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 FOUR 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 Devil Within

🎧 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.

The Beast of Bladenboro: Part One - The Vampire of Bladenboro County

🎧 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.

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger — Week of April 13

🌑 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 - Part Two: The Spreading Shadow

🎙 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.

Voices in the Void: Part Two - What Follows Us Up there...

🎙 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.

Voices in the Void: Part One - The Third Man in Space

🎧 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.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

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.

The Pope Lick Monster: Trestle of the Damned

🎧 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.

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

🎧 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.

🎤 On Finding Me with Josh Wolf

If you’re not already following along—you should be.

Finding Me with Josh Wolf is now over 60 episodes in, and something real is happening.

Josh has found a rhythm.

A daily cadence.

And what you’re hearing isn’t a finished version of someone…

It’s the process.

A rare, honest look at change—while it’s actually happening.

🎬 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.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of March 30th

🔥 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.
