Episode 3: What Stayed The hardest part wasn't getting out of the cabin. It was discovering that leaving didn't necessarily mean the story was over. In the conclusion of this three-part Campfire Files series, Carolyn follows the lingering aftermath of one terrifying weekend. The board is gone. The cabin is quiet once again. But months later, unanswered questions—and unexplained events—continue to haunt those who were there. Who—or what—was "Lia"? Why did the board single out one member of the group? And what do you do when the only evidence left behind is a name, a memory, and the unmistakable feeling that something still remembers you? What Stayed explores the unsettling possibility that not every haunting is violent. Some simply refuse to let go. Case file closed. Or perhaps... Left open. 🎧 Listen & Follow

Episode 2: What It Asked For They put the board away. Closed the lid. Shut the drawer. And told themselves the weekend could finally return to normal. It didn't. In Part Two of The Devil Within's Campfire Files, strange occurrences begin spreading beyond the board itself. A drawer opens on its own. One friend begins speaking in ways she cannot later remember. And the group slowly realizes whatever answered them no longer seems confined to a wooden game board. It wants something. It wants them to stay. As Carolyn traces the psychological tension, folklore, and eyewitness accounts surrounding one unforgettable weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains, one question becomes impossible to ignore: What happens when curiosity becomes an invitation? Because sometimes the scariest words aren't shouted. Sometimes they're whispered. And sometimes they simply ask you not to leave. 🎧 Listen & Follow

Episode 1: The Board Four college friends rent a cabin outside Boone, North Carolina, for what should have been an ordinary autumn weekend in the mountains. Instead, they discover something none of them expected: an old Ouija board left behind by a previous guest. No one brought it. No one believes in it. So they decide to ask it a question. The answer comes almost immediately. What begins as harmless curiosity quickly becomes something none of them can explain. A name appears across the board. A voice in the room begins to change. And one simple response—YES—sets in motion a weekend none of them would ever forget. In Part One of this three-part Campfire Files case, The Devil Within explores a story rooted in real places, documented history, and the unsettling possibility that some doors, once opened, don't easily close. Sometimes the most dangerous decision isn't summoning something. It's believing nothing will answer. 🎧 Listen & Follow

The Devil's Ledger — Week of June 30, 2026 This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate the spirit of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the United States, Canada, and Mexico continue welcoming the world with open arms. Amid months of political division, it's been refreshing to see communities across North America reminding us why sports have a unique way of bringing people together. From packed stadiums to neighborhood watch parties, hospitality has taken center stage—and yes, maybe ranch dressing deserves a little credit too. We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week. This week we travel to Montreal's historic Griffintown, where ghost hunters, historians, and curious locals gathered on June 27 to await the legendary return of Headless Mary Gallagher. Murdered and decapitated in 1879, local folklore claims Mary's spirit returns every seven years on the anniversary of her death, wandering the streets in search of the head she lost nearly 150 years ago. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, it's a haunting reminder that some stories refuse to die. On The Devil Within, our Campfire Files series continues with one of our most believable paranormal stories yet. Four college friends rent an Airbnb cabin for a relaxing weekend in the mountains and discover what appears to be an ordinary board game left behind by a previous guest. The only problem? It's a Ouija Board. What begins as harmless curiosity slowly transforms into something unsettling, proving that sometimes the scariest stories aren't the loudest—they're the ones that feel like they could happen to anyone. On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio is keeping this week's case a complete secret. Is she racing to meet another impossible deadline? Or has she uncovered a story so disturbing she wants listeners to experience it with fresh ears? We honestly don't know—but knowing Carolyn, it could very well be both. Tune in and find out. On The Slippery, Scott Eldridge and Nancy Moscatiello unravel the extraordinary story of Gaurav Srivastava, a man who convinced world leaders, celebrities, and business executives that he had been recruited by the CIA as a teenager. His elaborate intelligence persona opened doors across the global oil industry—until investigators began asking difficult questions. It's a remarkable story of deception, influence, and one of the most audacious confidence schemes in recent memory. On Forever Young, Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour explore the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, separating science from hype as they discuss how stem cell therapies may reshape healthcare in the years ahead. If you're interested in living healthier and longer, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Finally, in This Week in Horror, we revisit the return of Scary Movie. More than twenty years after the original became a comedy phenomenon, the franchise is back with another round of outrageous horror parody, proving that even today's most terrifying films aren't safe from a good laugh. 🎧 Listen & Follow

Episode 3: What It Left Behind Leaving a place doesn't always mean leaving it behind. Three days after returning home to Kansas City, Sara begins having dreams about Table Rock Lake. In them, she drifts above the flooded valley, suspended in dark water while something ancient moves below. The lake is hundreds of miles away. Yet every night she wakes with the same feeling: Cold. Not the room. Her. In the final chapter of Something in the Water, Carolyn explores what happened after the trip ended—and whether some encounters leave behind more than memories. Local divers speak quietly about cold spots that shouldn't exist. About moments of disorientation in familiar waters. About the persistent sensation that something beneath the lake is watching from below. No disappearances. No documented tragedies. Just stories. And the feeling. Across Indigenous traditions, the Underwater Panther was never simply a monster. It was a force—a boundary between worlds. Those touched by it were sometimes believed to carry a lingering awareness of what lies beneath the surface. Sara was eventually asked whether she believed something followed her home. Her answer was simple: "I think I got noticed by something very old that doesn't notice people very often. And now I know it's there. And it knows I know." Table Rock Lake remains as beautiful as ever: blue water, green hills, children leaping from docks on summer afternoons. But beneath the surface lie flooded towns, forgotten roads, and older stories that may never have truly disappeared. Case file closed. Or perhaps merely submerged. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 2: The Pool Water has a way of finding its path. Through stone. Through memory. Through places we believe are sealed shut. In Part Two of Something in the Water, the events at Table Rock Lake take an even stranger turn. After days of unsettling encounters on the water, Sara wakes in the middle of the night to find something impossible: a pool of cold water in the center of her bedroom floor. No leaking pipes. No open windows. No explanation. As fear spreads through the cabin, four members of the group decide it's time to leave. But Sara—the very person who experienced the first encounter in the lake—chooses to stay. Why? Because what she experienced didn't feel like a threat. It felt like attention. As Sarah examines centuries-old traditions surrounding the Underwater Panther, a disturbing pattern emerges. Across cultures and generations, stories of the entity share one detail above all others: it chooses. And once it notices you, leaving the water may not be enough. By morning, the mysterious pool has vanished. But the towels used to clean it up have been moved. Folded neatly at the foot of Sara's bed. Sometimes the most terrifying thing isn't what we see. It's the feeling that something has seen us. 📱 Follow The Devil Within Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @thedevilwithinpod 🌐 Follow Evio Creative Instagram: @eviocreative Or, if you want to drive engagement a bit harder: 📱 Join the Community Follow The Devil Within on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @thedevilwithinpod for episode clips, behind-the-scenes content, historical deep dives, and the creepiest stories we can't fit into the podcast. 🌐 Follow Evio Creative Stay up to date with all our shows at @eviocreative on Instagram.

Something in the Water - Part One Six friends arrive at Table Rock Lake in the summer of 2010 expecting a quiet week in the Ozarks—swimming, boating, and long evenings beneath the Missouri stars. What they find instead is a place with a history far older than the dam that created it. This week on The Devil Within, we begin a three-part campfire case rooted in documented history, Indigenous tradition, and the uneasy possibility that some places remember what was buried beneath them. When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed Table Rock Dam in 1958, they flooded an entire valley, submerging roads, foundations, churches, and whole communities beneath more than 43,000 acres of water. But the flooded towns were not the first things to disappear from this landscape. Long before the lake existed, the Osage people lived along the White River and carried stories of powerful beings dwelling beneath the water. Among them was a mysterious figure known across the Mississippi watershed as the Underwater Panther—a guardian of thresholds, deep places, and the dangerous boundary between worlds. Then one swimmer feels an impossible cold in the middle of an August afternoon. Something brushes against her ankle. The next day, someone else is pulled beneath the surface. And before the week is over, the group begins to wonder whether the lake is merely covering something—or keeping it. Because some waters are deeper than they appear. And some things beneath them are still waiting. 📱 Follow The Devil Within Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @thedevilwithinpod 🌐 Follow Evio Creative Instagram: @eviocreative Or, if you want to drive engagement a bit harder: 📱 Join the Community Follow The Devil Within on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook @thedevilwithinpod for episode clips, behind-the-scenes content, historical deep dives, and the creepiest stories we can't fit into the podcast. 🌐 Follow Evio Creative Stay up to date with all our shows at @eviocreative on Instagram.

The Devil's Ledger — June 22, 2026 This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate the United States Men's National Team advancing out of the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and recognize the incredible efforts of host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico for welcoming fans from around the world. Then we dive into another week of strange stories, unsettling mysteries, and sinister tales from across the Evio Creative universe. We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week—the disturbing true story of a family who purchased a foreclosed home in Connecticut only to discover three sets of human remains inside. What should have been the start of a new chapter quickly became the center of a mystery years in the making. On The Devil Within, we gather around the campfire for Something in the Water. What begins as a relaxing getaway at Table Rock Lake becomes a terrifying encounter with something lurking beneath the surface. Strange events, unexplained encounters, and a growing realization that whatever is in the lake wants to be seen force a group of friends to confront a chilling question: what happens when something ancient decides it wants your attention? On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio delivers another unforgettable story. This isn't a notorious serial killer or a decades-old wrongful conviction. It's something far more relatable—and perhaps more frightening because of it. A case that reminds us how quickly an ordinary day can become a nightmare and how vulnerable we all are to dangers hiding in plain sight. On The Slippery, the bizarre saga of Jose Lantigua continues. A successful businessman claims to be suffering from a rare and terminal illness allegedly connected to his past as a CIA operative. After traveling to Venezuela for a secret experimental procedure, he disappears—leaving behind unanswered questions, a multimillion-dollar insurance policy, and investigators who suspect nothing is as it seems. And in This Week in Horror, we take a look at Corporate Retreat, a new horror film in which a company leadership retreat descends into chaos, violence, and death. As alliances crumble and secrets emerge, the greatest threat may not be lurking in the wilderness—it may be sitting in the next boardroom chair. 🎧 Listen & Follow

The Campsite That Wasn’t Empty — Part Two Campfire Files: True Stories That Followed Them Home If Part One was about recognition— Part Two is about consequence. Because the most dangerous assumption people make about places like this is simple: That whatever happens there… stays there. It doesn’t. In Part Two, the Carter family wakes to a campsite that looks exactly as they left it—but feels entirely different. The daylight doesn’t bring clarity. It brings questions. Subtle disturbances in the ground. Movement that leaves no clear trace. A growing sense that what they experienced wasn’t singular. It wasn’t alone. And then they leave. They pack up. They drive home. They return to something structured, familiar, safe. Or at least— they think they do. Because back in Tennessee, something begins again. Faint at first. Incomplete. A voice forming in the dark—not quite right, not fully there, but trying. Learning. Reaching for something familiar. The woods didn’t contain it. Distance didn’t stop it. And whatever it is… It’s still figuring them out. What You’ll Hear in Part Two • Physical evidence that defies simple explanation • The shift from location-based fear to personal threat • The unsettling idea that mimicry can evolve • What happens when something doesn’t need proximity to continue Listen & Follow Follow The Devil Within wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode.

The Campsite That Wasn’t Empty — Part One Campfire Files: True Stories That Followed Them Home On this episode of The Devil Within, we begin our summer series with a story that feels familiar enough to lower your guard. A late-summer camping trip in the Smoky Mountains.
A family of four.
A quiet campsite just far enough off the main trail to feel private—but not isolated. The kind of trip thousands of families take every year. Until something shifts. At first, it’s subtle. Easy to dismiss. A sound in the woods. Movement that could belong to anything—wind, animals, the natural rhythm of a forest at night. But then the patterns begin to break. The sounds don’t move the way they should. The silence arrives at the wrong moments. And then— A voice. Calling from just beyond the firelight. Using a name it shouldn’t know.
Sounding exactly like someone already inside the tent. Not similar. Not close. Exact. As the Carter family settles into their tent for the night, what waits outside doesn’t rush. It doesn’t reveal itself. It listens. It studies. It repeats. And slowly, the realization sets in: This isn’t something passing through. This is something paying attention. Part One builds toward a moment that changes everything—the understanding that whatever is outside the tent isn’t just making noise… It’s communicating. And it knows exactly who it’s talking to. What You’ll Hear in Part One • A real-world report of voice mimicry in a wilderness setting • How environmental “patterns” help identify when something is wrong • The psychological shift from dismissal to awareness • The moment a familiar voice becomes something else entirely Listen & Follow Follow The Devil Within wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode.
