The Devil Within

EVIO Creative

Welcome to The Devil Within, the podcast that explores true stories of demonic possession and the supernatural. With new episodes every week and new, immersive seasons every year, The Devil Within begins where the answers run out… and the truth, no matter how extraordinary, will be brought into the light. From ancient spirits to modern day ghost stories… demonic possession to creatures of legend. For all things unexplainable - and more than few that are better left alone - The Devil Within has you covered. 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.

    The Woodchipper and the New Year

    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. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

    Introducing Rob Dial: Want to Actually Achieve Your Goals in 2026? Use THIS Action-Based Goal System to Get Back on Track (Even If You Fall Off!) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty Jay sits down with Rob Dial for a powerful conversation about discipline, purpose, and why so many people stay stuck even when they know exactly what they should do. Rob reframes discipline not as punishment or pressure, but as an act of self-respect, explaining why choosing discomfort today is often the deepest form of self-love. From building consistency to reshaping identity, he reveals why real change has nothing to do with motivation or willpower, and everything to do with designing a life where doing the right thing becomes automatic. Drawing from his own journey, Rob shares hard-earned lessons on following curiosity, embracing failure, and staying consistent long before results appear. He challenges the idea that purpose is something you “find” all at once, offering instead a more grounded path—one built through action, experimentation, and committing fully to the season you’re in. Together, Jay and Rob explore how fear, past pain, and self-judgment quietly hold people back, and how small, imperfect steps can begin healing old wounds while building confidence, competence, and momentum in the present. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Build Discipline When Motivation Disappears  How to Stay Consistent Even When You Fall Off Track How to Focus on One Habit for 100 Days How to Design Your Environment for Better Habits How to Turn Discipline Into Self-Love How to Not Quit Even When You Don’t See Results  How to Make 2026 Your Best Year by Doing Less, Not More Focus on what you can control today. Do one thing well. Create habits that support the person you want to become, and be patient with yourself as you grow into them.

    The Devil's Ledger - Week of December 29th.

    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. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW Make sure you’re following The Devil’s Ledger and the full Evio Creative lineup so you never miss an episode: The Devil Within • The Ides of April • Criminal Mischief • Taboo Treasures, and more.  ⭐ RATE & REVIEW If you can, drop a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify — it genuinely helps independent shows grow (and yes, we read them).  📺 WATCH & SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE Watch full video episodes, clips, and exclusives. 👉 Subscribe to Evio Creative on YouTube and turn on notifications.  📲 FOLLOW US Instagram:     •    @thedevilwithinpod     •    @idesofaprilpod     •    @eviocreative 🌐 VISIT Explore everything at eviocreative.com  ✉ GET IN TOUCH Story tip?

    The Devil Within: Christmas Special - Part Two

    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 USUAL EVIO CREATIVE CTAs LISTEN & FOLLOW Follow The Devil Within and the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode.

    The Devil Within: Christmas Special!

    🎄 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. ⭐ CALLS TO ACTION • Follow us on Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod • Visit eviocreative.com• Rate, review & share • Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen • Tell a friend who loves dark holidays & childhood trauma disguised in wrapping paper 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.

    The Ides of April: A Christmas Assassination

    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 USUAL EVIO CREATIVE CTAs LISTEN & FOLLOW Follow The Ides of April and the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW If this episode stayed with you, leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

    The Devil's Ledger: Week of December 22nd

    📖 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. 🎧 Listener CTAs     •    ⭐ Follow, rate, and review The Devil’s Ledger on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.     •    📤 Share this episode with someone who likes their Christmas stories a little haunted.     •    📩 Send your thoughts — or the creepiest thing you heard this week — to info@eviocreative.com.     •    🎙️ Explore the full Evio Creative lineup at eviocreative.com, including The Devil Within, Criminal Mischief, The Ides of April, and Taboo Treasures. 🎄 Happy Holidays from all of us at Evio Creative.

With new episodes every week and new, immersive seasons every year, The Devil Within begins where the answers run out… and the truth, no matter how extraordinary, will be brought into the light. From ancient spirits to modern day ghost stories… demonic possession to creatures of legend. For all things unexplainable - and more than few that are better left alone - The Devil Within has you covered. 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.
