories don’t end so much as they linger. And in the heart of winter, when everything goes quiet, the quiet starts to feel like it’s thinking.

This week’s episode takes us from haunted Massachusetts stonework to middle America’s strangest alleged UFO encounter — plus a brutal true crime deep dive, a new show format from Josh Wolf, and a return to one of horror’s most iconic nightmares.

THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK

The Hoosac Tunnel “Wailing Wind” Deaths (1850s–1860s)

In the Berkshires, the Hoosac Tunnel was supposed to be progress — but winter construction turned it into a nightmare. During a brutal stretch, dozens of workers died underground. Survivors later described hearing screams carried on the wind, and even stranger: lantern lights moving deep within sealed shafts where no one could possibly be. A mass grave with train tracks… still echoing its debt.

ON THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Flatwoods Monster

We’re back in middle America for one of the most infamous alleged UFO encounters in U.S. folklore. In 1952, a fiery streak crosses the sky over Braxton County, West Virginia. A group climbs a hill searching for a crash… and claims to encounter something towering, hissing, metallic, and absolutely not human. But as the story spreads, the real question becomes the Devil Within question: what happens when fear and perception collide in the dark — and certainty becomes legend?

ON THE IDES OF APRIL

The Ides of April has the week off — but returns next week with a brand-new two-part series.

ON CRIMINAL MISCHIEF

This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn covers the kidnapping, torture, and murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena Salazar, carried out at the behest of the Guadalajara Cartel in the mid-1980s. What cartel leaders didn’t expect was a years-long response that became one of the DEA’s largest murder investigations ever — a relentless hunt stretching across borders and decades. Carolyn interviews a retired DEA agent who witnessed the “war on drugs” up close for more than 30 years.

ON FINDING ME WITH JOSH WOLF

Josh introduces a new format: Theme Weeks. Every Monday a theme is announced — and every episode that week focuses on it. This week’s theme is HEALTH, and Josh kicks it off with the first installment of a terrifying (and often darkly funny) health journey he and his wife endured after battling an almost invisible enemy: mold — in their home and their bodies. The lesson that lands hardest: the mirror is NOT your doctor.

THIS WEEK IN HORROR

The fog rolls back in with Return to Silent Hill — the third installment in the franchise. James receives a mysterious letter that leads him back to Silent Hill, hoping to find the woman he loves… only to discover the town reshaped by something malevolent, filled with terrifying figures that force him to question reality itself.

The Wrong Road - Part Two: The Trailer Jan 16, 2026

THE DEVIL WITHIN — The Wrong Road (Part Two)

Months after the Mercury Montego was discovered abandoned in the snow, searchers find something deeper in the forest:

A U.S. Forest Service trailer.

Inside is everything that could have saved them—bunks, blankets, matches, propane… and enough food to keep multiple men alive for weeks.

And in the back room—wrapped carefully in sheets—are the remains of Ted Weiher.

He didn’t die quickly. He likely survived for weeks.

The horror of this story isn’t supernatural. It isn’t even mysterious.

It’s unbearably human.

Part Two examines the theories, the folklore, and why people need this to be a conspiracy—because the truth is harder to accept: that confusion, fear, and rigid obedience to “rules” can trap a person even when salvation is right in front of them.

This is not a whodunit.

It’s a warning.

The Wrong Road... Why Didn't They Turn Around?! Jan 14, 2026

THE DEVIL WITHIN — The Wrong Road (Part One)

Five young men leave a college basketball game on February 24, 1978—excited for the Special Olympics tournament waiting the next morning. They should have been home within hours.

Instead, they drive into the Sierra Nevada foothills… and the road begins to climb.

In Part One, we follow the Yuba County Five—Gary Mathias, Bill Sterling, Ted Weiher, Jack Huett, and Jack Madruga—as the night quietly turns hostile. A familiar drive becomes unfamiliar territory. A dependable car becomes a stranded shelter. And the most unsettling part isn’t what happened to them…

…it’s what they did next.

The Mercury Montego wasn’t wrecked. It wasn’t empty. It could have kept them alive.

But they abandoned it—walking uphill into the darkness, away from help, into a forest that swallowed logic and sound.

This isn’t the story of a killer hiding in the trees.

It’s a story about panic, cold, and how winter can turn the human mind against itself.

Part Two is coming next—deep in the forest, where the real questions begin.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of January 12th Jan 12, 2026

The Devil’s Ledger — January 12, 2026

The Dead Time of WinterWelcome back to The Devil’s Ledger — and to the cold dead heart of winter. For the next six

weeks, the world slows down, the nights stretch longer, and the quiet gets louder. Stay alert, stay

calm… and stay inside.

This week, on The Devil Within, we launch a two-part series on one of the most haunting

disappearances in American true crime: The Yuba County Five. Five young men leave a

basketball game in 1978 and take the wrong road into the mountains. Their car is found

abandoned — functional, not wrecked, and capable of sheltering them — but they left it behind

and walked uphill into the snow. No killer. No chase. Just winter, fear, and the terrible power of

confusion.

On The Ides of April, we conclude The Quiet Death of an Empire with Part Two of the

assassination of Tsar Nicholas II, and examine the enduring controversy that Anastasia may

have survived the bloodbath.

This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn delivers an update on the so-called Torso Killer case

from New York and New Jersey in the 1970s — including a new jailhouse confession and an

exclusive interview with Dr. Peter Vronsky, the author and expert who literally wrote the book

on the Golden Age of serial killers.

The boys from Taboo Treasures are still on winter break, but they’ll be back soon.

In This Week in Horror, we recommend We Bury the Dead — a chilling zombie film where a

military mistake sparks catastrophe… and the cover-up doesn’t go as planned.

And don’t miss our new daily show on the network: Finding Me with Josh Wolf — honest,

hilarious, and quickly becoming a must-listen.

Things That Go BUMP in the Night - Part Two Jan 09, 2026

⭐️ EPISODE 2 SHOW NOTES

The Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblins, Part Two: What We Brought Into the Dark

Daylight was supposed to explain everything.

Instead, the sheriff found shattered glass, bullet-scarred walls, shaken witnesses — and almost no evidence that anything had ever been there.

As investigators, skeptics, neighbors, and UFO hunters descended on the Sutton farm, a new explanation crept into the story: meteor trails… unusual bird behavior… and the unsettling truth about how fear spreads through a room like wildfire.

In Part Two, we walk the property again — slowly, carefully — and ask the question no one really wants to face:

What if the attack came not from the sky…

…but from inside the human mind?

Because if the monsters weren’t real — then something far more disturbing was.

Stay through the closing thought.

This one lingers.

Things That Go BUMP in the Night - Part One Jan 07, 2026

The Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblins, Part One: The Things at the Window

On a sweltering Kentucky night in 1955, a family on a rural farm claimed they were surrounded by small, shining “beings” that moved through the yard, climbed onto the roof, and pressed their faces against the windows.

They fired round after round into the dark.

And nothing — and no one — fell.

This isn’t really a story about “goblins.”

It’s about fear, perception, and the split second when reality stops behaving the way we expect it to.

In Part One, we step inside that farmhouse and live the night as they did: the lights in the sky, the barking dogs, the guns, and the single moment that turned unease into terror — the face at the window.

Because sometimes, the real monster isn’t outside the house.

It’s what the human mind creates when darkness refuses to explain itself.

Listen to the end — the cliffhanger will pull you straight into Part Two.

And remember:

The dark doesn’t have to be empty…

for it to be terrifying.

THE IDES OF APRIL PRESENTS: The Quiet Death of an Empire Jan 06, 2026

THE IDES OF APRIL

Episode One: The End of the Romanovs — Power, Abdication, and Inevitability

In this first episode, we trace how the fall of the Romanov dynasty began long before gunfire echoed in a basement. From battlefield catastrophe to political collapse, this is the story of how abdication ended authority—but not danger.

CHAPTERS

Chapter One — The Abdication

The Russian Empire collapses under the weight of war, famine, and failed leadership. Nicholas II abdicates the throne in 1917, believing surrendering power will save his family and stabilize the nation. Instead, it seals his fate.

Chapter Two — Five Children and a Dynasty

Behind the crown stood a family: five children, a sickly heir, and a court defined by secrecy and ritual. Fabergé Easter eggs become symbols of continuity, illusion, and imperial fragility as the Romanovs slip from rulers to prisoners.

Chapter Three — Why the Bolsheviks Could Not Let Him Live

As civil war erupts, the Bolsheviks confront a brutal reality: Nicholas no longer rules—but he still represents. Alive, he remains a rallying point, a bargaining chip, and a threat. The decision is not vengeance—it is preemption.

Abdication ends power.

It does not end meaning.

And revolutions cannot tolerate symbols that still breathe.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of January 5th. Jan 06, 2026

The Devil’s Ledger — January 5, 2026

Happy New Year — and welcome back. We’re kicking off 2026 with a chilling slate across the Evio universe.

We start with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week — a winter nightmare from Japan about the Yuki-onna, the mysterious “snow woman” who appears during blizzards… and quietly breathes the warmth out of anyone who helps her.

Then, on The Devil Within, we open a two-part investigation into the 1955 Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter — the farmhouse siege that helped shape modern alien mythology.

Over on The Ides of April, we begin our deep dive into the fall of Tsar Nicholas II and the brutal end of the Romanov dynasty. History turns fast — and it doesn’t look back.

The guys from Taboo Treasures are still shaking off the holidays — they’ll be back next week with something wild.

This week on Criminal Mischief, we examine the disappearance of Anna Walshe — a mother of three whose New Year’s Day “work emergency” unraveled into something far darker. A true can’t-miss.

And in This Week in Horror, we’re talking PRIMATE — the pet-turned-predator creature feature that feels like CUJO’s unhinged cousin.

🚨 New Show Drop — TODAY

Our brand-new series FINDING ME with Josh Wolf officially launches today. Honest, vulnerable, funny, and deeply human — this is one you’ll want in your feed from episode one.

Follow, rate, review, and share — and we’ll see you across the Evio universe.

She Left the House... And Never Came Back: The Disappearance of Patricia Viola Jan 02, 2026

On a quiet winter afternoon in Bogota, New Jersey, Patricia “Patty” Viola stepped out of her home and vanished.

No forced entry.

No sign of struggle.

Nothing left behind but silence — until years later, when the river returned part of her story.

This isn’t a case about villains lurking in the shadows.

It’s about the invisible weight people carry, the questions that haunt families, and the quiet breaking points we almost never see coming.

Sometimes, the devil within isn’t outside the door.

It’s inside us.

In this episode, we revisit Patricia’s final known moments, the search that stretched on for years, the discovery that reopened old wounds, and the deeper truth hiding beneath the surface — grief, mental health, and the human need for answers that may never fully arrive.

This is not sensational.

It’s human — and that may be the hardest part.

The Woodchipper and the New Year Dec 31, 2025

The Devil Within

The Woodchipper and the New Year: The Murder of Helle Crafts

In the final days of 1986, while the world was preparing resolutions and fresh starts, one woman quietly vanished from her Connecticut home — and her disappearance would force American justice to confront an impossible question:

Can you prove a murder when there is no body?

This episode follows the chilling, meticulously documented case of Helle Crafts — a Danish flight attendant, mother of three, and woman who clearly saw danger coming… and tried to warn the people around her.

What investigators would eventually uncover — a missing freezer, strange purchases, the shoreline of a frozen lake, and fragments almost too small to comprehend — changed forensic history, legal precedent, and the way investigators think about “no-body” homicides forever.

HELLE CRAFTS

This isn’t a story about spectacle.

It’s a story about erasure — and the relentless people who refused to let that erasure hold.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of December 29th. Dec 29, 2025

The Devil’s Ledger — Year’s End Episode

Standing at the doorway between what was… and whatever comes next.

We close out the year with a New Year’s wish, a reflection on winter, and a few stories that feel colder the longer you sit with them.

🧊 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

The Michigan Dogman — Winter Screams

In the deep Michigan winter, the snow stays, the forests go silent — and sometimes, the stories return. A family’s holiday trip turns unsettling when something steps into the edge of the porch light and reminds them that winter may not belong to us after all.

👿 The Devil Within

Two cases tied to the season — separated by a decade — and forever changed by loss.

• Helle Crafts — the case so shocking that prosecutors argued murder without a body, reshaping how courts understand circumstantial evidence.

• Patricia Viola — a disappearance that left only silence, lingering questions, and a mystery that never quite settled.

One story defined by devastating certainty.

The other — by what we still don’t know.

🗡 The Ides of April

A quick visit into myth, murder, and the artifacts we insist on believing.

We explore the legend of the Rasputin dagger — whether it ever existed… and why some objects take on more power in our imaginations than they ever had in reality. Full episodes return next week.

🏺 Taboo Treasures

Still on hiatus. The vault remains locked — for now.

🤠 Criminal Mischief

Part of our Best of 2025 — Carolyn revisits Billy the Kid: the real person behind the myth, and why we still romanticize the chaos he left behind.

🐍 This Week in Horror

Take a breather from the terrifying, and lean into something gloriously absurd:

ANACONDA — a monster movie, a giant snake, Paul Rudd, Jack Black… and the cinematic equivalent of popcorn you didn’t need, but absolutely ate anyway.

As we close the book on the year — stay safe, stay warm, and remember: whatever is standing outside your door is not invited in.

The Devil Within: Christmas Special - Part Two Dec 26, 2025

THE DEVIL WITHIN — CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Episode Two: Merry Christmas, You’re Barely Holding It Together

Christmas movies aren’t comforting because they’re gentle.

They’re comforting because they tell the truth—quietly, sideways, and usually with jokes.

🎄 CHAPTERS & THEMES

Chapter One — National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

Clark Griswold isn’t chasing joy—he’s chasing proof.

This chapter explores financial insecurity, masculine identity, estranged family dynamics, and why a Christmas comedy casually escalates into corporate kidnapping, a SWAT raid, and what amounts to accidental domestic terrorism. Beneath the slapstick is a portrait of the American father under siege, holding everything together until he can’t.

Chapter Two — Home Alone

A childhood fantasy built on abandonment.

We look at how Home Alone feeds into fears children rarely get to articulate: being forgotten, being bullied, being left to survive on their own. Beneath the laughs are violent home invasions, unreliable adults, and the terrifying premise that busy working parents can forget one of their children—and not realize it until it’s almost too late.

Chapter Three — Die Hard

Yes. It’s a Christmas movie. Case closed.

This chapter puts the debate to rest and examines Die Hard as a story about estrangement, marriage, career versus identity, corporate espionage, terrorism, and reunion under existential threat. We also confront uncomfortable moments the movie doesn’t hide—including the use of deportation threats as leverage—and why Christmas is the only frame that makes reconciliation possible.

Bonus Chapter — Love Actually

A holiday classic made of red flags.

A rapid-fire breakdown of why Love Actually sends several terrible messages at once: workplace affairs, emotional coercion, infidelity, shame for choosing family over romance, power imbalances, fat jokes, and the normalization of harmful behavior—all wrapped in music, mistletoe, and sentimentality.

The Devil Within: Christmas Special! Dec 24, 2025

🎄 THE DEVIL WITHIN — CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

EPISODE 1 — “THE CHRISTMAS NIGHTMARES”

Chapters 1–3

This holiday season, we unwrap something darker than tinsel — the films from our childhood that should never have been shown to children.

These weren’t cozy specials. They were cinematic trauma disguised in red bows and VHS plastic.

In Part One of our Christmas special, we descend into the uncanny valley of 1980s holiday movies and their psychologically disturbing plotlines, the ones that slipped into our living rooms and shaped our nightmares.

🎬 CHAPTERS

Chapter 1 — “When Christmas Movies Wanted to Hurt Us”

We revisit the VHS aisles of the 80s — where “family movies” secretly harbored dead Santas, abandoned kids, demonic puppets, and trauma disguised as jolly cheer. A cultural excavation of how innocence collided with horror in the most festive decade.

Chapter 2 — “The Gremlins Monologue”

Perhaps the most disturbing speech ever delivered in a PG Christmas film: Phoebe Cates’ haunted reveal of her father’s death in the chimney while playing Santa. The silence it produced in theaters — and why it still hits us like grief disguised as comedy.

Chapter 3 — “Silent Nights and Slasher Clauses”

From Silent Night, Deadly Night to Christmas Evil, we unpack Santa-suited killers, vigilante elves, and the thin line between folklore reverence and full-tilt cinematic violence.

The Ides of April: A Christmas Assassination Dec 23, 2025

THE IDES OF APRIL

A Christmas Assassination: The Death of Rasputin

Christmas 1916.

Russia is starving. The First World War is grinding the empire into dust. Faith, monarchy, and legitimacy are collapsing in real time.

And inside a candlelit palace, a small group of aristocrats convinces itself that killing one man might still save the nation.

In this stand-alone holiday episode of The Ides of April, we examine the assassination of Grigori Rasputin—a murder born of fear, myth, and desperation, carried out just days before Christmas, and destined to change nothing.

🎄 IN THIS EPISODE

Cold Open — “They Killed Him Once”

A story that refuses to end quietly. Poison. Bullets. Ice. And the unsettling question of why Rasputin’s death had to be so absolute.

Chapter One — Russia in December: War, Winter, and the Need for a Devil

World War I has hollowed out the Russian Empire. Soldiers freeze at the front. Cities starve. The Tsar is absent. And Rasputin—mystic, peasant, outsider—becomes the human symbol of everything the ruling class can no longer control. Christmas approaches as faith collides with collapse.

Chapter Two — The Night at the Moika Palace

Inside a palace dressed for the holidays, a plan unravels. Poison fails. Gunshots follow. Panic replaces precision. Rasputin’s murder becomes legend not because it was supernatural—but because it was chaotic, amateur, and fueled by fear rather than certainty.

Chapter Three — The Assassination That Saved NothingRasputin’s death does not stabilize Russia. It accelerates its collapse. This chapter examines why political assassinations so often fail to deliver the futures they promise—and how killing a symbol can reveal the moment an empire stops believing in itself.

❄ CLOSING THOUGHT

The murder of Rasputin was not an act of strength.

It was an admission of panic.

Violence did not save imperial Russia.

It only revealed how desperate its guardians had become.

🎁 HOLIDAY GREETING

As the year closes and the season asks us to reflect on endings and beginnings, we wish you peace, safety, and perspective.

History rarely offers clean endings.

Be gentle with yourselves—and with each other.

🔮 NEXT WEEK ON THE IDES OF APRIL

Another assassination.

Another belief that history could be redirected by a single act of violence.

It couldn’t.

The Devil's Ledger: Week of December 22nd Dec 23, 2025

📖 The Devil’s Ledger — Week of December 22

Christmas Shadows, Haunted Lodges, and the Things We Can’t Leave Behind

This week on The Devil’s Ledger, the books close out the year the only way they know how — by leaning into the darker side of the holidays.

We begin with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: a chilling account of the Whistler Ski Lodge Poltergeist, where staff and guests alike report unexplained footsteps, moving objects, and the unsettling feeling that the lodge is never truly empty. Set against the long winters and deep history of Whistler, it’s a reminder that beautiful places can still hold something restless.

From there, we move across the Evio Creative slate for a holiday-themed tour of fear, reflection, and reckoning.

🎄 This Week on The Devil Within

It’s the Christmas Special, where we step away from cults and crime scenes to explore the Christmas movies that scared us, unsettled us, or left us with an existential dread about what the holidays really mean. From ghostly visitations to stories of isolation, regret, and time running out, we unpack why so many holiday films feel more like reckonings than celebrations.

📖 This Week on Criminal Mischief

Carolyn Ossorio takes a rare break from murder and mystery to read The Velveteen Rabbit, the classic Christmas story about love, loss, and becoming real. There are no suspects this week — just a quiet, moving reminder that being loved often means being changed forever.

🩸 This Week on The Ides of April

Christmas turns deadly as The Ides of April revisits one of history’s most infamous holiday murders: the assassination of Grigori Rasputin. Poisoned, shot, beaten, and drowned, Rasputin’s death reads like myth — but its consequences were very real, accelerating the collapse of an empire already on borrowed time.

🗝️ This Week on Taboo Treasures

The boys are taking the week off to enjoy the holidays, but they’ll be back in the New Year with more strange objects, dangerous histories, and cursed curiosities.

🎬 What’s New in Horror

28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle, returns to a world long past the initial panic of apocalypse. Rather than chaos, the film explores endurance — and asks whether survival without hope is really survival at all. Bleak, mature, and occasionally haunting, it’s less about thrills and more about what remains when the world simply refuses to end.

Blood on the Bluegrass

Part One (Chapters 1–3)

Episode Title:

Blood on the Bluegrass — Part One

We begin the story of Rod Ferrell and the so-called Vampire Clan by exploring the myth he built,

the vulnerable teenagers he pulled into it, and the road trip that carried them from fantasy into

imminent tragedy.

CHAPTERS

Chapter One — “The Vampire of Murray, Kentucky”

A lonely teenager crafts an identity powerful enough to mask his wounds and attract followers

who see him as something larger than life.

Chapter Two — “The Lost and the Searching”

Rod gathers a circle of fragile, impressionable teens who mistake his certainty for purpose and

mistake his mythology for truth.

Chapter Three — “Crossing the Threshold”

The clan leaves Kentucky for Florida on what they believe is a rescue mission, unaware that they

are driving toward irrevocable violence.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of Dec. 15th. Dec 15, 2025

The Devil’s Ledger — Week of December 15

Welcome back—and happy holidays.

It’s that special time of year filled with forced cheer, soft lighting, and quietly wondering whether leftovers have crossed from festive into forensic. Whether you’re decking halls, dodging relatives, or just surviving December, we’re glad you’re here.

This week’s Ledger is packed with folklore, fanaticism, lost idealism, and a reminder that some remakes exist solely to make us feel ancient.

🔥 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

In Icelandic folklore, a ritual known as nábrók—or necropants—promised endless wealth at an unimaginable cost. Crafted from the skin of a dead man and worn directly against the flesh, the necropants blurred the boundary between survival and damnation. It’s a story where greed literally wears the dead, and prosperity requires intimacy with decay.

Fair warning: once you hear it, you won’t forget it.

🩸 This Week on The Devil Within

We begin a brand-new two-part series, Blood on the Blue Grass, examining the disturbing case of Rod Ferrell, the so-called Kentucky Vampire. This is not a gothic fantasy—it’s a chilling exploration of teenage alienation, unchecked belief, and how confidence and charisma can become lethal forces when pointed in the wrong direction.

🕯️ On The Ides of April

We conclude our series on the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy with Part Two of The Death of the New America. From the Ambassador Hotel pantry to the gunshots that silenced a movement, this episode explores not just how Bobby Kennedy died—but what died with him. A nation’s momentum. A generation’s hope. A future that never arrived.

🧠 Criminal Mischief

Life mirrors fiction on this week's CM...we delve into the horrifying details of a real life Fatal Attraction and the deveststingly cruel consequences of obsession, jealousy and rage...

🗝️ Taboo Treasures

Content TBD. Even the devil needs a week to sharpen his pitchfork.

🎬 This Week in Horror

It’s officially “I’m super old” week with a remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle—a psychological thriller I remember being filmed right here in Los Angeles what feels like a century ago. A nanny who never should’ve been let into the house, and proof that the scariest monsters often arrive smiling.

As we close out the episode, warm Hanukkah wishes to those celebrating, and holiday greetings to everyone navigating this strange, sparkly, emotionally complicated season.

Lock your doors. Trust cautiously.

If something feels off—you’re probably right.

Sleep well. Or don’t.

We’ll see you next week. 🎄🕯️👁️

The Mantis Man - Part Two Dec 12, 2025

🌙EPISODE 2

🕸 “The Mantis Man of the Musconetcong — Part Two: The River Keeps Its Secrets”

In Part Two, we zoom out from my childhood river to the global phenomenon hiding behind the

Mantis Man legend. Ancient mantis gods. Insectoid aliens. Evolutionary fears wired straight into our DNA. Biological impossibilities. Folklore that refuses to die.

Then we return home — to the Musconetcong, to Jefferson, to the quiet bridge where something tall and translucent allegedly stepped out of the water and vanished into the trees.

📚 Chapters

4. 🪳 The Insect Gods

5. 🧠 Why Bugs Terrify Us

6. 🌫 The River Keeps Its Secrets

A final reflection on childhood landscapes, memory, fear, and why certain places cling to the monsters we project onto them.

The Mantis Man - Part One Dec 10, 2025

🔥EPISODE 1

🕷 “The Mantis Man of the Musconetcong — Part One: The

Thing in the River”

This week, we head back to Jefferson Township — back to the lake, the spillway, and the

narrow stretch of river where I spent my entire childhood swimming, boating, fishing… and

apparently missing a seven-foot translucent praying mantis humanoid lurking just

downstream.

While I was buried in Tommy Sullivan and chasing the Jersey Devil through the Pines, a

monster was hiding in plain sight — right where I grew up.

In Part One, we break down the origin story of Mantis Man, the eerie local legend born from a

handful of eyewitnesses who swear they saw something tall, thin, silent, and very unhuman

standing in the Musconetcong River.

📚 Chapters

1. 🌊 Where the Water Comes From

2. 🎣 The Fisherman Who Didn’t Expect Company

3. 🚗 The Driver on the Bridge

A hometown haunting. A river full of secrets. And a cryptid I cannot believe I never heard about

until adulthood.

The Ides of April Presents: The Death of the New America - The Assassination of Robert Kennedy Dec 09, 2025

🕊The Death of the New America - Part One

“THE RISE OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY”

In the first installment of this two-part series, The Ides of April traces the origins of the Kennedy

dynasty—its ruthless ambition, its early tragedies, and the extraordinary forces that shaped

Robert F. Kennedy into the most unlikely moral voice of the 1960s.

We begin with the unvarnished story of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and the empire he built through

Hollywood maneuvering, shrewd investments, insider access, and political calculation. From

there, we follow the family’s early ascent into American power—and their first devastating fall

with the death of Joseph Kennedy Jr. in WWII.

We then explore the partnership between Jack and Bobby, forged in crisis and defined by the

Cuban Missile standoff, internal political strife, and the enormous emotional cost of holding up a

crumbling world order. RFK’s transformation—from loyal strategist to grieving brother to

emerging moral leader—sets the stage for his unprecedented rise in 1968.

📚 CHAPTERS

1. The House of Kennedy: Power, Fortune, and Tragedy

2. The Brothers and the Burden: From Cuba to Dallas

3. Bobby for President: A Nation Fractured, A Hope Rising

✨ WHAT TO EXPECT

• A cinematic retelling of the Kennedy dynasty

• RFK’s deep involvement in the Cuban Missile Crisis

• The emotional aftermath of JFK’s assassination

• The explosive political climate of 1968

• RFK’s evolution into the frontrunning voice of a divided nation

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER: Week of December 8th Dec 08, 2025

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER

Week of December 8th

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger — and happy holidays! This week we’re unwrapping a lineup that’s equal parts chilling, mysterious, and deeply fascinating.

🕯 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week:

The Frozen Man of Colorado — the urban legend about the man supposedly found frozen solid who later thawed out and woke up. We explore how this story took root, why communities clung to it, and what it says about our enduring fear — and hope — that death isn’t always final.

👁 On The Devil Within:

The Mantis Man — a bizarre New Jersey cryptid seen along the Musconetcong River… practically in Branden’s own childhood backyard. Tall, insectoid, translucent, silently watching… this one is almost too close to home.

📜 On The Ides of April:

We launch a brand-new two-part historical series, The Death of the New America, examining the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy — his rise, his moral transformation, and how his sudden death altered the political soul of the nation.

🔪 On Criminal Mischief:

It’s part two of our collaboration with Portland’s acclaimed true-crime podcast Murder in the Rain. They continue their coverage of serial predator Warren Forrest, featuring an emotionally

gripping interview with our own Carolyn Ossorio, who chronicled the story in Stolen Voices of

Dole Valley.

💎 On Taboo Treasures:

We’re keeping this week’s feature a surprise — but trust us, you don’t want to miss it.

🎄 This Week in Horror Cinema:

Silent Night, Deadly Night — December 12, 2025 (Theatrical Release)

A savage reimagining of the 1984 slasher cult classic. Childhood trauma, Santa-suited

vengeance, and a holiday bloodbath for a new generation of horror fans.

🔥 CLOSING THOUGHT

The holidays are a time for comfort and light — but they’re also full of shadows, old stories, and

things that won’t stay buried. Whether it’s a frozen man waking up, a cryptid lurking in a river,

or the echoes of a fallen leader shaping our politics — this season reminds us: the past is never

really gone.

The Dover Demon - Part Two Dec 05, 2025

🕯️ THE DEVIL WITHIN: The Dover Demon — Part Two: The Thing That Left No Footprints Chapters 4–6 In Part One, the Demon walked. In Part Two, we discover why. From Abby Brabham’s chilling encounter on the bridge to the full investigative breakdown by Loren Coleman, Part Two explores the theories, the folklore, and the eerie geographic pattern the creature traced across Dover. Then — as suddenly as it appeared — the Demon vanished, leaving behind no tracks, no traces, no second act. A cryptid that doesn’t return is often more terrifying than one that does. 📌 CHAPTERS 4.

The Dover Demon - Part One Dec 03, 2025

🕯️ THE DEVIL WITHIN: The Dover Demon — Part One: The Line Through the Woods Chapters 1–3 On the night of April 21st, 1977, three teenagers in Dover, Massachusetts witnessed something the town never wanted to explain — a pale, hairless, spindle-limbed creature with glowing eyes that traced a perfect, impossible line through the woods. In this first installment, we reconstruct the Demon’s eerie 25-hour migration using eyewitness accounts, contemporaneous reporting, and the poetic dread of Frost and Dickinson. What emerges is not a prank, not mass hysteria, but a pattern — a corridor the creature walked with unsettling purpose. 📌 CHAPTERS 1. The Mask of Gloom 2. Zero at the Bone 3.

The Devil's Ledger: Week of December 1st, 2025 Dec 01, 2025

🕯️ THE DEVIL’S LEDGER — WEEK OF DECEMBER 1st Welcome to the first week of December — the season of lights, peppermint fog, and ghosts who breathe colder than the weather. Here’s everything happening this week across the Evio Creative universe. ❄️ THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK The Phantom Skier of Donner Pass Donner Pass has earned its reputation — a place where tragedy seeped so deeply into the snowpack that the mountains still feel aware of every passing traveler. Locals whisper about a figure seen only during the worst winter storms: the Phantom Skier, gliding through blizzards with impossible precision. 🔥 THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN A new two-part series begins: The Dover Demon — the true 1977 Massachusetts cryptid encounter that terrified New England. A pale, smooth-skinned creature with an oversized head and glowing eyes crossing a perfect, impossible line through the woods. Part 1 drops Wednesday. Part 2 drops Friday. And the deeper we look… the stranger the trail becomes. 🕵️‍♂️ THIS WEEK ON THE IDES OF APRIL The conclusion of The Scholar and the Madman: The Assassination of President James Garfield. A tragic perfect storm of medical arrogance, ignored symptoms, political negligence, and one of the most preventable presidential deaths in U.S. history. Essential, maddening, unforgettable. 🔎 THIS WEEK ON CRIMINAL MISCHIEF A special collaboration episode with Murder in the Rain. Carolyn Ossorio joins forces with our Portland partners for a look at Stolen Voices of Dole Valley, including new developments in the Warren Forrest case — ahead of next week’s major event in Vancouver, Washington. If you’re in the Pacific Northwest, now’s the time to mark your calendar. 💎 THIS WEEK ON TABOO TREASURES Taking a short break this week — but we’re re-airing one of the most viral episodes ever: “If Barbie Could Talk.” If you missed it the first time, prepare yourself. If you didn’t… you already know why this one broke the internet. 🎥 THIS WEEK IN HORROR Welcome to Derry (HBO) A gorgeously shot, deeply unsettling expansion of Stephen King’s IT mythology. Perfect December viewing — depending on your feelings about clowns hiding behind sewer grates. 🕯️ Whether you're decking halls, avoiding extended family, or quietly acknowledging the ghosts that follow you from November into December — stay safe, stay warm, and stay curious. 📣 • IG: @thedevilwithinpod • @eviocreative • @idesofaprilpod • Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your shows • Leave a rating & review — it truly helps • Share this episode with someone who loves true crime, dark history, or the paranormal 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.

Highways of the Damned: The Thomas Creech Story - Part Two Nov 28, 2025

🔥 THE DEVIL WITHIN Highways of the Damned: The Thomas Creech Story - Part Two “The Monster That Wouldn’t Die” (Ch. 4–6) 💀 A Killer Behind Bars. A Legend That Refused to Stay There. In Part Two, we step into the bowels of the Idaho State Penitentiary — where Creech’s mythology mutated, metastasized, and eventually made him one of the most enduring symbols of the Satanic Panic. Inside prison walls, Creech became quieter. More controlled. More dangerous. He drew symbols. Whispered warnings. Let rumors grow like mold. And then — without ritual, without symbols — he committed the murder that finally sent him to death row. In this episode: • 🧿 Chapter Four — The Devil Behind the Walls Creech’s transformation into a mythic figure among inmates. The charcoal drawings. The alleged altar. The whispers. The staging of Satanic mystique inside a cellblock. • ⚔️ Chapter Five — The Demon on Death Row The rumors, the interviews, the press cycles that rebranded him as a supernatural figure — despite every official report showing the opposite. How Creech fed the myth even as his world shrank to concrete and steel. • 🩸 Chapter Six — The Monster That Wouldn’t Die Four decades of appeals. The slow-motion procedural labyrinth that kept Creech alive. The myth that outgrew him. And the unsettling truth of his survival: darkness became his identity… and his leash. Again, all narrative material is drawn directly from the Creech master document: TDW_Creech 🌘 Thomas Creech remains on death row — alive, unchanged, unsettling. Not a demon. Not a disciple. A man who built a myth so successfully that the world chose the story over the truth. 👁️ Next week on The Devil Within: A disappearance that defies explanation… a crime scene that rewrote itself… and a killer who may have stepped out of folklore. A cold one. A strange one. Keep the lights on. 📼 Follow The Devil Within wherever you listen. Rate, review, and share with someone who loves the strange, the terrifying, and the stories that stay with you long after the credits roll. Visit eviocreative.com for network updates.

Highways of the Damned: The Thomas Creech Story - Part One Nov 26, 2025

🔥 THE DEVIL WITHIN Highways of the Damned: The Thomas Creech Story - Part One (Ch. 1–3) 💀 A Satanic Serial Killer? Or a Drifter Who Learned to Weaponize a Myth? In Part One of our two-episode descent into the life of Thomas Eugene Creech, we begin where all American monsters begin: childhood. A boy shaped by emotional neglect, religious fear, and a hunger for significance that would eventually turn lethal. From there, we follow Creech as he drifts across the American West — a hitchhiker who watched, studied, and eventually hunted. As the body count rises, so does something far more dangerous: the mythology Creech carefully planted around himself. “Brotherhoods.” “Circles.” “Offerings.” He used the language of the occult the way other killers use weapons. In this episode: • 👁️ Chapter One — The Boy Who Walked With Shadows Creech’s cold, eerie childhood; his early obsession with occult paperbacks; disturbing behavioral reports; and the first whispers of the “voice” he claimed guided him. • 🛣️ Chapter Two — The Highway Rituals How Creech became invisible on the road… then predatory. Early murders, the first confirmed kills, and the moment reporters branded him a “Satanic wanderer.” • 🕯️ Chapter Three — The Devil in the Interrogation Room Creech performs for detectives, spinning stories about rituals, desert initiations, and a faceless brotherhood. The moment he transforms — in the public imagination — from drifter to occult monster. Each chapter draws from police memos, confession transcripts, contemporary newspaper reporting, and state-level documentation from the 1970s. Full text sourced from the uploaded Creech series document: TDW_Creech 🌘 A drifter in custody. A confession wrapped in symbols. A community terrified by a story stranger than the evidence could support. And the sense — unmistakable — that Creech was just getting started. 👁️ Next time on The Devil Within: We step inside the Idaho prison system — and into the years when Creech’s myth metastasized. A prison murder. A death-row sentence.

The Scholar and the Madman: The Assassination of President James Garfield - Part One Nov 25, 2025

PART ONE The Assassination of President James A. Garfield (Part One) The Scholar and the Madman — Chapters 1–3 In Part One of our two-episode event, we enter the final summer of the 19th century and watch the American Republic stand on the edge of transformation. President James Abram Garfield, a reluctant leader with a brilliant mind, rises from obscurity to the highest office in the nation. But as he steps into a presidency full of promise, another man —Charles Julius Guiteau, failed preacher, failed lawyer, failed everything—begins interpreting his own delusions as divine instruction. This episode explores: • Garfield’s improbable rise from canal boat laborer to scholar, general, and president • The vicious fracture inside the Republican Party between the Stalwarts and Half-Breeds • The spoils system that corrupted Washington and set the stage for tragedy • Guiteau’s descent into delusion, religious mania, and political obsession • The 36-ballot convention meltdown that accidentally created a president • Whitman and Longfellow’s poems that echo the spiritual tension of the era • The slow collision of two men whose fates were already entwined Part One ends on the morning of July 2nd, 1881 inside the Baltimore & Potomac Station—where history will soon change direction in an instant. ➡ Part Two continues with the seventy-nine-day national vigil, the medical disaster, and thetrial of the assassin who believed God had chosen him.

The Devil's Ledger - November 24th, 2025 Nov 24, 2025

🔥 THE DEVIL’S LEDGER — WEEK OF NOVEMBER 24th

🦃 Thanksgiving Edition

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger.

A warm Thanksgiving greeting to everyone cooking, traveling, hiding from family, or listening alone in a dark kitchen somewhere — which, for our listeners, feels about right.

Grab a drink. Settle in. Things get weird this week.

👁️ THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK

🩸 The Thanksgiving Attic Squatter (2017 — FACT)

Straight out of York County, Pennsylvania — a family prepping for Thanksgiving discovers food missing, an unlocked window, and… footsteps.

Not outside.

Not downstairs.

But in the attic.

Police found:

• A makeshift bed

• Food wrappers

• A journal logging the family’s day-to-day movements

And one line that still chills:

“Thanksgiving will be the best time. They’ll all be downstairs.”

The intruder vanished.

No prints.

No tracks.

No identity.

Sourced from the case file you provided:

Ledger Nov. 24th

🛰️ THIS WEEK ACROSS THE EVIO UNIVERSE

💀 THE DEVIL WITHIN

Thomas Creech: The Satanic Serial Killer

This week, we descend into the life of alleged Satanic killer Thomas Creech — from a loveless, isolated childhood… to a nomadic trail of bodies across the American West… to the fluorescent-lit hell of the Idaho prison system, where he became both a monster and a myth.

A full two-part saga of fear, folklore, and the man who learned to weaponize darkness.

📜 THE IDES OF APRIL

The Scholar and the Madman: The Assassination of President James Garfield

An intellectual President.

A delusional wanderer who believed destiny owed him power.

A country still healing from the Civil War.

This week’s episode explores the collision of two lives — and how it changed American government forever.

🕵️‍♀️ CRIMINAL MISCHIEF

Ripped From the Headlines: The Karen Read Lawsuit

After two blockbuster trials, Karen Read was found not guilty in the death of Off. John O’Keefe. Now she’s filed a 46-page lawsuit alleging:

• A coordinated cover-up

• Mishandled evidence

• A conspiracy among local officials

Carolyn breaks it down line by line — a masterclass in investigative storytelling.

🧪 TABOO TREASURES

Visionaries or Inventors?

Bruce and Jeff dive into the minds of history’s most chaotic geniuses:

• Graham Bell vs. Edison

• Leonardo da Vinci’s fever-dream notebooks

• Jobs vs. Woz — prophet vs. engineer

• Hedy Lamarr — Hollywood icon turned Wi-Fi pioneer

• Musk — self-invited to every innovation discussion

• And Nikola Tesla — the king of electric madness

Plus: the legendary Tesla Death Ray, the government seizure of his private research, and the infamous missing files that conspiracy theorists still insist are sitting in a locked federal warehouse.

🎥 THIS WEEK IN HORROR MOVIES

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2

More animatronics.

More lore.

More “I’m never going to a themed pizza place again” energy.

Perfect if you need a post-dinner escape from your family.

🌘 OUTRO

Wherever this holiday finds you — traveling, eating, hiding — stay safe, stay curious, and keep one eye on the shadows at the edge of the holiday lights.

The Girl in the Red Coat - Part Two Nov 21, 2025

🩸 THE DEVIL WITHIN

THE GIRL IN THE RED COAT

EPISODE TWO: Where the Woods Keep Their Secrets

(Chapters 4–6)In Episode Two, we descend deeper into Glastenbury’s shadow—where folklore tightens into

pattern, where disappearances begin to echo one another, and where Paula’s story becomes part

of something older than any hiker who has ever stepped onto that mountain.

Across three haunting chapters, we explore:

CHAPTER 4 — Patterns in the Dark

The chilling sequence of vanishings that predate and follow Paula: seasoned woodsman Middie

Rivers, veteran James Tedford, eight-year-old Paul Jepson, and hiker Frieda Langer. Five

disappearances. Five years. All circling the same mountain. A shape emerges… and with it, the

birth of the “Bennington Triangle.”

CHAPTER 5 — The Hunger Beneath the Pines

Sightings. Lights. Voices in the fog. The hush—total, unnatural silence that swallows the world

whole. Shadow figures pacing hikers. A girl in a red coat seen gliding across unbroken snow. The

deeper people look, the more the mountain seems to look back.

CHAPTER 6 — The Last Light on the Trail

The legend grows. A mountain with memory. A trail that shifts like a living organism. A red coat

glimpsed between trees at dusk. And the haunting possibility that Paula—like so many before

and after her—did not fall victim to accident, but to a presence older, colder, and infinitely

patient.

The Girl in the Red Coat - Part One Nov 19, 2025

🩸 THE DEVIL WITHIN

THE GIRL IN THE RED COAT

EPISODE ONE: Into the Silent Woods

(Chapters 1–3)

In Episode One, we step into the cold, haunted shadow of Glastenbury Mountain—home to the

legend of the Bennington Triangle and the mysterious, enduring disappearance of Paula Jean

Welden, an 18-year-old Bennington College sophomore who walked onto the Long Trail one

November afternoon in 1946… and was never seen again.

Across three cinematic chapters, we explore:

CHAPTER 1 — The Mountain That Remembers

The strange history of Glastenbury Mountain, a place the Abenaki once warned was alive… a

place where sound dies, compasses falter, and the forest seems to lean in and listen. Here we

meet Paula: quiet, restless, radiant in her bright red parka—stepping onto the trail with no idea

she is walking into a legend.

CHAPTER 2 — The Search That Found Nothing

The frantic multi-day search that drew hundreds into the freezing woods with lanterns, dogs, and

fading hope. No footprints. No torn cloth. No trace. Even the red coat refused to be found.

Searchers spoke of “silent pockets,” strange warmth in the air, radios that lagged by a heartbeat,

and the creeping sense they were being watched by something old and patient.

CHAPTER 3 — The Forest That Eats People

Paula’s story is only one thread in a pattern of disappearances stretching across five years: a

woodsman, a veteran, a child, a hiker. Five vanished. One mountain. Zero answers. As folklore

and fact twist together, Glastenbury begins to look less like wilderness… and more like a

presence that chooses who gets to walk back out.

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER — Week of November 17th Nov 17, 2025

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER — Week of November 17th Featuring: The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week — “The Empty Place Setting” Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, your weekly tour through everything happening across the Evio Creative Network. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we begin—as always—with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week. This time, we’re telling a story pulled straight from Midwestern legend: The Empty Place Setting — a Thanksgiving tradition kept alive by a family haunted by loss, ritual, and three slow knocks that return every year without fail. From there, we travel across the Evio network for a packed week of new episodes, deep dives, historical reckonings, and true-crime investigations. 🎙️ THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK “The Empty Place Setting” A family in suburban Ohio sets an extra place at the Thanksgiving table every year — not for a late guest, but for a son who vanished thirty years ago. And every Thanksgiving night, when the house has gone still, someone knocks three times on their back door. Always three. Always slow. Always at the exact hour he disappeared. Footprints in the frost. Empty doorsteps. A ritual no one dares to break. This week’s Ledger opens with the tradition the Dawsons have kept alive — and the mystery that refuses to die. 🔥 THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN The Thanksgiving Disappearance of Paula Jean Welden This Thanksgiving, The Devil Within heads into the fog-shrouded woods of the Bennington Triangle—the most notorious missing-persons cluster in New England history. We examine: • Paula Jean Welden’s final walk into the mountains • Conflicting eyewitness accounts • The massive search effort that reshaped Vermont policing • The unsettling pattern of disappearances that followed • Why so many believe Glastenbury Mountain is cursed A holiday mystery that became a legend—and a legend that refuses logical explanation. 🕯️ THIS WEEK ON THE IDES OF APRIL The Dagger & The Crown: The Assassination of Francisco Pizarro — Conclusion The final installment of our two-part historical miniseries arrives this week as we follow Francisco Pizarro into the last days of his life. Inside this cinematic finale. History ends not with thunder, but with footsteps—and these footsteps lead directly to his chamber door. ⚰️ THIS WEEK ON TABOO TREASURES The Most Dangerous Jobs in the World Bruce and Jeff dive into the stories of workers whose jobs were so perilous they bordered on self-destruction. A grim, jaw-dropping look at the human cost of corporate negligence—and the bravery of the people who fought back. 🔎 THIS WEEK ON CRIMINAL MISCHIEF The Vanishing: The Unsolved Murder of Lindsey Baum Carolyn Ossorio revisits one of the most heartbreaking disappearances in the Pacific Northwest: the Lindsey Baum case. Carolyn is hoping renewed attention can help move the case forward. 👉 If you have any information related to this case, email: ⁠info@eviocreative.com⁠ 🛒 SPONSOR SHOUT-OUTS Supporting our sponsors helps support all Evio Creative productions: Quince — luxury without the markup 👉 ⁠quince.com/DEVILWITHIN for free shipping & 365-day returns Mint Mobile — premium wireless for $15/month 👉 ⁠mintmobile.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ ExpressVPN — privacy everywhere 👉 ⁠expressvpn.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ for up to 4 months free MOOD — legal THC & CBD shipped nationwide 👉 ⁠mood.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ for 20% off Ollie — fresh, human-grade dog food 👉 ⁠ollie.com/IDES⁠ for 60% off Monarch — the modern personal finance hub 👉 ⁠monarch.com/IDES⁠ for 50% off your first year If you enjoy these worlds of true crime, dark history, paranormal legend, and cinematic storytelling, help us grow: • Follow, rate, and review The Devil’s Ledger • Visit ⁠eviocreative.com⁠ • Follow us on Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod • @eviocreative • @idesofaprilpod • @taboo_treasures Your support keeps the stories alive.

The Hollywood Ending:The Matthew Tinling Case - Part Two Nov 14, 2025

🎧 THE DEVIL WITHIN: The Matthew Tinling Case — Part Two

Chapters 4–6: The Trial of a Horror Fan · The Violence Doesn’t End Here · The Devil in the Mirror

🔥 Description:

After his arrest, Matthew Tinling faced the Old Bailey — calm, smiling, and proud.

The prosecution called him “a man who mistook fiction for faith.”

The jury called him guilty.

And yet, inside the walls of HMP Belmarsh, the violence didn’t end.

From his obsession with Jigsaw’s “rules” to a string of brutal attacks on fellow inmates, Tinling kept the game alive long after the cameras stopped rolling.

But what if he wasn’t just a monster?

What if he was a mirror — reflecting our own hunger for punishment disguised as justice?

In this concluding episode, we follow Tinling from the courtroom to the cellblock, and finally into the cultural darkness that made him possible.

The Hollywood Ending: The Matthew Tinling Case - Part One Nov 12, 2025

🎧 THE DEVIL WITHIN: The Matthew Tinling Case — Part One

Chapters 1–3: The Film in His Head · The Game Begins · Lessons in Fire and Blood

💀 Description:

In the spring of 2012, two men shared a small flat in a Maida Vale housing complex meant for people starting over.

One of them — Richard Hamilton — was trying to rebuild after years of addiction.

The other — Matthew Tinling — was watching Saw VI on repeat.

When an argument over £240 in rent spiraled into obsession, Tinling turned the movie’s grotesque morality into real life.

He stabbed Hamilton 17 times, tried to sever his spinal cord to recreate a trap from the film, and set the body on fire to “cleanse the scene.”

Then he calmly withdrew money with Hamilton’s bank card… and bought crack.

In this first episode, follow investigators as they untangle a killing staged like a screenplay — and meet the man who believed he was Jigsaw’s student.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of Nov. 10th. Nov 10, 2025

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger – Week of November 10th

👻 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Plymouth Ghost Light

Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts has always been a blend of myth and memory — pilgrims, parades, and history lessons. But when night falls and fog rolls off Cape Cod Bay, a different tradition stirs.

Witnesses report blue lanterns gliding through the mist each Thanksgiving night, moving silently from the harbor toward Burial Hill — the resting place of the earliest settlers. No footsteps. No voices. Just light drifting across stone and sea.

First reported in 1983, and traced to 19th-century candlelit memorial walks for those who died the first winter, the phenomenon continues — always midnight to one. And the night Harold Baxter passed away, one of the ghostly lights flickered and vanished mid-procession.

History says remembrance.

Folklore says pilgrimage.

Witnesses say they saw the dead go home.

And tonight, they walk with us.

The Sean Sellers Story - Part Two Nov 07, 2025

🜏 THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Sean Sellers Story — Part Two

Chapters IV–VI: A Killer Reborn? Or a Script Well-Read?

A prison cell can become a tomb—or a pulpit.

In Part Two, we return to Sellers not as the eyeliner-clad teen who chanted to shadows, but as

the soft-voiced inmate who prayed to Christ and mailed cassette-sermons across America. Sean

Sellers reinvented himself. He claimed salvation. And in doing so, forced a country to ask

whether redemption has limits—or if we only pretend to believe in change until the incarcerated

actually change.

Advocates saw a conversion story. Critics saw a performance. Psychologists saw untreated

trauma. The state saw only the law.

We follow his prison years, his religious awakening, the movement to spare his life, and the

midnight hour in February 1999 when Oklahoma drew the curtain and pushed the chemicals. The

only juvenile killer executed in modern American history — and the case that helped end

juvenile death sentences forever.

Did Sean Sellers find grace? Escape responsibility? Fool the world?

Or did we witness something even harder to accept:

A monster made at sixteen, a man made by solitude, and a soul no court could truly sentence?

📜 Chapters

• Chapter IV — The Confession Tapes

A demon becomes a preacher; redemption meets skepticism.

• Chapter V — The Executioner's Prayer

A quiet last meal, a scripture-laden farewell, and a death chamber lit in fluorescent truth.

• Chapter VI — A Shadow Over Innocence

Legacy, law, and the ghost of a boy standing between morality and policy.

The Sean Sellers Story - Part One Nov 05, 2025

🜏 THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Sean Sellers Story — Part One

Chapters I–III: The Boy Who Called Himself Ezurate

Before the headlines, before the courtroom sermons, before the televised tears, there was only a

boy—born in California, raised across the plains of Oklahoma, and restless inside a world too

small to hold the storm gathering in his head.

In Part One, we walk into the dark heart of the 1980s, when Satanic Panic crackled across

America like static, and fear of the occult seeped into living rooms as fast as MTV and

microwave dinners. But this wasn’t a case of suburban hysteria clashing with teenage rebellion.

This was a child who drifted—from fascination, to obsession, to ritual, and finally into violence.

We follow Sean Sellers from lonely adolescence to Black Mass role-play that stopped being play.

His journals filled with sigils, his world narrowed to demonology and control, until fantasy

crossed the threshold into murder. A convenience-store clerk shot without a word. Parents killed

as they slept. A teenager insisting he was possessed. A justice system unprepared for a killer still

in high school.

This is the first half of a tragedy where belief—real or claimed—becomes blood.

🔪 Chapters

• Chapter I — The Making of a Killer

A childhood marked by drift, a mind marked by fracture, and a boy who began speaking

the language of the occult.

• Chapter II — A Pact in Blood

The murders that shook Oklahoma — and a confession that blurred the line between

belief and convenience.

• Chapter III — The Trial of a Child

Satanism meets jurisprudence in a courtroom that had no script for a teenage “demon

prince.”

The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Vanishing Hitchhiker of Route 66

On Thanksgiving night, 1971, a family driving the quiet stretch of Route 66 near Sapulpa, Oklahoma, encountered a barefoot girl in a torn white dress.

She asked for a ride home.

They wrapped her in a blanket.

She vanished before they reached the house.

What followed — a deserted foundation, a decades-old crash record, and sightings that recur every Thanksgiving — has made Mary Ellen one of the most haunting legends on America’s most famous road.

Was she a desperate spirit looking for her family — or just a story truckers tell to stay awake on long night drives?

Tonight, we ride along.

A Prayer in Spring: REDUX - Part Two Oct 31, 2025

🕯️ The Devil Within — A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part Two)

Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network

In this second and final part of A Prayer in Spring: REDUX, Branden returns to Jefferson Township — not as an outsider, but as someone who can’t quite let go of the town that shaped his understanding of faith, tragedy, and the supernatural.

It’s a homecoming of sorts: a drive down Berkshire Valley Road, through White Rock, and finally down the infamously haunted stretch of Clinton Road. What begins as a quiet spring morning soon becomes a meditation on evil, loss, and the ways grief can echo through a place long after the headlines fade.

Branden recalls his first visit to Clinton Road in daylight — the peaceful forests and winding asphalt that hide centuries of whispered legends. But when he returns to the Sullivan home, intending to introduce himself to the new owners, he learns the unthinkable: another tragedy has unfolded in the same house where Betty Ann Sullivan was murdered in 1988.

Within a single generation, two families have suffered unspeakable loss under the same roof. Whether coincidence or curse, Jefferson Township seems to exist on a knife’s edge between beauty and darkness.

“It’s the people that leave. The house remains. The town remains. The forest remains. But something in the air here — something unseen — never lets go.”

As the episode closes, Branden reflects on his connection to Jefferson: its resilience, its silence, and the way the town has learned to carry its ghosts quietly.

“Despite the sorrow and horror that fueled my reasons for visiting, I’m reminded that this small town has weathered terrible tragedy — and endured. Maybe that’s the true nature of grace.”

🌲 In This Episode

• Branden’s first visit to Clinton Road in daylight

• The disturbing discovery of a second tragedy inside the Sullivan home

• Reflections on evil, grief, and the possibility of something supernatural

• A meditation on Jefferson Township’s strength, faith, and quiet beauty

A Prayer in Spring: REDUX - Part One Oct 29, 2025

🕯️ The Devil Within — A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part One)

Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network

This week, The Devil Within reaches the closing chapter of its season one re-release in support of the upcoming MGM+ docuseries Let the Devil In.

In A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part One), Branden reflects on the final full episode of the original series — an episode that blends poetry, tragedy, and geography into a meditation on grief and faith in Jefferson Township.

🎙️ Poetry Corner with Branden: “A Prayer in Spring” by Robert Frost

The episode begins where it all began — with a poem.

Robert Frost’s “A Prayer in Spring” becomes the anchor for a discussion of gratitude, impermanence, and surrender — how Frost’s plea to “keep us here, all simply, in the springing of the year” mirrors the Sullivans’ own brief, fragile peace before tragedy struck.

Branden unpacks Frost’s lesser-known work and its place within the poet’s canon, contrasting its gentle acceptance with the melancholy of “Stopping by Woods,” “The Road Not Taken,” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”

“It’s not joy Frost struggles with — it’s permission. Permission to enjoy something beautiful without waiting for it to end.”

109 Redux

🌲 The Newark Watershed

The episode then turns to the land itself.

Branden explores the Newark Watershed, a vast system of reservoirs and protected forest that spans 35,000 acres across Sussex, Morris, and Passaic counties — explaining how the isolation of this region helped shape the haunting stillness that defines northern New Jersey.

“When people think of New Jersey and the only images conjured are Newark or Atlantic City… get up north and you’ll see why it’s called The Garden State.”

109 Redux

🕯️ The Sullivan Family’s Unfinished Story

Finally, the episode revisits the Sullivan family’s grim aftermath.

Years after Tommy Sullivan’s death, tragedy continued to follow.

• His brother Brian died by suicide just over a decade later.

• His aunt, Betty Ann’s sister, left behind her entire life after seeing the crime scene photos — and spent the next twenty years living as a cloistered nun.

Branden recounts how investigators later tracked down members of the family and uncovered new, disturbing details about Tom Sullivan Sr., whose life and secrets take center stage in next week’s Part Two.

“It seems the family just can’t escape tragedy — like it was written in blood in some cosmic contract that began that night.”

109 Redux

🔥 Next Time

Part Two reveals what became of Tom Sullivan Sr. — the man at the heart of it all — and why his story changes everything you thought you knew about The Devil Within.

Evio Presents: ⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One Oct 28, 2025

⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network Before the Vatican was marble and gold… before the Church had armies and crowns… there was Rome — a ruin with a heartbeat. In this first half of The Keys of Blood: The Assassination of Pope John VIII, we enter the smoke and silence of the ninth century — a time when popes ruled by letter instead of sword, when faith was a fragile currency, and when the empire that once conquered the world had been reduced to a city clinging to its own memory. ⚜️ Episode I: The Broken Empire Europe is in fragments. Charlemagne’s heirs bicker over borders while Viking and Saracen raiders carve the continent apart. Into this chaos steps Pope John VIII, a scholar forced into kingship. His Rome is a relic surrounded by wolves, and his only weapon is diplomacy — or what’s left of it. But when he dares to pay tribute to Saracen pirates to spare the city, his mercy is mistaken for weakness, and whispers of betrayal begin to echo through the marble halls of the Lateran. ⚓ Episode II: The Pope and the Pirates As the raiders tighten their grip, John is forced to choose between faith and survival. His decision to ransom Rome with gold saves lives but shatters his reputation. The Frankish kings mock him; the clergy call him coward; the nobles begin to conspire. When he crowns Charles the Bald as Holy Roman Emperor, hoping for salvation, the emperor dies within months — leaving the papacy more isolated than ever. Rome’s enemies circle closer, and John’s greatest fear becomes clear: the Church will not fall to pagans, but to its own believers. 👑 Episode III: The Emperor’s Shadow In this final chapter of Part One, the illusion of empire collapses for good. As Saracens burn the coasts and noble families tear Rome apart from within, Pope John VIII fights a losing battle to keep faith alive in a city that no longer believes. He writes, he pleads, he endures. Yet within the candlelit halls of the Lateran, betrayal is already gathering — not in the form of armies, but of whispers. The hammer that will one day kill him has not yet fallen, but its echo is already in the air. 🕯️ What to Expect A cinematic historical narrative written in the immersive, literary tone of The Ides of April, exploring: • The fall of Charlemagne’s empire and the rise of feudal chaos • The paradox of a pope who bought peace with gold • How faith, politics, and paranoia became indistinguishable • The first cracks in the illusion of papal invincibility 💀 Credits Written and narrated by Branden Morgan Produced by Evio Creative in partnership with Bellaire Studios Sound design and original score by [Audio Engineer Name] For press or partnerships, visit eviocreative.com (https://www.eviocreative.com/) 🕯️ Sponsor Shoutouts Support The Keys of Blood and every Evio Creative series by visiting our partners: 🧥 Quince — timeless essentials at honest prices.

The Devil’s Ledger — Week of October 27th Oct 27, 2025

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of October 27th

Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network

This week, The Devil’s Ledger dives headfirst into Halloween season with one of the eeriest true stories ever told — the tragic case of The Hanging Decoration.

🕯️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week:

A Delaware neighborhood wakes up the morning after Halloween to find what they think is a particularly realistic decoration hanging from a tree. It isn’t.

In this haunting story from 2005, Branden explores how real horror can hide in plain sight — and what it says about our need to keep death at a safe distance, especially on the one night we pretend to welcome it.

🔥 This Week Across the Evio Creative Network

• The Devil Within — The re-release of Season One concludes with Episode Nine: A Prayer in Spring. Branden takes a deeply personal journey through the aftermath of the Tommy Sullivan murder-suicide, reflecting on faith, forgiveness, and how Jefferson Township has changed in the decades since that night.

• The Ides of April — Alec Baldwin narrates the brand-new two-part story “The Assassination of Pope John VIII.” A pope murdered by his own court in 882 A.D. — who killed him, why, and how that single act reshaped both the Catholic Church and all of Europe.

• Taboo Treasures — Bruce Witkin and Jeff Levine explore “Halloween in Hollywood.” The origins of the slasher genre, the famous actors who got their start in horror films, and a deep dive into John Carpenter’s classic Halloween.

• Criminal Mischief — Carolyn Ossorio delivers a chilling Halloween homage to The Amityville Horror House. The 1974 murder of six family members, and the haunting that drove the Lutz family out just 28 days later.

🎥 This Week in Horror & Suspense

On Netflix, Taken in Plain Sight has climbed to #2 — a true-crime documentary that’s not technically horror, but every parent’s worst nightmare: a story of abduction, manipulation, and the evil that lives next door.

And premiering On Demand this week — Bitter Taste, a neo-gothic slasher with an occult twist. When a former athlete is trapped in the clutches of an undead countess and her cursed fellowship, she must rely on her instincts — and an unlikely alliance with a cynical fisherman and a grumpy cop — to survive a cannibalistic manhunt.

Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX - Part II Oct 24, 2025

👹 The Devil Within — Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX - Part II In the final hours of his life, Tommy Sullivan was surrounded by violence, confusion, and a darkness that no one fully understood. This episode revisits those final moments — the ones we think we know — and looks closer. Through timelines, testimony, and small, nearly invisible details, we explore a haunting possibility: that Tommy wasn’t consumed by evil… but fighting it. What if, in his final act, Tommy was trying to save the lives of his father and brother — not take them? Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX, Part II examines the blurred line between madness and martyrdom, and how the attempt to understand what happened that night may say more about us than about him. 🎧 Listen now to The Devil Within, where true crime meets the supernatural. 🩸 From the Evio Network Explore the full slate of dark, award-winning storytelling from Evio Creative: • 👹 The Devil Within — True crime through a haunted lens. • ⚔️ The Ides of April — Alec Baldwin narrates history’s most violent turning points. • 🏺 Taboo Treasures — The world’s most forbidden relics and their stories. • 💀 The Devil’s Ledger — Your weekly wrap-up from the underworld. • 🔪 Criminal Mischief — Real crimes.

Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX - Part One Oct 22, 2025

👹 The Devil Within — Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX

Robert Frost wrote that “Nothing gold can stay.”

It’s only eight lines long, but inside those lines is a lifetime: birth, decline, grief, and the eternal fall from innocence.

In this special Redux edition, I break down Frost’s masterpiece—its rhythm, its ache, and the hidden theology within the line “So Eden sank to grief.” Behind that quiet phrasing lies the ancient idea of the Felix Culpa—the fortunate fall, the notion that through tragedy comes salvation.

We’ll also revisit how this fragile little poem found new life on screen in The Outsiders, becoming a cinematic elegy for youth, decay, and the inevitable end of innocence.

And then, the darkness returns.

Because in the final days before the Clinton Road murder-suicide, Tommy Sullivan claimed he saw something staring back at him from the mirror. Something that wasn’t him.

When the Catholic Church learned of what Tommy described, the fear was immediate—and absolute.

Acquainted With the Night: REDUX - Part Two Oct 17, 2025

🎙️ The Devil Within — “Acquainted With the Night: REDUX — Part Two”

In this companion to last week’s episode, host Branden Morgan continues the exploration of Robert Frost’s haunting poem and its connections to the dark philosophies that shaped the life — and legacy — of Tommy Sullivan. This week, we turn our focus to The Rule of Three: an ancient principle that threads its way through Pagan ritual, Renaissance magic, and even the modern worlds of advertising, literature, and comedy writing.

Why do ideas, stories, and symbols presented in threes hold such uncanny power over us? From Wiccan law to corporate slogans, from fairy tales to the structure of a perfect punchline, the Rule of Three may be the oldest spell we still unconsciously cast.

Along the way, Branden examines how this pattern of repetition and consequence reemerges in Sullivan’s story — and why the “thrice-fold return” might be more than metaphor.

🔥 In This Episode

• The Pagan origins of the Rule of Three and its relationship to early moral law.

• How the concept evolved through Christian mysticism, medieval witchcraft, and Golden Dawn occultism.

• Why modern culture—from marketing campaigns to sitcoms—still relies on the same timeless rhythm.

• How it all ties back to Tommy Sullivan, The Devil Within, and the shadow he left behind.

Acquainted With the Night: REDUX - Part One Oct 15, 2025

🎙️ The Devil Within

REDUX: Acquainted With the Night

Frost’s darkness. Cross’s missing crates. And the terrible book that tied them together.

In this REDUX edition of The Devil Within, Branden Morgan revisits Acquainted With the Night — not just as a poem, but as a confession written in verse. Robert Frost’s descent through loneliness and despair mirrors Tommy Sullivan’s own walk into darkness — one lit not by the moon, but by the flicker of ritual fire.

This episode breaks down the layered meaning of Frost’s most haunting work, tracing its themes of isolation, inevitability, and the silent toll of the unknown. Then we go deeper — exploring what a grimoire truly is, how it bridges myth and madness, and how Tommy’s own “book of shadows” became both diary and damnation.

Finally, we turn to one of the lingering mysteries of the Sullivan case: the missing crates of Richard Cross’s belongings— books, scrolls, and artifacts said to have vanished after his death. What was inside them? And what did Tommy find when he began looking?

Some roads shouldn’t be walked alone. And some nights refuse to end.

Evio Creative Presents: The Shot Heard Around the World — Part I Oct 14, 2025

🎙️ The Ides of April The Shot Heard Around the World — Part I

Chapters 1–3: “The Heir of an Empire,” “A City on Edge,” “Europe in Tinder”

He was born to rule an empire he never truly believed in.Archduke Franz Ferdinand — heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, reformer, romantic, and the man whose death would ignite the modern age.

In this sweeping first part of The Shot Heard Around the World, Branden Morgan traces the improbable life of the Archduke, the fragile peace of Sarajevo, and the continent teetering on the edge of disaster. From his forbidden marriage to Sophie Chotek to the volatile web of alliances that bound Europe in mutual paranoia, this is the story of how one city — and one bullet — became the hinge upon which the twentieth century turned.

Through vivid storytelling and sharp historical insight, The Ides of April brings to life the world that existed just before the fall — a world too confident to imagine it could end.

🎧 Featuring:

The rise and decay of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
The secret societies plotting revolution in the Balkans
The chain of alliances that made peace impossible

💥 The Ides of April — where history’s turning points sound eerily familiar.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of October 13th. Oct 13, 2025

🎙️ THE DEVIL’S LEDGER October 13, 2025 — “The Autumn Gate”

This week in the Evio Creative universe:
As the nights grow longer, the stories get darker.

On The Devil Within — a classic returns.
In anticipation of the MGM+ docuseries Let the Devil In, we’re revisiting one of the most haunting tales from Season One: “Acquainted With the Night — REDUX.”
A remastered version of the episode that first defined the series — now with new commentary, archival audio, and never-before-heard material from the original investigation.

On The Ides of April — the world takes a wrong turn.
A new two-part event begins: “The Shot Heard Around the World” — the story of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, his doomed love affair, and the single moment that ignited World War I.
Narrated and written by Branden Morgan, this is where history’s fuse was lit.

And on Taboo Treasures — the countdown to Halloween begins.
An eerie introduction to the season of masks, monsters, and hidden meanings — tracing the origins of our darkest traditions and the artifacts they inspired.

Finally, The Ledger rounds up what’s new in horror this week — including The First Omen’s streaming debut, a chilling trailer drop for The Conjuring: Last Rites, and the limited theatrical release of The Devil’s Bath, a psychological descent from filmmaker Veronika Franz.

The Road Not Taken: REDUX - Part Two Oct 10, 2025

🎙️ THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Road Not Taken: REDUX — Part Two

In Support of the MGM+ Original Series “Let the Devil In”

In The Road Not Taken: REDUX — Part Two, host Branden Morgan continues his deep dive into the life, faith, and fatal choices of Tommy Sullivan — exploring how the path he thought would save him ultimately became the one that damned him.

While Robert Frost’s poem asks what might happen when we choose one road over another, Tommy’s story reveals what happens when the roads converge — when the sacred and the profane meet in the same place.

Before Tommy ever found Satanism, it was the Church itself that first taught him about it. The sermons, the scripture, the whispered warnings of evil that surrounded his childhood became his earliest introduction to darkness. It was from the pulpit, not the shadows, that he first heard the Devil’s name.

And when he finally witnessed a Black Mass — that forbidden inversion of everything he’d been taught to fear — it didn’t horrify him. It intrigued him.

Where the Church made him feel guilt, the ritual made him feel power. Where faith demanded obedience, blasphemy offered agency. And for a young man searching for meaning, the Devil was the first to offer him a choice.

In this episode, Branden unpacks how Tommy’s encounter with that ritual — its symbols, sounds, and seductions — became a mirror of everything the Church had warned him about… and everything he secretly longed to become.

By the time he reached Clinton Road, Tommy wasn’t lost. He was following the only path that had ever made sense to him.

🕯️ In This Episode

• The Church’s role in introducing Tommy to Satanic ideas

• The psychological allure of forbidden rituals and the Black Mass

• The symbolism of Frost’s The Road Not Taken as Tommy’s spiritual crossroads

• The events that set the stage for The Red Wagon

The Road Not Taken: REDUX - Part One Oct 08, 2025

🎙️ THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Road Not Taken: REDUX

Part One of Two — In Support of the MGM+ Original Series “Let the Devil In”

In this REDUX edition of The Devil Within, host Branden Morgan revisits one of the most haunting chapters in the Tommy Sullivan story — The Road Not Taken.

This time, we take a deeper look at Robert Frost’s famous poem and how its quiet meditation on choice and consequence mirrors Tommy’s descent into darkness. What begins as literary analysis soon opens into a meditation on fate — the roads we choose and the ones that seem to choose us.

But this episode also widens the lens. Branden traces the real-world shadows behind Frost’s metaphor — through the Mafia’s violent history in North Jersey, a landscape where the mob once turned quiet woodlands into burial grounds. The same woods where, decades later, the legend of Clinton Road would take root.

The Road Not Taken: REDUX connects the poetry of Frost to the brutality of the underworld — and to the final, irreversible turn Tommy Sullivan made that winter night. A choice between curiosity and caution… faith and fear… light and shadow. A choice that could have led him anywhere — except home.

🕯️ In This Episode

• A literary and psychological breakdown of The Road Not Taken

• How organized crime shaped North Jersey’s hidden history of violence

• The parallels between Robert Frost’s symbolism and Tommy Sullivan’s fate

• A preview of next week’s conclusion — when the poem becomes prophecy

Paradise Lost: REDUX - Part Two Sep 12, 2025

The Devil Within: Paradise Lost: REDUX - Part Two

In 1988, Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was thrust into the national spotlight. A teenage boy, Tommy Sullivan, murdered his mother before taking his own life in a crime so shocking it became a lightning rod for the Satanic Panic. Suddenly, everything—from heavy metal music to role-playing games to Catholic school curriculums—was scrutinized as potential gateways to darkness.

This episode, Paradise Lost, explores how Tommy’s seemingly ordinary suburban life unraveled in just a matter of weeks: his exposure to occult literature, his fascination with extreme music, whispers of rituals in the woods, and a town hall meeting where parents confronted the chilling possibility that their own traditions might have paved the way for horror.

Now, four years after this story first aired on The Devil Within, I’m bringing it back as part of our REDUX season—with brand new commentary. Together, we’ll re-examine what we thought we knew about the Sullivan case, how the story has evolved since we first told it, and how the MGM+ documentary series Let the Devil In aligns with and expands on each episode of Season One.

And while I can’t reveal everything just yet, know this: there are stunning new developments, and we’ll be unpacking them in our upcoming bonus episode.

In the Bleak Midwinter: REDUX - Part Two Sep 05, 2025

The Devil Within Season One:

In the bleak midwinter of 1988, the quiet town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was shaken to its core. A mother was found brutally murdered. Her teenage son vanished into the night. What unfolded in the hours and days that followed would horrify even the most seasoned investigators — and feed directly into the fever dream of the Satanic Panicsweeping across America.

This was the case that introduced listeners to The Devil Within. It wasn’t just a true crime story — it was the beginning of a descent into fear, paranoia, and the darker corners of human belief.

Now, we’re re-releasing The Jersey Devil with a twist. Host and writer Branden Morgan returns to the story with new commentary, reflecting on what it meant to tell this tale the first time, what he’s uncovered since, and why the Sullivan case still lingers in the American imagination.

This re-release also marks a milestone: the launch of the new MGM+ documentary series Let the Devil In, based on season one of The Devil Within. The four-part series — premiering August 31st — expands on the original story with exclusive interviews, never-before-seen evidence, and firsthand accounts from detectives, first responders, and those who lived through the nightmare.

In This Episode

• The brutal 1988 murder that shocked Jefferson Township.

• How the case became entwined with the national hysteria of the Satanic Panic.

• New behind-the-scenes reflections from Branden Morgan.

• How this story connects to the upcoming MGM+ series Let the Devil In.

Why Revisit This Story Now?

Because some stories never truly leave us. They echo, they evolve, and sometimes, they return in ways we never expect. The Jersey Devil is not only a cornerstone of this podcast — it’s the origin of a much larger journey that’s about to play out on screen.

Denver Confidential - Part Two Aug 29, 2025

The Devil Within – Denver Confidential Part Two

The shadows of Denver stretch deeper than anyone dares to admit. In Part Two, we return to the Mile High City’s darkest corners, where history, legend, and the supernatural collide.

Chapter Four leads us into the halls of the old Fitzsimons Army Hospital, where soldiers once healed, and spirits still linger in corridors thick with memory. Chapter Five drags us down to the River North district, where the “Demon of RiNo” turned industrial decay into a breeding ground for nightmares. And Chapter Six pulls us beneath Colfax Avenue, where whispers tell of children who never made it home—and whose voices still echo below the streets.

Part cautionary tale, part séance in the dark, Denver Confidential closes with stories that blur the line between myth and memory, forcing us to ask: how much of Denver’s past is really past?

Denver Confidential - Part One Aug 27, 2025

The Devil Within – Denver Confidential: Part One

Denver is a city built on secrets, and some of them refuse to stay buried. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the Mile High City’s darkest legends, where whispered stories of séances, restless spirits, and long-forgotten curses converge.

Chapter One takes us inside the Brown Palace Hotel, where high society once gathered for a séance that spiraled into something far more sinister. Chapter Two follows us to Cheesman Park, a lush expanse of green built over the bones of thousands—a playground for the living and a graveyard for the dead. And in Chapter Three, we climb the steps of Colorado’s State Capitol, where the foundations themselves carry a curse and the echoes of a troubled past.

Part history, part nightmare, Denver Confidential exposes the city’s haunted underbelly and the spectral fingerprints left on its most iconic places.

EVIO Creative Presents: The Ides of April - Episode Five Aug 25, 2025

🎙️ The Ides of April

Episode 5: Ghosts of the Potomac

As Abraham Lincoln’s body lies in state, the manhunt intensifies.

In this episode, we turn to the quiet architect of vengeance: Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. As the capital mourns, Stanton mobilizes the full force of the Union Army to bring Booth to justice—calling in generals, detectives, and even suspending civil liberties. Meanwhile, Booth and Herold limp their way across southern Maryland, desperately seeking help from old allies who are now rethinking their loyalties.

Enter the shadowy figures of the escape: Dr. Samuel Mudd, Colonel Samuel Cox, and the mysterious "River Ghost"—Thomas Jones—a Confederate smuggler who agrees to help ferry the fugitives across the Potomac. But bad directions, misread compasses, and sheer incompetence lead Booth and Herold in circles.

This is the story of The Lost Week: five long days of confusion, starvation, wounded egos, dead horses, and increasingly deranged diary entries from the assassin himself. The South isn’t hailing Booth as a hero. The North isn’t losing its will. And Stanton? He’s just getting started.

INTRODUCING: Stolen Voices of Dole Valley Aug 23, 2025

Stolen Voices of Dole Valley is a haunting investigative podcast series from Pie in the Sky

Media, KSL Podcasts and Lemonada, hosted by Carolyn Ossorio. With immersive storytelling,

archival tape, and survivor interviews, the show revisits one of the darkest, most under-reported

serial predator cases in the Pacific Northwest.

The series begins in the early 1970s, when 16-year-old Jamie Grissim vanishes from her foster

home in Vancouver, Washington. She would become the first suspected victim in a string of

disappearances and murders stretching across rural Clark County. But for years, the cases

remained unconnected—dismissed as runaways, forgotten in filing cabinets, or ignored

altogether.

At the center of this story is Norma Jean Countryman, a 15-year-old girl who escaped her

abductor by chewing through the ropes that bound her. Her account, dismissed by police at the

time, holds the key to understanding the scale and method of a predator hiding in plain sight…

Through meticulous reporting and the raw testimony of survivors and family members, Stolen

Voices of Dole Valley brings long-buried stories to light. From a body in a silo mistaken for D.B.

Cooper to a grieving sister who becomes a tireless advocate, each episode builds toward justice

—and reckoning.

Over 50 years after the first disappearance, this series uncovers systemic failures, cultural blind

spots, and the fierce resilience of those left behind. In a community desperate for closure, these

voices—once ignored—finally speak for themselves.

The Caracas Seminary Possession - Part Two Aug 22, 2025

The Devil Within — The Caracas Seminary Possession: Part Two

In the shadow of the Andes, a shuttered seminary holds more than dust and memories.

Whispers in the chapel. A vanished priest. A locked door that was never truly locked.

In Part Two of The Caracas Seminary Possession, the line between ritual and reckoning blurs. From a midnight Mass that leaves nine witnesses changed forever, to the disturbing discovery beneath the chapel’s foundation, this chapter pulls us deeper into a mystery the Church would rather forget.

The question isn’t what happened inside San Miguel Seminary—

It’s what might still be happening.

The Caracas Seminary Possession - Part One Aug 20, 2025

The Devil Within — The Caracas Seminary Possession: Part One

A crumbling seminary in Caracas.

Nine witnesses who swore they saw the impossible.

And a Church desperate to bury the truth—along with the bodies.

In Part One of The Caracas Seminary Possession, we open the locked doors of San Miguel for the first time in decades. Through survivor testimony, long-sealed diocesan files, and forgotten police reports, we follow the trail from a single unexplained incident to a full-scale exorcism that spiraled out of control.

Some say the evil was cast out.

Others believe it never left.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! Let the Devil In - The Devil Within comes to MGM+ Aug 15, 2025

Let the Devil In — The Devil Within Comes to MGM+

Description:

In 1988, Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was shaken to its core by the murder–suicide of Tommy Sullivan and his mother. The Devil Within first told that story in its debut season—peeling back the layers of mystery, fear, and unanswered questions. But now… the story goes deeper.

On August 31, the case takes on new life in a four-part documentary series on MGM+ titled Let the Devil In, executive produced by horror legend Eli Roth. This isn’t a simple retelling—it’s an evolution. More than a dozen new voices have come forward, including the lead detective on the case, the first officers on the scene, and Tommy’s high school principal—one of the last people to speak with him before that horrific night.

In this episode, Branden Morgan shares the behind-the-scenes story of how The Devil Within became Let the Devil In, the revelations uncovered along the way, and why you’ll want to sign up for MGM+ to watch it. Plus, to mark the occasion, The Devil Within is re-releasing Season One—with brand new commentary and perspective after nearly five years of living with this story. And one more thing… this is the first-ever video episode of the podcast, with every episode going forward available to watch as well as listen.

The Disappearance of Johnny Gosch - Part Two Aug 13, 2025

🎙️ The Devil Within

Johnny Gosch: The Final Hours

For decades, the story of Johnny Gosch has hovered somewhere between tragedy and conspiracy theory, between grassroots activism and government cover-up. In this final installment, we leave the suburban sidewalks of Iowa and enter murkier territory—an underworld where power protects the powerful, and the line between truth and delusion is dangerously thin.

We meet the so-called informants, like Paul Bonacci, who claim to have been trafficked alongside Johnny in a network stretching from Omaha to Washington, D.C. We examine the infamous Franklin Credit Union scandal, the dossiers, the handwritten letters, and the grainy photos that allegedly show Johnny alive and chained. We follow Noreen Gosch through the corridors of Capitol Hill and into late-night meetings with ex-cops, private investigators, and men with things to confess.

What emerges is not a resolution—but a reckoning.

Because the deeper we go, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t just about one missing boy. It’s about a society that wasn’t ready to believe what it already knew. A mother who refused to stop asking questions. And a case that, forty years later, still hasn’t been officially solved—because solving it might mean admitting the unimaginable.

The Disappearance of Johnny Gosch - Part One Aug 08, 2025

🎧️ The Devil Within

Johnny Gosch: The Vanishing Boy

On the morning of September 5, 1982, twelve-year-old Johnny Gosch vanished while delivering newspapers in West Des Moines, Iowa. Within hours, his red wagon was found abandoned. Within days, so was any sense of order.

This is where it begins: a quiet suburban neighborhood, a missing paperboy, and a mother who refused to stay silent. In the first half of our series, we trace the immediate aftermath of Johnny’s disappearance—the police missteps, the media silence, and the moment Noreen Gosch stopped waiting for someone else to act.

But this isn’t just a missing persons case. It quickly mutates into something stranger: rumors of child pornography rings, secret government cover-ups, and a series of whistleblowers who all seem to die under mysterious circumstances. Noreen doesn’t just want answers. She wants names. And if the system won’t give them to her, she’ll start naming names herself.

These are the early days of the Johnny Gosch case—before the public knew what to believe, before the word "conspiracy" became shorthand for delusion, and before the rest of the country realized that something deeply wrong had taken root in the American heartland.

The Boy in the Walls Aug 06, 2025

🔪 The Boy in the Walls

Before the blood, before the murders, before the courtroom sketches that froze his face in time—there was the knocking. The scratching. The whispers in the walls.

In this season premiere, we journey to 1980s suburban Massachusetts, where the Andrews sisters believed they were being haunted. Grieving the recent loss of their mother, the girls turned to a Ouija board for comfort… and something answered. The walls began to speak. Notes appeared. Furniture moved. And then, one night, they found him.

Not a ghost.

Not a demon.

But a boy.

Daniel LaPlante had been living inside their walls, pretending to be the spirit of their dead mother. He watched them sleep. He wrote them notes. He wore her clothes.

This is the origin story of one of New England’s most disturbing murderers—a tale so surreal it blurs the line between supernatural horror and true crime. The scariest part? It all really happened.

📍 Highlights of this episode:

• Ouija boards and ghostly games gone wrong

• The terrifying events inside the Andrews home

• The shocking discovery behind the bedroom wall

• Who was Daniel LaPlante before the bloodshed began?

EPISODE 7: The Beast Beneath Venice

Long before tourists filled St. Mark’s Square, locals spoke of a creature beneath the canals — a wolf that fed not on flesh, but on sin.

A shadow on horseback terrorized the island’s countryside. Was it a bandit? A ghost? Or the last of the ancient wolf-blooded clans?

EPISODE 9: The Werewolf Trials of Tuscany

Between the plague years, fear took root in the villages — and men stood trial not for witchcraft, but for turning wolf beneath the full moon.

EVIO Creative Presents: Taboo Treasures - Heavenly Sneakers Jul 14, 2025

Show Notes:

In 1997, the world was stunned by the mass suicide of 39 members of the Heaven’s Gate cult in San Diego. But one detail stood out in every photo of that tragic scene—the matching black Nike Decade sneakers on each body.

In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore how these now-infamous shoes became a dark symbol of the cult’s final ritual. We trace the origins of Heaven’s Gate, led by Marshall Applewhite, the apocalyptic beliefs tied to the Hale-Bopp comet, and the eerie details of that last night—right down to the poisoned applesauce.

🎧 Press play and step inside one of the most disturbing intersections of commerce, culture, and cult history.

European Vacation: The Beasts of France - Part Two Jul 04, 2025

THE DEVIL WITHIN

Mini-Series: The Beasts of France

Description:

France is a country of cathedrals, castles… and cryptids.

In this chilling six-part series from The Devil Within, we journey into the haunted forests, fog-laced vineyards, war-ravaged trenches, and bone-lined tunnels of France to uncover a dark and forgotten legacy: the loup-garou.

Part folklore, part true crime, The Beasts of France explores six terrifying cases—some legendary, others all too real—where the line between man and monster vanished. From the infamous Beast of Gévaudan that terrorized the countryside in the 1700s… to the Black Beast that stalked soldiers during WWI… to a secret cult beneath Paris in the 1970s that believed the werewolf wasn’t a myth—but a destiny.

PART ONE:

1 The Beast of Gévaudan – A brutal string of killings in 18th-century France blamed on a creature that couldn’t be caught… or killed.

2 The Werewolves of the Jura – A cannibalistic hermit confesses to transforming into a wolf—and sets off a legal and spiritual panic.

3 The Beast of the Vosges – In 1994, livestock mutilations and phantom sightings resurrect France’s most ancient fears.

PART TWO:

4 The Werewolf of Bordeaux – A calm, lucid man is arrested for murder—and insists he was simply answering the call of the wolf.

5 The Black Beast of Normandy – World War I soldiers report a hulking predator in the fog of battle… and it may not have left.

6 The Devil’s Breath – A Parisian cult, a forgotten detective, and a series of disappearances that point to something living beneath the City of Light.

I Love New York: Part Two Jun 20, 2025

The city speaks in static. And sometimes… it answers back.

This week on The Devil Within, we bring you two terrifying tales from beneath the surface of Manhattan—where signals hum through old copper wires and ancient tunnels echo with hunger.

🟡 Part One: The Whisper Grid

In the 1970s, a forgotten switching station beneath Tribeca became the stuff of urban legend. Electricians reported strange voices coming through dead circuits. Disconnected lines sparked without power.

And when a curious telecom worker vanished during a late-night repair, some whispered the system had become… aware.

What happens when a city’s infrastructure starts talking back?

🐀 Part Two: The Rat King of Alphabet City

Deep below the Lower East Side lives something worse than folklore: a writhing, sentient mass of rats—tails knotted by blood, muscle, and instinct.

First seen during a cellar flood in 1891. Sighted again during the blackout of 1977.

The city has tried to seal it off, deny its existence.

But witnesses know: the Rat King is real. And it’s still growing.

💀 Urban horror meets analog paranoia in this double feature from the haunted infrastructure of New York City.

I Love New York: Part One Jun 18, 2025

Beneath Manhattan, the past never stays buried.

In this two-part descent into New York’s forgotten corners, we explore two of the city’s most enduring and unsettling legends.

🟠 Part One: The Subway Serpent of South Ferry

A century-old secret coils beneath the South Ferry subway station. Workers whisper about claw marks in tunnel walls, lost men dragged screaming into the dark, and a beast born of abandoned sewers and government neglect. Is it just a story told by trackwalkers… or is something alive down there?

🟣 Part Two: The Undying of Hart Island

Just across the water lies Hart Island—a place so haunted, the city keeps it locked away. Over a million souls lie in mass graves, many buried without names. But some say the dead aren’t resting. Prisoners who once dug the trenches speak of whispers in the fog… and something moving beneath the soil.

Each story is rooted in chilling history. Each offers a glimpse into the monstrous heart of the city that never sleeps.

The Unholy Crusade: Part Two Jun 13, 2025

As World War II spiraled toward its violent end, the Nazi obsession with relics, ritual, and redemption reached terrifying new heights.

In the final three episodes of our Grail War series, we go deeper into the rituals of Wewelsburg Castle, where SS leaders performed bloodline ceremonies and solstice rites in the shadow of the Black Sun. Beneath the floors, prisoners died constructing the temple. Above, Himmler and his inner circle dreamed of a new religion—one rooted not in salvation, but supremacy.

As the Reich collapsed, documents were burned, relics buried, and entire wings of the castle destroyed. But Wewelsburg’s most sinister chamber survived. And in the decades that followed, its symbols and myths were reborn—on fringe message boards, in neo-Nazi movements, and in the dark corners of conspiracy culture.

Because the most powerful relic… is the one never found.

The Unholy Crusade: Part One Jun 11, 2025

Long before the Allies stormed Berlin, a different kind of war was already underway—waged not with bullets and tanks, but with relics, runes, and ancient symbols of power.

This three-part series unearths the chilling true story of the Nazis' obsession with the occult and their state-sponsored quest for the Holy Grail. At the center of it all was SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who transformed a crumbling medieval ruin—Wewelsburg Castle—into a spiritual fortress and ritual temple for a cult hiding in plain sight.

From secret SS expeditions in search of relics to fabricated sacred texts and blood-soaked ceremonies in the castle’s north tower, The Devil Within reveals how myth, pseudoscience, and fanaticism merged into something far more dangerous: belief weaponized.

And when the war was lost, Wewelsburg didn’t die. The Black Sun chamber survived.

And the thirteenth pedestal—the one reserved for the Grail—remains empty to this day.

Beneath the Chapel: The Kidwelly Cult Jun 06, 2025

🎙 The Devil Within

Episode Title: Beneath the Chapel: The Kidwelly Cult

Show Notes:

In the quiet, coastal town of Kidwelly, Wales, stood an unassuming chapel—and beneath it, a darkness that would horrify the nation.

This episode dives deep into one of the most disturbing and little-known cult cases in modern Britain. Led by a former soldier turned self-proclaimed prophet, the cult operated in secret for years, subjecting children to terrifying abuse, mind control, and ritualistic torment—all in the name of salvation.

How did this cult remain hidden in plain sight? What drove ordinary people to commit extraordinary evil? And what happened when the lies began to unravel?

Join us as we pull back the veil on a case that is as harrowing as it is haunting.

In the misty glens of Northern Ireland, County Antrim holds centuries-old secrets — whispers of women who healed, cursed, and vanished.

The Mysteries of Houska Castle May 23, 2025

Hidden deep in the forests of the Czech Republic lies a castle unlike any other—one with no clear strategic purpose, no noble residence, and no windows facing the outside world. Instead, Houska Castle was built over a gaping hole in the earth... a pit so deep and terrifying that legends say it leads straight to Hell.

In this episode of The Devil Within, we uncover the dark history of Houska Castle—from its bizarre medieval origins and pagan legends to whispered tales of demonic entities, Nazi occult experiments, and modern-day paranormal investigations. Why would a 13th-century ruler spend a fortune constructing a fortress with its defenses turned inward? What really happened to the prisoners who were lowered into the abyss as test subjects? And is the evil sealed beneath the chapel truly dormant?

Step inside Houska, where history and horror bleed together—and where the line between myth and madness disappears.
