🎧 The Devil’s Ledger
Week of April 27
Welcome back. Hope everyone had a great week.
From graveyards to digital ghosts… this week’s stories don’t just cross boundaries—
They erase them.
🕯️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week
This week’s story starts where most stories should end… in a cemetery.
In Pennsylvania, authorities uncovered a case of repeated grave desecration—mausoleums broken into, vaults opened, and human remains removed over time. Not impulsively. Not randomly. But methodically. Dozens of bodies disturbed. Generations of the dead… handled like objects.
But as disturbing as that is, it’s not the part that lingers.
Because alongside it is something quieter… and arguably more unsettling:
The rise of what some are calling digital grave robbing.
AI recreating voices. Faces. Personalities. The dead—brought back not symbolically, but functionally. Used in media, content, even advertising… sometimes without consent.
It forces a question we’re not ready to answer:
At what point does preservation become violation?
🐊 This Week on The Devil Within
We head deep into the American South for a two-part series on the Fouke Monster—a swamp-dwelling cryptid out of Arkansas tied to a pattern of sightings that refuses to fade into myth.
This isn’t just about something in the woods.
It’s about proximity.
Because whatever people were dealing with in Fouke… it didn’t stay out there.
It came closer.
🏛️ On The Ides of April
A new series begins on the assassination of William McKinley—a moment remembered less for the presidency it ended…
…and more for the one it created.
Because waiting in the wings was Theodore Roosevelt.
This is the story of a single moment that reshaped the trajectory of American power.
🕵️♀️ On Criminal Mischief
Carolyn Ossorio continues her deep dive into Hollywood—the Seattle-based bank robber who somehow became both criminal and folk hero.
This week: the rise, the myth, and the reality behind the legend.
Because the truth…
Is always less cinematic.
And more dangerous.
🎙️ On Finding Me
Josh Wolf hit a few bumps last week.
But he keeps showing up.
And that’s the story.
Follow Finding Me every weekday—because growth isn’t clean, and it isn’t linear… but it’s real.
🕶️ On The Slippery
The newest Evio show is off to a strong start.
Each week, hosts Nancy and Scott break down a new case involving scammers, grifters, and the people who thought they could get away with it.
They didn’t.
Catch up now and stay current.
🎬 This Week in Horror
A major release from Warner Bros. Pictures:
The Mummy, directed by Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise) and produced by James Wan and Jason Blum.
This isn’t a remake—it’s a reinvention.
A body horror take on the classic legend, following a family terrorized by their daughter after she returns… eight years after going missing.
Grotesque. Violent. Uncomfortable.
Exactly what you want.

Episode Two: What Was Made Here
Every legend eventually reaches for an explanation.
This episode challenges it.
In Episode Two, we move beyond sightings and into something far more complicated — origin,
adaptation, and intention.
You’ve heard the story:
A train derailment.
Animals released into the swamp.
Time, isolation, and evolution doing the rest.
It’s neat.
It’s plausible.
And it might be completely unnecessary.
Because the real question isn’t how something got there…
It’s how something has remained.
As we explore the long-term effects of isolation, environmental adaptation, and behavioral
evolution, a different picture begins to emerge — one where elusiveness isn’t accidental… it’s
developed.
Where withdrawal isn’t fear…
It’s strategy.
And where the absence of evidence doesn’t mean nothing is there…
It may mean something has learned how not to be found.
Because if something understands its environment — and understands you within it — then
every sighting stops looking like an accident.
And starts looking like a choice.
🔥 On This Episode:
• The myth of the train derailment origin story
• Environmental adaptation and isolation theory
• Behavioral patterns that suggest awareness
• The difference between hiding… and choosing not to be seen
• Why the lack of evidence may not mean what we think it does🔗 Listen + Follow

🎧 The Devil Within
Episode One: Something in the Water
There are places that don’t just exist…
They endure.
In Episode One of The Devil Within, we enter the dense, shifting landscape of Honey Island
Swamp — a place where visibility is unreliable, sound is suppressed, and movement feels…
negotiated. It’s an environment built not for discovery, but for concealment.
And in a place like that…
Something could exist without ever needing to be fully seen.
This episode lays the foundation of one of America’s most persistent cryptid legends — the
Honey Island Swamp Monster. Through firsthand accounts, environmental analysis, and the
now-infamous 1974 footage captured by Harlan Ford, we begin to examine a pattern that refuses
to go away.
Not because it’s proven.
But because it won’t disappear.
Witnesses describe something massive. Upright. Always at a distance. Never aggressive. Never
chasing. Always withdrawing — but not in panic… in control.
And that detail changes everything.
Because if what people are seeing isn’t reacting…
Then maybe it’s aware.
🔥 On This Episode:
• The geography and psychology of Honey Island Swamp
• The 1974 footage and why it still matters
• Consistent witness patterns across decades
• Sensory anomalies: sound, smell, and silence
• The unsettling implication of controlled withdrawal

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger
Welcome back.
This week, we dive straight into something unsettling… and end with something big.
👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Miniwashitu
A story out of North Dakota — where winter isn’t just a season, it’s a presence.
The Miniwashitu isn’t something you see clearly. It’s something you feel. A shifting, ancient force tied to old traditions, said to emerge at the exact moment winter begins to loosen its grip.
No dramatic entrance. No clear form.
Just silence. A different kind of quiet. And something moving where nothing should be able to move.
Livestock disappear. Tracks appear in frozen ground. And then… it’s gone.
Spring follows.
Always.
Which raises the question: Is it a story that explains the changing seasons… or something that causes them?
🔥 Across the Evio Universe
🎙️ The Devil Within A two-part investigation into The Honey Island Swamp Monster — one of the most credible cryptid cases in America. Footprints, photos, and even 8mm footage. This one has receipts.
📜 The Ides of April We conclude our deep dive into the assassination of Olof Palme. The case is officially closed… and still officially unsolved. This final episode breaks down the leading theories — and why none of them fully land.
🚨 Criminal Mischief Carolyn Ossorio continues her series on “Hollywood,” the Seattle bank robber turned unlikely folk hero. Which… says more about us than it does about him.
🎤 Finding Me with Josh Wolf The show is evolving — more structure, more focus, and a deeper commitment to growth. Still raw. Still honest. Just sharper.
🆕 New Show Launch: The Slippery
From the creators of Scamanda, a new show has entered the network:
The Slippery — a weekly deep dive into some of the biggest scams and cons ever pulled.
This week: The Malibu Doctor Swindle — a grifting couple who infiltrate the life of a wealthy ophthalmologist… and slowly take everything.
It’s smart, unsettling, and exactly the kind of story that makes you question how easily people can be manipulated.

THE SLIPPERY
The con artists think they're untouchable. The fraudsters believe their schemes are foolproof. The scammers assume they'll never be caught. They're all dead wrong.
Welcome to The Slippery, where the most audacious scammers, mind-bending scandals, and elaborate schemes meet their match. Hosted by Nancy Moscatiello and Scott Eldridge—the investigative duo behind the explosive hit "Scamanda" podcast and acclaimed documentary series—this true crime podcast takes you inside the twisted minds of master manipulators and the devastating aftermath they leave behind.
Every case gets the deep-dive treatment across two episodes that reveal every angle of deception:
THE SLIPPERY: Nancy and Scott dissect each case from first lie to final reckoning, with one host pitching why this story deserves the Hollywood treatment—documentary series, limited series, or feature film.
THE SLIPPERY DEBRIEF: Raw, unscripted conversations with special guests who lived these schemes firsthand—victims, investigators, journalists, and insiders sharing revelations that never made official reports.
From elaborate Ponzi schemes to fake cancer fundraisers, from romance scams to corporate fraud, The Slippery exposes the schemes that prove truth is more shocking than any fiction Hollywood could create.
Because when it comes to deception, everyone thinks they're too smart to fall for it. Until they do.

🌑 Episode Two: The Creature That Science Couldn’t Explain
At some point, the fear changes.
It’s no longer about what’s out there.
It’s about what’s watching.
🔥 In This Episode:
The escalation from night attacks to broad daylight encounters
Evidence suggesting intelligence beyond animal behavior
Organized hunts involving over 100 armed men
The moment hunters finally see it—and fire
The creature’s impossible response
🔫 The Encounter
Six men. Clear shot. Fifty yards.
A bullet that should have ended it.
Did nothing.
And then—
It smiled.
Before turning, calmly, and walking into the river.
Gone.
🧠 The Shift
This wasn’t just a predator.
It was something that:
Studied human behavior
Avoided capture deliberately
Manipulated fear
Chose when—and how—to be seen
🌊 The Disappearance
Six weeks.
Dozens of animals.
Multiple witnesses.
And then—
Nothing.
No tracks. No bodies. No explanation.
🎯 The Takeaway
Some mysteries don’t fade.
They stop.
As if something decided…
It was finished.

🎧 The Devil Within
The Beast of Bladenboro
🩸 Episode One: The Vampire of Bladenboro County
It begins with silence.
A kind of silence that doesn’t belong in a place like Bladenboro, North Carolina.
A farm. Three dogs. Gone—overnight.
No struggle. No blood. Just small, precise puncture wounds… and bodies that should have contained something that was no longer there.
🧠 In This Episode:
The first documented attacks in January 1954
Veterinary analysis confirming complete exsanguination
The emergence of a pattern too precise to be random
Eyewitness reports of a creature that didn’t move like any known animal
The growing realization that this wasn’t natural predation
🧬 The Pattern
Every kill the same.
Healthy animals
No defensive wounds
No blood—anywhere
Not feeding. Not hunting.
Something else.
👁️ The First Sightings
A creature described as:
Dog-sized… but wrong
Front legs longer than the back
A cat-like face
Eyes that didn’t just reflect light—but seemed to hold it
And movement that wasn’t running…
But flowing.
🎯 The Takeaway
This wasn’t chaos.
It was control.
And whatever was doing it—
Knew exactly what it was doing.

🎧 The Ides of April — The Last Walk
Episode 1: The Most Dangerous Social Democrat in the World
On a cold February night in 1986, Olof Palme walked home from the cinema without security — a decision rooted in principle… and one that would cost him his life.
In Episode One, we trace the life of a man who became one of the most dangerous voices in global politics. Born into privilege, shaped by his experiences in America, and hardened by conviction, Palme rose to power — and used it to challenge the world’s most powerful institutions.
He condemned the Vietnam War. He supported anti-apartheid movements. He confronted global power structures — publicly, unapologetically.
By 1986, he had made enemies across governments, intelligence agencies, and shadow networks operating beneath the surface of international politics.
This is the story of how a leader becomes a target.

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger — Week of April 13
This week, we begin with a return from the edge of the unknown.
Our astronauts are home after their journey around the moon — a reminder of how far we’ve come… and how much we still don’t understand. And if they saw something out there… something they can’t explain… we’re listening.
Back on Earth, a different kind of launch: The Devil Within is now on Patreon. A huge thank you to our early subscribers — you’re helping build something deeper, more ambitious, and more independent. This is just the beginning, and your feedback will shape what comes next.
👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week
A quiet stretch outside Seattle. A name that sounds like folklore: Starvation Heights.
But it’s real.
In the early 1900s, Linda Burfield Hazzard operated a “health retreat” that promised healing through extreme fasting. What followed was something far darker — patients reduced to skeletal forms, convinced their suffering was part of the cure… until many of them died.
Bodies buried on the property. Families left without answers.
And today? People still avoid certain parts of the land. Not out of respect — out of instinct.
Because some places don’t forget.
🔥 Across the Evio Universe
🎙️ The Devil Within A two-part series on The Beast of Bladenboro — a canine-like predator that terrorized North Carolina. Livestock. Pets. Drained of blood. Witnesses include veterinarians, law enforcement, and locals who saw something they couldn’t explain. Vampire? Cryptid? Something else?
📜 The Ides of April We begin a new series on the life and assassination of Olof Palme. A public killing. A global web of enemies. And a mystery that remains unsolved decades later.
🕯️ Taboo Treasures Still dark. And getting darker.
🚨 Criminal Mischief Carolyn continues her deep dive into “Hollywood,” the Seattle bank robber who somehow earned a Robin Hood reputation… despite keeping every dollar.
🎤 Finding Me with Josh Wolf Still raw. Still honest. And now — impossible to ignore. The audience is growing, and for good reason.
🎬 This Week in Horror
The Yeti arrives on streaming — a search and rescue mission in Alaska that collides with something ancient in the wilderness. If you heard our episode on that legend, you already know… this one might hit a nerve.

🎙 Episode Two: What Follows Us Up There
👁 The WatchersAstronauts begin reporting:
• Objects that move with purpose
• Lights that respond to spacecraft
• Formations that appear to observe human activity
From Gordon Cooper’s Mercury mission to ISS footage—
These are not random anomalies.
👉 They behave with intent.
🌠 Intelligent Observation
Crew members describe:
• Objects pacing spacecraft
• Positioning for visibility
• Appearing during EVA operations
Not passing through space—
👉 Studying it.
🧠 Expanded Consciousness
Some astronauts report experiences far beyond perception:
• Seeing Earth across different time periods
• Living other lives
• Encountering luminous, “angelic” beings
Not confusion.
Not panic.
👉 Clarity.
🌍 The Aftermath
Many astronauts return changed:
• Spiritual awakenings• Depression and isolation
• Lifelong obsession with what they experienced
Because some things cannot be explained—
And can’t be forgotten.
🎯 Episode Two Takeaway
The greatest unknown in space may not be what’s out there—
But what happens to us when we go there.
🧠 The Bigger Question
Across both episodes, one pattern emerges:
• Different missions
• Different countries
• Same experiences
Presence.
Voices.
Observation.
Transformation.
🎯 Final Thought
We went into space looking for life.
But the most unsettling discovery may be this:
👉 When you remove Earth…
👉 The mind doesn’t just endure the void.
It begins to change within it.

🎧 The Devil Within — Patreon Announcement
Today’s episode is a little different.
Branden shares a major update for the future of the show:
The Devil Within is now on Patreon.
Starting now, you can get early access to weekly episodes, completely ad-free listening, exclusive bonus stories, and deeper dives into cases that go beyond what’s released on the public feed.
This show has grown into something far bigger than it was ever supposed to be — but behind every episode is a massive amount of research, writing, and production. And the truth is… there’s always more.
More details that don’t make the cut.
More cases that don’t fit the format.
More questions that deserve time.
That’s what Patreon is for.
You’ll also get behind-the-scenes access, breaking down how episodes are built — what was found, what was left out, and what still doesn’t add up. Plus, Q&As and direct conversations, so this becomes a real dialogue, not just a one-way feed.
Most importantly, this helps keep the show independent — built story by story, without compromise.
The main show will always be free.
But if you want more… this is where you get it.
And as always…
Thank you for listening.
