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.

REDUX: Acquainted With the Night

 Frost’s darkness. Cross’s missing crates. And the terrible book that tied them together.

In this REDUX edition of The Devil Within, Branden Morgan revisits Acquainted With the Night — not just as a poem, but as a confession written in verse. Robert Frost’s descent through loneliness and despair mirrors Tommy Sullivan’s own walk into darkness — one lit not by the moon, but by the flicker of ritual fire.

This episode breaks down the layered meaning of Frost’s most haunting work, tracing its themes of isolation, inevitability, and the silent toll of the unknown. Then we go deeper — exploring what a grimoire truly is, how it bridges myth and madness, and how Tommy’s own “book of shadows” became both diary and damnation.

Finally, we turn to one of the lingering mysteries of the Sullivan case: the missing crates of Richard Cross’s belongings— books, scrolls, and artifacts said to have vanished after his death. What was inside them? And what did Tommy find when he began looking?

Some roads shouldn’t be walked alone. And some nights refuse to end.

Acquainted With the Night: REDUX - Part One

🎙️ The Ides of April The Shot Heard Around the World — Part I

Chapters 1–3: “The Heir of an Empire,” “A City on Edge,” “Europe in Tinder”

He was born to rule an empire he never truly believed in.Archduke Franz Ferdinand — heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, reformer, romantic, and the man whose death would ignite the modern age.

In this sweeping first part of The Shot Heard Around the World, Branden Morgan traces the improbable life of the Archduke, the fragile peace of Sarajevo, and the continent teetering on the edge of disaster. From his forbidden marriage to Sophie Chotek to the volatile web of alliances that bound Europe in mutual paranoia, this is the story of how one city — and one bullet — became the hinge upon which the twentieth century turned.

Through vivid storytelling and sharp historical insight, The Ides of April brings to life the world that existed just before the fall — a world too confident to imagine it could end.

🎧 Featuring:

 
The rise and decay of the Austro-Hungarian Empire

 
The secret societies plotting revolution in the Balkans

 
The chain of alliances that made peace impossible

💥 The Ides of April — where history’s turning points sound eerily familiar.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of October 13th.

🎙️ THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Road Not Taken: REDUX — Part Two

In Support of the MGM+ Original Series “Let the Devil In”

In The Road Not Taken: REDUX — Part Two, host Branden Morgan continues his deep dive into the life, faith, and fatal choices of Tommy Sullivan — exploring how the path he thought would save him ultimately became the one that damned him.

While Robert Frost’s poem asks what might happen when we choose one road over another, Tommy’s story reveals what happens when the roads converge — when the sacred and the profane meet in the same place.

Before Tommy ever found Satanism, it was the Church itself that first taught him about it. The sermons, the scripture, the whispered warnings of evil that surrounded his childhood became his earliest introduction to darkness. It was from the pulpit, not the shadows, that he first heard the Devil’s name.

And when he finally witnessed a Black Mass — that forbidden inversion of everything he’d been taught to fear — it didn’t horrify him. It intrigued him.

Where the Church made him feel guilt, the ritual made him feel power. Where faith demanded obedience, blasphemy offered agency. And for a young man searching for meaning, the Devil was the first to offer him a choice.

In this episode, Branden unpacks how Tommy’s encounter with that ritual — its symbols, sounds, and seductions — became a mirror of everything the Church had warned him about… and everything he secretly longed to become.

By the time he reached Clinton Road, Tommy wasn’t lost. He was following the only path that had ever made sense to him.

🕯️ In This Episode

 • The Church’s role in introducing Tommy to Satanic ideas

 • The psychological allure of forbidden rituals and the Black Mass

 • The symbolism of Frost’s The Road Not Taken as Tommy’s spiritual crossroads

 • The events that set the stage for The Red Wagon

The Road Not Taken: REDUX - Part Two

🎙️ THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Road Not Taken: REDUX

Part One of Two — In Support of the MGM+ Original Series “Let the Devil In”

In this REDUX edition of The Devil Within, host Branden Morgan revisits one of the most haunting chapters in the Tommy Sullivan story — The Road Not Taken.

This time, we take a deeper look at Robert Frost’s famous poem and how its quiet meditation on choice and consequence mirrors Tommy’s descent into darkness. What begins as literary analysis soon opens into a meditation on fate — the roads we choose and the ones that seem to choose us.

But this episode also widens the lens. Branden traces the real-world shadows behind Frost’s metaphor — through the Mafia’s violent history in North Jersey, a landscape where the mob once turned quiet woodlands into burial grounds. The same woods where, decades later, the legend of Clinton Road would take root.

The Road Not Taken: REDUX connects the poetry of Frost to the brutality of the underworld — and to the final, irreversible turn Tommy Sullivan made that winter night. A choice between curiosity and caution… faith and fear… light and shadow. A choice that could have led him anywhere — except home.

🕯️ In This Episode

 • A literary and psychological breakdown of The Road Not Taken

 • How organized crime shaped North Jersey’s hidden history of violence

 • The parallels between Robert Frost’s symbolism and Tommy Sullivan’s fate

 • A preview of next week’s conclusion — when the poem becomes prophecy

In this REDUX edition, we explore Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem Spring and Fall to a Young Child, a work whose meditation on loss and innocence casts a chilling light on the story of Tommy Sullivan. Alongside the poem, we examine Tommy’s life as a young wrestler in Jefferson Township, New Jersey—a world of pressure, discipline, and hidden struggle.

You’ll also hear newly added clips from an interview with Jefferson Township resident and former wrestler Dave Esposito, who helps us understand the intensity of the sport, the culture it creates, and what that meant for a boy like Tommy Sullivan
