🕯️ 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. 📌 CHAPTERS     1.    The Mask of Gloom     2.    Zero at the Bone     3.    The Line Through the Woods 📣 CALLS TO ACTION 🔔 Follow & subscribe to The Devil Within 💬 Rate & review the show 📸 IG: @thedevilwithinpod 📧 Your theories: info@eviocreative.com 🎧 Explore the entire Evio Creative network 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.

🕯️ 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. 📣 • IG: @thedevilwithinpod • @eviocreative • @idesofaprilpod • Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your shows • Leave a rating & review — it truly helps • Share this episode with someone who loves true crime, dark history, or the paranormal 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.

🔥 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. 📼 Follow The Devil Within wherever you listen. Rate, review, and share with someone who loves the strange, the terrifying, and the stories that stay with you long after the credits roll. Visit eviocreative.com for network updates.

🔥 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. 📼 If these stories pull you in — or if they’re starting to pull at you — follow, rate, and review The Devil Within.

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.

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.

🩸 THE DEVIL WITHIN THE GIRL IN THE RED COAT EPISODE TWO: Where the Woods Keep Their Secrets (Chapters 4–6)In Episode Two, we descend deeper into Glastenbury’s shadow—where folklore tightens into pattern, where disappearances begin to echo one another, and where Paula’s story becomes part of something older than any hiker who has ever stepped onto that mountain. Across three haunting chapters, we explore: CHAPTER 4 — Patterns in the Dark The chilling sequence of vanishings that predate and follow Paula: seasoned woodsman Middie Rivers, veteran James Tedford, eight-year-old Paul Jepson, and hiker Frieda Langer. Five disappearances. Five years. All circling the same mountain. A shape emerges… and with it, the birth of the “Bennington Triangle.” CHAPTER 5 — The Hunger Beneath the Pines Sightings. Lights. Voices in the fog. The hush—total, unnatural silence that swallows the world whole. Shadow figures pacing hikers. A girl in a red coat seen gliding across unbroken snow. The deeper people look, the more the mountain seems to look back. CHAPTER 6 — The Last Light on the Trail The legend grows. A mountain with memory. A trail that shifts like a living organism. A red coat glimpsed between trees at dusk. And the haunting possibility that Paula—like so many before and after her—did not fall victim to accident, but to a presence older, colder, and infinitely patient. CALL TO ACTION (Episode Two) If Paula’s story lingers with you long after this episode ends, share the show, follow, rate, and review The Devil Within.

🩸 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 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. 👉 If you have any information related to this case, email: ⁠info@eviocreative.com⁠ 🛒 SPONSOR SHOUT-OUTS Supporting our sponsors helps support all Evio Creative productions: Quince — luxury without the markup 👉 ⁠quince.com/DEVILWITHIN for free shipping & 365-day returns Mint Mobile — premium wireless for $15/month 👉 ⁠mintmobile.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ ExpressVPN — privacy everywhere 👉 ⁠expressvpn.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ for up to 4 months free MOOD — legal THC & CBD shipped nationwide 👉 ⁠mood.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ for 20% off Ollie — fresh, human-grade dog food 👉 ⁠ollie.com/IDES⁠ for 60% off Monarch — the modern personal finance hub 👉 ⁠monarch.com/IDES⁠ for 50% off your first year If you enjoy these worlds of true crime, dark history, paranormal legend, and cinematic storytelling, help us grow:     •    Follow, rate, and review The Devil’s Ledger     •    Visit ⁠eviocreative.com⁠     •    Follow us on Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod • @eviocreative • @idesofaprilpod • @taboo_treasures Your support keeps the stories alive.

🎧 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. ⚖️ Chapter 4 — The Trial of a Horror Fan 🔪 Chapter 5 — The Violence Doesn’t End Here 🪞 Chapter 6 — The Devil in the Mirror 🎙️ Written & Hosted by: Branden Morgan 🎚️ Produced by: Evio Creative / Bellaire Studios 🎵 Sound Design & Score: The Evio Collective 💬 Call to Action: If you finished this story and felt something staring back — that’s the point.

🎧 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. 🩸  Chapter 1 — The Film in His Head 🩸  Chapter 2 — The Game Begins 🩸  Chapter 3 — Lessons in Fire and Blood 🎙️ Written & Hosted by: Branden Morgan 🎚️ Produced by: Evio Creative / Bellaire Studios 🎵 Sound Design & Score: The Evio Collective 💬 Call to Action: If this story left you uneasy — good.

🎙️ 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. 📡 Evio Creative Network Spotlight 🜏 The Devil Within A chilling new two-part series on Sean Sellers, the Oklahoma teen who claimed demonic possession led him to murder — and who became the last juvenile executed in modern U.S. history. ⛪ The Ides of April Part one of The Dagger and the Crown — the assassination of Francisco Pizarro.

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. 🎧 Follow & ReviewSubscribe and leave a review — your voice brings others into the chapel and the courtroom. 🕯 Evio Creative Network • The Devil’s Ledger • The Ides of April • Criminal Mischief • Taboo Treasures Follow: @thedevilwithinpod • @eviocreative 🛠 Sponsor Shout-Outs • Quince → quince.com/DEVILWITHIN • Mint Mobile → mintmobile.com/DEVILWITHIN • ExpressVPN → expressvpn.com/DEVILWITHIN • MOOD → mood.com/DEVILWITHIN • Ollie → ollie.com/IDES • Monarch → monarch.com/IDES Support the storytellers that keep the lights low and the truth sharp. 🔮 Next Week on The Devil Within A new case begins — whispered prayers in a borrowed room, obsession disguised as prophecy, and a community that learns fear can bloom anywhere faith does.

🜏 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.” 🎧 Listen, Rate, Review Follow The Devil Within wherever you listen to podcasts.

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger - Week of Nov. 3rd. 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? Tonight, we ride along. 🔎 This Week on the Evio Network 🜏 The Devil Within A chilling new two-part series on Sean Sellers, the Oklahoma teen who claimed demonic possession drove him to murder — the last juvenile executed in modern U.S. history. ⛪ The Ides of April We conclude the epic saga of Pope John VIII, the first pope assassinated in office — a tale of power, betrayal, and a Vatican learning the limits of divine protection. 💎 Taboo Treasures “Smart Phones, Dumb People” — Bruce Witkin & Jeff Levine trace our evolution from rotary phones to glowing rectangles and ask: Did our devices get smarter, or did we get dumber? 🏚 Criminal Mischief “FEAR” — Carolyn Ossorio tells the chilling true story of Byron Smith, the Minnesota homeowner whose self-defense turned into a deadly ambush. 🎬 This Week in Horror 🧟 Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein Beautiful, grotesque, and haunting — a visionary retelling reminding us monsters aren’t born… they’re made. 👵☠️ Dorothea: Portrait of a Killer Granny The unsettling true story of Dorothea Puente, who allegedly turned her boarding house into a graveyard and cashed the checks of the dead. 🛠️ Sponsors Support the storytellers who keep the shadows close:     •    Quince — timeless essentials without luxury markups 👉 quince.com/DEVILWITHIN     •    Mint Mobile — premium wireless for $15/month 👉 mintmobile.com/DEVILWITHIN     •    ExpressVPN — online privacy & security 👉 expressvpn.com/DEVILWITHIN     •    MOOD — legal THC & CBD delivered nationwide 👉 mood.com/DEVILWITHIN     •    Ollie Dog Food — human-grade meals for dogs 👉 ollie.com/IDES     •    Monarch — powerful personal finance platform 👉 monarch.com/IDES 📣 Follow & Subscribe Explore more from Evio Creative:     •    The Devil Within     •    The Devil’s Ledger     •    Criminal Mischief     •    Taboo Treasures     •    The Ides of April Follow for drops & behind-the-scenes: @eviocreative · @thedevilwithinpod · @idesofaprilpod · @taboo_treasures Stay curious, stay skeptical… and stay out of the woods at night.

🕯️ 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 💀 Credits Written and hosted by Branden Morgan Produced by Evio Creative in association with Bellaire Studios Original score and sound design by [Engineer Name] For press or partnerships, visit eviocreative.com (https://www.eviocreative.com/) 🕯️ Sponsor Shoutouts Support The Devil Within and all Evio Creative shows by visiting our partners: 🧥 Quince — timeless essentials at honest prices.

🕯️ The Devil Within — A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part One) Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network This week, The Devil Within reaches the closing chapter of its season one re-release in support of the upcoming MGM+ docuseries Let the Devil In. In A Prayer in Spring: REDUX (Part One), Branden reflects on the final full episode of the original series — an episode that blends poetry, tragedy, and geography into a meditation on grief and faith in Jefferson Township. 🎙️ Poetry Corner with Branden: “A Prayer in Spring” by Robert Frost The episode begins where it all began — with a poem. Robert Frost’s “A Prayer in Spring” becomes the anchor for a discussion of gratitude, impermanence, and surrender — how Frost’s plea to “keep us here, all simply, in the springing of the year” mirrors the Sullivans’ own brief, fragile peace before tragedy struck. Branden unpacks Frost’s lesser-known work and its place within the poet’s canon, contrasting its gentle acceptance with the melancholy of “Stopping by Woods,” “The Road Not Taken,” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” “It’s not joy Frost struggles with — it’s permission. Permission to enjoy something beautiful without waiting for it to end.” 109 Redux 🌲 The Newark Watershed The episode then turns to the land itself. Branden explores the Newark Watershed, a vast system of reservoirs and protected forest that spans 35,000 acres across Sussex, Morris, and Passaic counties — explaining how the isolation of this region helped shape the haunting stillness that defines northern New Jersey. “When people think of New Jersey and the only images conjured are Newark or Atlantic City… get up north and you’ll see why it’s called The Garden State.” 109 Redux 🕯️ The Sullivan Family’s Unfinished Story Finally, the episode revisits the Sullivan family’s grim aftermath. Years after Tommy Sullivan’s death, tragedy continued to follow.     •    His brother Brian died by suicide just over a decade later.     •    His aunt, Betty Ann’s sister, left behind her entire life after seeing the crime scene photos — and spent the next twenty years living as a cloistered nun. Branden recounts how investigators later tracked down members of the family and uncovered new, disturbing details about Tom Sullivan Sr., whose life and secrets take center stage in next week’s Part Two. “It seems the family just can’t escape tragedy — like it was written in blood in some cosmic contract that began that night.” 109 Redux 🔥 Next Time Part Two reveals what became of Tom Sullivan Sr. — the man at the heart of it all — and why his story changes everything you thought you knew about The Devil Within. 💀 Credits Written and hosted by Branden Morgan Produced by Evio Creative in association with Bellaire Studios Original music and sound design by [Engineer Name] For press or partnerships, visit eviocreative.com (https://www.eviocreative.com/) 🕯️ Sponsor Shoutouts Support The Devil Within and all Evio Creative shows by visiting our partners: 🧥 Quince — timeless essentials at honest prices.

⛪ 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 💀 Credits Written and narrated by Branden Morgan Produced by Evio Creative in partnership with Bellaire Studios Sound design and original score by [Audio Engineer Name] For press or partnerships, visit eviocreative.com (https://www.eviocreative.com/) 🕯️ Sponsor Shoutouts Support The Keys of Blood and every Evio Creative series by visiting our partners: 🧥 Quince — timeless essentials at honest prices.

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of October 27th Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network This week, The Devil’s Ledger dives headfirst into Halloween season with one of the eeriest true stories ever told — the tragic case of The Hanging Decoration. 🕯️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: A Delaware neighborhood wakes up the morning after Halloween to find what they think is a particularly realistic decoration hanging from a tree. It isn’t. In this haunting story from 2005, Branden explores how real horror can hide in plain sight — and what it says about our need to keep death at a safe distance, especially on the one night we pretend to welcome it. 🔥 This Week Across the Evio Creative Network     •    The Devil Within — The re-release of Season One concludes with Episode Nine: A Prayer in Spring. Branden takes a deeply personal journey through the aftermath of the Tommy Sullivan murder-suicide, reflecting on faith, forgiveness, and how Jefferson Township has changed in the decades since that night.     •    The Ides of April — Alec Baldwin narrates the brand-new two-part story “The Assassination of Pope John VIII.” A pope murdered by his own court in 882 A.D. — who killed him, why, and how that single act reshaped both the Catholic Church and all of Europe.     •    Taboo Treasures — Bruce Witkin and Jeff Levine explore “Halloween in Hollywood.” The origins of the slasher genre, the famous actors who got their start in horror films, and a deep dive into John Carpenter’s classic Halloween.     •    Criminal Mischief — Carolyn Ossorio delivers a chilling Halloween homage to The Amityville Horror House. The 1974 murder of six family members, and the haunting that drove the Lutz family out just 28 days later. 🎥 This Week in Horror & Suspense On Netflix, Taken in Plain Sight has climbed to #2 — a true-crime documentary that’s not technically horror, but every parent’s worst nightmare: a story of abduction, manipulation, and the evil that lives next door. And premiering On Demand this week — Bitter Taste, a neo-gothic slasher with an occult twist. When a former athlete is trapped in the clutches of an undead countess and her cursed fellowship, she must rely on her instincts — and an unlikely alliance with a cynical fisherman and a grumpy cop — to survive a cannibalistic manhunt. 💀 Sponsor Shoutouts A special thank-you to the partners who keep The Devil’s Ledger and every Evio Creative show alive: 🧥 Quince — timeless essentials at honest prices.

👹 The Devil Within — Nothing Gold Can Stay: REDUX Robert Frost wrote that “Nothing gold can stay.” It’s only eight lines long, but inside those lines is a lifetime: birth, decline, grief, and the eternal fall from innocence. In this special Redux edition, I break down Frost’s masterpiece—its rhythm, its ache, and the hidden theology within the line “So Eden sank to grief.” Behind that quiet phrasing lies the ancient idea of the Felix Culpa—the fortunate fall, the notion that through tragedy comes salvation. We’ll also revisit how this fragile little poem found new life on screen in The Outsiders, becoming a cinematic elegy for youth, decay, and the inevitable end of innocence. And then, the darkness returns. Because in the final days before the Clinton Road murder-suicide, Tommy Sullivan claimed he saw something staring back at him from the mirror. Something that wasn’t him. When the Catholic Church learned of what Tommy described, the fear was immediate—and absolute. 🎧 Listen now to The Devil Within — where true crime meets the supernatural. 🩸 From the Evio Network Catch every story from Evio Creative—where history, horror, and humanity converge:     •    🩸 The Devil Within — dark true crime and possession.     •    ⚔️ The Ides of April — Alec Baldwin narrates the fall of empires.     •    🏺 Taboo Treasures — forbidden relics and the people who chase them.     •    💀 The Devil’s Ledger — your weekly dispatch from the underworld.     •    🔪 Criminal Mischief — where motive meets madness.

🎙️ The Devil Within — “Acquainted With the Night: REDUX — Part Two” In this companion to last week’s episode, host Branden Morgan continues the exploration of Robert Frost’s haunting poem and its connections to the dark philosophies that shaped the life — and legacy — of Tommy Sullivan. This week, we turn our focus to The Rule of Three: an ancient principle that threads its way through Pagan ritual, Renaissance magic, and even the modern worlds of advertising, literature, and comedy writing. Why do ideas, stories, and symbols presented in threes hold such uncanny power over us? From Wiccan law to corporate slogans, from fairy tales to the structure of a perfect punchline, the Rule of Three may be the oldest spell we still unconsciously cast. Along the way, Branden examines how this pattern of repetition and consequence reemerges in Sullivan’s story — and why the “thrice-fold return” might be more than metaphor. 🔥 In This Episode     •    The Pagan origins of the Rule of Three and its relationship to early moral law.     •    How the concept evolved through Christian mysticism, medieval witchcraft, and Golden Dawn occultism.     •    Why modern culture—from marketing campaigns to sitcoms—still relies on the same timeless rhythm.     •    How it all ties back to Tommy Sullivan, The Devil Within, and the shadow he left behind. 💀 Sponsors & Offers     •    Mint Mobile — Cut your wireless bill to just $15 a month with unlimited talk and text.

🎙️ The Devil Within 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. 🕯️ Follow & Listen Follow The Devil Within for new episodes every week — available wherever you get your podcasts.

🎙️ 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 💼 Support Our Sponsors 🐾 Ollie — Because your dog deserves better than “dog food.” Take the quiz and try human-grade meals at www.ollie.com/devilwithin for 60% off your first box. 💰 Monarch Money — Smart, simple budgeting tools built for real people.

🎙️ 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 💼 Support Our Sponsors 🐾 Ollie — Because your dog deserves better than “dog food.” Take the quiz and try human-grade meals at www.ollie.com/ides for 60% off your first box. 💰 Monarch Money — Smart, simple budgeting tools built for real people.
