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 Ides of April: The Assassination of Julius Caesar (Part II)

In the conclusion of our two-part story on the fall of the Roman Republic, host Branden Morgan of The Devil Withincontinues the saga of Julius Caesar’s last days and their aftermath.

This episode covers the final three chapters:

 • The Fallout — Mark Antony seizes the moment, and Rome’s streets erupt in chaos.

 • Judgment of History — Brutus and Cassius, hailed by some as liberators and condemned by others as traitors.

 • The Death of the Republic, Birth of the Empire — How Caesar’s assassination closed one chapter of Rome and opened another that would last for centuries.

The knives ended Caesar’s life, but they could not stop the tide of empire.

Spring and Fall to a Young Child: REDUX

We return to one of the most haunting chapters of The Devil Within—this time with new commentary and deeper insights.

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

The series—based on Season One of The Devil Within—brings the haunting story of Jefferson Township to the screen with gripping visuals, never-before-seen interviews, and an intensity that lingers long after the credits roll. Trey shares what drew him to this dark chapter in American true crime, how he approached the balance between fact and myth, and the creative choices behind capturing fear, paranoia, and belief on screen.

Together, we talk about trust, responsibility, and the challenges of translating a podcast into a cinematic documentary. Plus, Trey opens up about his own background, influences, and what he hopes Let the Devil In will mean for viewers.

Let the Devil In: Director Trey Nelson

The Devil Within: Paradise Lost: REDUX - Part Two

In 1988, Jefferson Township, New Jersey, was thrust into the national spotlight. A teenage boy, Tommy Sullivan, murdered his mother before taking his own life in a crime so shocking it became a lightning rod for the Satanic Panic. Suddenly, everything—from heavy metal music to role-playing games to Catholic school curriculums—was scrutinized as potential gateways to darkness.

This episode, Paradise Lost, explores how Tommy’s seemingly ordinary suburban life unraveled in just a matter of weeks: his exposure to occult literature, his fascination with extreme music, whispers of rituals in the woods, and a town hall meeting where parents confronted the chilling possibility that their own traditions might have paved the way for horror.

Now, four years after this story first aired on The Devil Within, I’m bringing it back as part of our REDUX season—with brand new commentary. Together, we’ll re-examine what we thought we knew about the Sullivan case, how the story has evolved since we first told it, and how the MGM+ documentary series Let the Devil In aligns with and expands on each episode of Season One.

And while I can’t reveal everything just yet, know this: there are stunning new developments, and we’ll be unpacking them in our upcoming bonus episode.
