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 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 Two

🩸 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 Girl in the Red Coat - Part One

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.

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER — Week of November 17th

🎧 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 Hollywood Ending: The Matthew Tinling Case - Part One

🎙️ 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 Devil's Ledger - Week of Nov. 10th.

🜏 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 Two

🜏 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?

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger - Week of Nov. 3rd.

🕯️ 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 Two

⛪ 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
