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’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 DEVIL’S LEDGER: Week of December 8th

🌙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 Two

🕊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 Ides of April Presents: The Death of the New America - The Assassination of Robert Kennedy

🕯️ 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.

The Dover Demon - Part Two

🕯️ 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.

The Dover Demon - Part One

🕯️ 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.

The Devil's Ledger: Week of December 1st, 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 Scholar and the Madman: The Assassination of President James Garfield - Part One

🔥 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.

Highways of the Damned: The Thomas Creech Story - Part Two

🔥 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. And a legend that outlived the Satanic Panic itself.

Highways of the Damned: The Thomas Creech Story - Part One

🔥 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.
