The Devil Within

🌑 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. 🎙️ Follow & Stay Connected Follow The Devil Within on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and subscribe on YouTube for full episodes and exclusive content. 📱 Socials Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod Instagram: @idesofaprilpod Instagram: @taboo_treasures YouTube: Evio Creative Network Website: eviocreative.com 🚨 Network Call to Action If you’re enjoying The Devil Within, explore the full Evio Creative Network: 🎧 The Ides of April — history’s most consequential moments, told cinematically🎭 Criminal Mischief — unforgettable characters behind real crimes🎤 Finding Me with Josh Wolf — daily accountability and real-time growth🕯️ Taboo Treasures — the darkest stories behind rare artifacts Follow, subscribe, and share your favorite shows. 🔥 Final CTA If this episode stayed with you—share it.

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. 📱 Socials • Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod • Instagram: @idesofaprilpod • Instagram: @taboo_treasures • YouTube: Evio Creative Network • Website: eviocreative.com 🚨 Network Call to Action Explore the full Evio Creative Network: 🎧 The Devil Within — where folklore meets documented reality 🏛️ The Ides of April — history’s most pivotal moments 🎤 Finding Me with Josh Wolf — daily growth, in real time 🕯️ Taboo Treasures — the dark stories behind rare artifacts Follow, subscribe, and share your favorite episodes. 🔥 Final CTA If this story pulled you in—share it.

🎧 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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

🎧 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. 🎙️ Follow & Stay Connected Follow all shows across Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

🔥 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. 🎙️ Follow & Stay Connected Follow The Devil Within on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and subscribe on YouTube for full episodes and exclusive content. 📱 Socials • Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod • Instagram: @idesofaprilpod • Instagram: @taboo_treasures • YouTube: Evio Creative Network • Website: eviocreative.com 🚨 Network Call to Action If you’re enjoying The Devil Within, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative Network. 🎧 The Ides of April — cinematic history at its most consequential 🎭 Criminal Mischief — unforgettable characters and the stories behind the crimes 🎤 Finding Me with Josh Wolf — real-time accountability, growth, and daily perspective 🕯️ Taboo Treasures — the darkest stories behind the world’s rarest artifacts Follow, subscribe, and share your favorite episodes.

🎧 The Devil Within Mother Earth’s Children 🌿 Episode One: The Garden of Earthly Delights It begins, as these stories often do, with something that looks like hope. Northern California. The early 1970s. A generation searching for meaning beyond institutions that no longer made sense. And a man who seemed to have the answers. Thomas “Brother Sun” Morrison—former seminary student, charismatic thinker, and architect of a new spiritual vision—offered something intoxicating: Connection. Transcendence. A return to what he called Mother Earth’s original wisdom. But what he built in the hills above Mendocino wasn’t just a commune. It was a system. 🧠 In This Episode: • The rise of Morrison and his Earth Mother philosophy • How educated, idealistic followers were drawn into a closed spiritual community • The subtle shift from guidance to psychological control • The use of ritual, isolation, and “sacred chemistry” to reshape belief • The first disappearance—and the moment everything changed 🌑 The Shift What begins as spiritual exploration slowly becomes something else. Control disguised as enlightenment. Obedience reframed as transcendence. And rituals that move—almost imperceptibly—from symbolic… To real. 🎯 The Takeaway The most dangerous systems don’t look dangerous at first.

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger Week of March 22nd — The First Day of Spring Spring has officially arrived. Longer days. Warmer air. The illusion—however brief—that things might be turning toward the light. But if you’ve been here before… you already know. Spring doesn’t just bring renewal. It brings ritual. It brings obsession. And sometimes—it brings something much darker. 👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week The Catskill Mountain Coven In 1952, deep in the Catskills, farmers began finding livestock arranged in precise, ritualistic patterns—geometric formations visible only from above. What followed was an investigation into a secretive group known as the Mountain Keepers—a collection of educated outsiders led by a former seminary student who claimed to have rediscovered ancient spiritual truths. Underground chambers. Ritual markings. Human remains predating known settlement. The group vanished. The site remains sealed. And locals still report that, each spring… something in the mountains wakes up. 🔥 On The Devil Within New Series: The California Hippie Murders Northern California. Communal living. Nature worship. An “Earth Mother” belief system built around fertility and balance. But behind the language of harmony, something twisted. What they called ceremonies… What they claimed were rituals of renewal… Were actually murders. Ritualized. Justified. And hidden in plain sight. 🗡️ On The Ides of April Series Finale: The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin We close our series on the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. The assassin. The investigation. The ideology behind it. And the documents that remain classified. Three decades later, the questions haven’t gone away. Because some events don’t end. They echo. 🎭 On Criminal Mischief New Mini-Series: “Hollywood” A Seattle bank robber known only as Hollywood. Not violent. Not subtle. But impossible to ignore. With disguises, confidence, and a flair for performance, he turned robbery into spectacle. It’s a wild story—with an ending you won’t see coming. 🕯️ On Taboo Treasures Dark this week. We’ll leave it there. 🎤 On Finding Me with Josh Wolf Finding Me has moved to Josh’s original YouTube home—the Hey Maaan channel. A bigger audience. The same mission: Show up. Stay accountable. Do the work. And the results are already showing. 🎬 This Week in Horror Ready or Not 2: Here I Come The sequel to Ready or Not goes bigger, darker, and deeper into its mythology. What started as a sharp, satirical horror story is evolving into something more unsettling. Less joke. More inevitability. And that shift makes it dangerous. 🎙️ Follow & Stay Connected Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify.

Episode 2: The Investigators and the Inferno In Episode Two, the story of Borley takes a darker turn. After the death of the Bull family patriarch, new residents move into the rectory—and quickly discover they are not alone. The Foyster family arrives in 1930 expecting a quaint country parish. What they encounter instead is a full-scale poltergeist siege. Objects move on their own. Messages appear on walls. Personal items vanish and reappear in impossible places. And at the center of it all is Marianne Foyster, who becomes the focus of increasingly violent supernatural activity. What was once a passive haunting becomes interactive, intelligent… and aggressive. Enter Harry Price, Britain’s most famous paranormal investigator. Armed with cameras, instruments, and a scientific mindset, Price sets out to prove—or disprove—the haunting once and for all. What he discovers changes everything. Through a combination of supernatural communication and archaeological excavation, Price uncovers human remains buried beneath the rectory—evidence that appears to validate centuries-old accounts of a murdered woman seeking recognition. For the first time in decades… the activity changes. It quiets. As if something has finally been heard. But the story doesn’t end there. In 1939, Borley Rectory is consumed by a mysterious fire—one that burns with unusual intensity and behavior, destroying much of the physical evidence while leaving behind more questions than answers. Was the fire accidental? Or was it… the final act of a haunting that had finally run its course? 🎧 Follow & Share If you’re drawn to stories where history and the supernatural collide: ⭐ Leave a five-star review 🎧 Follow The Devil Within wherever you listen 📲 Follow along on Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod 📲 And across the network: @eviocreative Share this episode with someone who loves true crime, paranormal history, and dark mysteries.

🎧 The Devil Within The Rectory of the Damned Episode 1: The House That Hell Built This week on The Devil Within, we begin a two-part investigation into one of the most famous hauntings in paranormal history: Borley Rectory in Essex, England—often called “the most haunted house in England.” The legend of Borley stretches back centuries to a medieval priory once built on the same ground. According to local lore, a young nun named Marie Lairre was murdered after attempting to flee with a monk, her body secretly buried on the monastery grounds. When Reverend Henry Bull built Borley Rectory in 1863 on the ruins of that priory, strange events reportedly began almost immediately. The Bull family described sightings of a mysterious woman in white walking the grounds, unexplained footsteps echoing through empty corridors, and a ghostly figure whose nightly route became known as “the nun’s walk.” For decades, Borley became one of Britain’s most documented hauntings. But when the Bull family era ended, the activity would take a darker turn. 🎧 Follow The Devil Within wherever you listen so you never miss an episode. ⭐ If you enjoy the show, please leave a five-star review—it helps new listeners discover the podcast. 📱 Follow us on: Instagram & TikTok: @thedevilwithinpod Facebook: The Devil Within YouTube: Evio Creative And share the episode with a friend who appreciates a good mystery… or a good scare.

🎧 The Ides of April The Last Handshake: The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin Episode 1: A Man of War Learns Peace Our new series on The Ides of April begins with the remarkable life of Yitzhak Rabin—a soldier shaped by war who ultimately became one of the most controversial advocates for peace in modern Israeli history. Born in Jerusalem in 1922 during the British Mandate, Rabin grew up in a land already defined by conflict. As a young man he joined the Palmach, the elite Jewish strike force that would later form the backbone of Israel’s military, and spent decades fighting in the wars that defined the early years of the Israeli state. Over time Rabin rose to become one of Israel’s most respected military leaders and eventually Prime Minister. But by the early 1990s, after a lifetime of war, he came to believe that military victories alone could not resolve the conflict with the Palestinians. That belief led to one of the most iconic—and controversial—moments in modern diplomacy. In 1993, Rabin stood on the White House lawn and shook hands with Yasser Arafat, formalizing the Oslo peace process. The gesture stunned the world and deeply divided Israel. Supporters saw courage and possibility. Critics saw betrayal. As political tensions escalated and extremist rhetoric intensified, Rabin continued pressing forward with negotiations. The episode ends on November 4, 1995, at a massive peace rally in Tel Aviv where Rabin joined the crowd in singing the “Song for Peace.” Minutes later, he would be shot. 🎧 Follow The Ides of April wherever you listen so you never miss an episode. ⭐ If you enjoy the show, please leave a five-star review—it helps more people discover the series. 📲 And follow us on YouTube and social media for additional historical content and behind-the-scenes material.

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger Week of March 16 Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, your weekly look across the Evio Creative Universe—from paranormal history and true crime to the strange stories lurking just beyond the headlines. This week we lean into the arrival of spring, a season long associated with ancient pagan traditions of renewal, rebirth, and the quiet promise that the world can start again. But first… 👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week This week’s story comes out of Florida, where prosecutors revealed disturbing details about two teenagers accused of plotting to murder a classmate as part of what investigators described as a “blood ritual.” Authorities allege the teens had been discussing the killing as a ritualistic act involving blood and symbolism. The plan, investigators say, wasn’t a spontaneous argument or schoolyard conflict—it was something darker and more deliberate. 👻 On The Devil Within This week we begin a two-part series exploring one of the most famous hauntings in British history: Borley Rectory in Essex, England. Often called “the most haunted house in England,” Borley Rectory became the focus of decades of ghost sightings, mysterious writings appearing on walls, phantom footsteps, and reports of a ghostly nun wandering the grounds. Priests, paranormal investigators, skeptics, and believers all attempted to explain the strange events reported there. And this week we begin unpacking the history behind one of the most infamous haunted houses ever recorded. 🕊️ On The Ides of April A brand-new historical series begins as well. This time we examine the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin—a moment that reshaped modern Middle Eastern politics. Thirty years later, Rabin’s murder remains one of the most consequential political assassinations of the modern era. Our series explores how the assassination unfolded, the unanswered questions that remain decades later, and the lasting impact of a peace effort that ended in tragedy. 🎙 Around the Evio Network Both Criminal Mischief and Taboo Treasures are dark this week. But Josh Wolf continues showing up every weekday with his daily podcast journal: Finding Me Josh invites listeners into an honest exploration of self-discovery, vulnerability, and personal growth, sharing the small moments and realizations that shape the journey toward becoming a better version of ourselves. 🎬 This Week in Horror Our horror pick this week is undertone (stylized in all lowercase), a 2025 Canadian horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason. In a unique creative choice, only two characters appear on screen—while the rest of the story unfolds entirely through voices and recordings, making the film’s sound design the true source of its horror. 🌐 Across the Evio Universe Thanks for joining us for this week’s Ledger.

🎧 The Devil WithinThe Castle of the Damned — Episode TwoThe Modern Awakening Some discoveries are meant to remain buried. After archaeologist Dr. Margaret Sinclair uncovered William de Soulis’s hidden chamber in 1987, her discovery electrified the academic world. The medieval texts and artifacts found beneath Hermitage Castle promised to revolutionize the study of occult practices in the Middle Ages. But the researchers who began translating de Soulis’s journals soon encountered something deeply disturbing. One by one, the scholars studying the manuscripts began to suffer strange and catastrophic fates. A research partner died suddenly after filling pages with symbols identical to those found in the necromancer’s journals. A linguist attempting to decode the texts suffered a complete psychological break.And Dr. Sinclair herself began documenting communications with the same supernatural entity that had once spoken to William de Soulis centuries earlier. The entity called itself The Teacher. And it was offering her the same bargain. In this episode we investigate: • The mysterious deaths and breakdowns of researchers studying the de Soulis journals• Dr. Sinclair’s growing obsession with supernatural experimentation• The terrifying moment when academic curiosity turned into spiritual vulnerability• The ritual Sinclair attempted to recreate William’s medieval pact• The disturbing evidence that the entity behind the bargain never disappeared When Dr. Sinclair was found dead in 1990, investigators discovered her apartment transformed into a ritual chamber—symbols carved into the walls and a lead-lined coffin built in the basement. But Sinclair’s ritual wasn’t designed to trap something. It was designed to release it. Today, Hermitage Castle remains closed following reports of unexplained activity and visitors experiencing strange psychological disturbances. And online communities continue to circulate fragments of the same journals that destroyed everyone who studied them. Because some knowledge doesn’t simply inform. It spreads. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts — The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf, and more — so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

The Devil WithinThe Castle of the Damned — Episode One: The Necromancer’s Bargain Episode Overview In 1987, an archaeological team investigating Hermitage Castle in the Scottish Borders made a discovery that would disturb historians, archaeologists, and paranormal investigators alike. Hidden beneath the castle’s great hall was a sealed chamber, untouched for centuries. Inside they found ritual symbols carved into the stone, shelves of forbidden texts, and a lead coffin covered in Latin inscriptions. Something inside had been trying to claw its way out. And according to medieval records… it once belonged to William de Soulis. This episode investigates the dark legend of William de Soulis — a fourteenth-century nobleman whose obsession with forbidden knowledge transformed his castle into what historians now believe may have been a ritual laboratory for necromantic experiments. We explore: The strange library of occult texts inherited by the de Soulis family William’s documented experiments attempting to communicate with supernatural entities His alleged bargain with an entity known only as “The Teacher” The gradual transformation of both the man and the castle itself Reports of supernatural architecture within Hermitage Castle — rooms and corridors behaving impossibly The violent events surrounding William’s death in 1320 The extraordinary measures taken by monks to seal his body in lead and stone But the story does not end with his death. Because when archaeologists reopened the hidden chamber in 1987… the coffin was no longer sealed. Themes in This Episode: The dangers of knowledge pursued without wisdom Medieval occult traditions hidden within historical records The intersection of ambition, scholarship, and supernatural belief Whether evil is invited… or discovered The excavation of Hermitage Castle revealed far more than medieval artifacts. It may have reawakened something. And the people who studied the discovery would soon begin to pay a terrible price. 💼 SPONSORS 🛋️ RULA Online therapy that takes your insurance.

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger Week of March 9 Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, the weekly dispatch from across the Evio Universe — where we catch you up on everything happening across the network and occasionally ask the kinds of questions that make you realize nobody is really in charge of anything. For example… Daylight Saving Time. Really? Still? We’re still doing this? Let’s do better, government. This week on The Devil Within, we travel to Scotland and investigate one of the most ominous places in the entire United Kingdom: Hermitage Castle. For centuries this fortress has been associated with demonic possession, violent hauntings, shadow figures, and enough verified paranormal encounters to make even experienced investigators take a step back and say, “You know what… maybe we’ll just admire this one from the parking lot.” This is the castle that guards what historians call the bloodiest valley in Britain. And if the accounts are even half true, Hermitage Castle might be one of the most paranormally active places in Europe. That’s this week on The Devil Within. Meanwhile on The Ides of April, we conclude our series Son of the Blade. For more than two thousand years historians have been arguing about the untimely death of Alexander the Great. One of the greatest military commanders in human history conquers most of the known world by the age of thirty-two… and then suddenly dies... Over on Criminal Mischief, we’re proud to re-release Episode One of The Shadow Girls. For many listeners around the world, this was the podcast that first introduced journalist Carolyn Ossorio to a global audience. There’s a reason we’re bringing this episode back — and that reason will be revealed during the episode itself. So if you’ve never heard The Shadow Girls, or if you remember the impact it had when it first premiered, don’t miss this one. Taboo Treasures is dark for the week — but the show will return soon with more strange, rare, and occasionally unsettling artifacts from history. Meanwhile comedian Josh Wolf is — as they say — here all week. His daily podcast and journal Finding Me continues to explore his personal journey of self-discovery, creativity, family life, comedy, and the strange process of figuring out who we are while we’re still in the middle of becoming it. And finally, in horror this week we have a fascinating adaptation coming to streaming. The Long Walk — based on Stephen King’s 1979 novel. The premise is simple and terrifying. In a dystopian version of the United States, fifty teenage boys are forced into a televised endurance competition. The rules are brutally straightforward. Each walker must maintain a pace of three miles per hour. If they slow down, they receive a warning. Three warnings… and soldiers execute them. That’s The Long Walk, coming soon to streaming. And that’s it for this week’s Devil’s Ledger. Thanks for listening… and we’ll see you this week across the Evio Universe. 💼 SPONSORS 🛋️ RULA Online therapy that takes your insurance.

🎧 The Ides of April Episode 3 — The Death of the Impossible Man In this episode, we follow the final months of Alexander the Great — from the long return from India to the glittering capital of Babylon, where the most powerful man in the world was already planning his next conquest. What begins as another banquet among generals soon turns into one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world: a sudden fever, a rapid decline, and the shocking death of a king who seemed almost impossible to kill. But Alexander’s death was only the beginning. With no clear heir and an empire stretching from Greece to India, the power he once held together begins to fracture. Generals maneuver, rumors spread, and suspicion quickly falls on those who stood to gain the most from his disappearance. Was this the natural end of a man exhausted by years of conquest… Or the quiet removal of a ruler who had become too powerful to survive? In This Episode • The brutal desert march that nearly destroyed Alexander’s army • The political tension between Macedonian veterans and rising Persian elites • The fever that struck after a banquet in Babylon • The final days of the most powerful man in the ancient world • Alexander’s famous last words: “To the strongest.” • The immediate struggle for control of the empire • The first whispers of poisoning and conspiracy Historical Hinge Moment When Alexander died in Babylon in 323 BCE, he left behind the largest empire the ancient world had ever seen — but no clear plan for who would rule it. Within a few years, his generals would begin a series of brutal wars that reshaped the ancient world and shattered the empire he had built. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts — The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf, and more — so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

The Devil Within Prayers for the Damned — Episode Two: The Exorcism That Broke the Church’s Silence In August 1928, Father Theophilus Riesinger arrived at a secluded convent in Earling, Iowa. He believed he was performing an exorcism. Instead, he walked into a spiritual war that had been building for 105 years. Episode Two documents the most detailed and widely reported exorcism in American history — a twenty-three-day ordeal that tested the limits of ritual, endurance, and belief. This episode explores: Anna Ecklund’s condition upon arrival at the convent Reports of multiple entities speaking through her voice Supernatural strength, levitation, and unknown languages Psychological warfare against priests and nuns The emotional and physical toll on everyone involved A radical shift in strategy: instead of fighting the demons… allowing them to reveal themselves As the entities expose their methods and motives, a disturbing possibility emerges: Anna isn’t just possessed. She’s a spiritual anchor — the center of a network of damage spread over decades. The Turning Point Father Riesinger abandons traditional exorcism. Instead of resistance, he allows full manifestation — a dangerous gamble that ultimately reveals the limits of the forces inside her. On December 23, 1928, at 3:17 PM, Anna speaks in her own voice for the first time in more than a century. The voices are gone. But the victory comes at a cost. Themes in This Episode The psychological toll of prolonged spiritual conflict Institutional faith pushed to its breaking point The idea that some possessions are transformations, not conditions A haunting question: If suffering defines a person, what remains when it’s removed? Anna lived twelve more years after the exorcism — quiet, withdrawn, and described by witnesses as spiritually “translucent.” Saved. But never the same. Call to Action If this story challenged your understanding of faith, evil, and the human mind: Because sometimes the real horror isn’t possession… It’s the price of being set free. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts — The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf, and more — so you never miss a new episode. 📺 WATCH & SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE You can now watch full video episodes, clips, and exclusives from all Evio Creative shows on YouTube. 👉 Subscribe to Evio Creative on YouTube and turn on notifications so you don’t miss new drops across the network. 📲 FOLLOW ON SOCIAL Follow for updates, visuals, and behind-the-scenes content: • @thedevilwithinpod • @idesofaprilpod • @eviocreative • @findingmewithjoshwolf (Instagram, TikTok & Facebook) ✉️ GET IN TOUCH Have a story, tip, correction, or something you think we should cover?

The Devil Within Prayers for the Damned — Episode One: The Girl Who Wouldn’t Stay Saved At 3:17 AM, the screaming stopped. For twenty-three days, a convent in Earling, Iowa endured sounds that tested the limits of faith — inhuman voices, violent manifestations, and a woman whose suffering stretched back more than a century. But the story of Anna Ecklund didn’t begin in America. It began in a remote Austrian village… with a father’s betrayal. Episode Overview In Episode One, we follow the origins of what would become America’s most documented case of demonic possession. This episode explores: Emma Schmidt’s childhood in 19th-century Austria The abuse and trauma that preceded her first possession in 1823 Early exorcism attempts by local priests Strange phenomena: foreign languages, supernatural knowledge, violent reactions to sacred objects The role of occult practices allegedly performed by her father and a local witch The growing isolation of a family marked by fear, shame, and suspicion The Church’s early failures — and the long shadow those failures would cast As Emma becomes Anna Ecklund and emigrates to America, her symptoms disappear for years… until the darkness returns — stronger, more organized, and waiting. Themes in This Episode The intersection of trauma, faith, and possession Generational sin and spiritual consequence When religious intervention fails — and what that does to belief How a single case can ripple through communities, clergy, and institutions What Comes Next By 1928, Anna is sixty-nine years old. The Church prepares for one final attempt. It will take twenty-three days. And it will change how the Catholic Church understands possession forever. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts — The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf, and more — so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

The Devil’s Ledger Week of March 2 Winter is doing what winter does — and depending on where you live, it’s doing a lot of it. If you’re under 35 and living in the Northeast, this may be the coldest winter of your life. In parts of the Southwest, it might be the warmest. Here in Los Angeles, it’s been suspiciously perfect. Sorry to our friends back East. The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week Apparently, Bigfoot is alive and well… and wandering along power line clearings in the Upper Midwest. Multiple sightings, same week. Tall, broad, covered in dark hair, walking upright before disappearing into the tree line. Either it’s misidentification — or something out there really prefers utility access roads. On The Devil Within We begin a two-part series on the possession of Anna Ecklund, one of the most documented exorcism cases in American history — a story that may connect back more than a century and across an ocean. On The Ides of April Alexander reaches Egypt and starts naming everything after himself — cities, allies, probably his lunch — until his exhausted army finally refuses to follow him any farther toward India. On Criminal Mischief Carolyn covers the trial of Kouri Richins, the mother who wrote a children’s grief book after her husband’s death — and now stands accused of causing it. On Taboo Treasures The guys dig into the long history of executions — and how capital punishment has become one of the most politically charged debates of our time. On Finding Me with Josh Wolf Josh continues his daily pursuit of accountability, honesty, and becoming the best version of himself — one uncomfortable truth at a time. This Week in Horror The Bride! reimagines the Frankenstein story in 1930s Chicago, starring Christian Bale, Jesse Buckley, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Follow The Devil’s Ledger for weekly updates from across the Evio universe — and share it with someone who likes their news with a darker edge. Because sometimes the strangest stories aren’t legends. They’re the ones happening right now. 💼 SPONSORS 🛋️ RULA Online therapy that takes your insurance.

The Devil Within Wings of Prophecy — Part Two: The Final Witnesses At 5:04 PM on December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed into the Ohio River. In less than a minute, forty-six lives were lost. But in the days leading up to the disaster, the people of Point Pleasant believed they had been watching something — or something had been watching them. In Part Two of Wings of Prophecy, we follow the Mothman legend to its devastating conclusion, tracing the final sightings, the growing sense of unease across the town, and the tragedy that forever linked folklore with one of America’s deadliest infrastructure failures. Mothman 2 As winter closed in, witnesses reported that the sightings were changing. The creature that once appeared suddenly and vanished just as quickly now lingered in plain sight — perched, watching, almost as if standing vigil. One of the final reported encounters came just days before the collapse. By then, Point Pleasant had transformed. National attention brought curiosity seekers, investigators, and skeptics. Businesses leaned into the legend. Others resented the spectacle. Beneath it all, anxiety spread — strange dreams, unusual animal behavior, and a growing sense that something was wrong. Then came the engineering reality. Unseen inside the bridge’s structure, a microscopic crack in a critical steel component had been growing for months — invisible to inspections at the time. Each passing vehicle added stress. Each day brought the structure closer to failure. On a December evening filled with Christmas shoppers, commuters, and families heading home, that hidden flaw reached its breaking point. The collapse was sudden. Catastrophic. Irreversible. In this episode: • The final reported Mothman sightings before the disaster • How Point Pleasant changed during thirteen months of national attention • The structural failure that caused the Silver Bridge collapse • Eyewitness accounts from the moments before and after the tragedy • How folklore and trauma became permanently intertwined in the community In the aftermath, the sightings stopped. The creature was never reported again. But the legend remained — not just as a monster story, but as a way for a grieving community to make sense of sudden, senseless loss. Because sometimes the mystery isn’t whether something supernatural happened. Sometimes the mystery is how people survive what did. 📲 FOLLOW ON SOCIAL Follow for updates, visuals, and behind-the-scenes content: • @thedevilwithinpod • @idesofaprilpod • @eviocreative • @findingmewithjoshwolf (Instagram, TikTok & Facebook) 💼 SPONSORS 🛋️ RULA Online therapy that takes your insurance.

The Devil Within Wings of Prophecy — Part One: The Watchers in the Dark Something was watching Point Pleasant. Before the headlines. Before the legend. Before the bridge fell. In Part One of Wings of Prophecy, we begin a two-part investigation into one of the most chilling and enduring mysteries in American folklore — the wave of strange sightings that gripped a small West Virginia town in the thirteen months before tragedy struck. The story begins on a quiet November night in 1967, when four young people driving near an abandoned TNT plant encountered something impossible: a towering, winged figure with glowing red eyes that appeared to follow their car at highway speeds. What they reported would become the first of dozens of sightings. And the beginning of something far bigger than a local ghost story. As word spread, more witnesses came forward. A respected barber described strange lights — and the disappearance of his dog. Residents reported massive shapes flying over roads, perching on rooftops, and watching from the darkness beyond town. Law enforcement took statements. A journalist arrived. The story spread. And slowly, the community began to divide — believers and skeptics, fear and ridicule, curiosity and dread. But beneath the growing legend was something deeper: A town beginning to feel watched. Studied. Waited for. In this episode: • The first terrifying encounter near the TNT area • Deputy Halstead’s investigation and the growing number of eyewitness reports • The arrival of reporter Mary Hyre and the national attention that followed • Strange animal behavior, unexplained lights, and escalating fear • How the legend of the Mothman took hold inside a community under pressure Because sometimes the most powerful monsters aren’t just what people see. They’re what fear does to a town. And while residents debated whether the creature was real… something else was happening in Point Pleasant. Something no one could see. A microscopic flaw inside the Silver Bridge — slowly growing, quietly weakening the structure that held the town together. Thirteen months later, that bridge would collapse into the Ohio River in less than sixty seconds, killing 46 people. And the question that still haunts the town remains: Was the Mothman a warning… Or was it simply waiting? 🎧 Follow The Devil Within so you don’t miss Part Two of Wings of Prophecy. ⭐ If this episode stayed with you, leave a review — it helps more people discover the show. 📲 Share this episode with someone who loves stories where folklore, fear, and reality collide. 📺 WATCH & SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE You can now watch full video episodes, clips, and exclusives from all Evio Creative shows on YouTube. 👉 Subscribe to Evio Creative on YouTube and turn on notifications so you don’t miss new drops across the network. 📲 FOLLOW ON SOCIAL Follow for updates, visuals, and behind-the-scenes content: • @thedevilwithinpod • @idesofaprilpod • @eviocreative • @findingmewithjoshwolf (Instagram, TikTok & Facebook) And remember: Sometimes the most unsettling mysteries aren’t the ones we see coming… they’re the ones that unfold quietly, right in front of us. 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.
