Details

The Devil Within is a cinematic podcast about the stories that refuse to die — the legends, disappearances, curses, and supernatural encounters that linger long after the world moves on. Each episode blends history, folklore, and investigation to explore what really happened… and why these stories still haunt us. From mythical creatures and haunted places, to strange crimes and unexplained phenomena, The Devil Within starts where the facts end — and the unanswered questions begin. New episodes weekly. Bring a light. You may need it. BINGE THE FIRST FOUR SEASONS NOW! Season 1: The Jersey Devil - The brutal slaying of BETTY ANN SULLIVAN shocked the small town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey. The violence of that evening shocked the nation for the perpetrator... was her own son, a boy of fourteen who would take his own life only hours later. What the investigation revealed left a community in tatters, unwilling to believe the evil that had befallen them. Season 2: The Demons of Yorkshire - In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England. After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michael’s personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price...  Season 3: A Season in Hell - In the late 1970's New York City had it all: Hip Hop, Punk Rock... and the Son of Sam. The third season of The Devil Within takes listeners into the belly of the beast and explores the wicked origins, reign of terror and ultimate capture of one of the most feared serial killers in history. With exclusive interviews from journalists, FBI agents, historians and mental health experts this season promises to be the most comprehensive - and most terrifying - account of how one man brought New York City to a standstill. Season 4: Satan's Shadow - In the 1980s, California learned that fear doesn’t always lurk in the dark. Sometimes, it walks right through the door. SATAN’S SHADOW follows the terrifying rise of Richard Ramirez — the Night Stalker — while tracing his crimes alongside Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. As Ramirez descends deeper into violence, we descend with him through Dante’s circles of hell, asking what happens to a city — and a soul — when darkness becomes a spectacle. Across nine episodes, each chapter pairs the facts of the case with a brief lesson from Dante: desire twisted into obsession, cruelty masquerading as power, betrayal, violence, and the chilling fascination that draws us closer instead of pushing us away. Because Ramirez didn’t just kill. He captivated. He made the world watch — and forced us to confront the part of ourselves that can’t look away. Bonus episodes explore the trial, aftermath, and the myths that followed — along with glimpses into Purgatorio and Paradiso, and whether redemption or meaning is possible after horror. SATAN’S SHADOW isn’t only about a murderer. It’s about a culture slowly walking toward darkness… and what it costs to climb back out.

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Twelve - The Study That Never Ended
What We Built... And What We Buried | The Study That Never Ended On this episode of The Devil Within, we close out Season Five—What We Built… And What We Buried—with one of the most disturbing and consequential chapters in American medical history: the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. What began in 1932 as a government-backed effort to study the progression of untreated syphilis was, at least on the surface, framed as something useful—even beneficial. Hundreds of poor Black men in rural Alabama were offered free medical care for what they were told was “bad blood.” But they were never told the truth. As the study continued, the men—many of them sharecroppers with limited access to education, healthcare, or economic mobility—were observed, tested, and subjected to painful procedures under the belief they were being treated. They weren’t. Then came the turning point. By the 1940s, penicillin had become a proven cure for syphilis. It should have ended the study. It should have saved lives. It didn’t. Instead, treatment was deliberately withheld—for decades. More than 400 men were left to suffer the full progression of the disease, not because doctors didn’t know better, but because they chose not to intervene. The study continued until 1972, when it was finally exposed by whistleblower Peter Buxtun and brought to national attention. The fallout was immediate—and lasting. Trust in medicine, particularly within Black communities, was deeply fractured. The doctor-patient relationship—built on transparency and informed consent—was forced into a reckoning that still shapes healthcare today. This isn’t just history. It’s a warning. What You’ll Hear in This Episode • How the Tuskegee Study began—and why it was initially justified • Who was targeted, and why sharecroppers were especially vulnerable • How misinformation (“bad blood”) was used to gain trust • The discovery of penicillin—and the decision to withhold it • The whistleblower who exposed the truth • How Tuskegee reshaped modern medical ethics and patient rights Listen & Follow If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, make sure you’re following The Devil Within so you never miss an episode.

What We Built... And What We Buried: Episode Eleven - The Mind We Tried To Break
🎧 THE DEVIL WITHIN What We Built… And What We Buried Episode 11: The Mind We Tried to Break What happens when the most private space we have—the human mind—becomes the target of experimentation? In Episode 11, we examine Project MKUltra, a classified U.S. government program designed to explore the limits of human consciousness, behavior, and control. Born out of Cold War paranoia, MKUltra pushed beyond ethical boundaries in pursuit of one question: Can the mind be broken… and rebuilt? Through a network of secret experiments, subjects—many of them unaware—were exposed to LSD, sensory deprivation, psychological stress, and other destabilizing techniques. Records were destroyed. Oversight was limited. And what remains is only a fragment of the full story. This episode explores: • The Cold War fear that sparked MKUltra • The methods used to alter perception and behavior • The role of consent—and the absence of it • The deliberate destruction of records in the 1970s • What we know… and what may never be known Because the true horror of MKUltra isn’t just what was done— It’s that it was justified. 🎧 Listen & Follow Follow The Devil Within wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Watch & Subscribe Full episodes on YouTube: Evio Creative 📲 Follow Instagram / TikTok / Facebook: @thedevilwithinpod 📩 Contact [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of June 8th.

The Devil's Ledger - Week of June 8th.
The Devil’s Ledger | Week of June 8th, 2026 On this week’s episode of The Devil’s Ledger, we kick things off with an honest—and slightly humbling—moment: a long-overdue shoutout to the New York Knicks. Not quite back on the bandwagon… but definitely watching with a mix of excitement and regret. Then we dive into The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week—a trip to Pine Bush, New York, home of the annual UFO Fair. What feels like a quirky small-town festival quickly reveals something deeper: decades of reported sightings, unexplained aerial phenomena, and a community that didn’t deny the stories… it embraced them. On The Devil Within Season Five—What We Built… And What We Buried—comes to a powerful close with two of the most disturbing government programs ever uncovered: • MK-Ultra • The Tuskegee Syphilis Study Two vastly different operations. One unsettling truth: what happens when institutions designed to protect people begin to use them instead? On Criminal Mischief After last week’s shocking case, Carolyn returns with something a little less graphic—but no less terrifying. Less gore.
More intrigue.
Same relentless tension. On The Culture of Criminal Cool Season One wraps this week—and it hits harder than expected. The story of Adam Diaz has never been just about crime. It’s about identity, power, and the cost of becoming the persona you create. And if you’re worried about what fills that slot next week… don’t be. On The Slippery Fresh off CrimeCon Las Vegas, Scott and Nancy are back with another deep dive into deception. New con.
New victim.
And another unraveling that proves—eventually—the truth always catches up. 🚨 NEW SHOW ALERT: Forever Young 🚨 From Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour of the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group comes Forever Young—a deep, behind-the-scenes look at: • Plastic surgery • Skincare • Longevity science With hundreds of episodes already available, this is your go-to resource for everything health, beauty, and aging at the highest level. Now part of the Evio Network. This Week in Horror A new trailer has dropped from horror legend Eli Roth: Ice Cream Man A twisted, throwback slasher concept—with a brutal twist: It’s not one killer. It’s dozens. Kids—turned into something else entirely. Dark. Chaotic. And looks like a wild ride. Listen & Follow Follow The Devil Within and The Devil’s Ledger wherever you get your podcasts.

What We Built… And What We Buried: Episode Ten - The Air That Turned Against Us
🎧 The Devil Within What We Built… And What We Buried Episode 10: The Air That Turned Against Us Some dangers are immediate. Others… Become part of the air. ❄️ The Problem Early refrigeration worked. But it was dangerous: • Toxic chemicals • Explosive leaks • Immediate, visible harm A safer solution was needed. 🧪 The Solution Once again, Thomas Midgley Jr. delivered: 👉 Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) They were: • Stable • Non-toxic • Non-flammable In every measurable way: 👉 Perfect 🌫️ The Shift And so they spread. Into: • Homes • Industry • The atmosphere itself Because stability… Doesn’t always mean containment. ☢️ The Discovery High above the Earth: • UV radiation broke down CFCs • Released chlorine atoms • Began destroying ozone Not instantly. But persistently. 🌍 The Consequence The ozone layer—Earth’s shield—began to thin. What once felt invisible… Became measurable. Then undeniable. 🧠 The Response For once, the system corrected itself: 👉 Global cooperation
 👉 The Montreal Protocol
 👉 Gradual phase-out of CFCs And over time… Signs of recovery. 😈 The Devil Within The Devil Within this story isn’t the chemical. It’s delay. Because by the time we understood the damage… 👉 It was already everywhere. 🔜 Next Episode Next, the pattern turns inward. Not machines.
Not atmosphere. 👉 People. 🎧 Listen & Follow 👉 Follow The Devil Within wherever you get your podcasts
