The Devil Within

EVIO Creative

The Devil Within is a cinematic podcast about the stories that refuse to die — the legends, disappearances, curses, and supernatural encounters that linger long after the world moves on. Each episode blends history, folklore, and investigation to explore what really happened… and why these stories still haunt us. From mythical creatures and haunted places, to strange crimes and unexplained phenomena, The Devil Within starts where the facts end — and the unanswered questions begin. New episodes weekly. Bring a light. You may need it. BINGE THE FIRST THREE SEASONS NOW! Season 1: The Jersey Devil - The brutal slaying of BETTY ANN SULLIVAN shocked the small town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey. The violence of that evening shocked the nation for the perpetrator... was her own son, a boy of fourteen who would take his own life only hours later. What the investigation revealed left a community in tatters, unwilling to believe the evil that had befallen them. Season 2: The Demons of Yorkshire - In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England. After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michael’s personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price...  Season 3: A Season in Hell - In the late 1970's New York City had it all: Hip Hop, Punk Rock... and the Son of Sam. The third season of The Devil Within takes listeners into the belly of the beast and explores the wicked origins, reign of terror and ultimate capture of one of the most feared serial killers in history. With exclusive interviews from journalists, FBI agents, historians and mental health experts this season promises to be the most comprehensive - and most terrifying - account of how one man brought New York City to a standstill. Season 4: Satan's Shadow - In the 1980s, California learned that fear doesn’t always lurk in the dark. Sometimes, it walks right through the door. SATAN’S SHADOW follows the terrifying rise of Richard Ramirez — the Night Stalker — while tracing his crimes alongside Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. As Ramirez descends deeper into violence, we descend with him through Dante’s circles of hell, asking what happens to a city — and a soul — when darkness becomes a spectacle. Across nine episodes, each chapter pairs the facts of the case with a brief lesson from Dante: desire twisted into obsession, cruelty masquerading as power, betrayal, violence, and the chilling fascination that draws us closer instead of pushing us away. Because Ramirez didn’t just kill. He captivated. He made the world watch — and forced us to confront the part of ourselves that can’t look away. Bonus episodes explore the trial, aftermath, and the myths that followed — along with glimpses into Purgatorio and Paradiso, and whether redemption or meaning is possible after horror. SATAN’S SHADOW isn’t only about a murderer. It’s about a culture slowly walking toward darkness… and what it costs to climb back out.

    The Winter Olympics: The Track That Ate Him!

    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

    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.

    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 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts—The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf and more—so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

    The Devil's Ledger - Week of January 26th

    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

    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

    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.
