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.

🎧 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.

🎧 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 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 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.

The Devil in the Painting In the Alps, faith and fear have always lived close together. In this episode of The Devil Within, we travel to a quiet sanctuary in northern Italy — a place where generations have climbed in search of healing, protection, and answers when suffering felt too heavy to carry alone. In 1731, a woman from the surrounding region was brought to the hilltop church at Madonna di Pinè after her behavior began to change in ways her family could not understand. Sudden outbursts. Withdrawal. A voice that no longer sounded like her own. In a world without modern psychological language, her condition was understood the only way people knew how: Something had taken hold of her. What followed was a solemn ritual of exorcism — not spectacle, but prayer, command, and communal fear. Witnesses later described a moment during the rite when something dark and serpentine seemed to leave her body. Whether miracle, misinterpretation, or a psychological turning point shaped by belief, the event left a permanent mark. A small ex-voto painting inside the sanctuary still depicts the moment: a priest at prayer, a woman in distress, and a shadowed form emerging as if suffering itself had been given a shape. But this episode goes beyond the question of what happened. Because possession stories, across cultures and centuries, often reveal something deeper — a human need to separate pain from identity. To believe that darkness is something on us, not something we are. To see suffering as something that can be confronted… and expelled. In the harsh Alpine world — where avalanches, illness, and long winters reminded communities how little they controlled — that kind of narrative wasn’t superstition. It was survival. As the Winter Olympics conclude and the crowds leave the mountains behind, this episode explores the older stories that still live there — stories of fear, faith, and the enduring hope that even the most invisible suffering can loosen its grip. Because sometimes the most powerful miracle isn’t the disappearance of the unknown. It’s the belief that healing is possible. 🎧 Call to Action If this story stayed with you: ⭐ Follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode 📝 Leave a rating or review — it helps others discover the show 🔁 SHARE THE SHOW If you know someone who loves true crime, history, horror, or stories that refuse to let go — share the episode.

⛪ The Devil Within — Episode 3: The Battle No One Sees The Winter Olympics celebrate control — bodies trained to precision, minds sharpened to the edge of physics, every movement calculated against gravity and risk. But in the shadow of those same Alpine peaks, another kind of battle has been unfolding for centuries. One without medals. Without spectators. Without a finish line. This week, The Devil Within turns inward. We travel to northern Italy, near the slopes and valleys that have long shaped both faith and folklore, to the Sanctuary of Monte Berico overlooking Vicenza. A place of prayer for generations — and, in recent years, the setting of a reported exorcism that left witnesses shaken and clergy emotionally drained. This episode explores a case that moved quietly through layers of scrutiny before a formal rite was performed. Those close to the woman at the center of the story described personality changes, emotional volatility, and distress that resisted conventional treatment. What followed inside the stone walls of the sanctuary was not spectacle, but hours of prayer, repetition, exhaustion, and uncertainty. We examine: • How the modern Catholic Church approaches exorcism with caution and psychological screening • Why Alpine communities often interpret suffering through both spiritual and folkloric lenses • The emotional strain on those present during prolonged religious rites • The thin, uneasy line between spiritual belief and mental health realities • What possession stories may reveal about the fragility of identity and the human need for meaning in moments of internal chaos Rather than focusing on dramatic portrayals, this episode sits with the quieter, more unsettling questions. What does it feel like when a person no longer feels at home in their own mind? Why do cultures across time describe that experience as something foreign taking hold? And how do faith, ritual, and psychology all attempt — in their own ways — to bring someone back to themselves? In a region where the mountains constantly remind people that control is never absolute, it may not be surprising that some believe struggle can come from within just as easily as from storm or avalanche. The Alps remain vast. The sanctuary remains still. And somewhere between belief and biology lies a story that resists easy answers. 🎧 Listen Now If this episode stayed with you: ⭐ Follow The Devil Within so you never miss a story 📝 Leave a rating or review — it helps others find the show 📲 Share this episode with someone who’s fascinated by the intersection of faith, psychology, and the unexplained 🌙 And join us next time as we step deeper into the shadows where history, belief, and fear meet. 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of February 9 Show Notes Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, your weekly guide to everything happening across the Evio Creative Network. This week, we open with a show of support for Team USA as they compete on the world stage at the 2026 Winter Olympics — a reminder of what preparation, discipline, and pressure can produce at the highest level. The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week The Storm That Buried Iran In February 1972, a blizzard dropped as much as 26 feet of snow across parts of Iran — the deadliest winter storm in recorded history. Entire villages disappeared. More than 4,000 people died. Rescue teams arrived to find a landscape flattened into silence — towns erased beneath smooth fields of snow. Survivors later described shapes moving in the whiteout, voices outside buried homes, and dark figures appearing at the edges of the storm. Science offers explanations — hypothermia, oxygen deprivation, sensory distortion. But knowing the science doesn’t make it less terrifying. Because when a storm buries entire communities and leaves nothing behind but silence… it begins to feel less like weather. And more like something that came looking for the living. On The Devil Within This week’s episode takes us to the historic sanctuary at Monte Berico, where an alleged exorcism took place in 2010. What makes this case especially unsettling isn’t folklore or legend — it’s the documentation. Witnesses. Church involvement. Medical oversight. And a sequence of events that remains difficult to explain. Atmospheric, grounded, and deeply unsettling, this is a story that lives in the uneasy space between faith and the unknown. On The Ides of April We begin a two-part series on the assassination of Philip II of Macedon — and what may be one of history’s greatest strategic miscalculations. The conspirators believed they were ending a growing threat to the Greek world. Instead, they cleared the path for a twenty-year-old successor: Alexander the Great. History has a word for that outcome. Oops. On Criminal Mischief At the moment, Carolyn is reportedly celebrating somewhere in the Pacific Northwest after the Seattle Seahawksdelivered a decisive victory over the New England Patriots. We expect normal programming to resume once the celebration — and possibly the parade — concludes. Daily: Finding Me with Josh Wolf Josh Wolf continues his daily check-ins, blending humor, vulnerability, and honest self-reflection that has quickly become part of listeners’ everyday routines. Real. Relatable. And absolutely can’t miss. This Week in Horror In honor of its record-breaking awards recognition, this week’s pick is the vampire thriller Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan. Now streaming on HBO Max, it delivers atmosphere, intensity, and enough supernatural dread to make your head spin. 🎧 Call to Action ⭐ Subscribe so you never miss a show 📲 Share The Devil’s Ledger with someone who loves great storytelling 📝 Rate and review — it helps more listeners find the Evio Creative Network Here’s to a great, productive week — full of Olympic moments and unforgettable stories. 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.
