The Devil WithinThe Monsters We Still CreateEpisode Three: The Things That Really Live Beneath the WaterThe Frogman of High Falls has led us on an unexpected journey. We began with a modern cryptid hiding in the mist beneath Rochester's famous waterfall. We explored the city's remarkable rise as an industrial powerhouse, examined how abandoned places inspire folklore, and discovered how the human mind—and now the internet—can transform uncertainty into legend.Now we arrive at the conclusion.In the final chapter of The Monsters We Still Create, Branden Morgan leaves mythology behind and follows the evidence back to the Genesee River itself. From the environmental awakening that reshaped America after rivers like the Cuyahoga caught fire, to the remarkable recovery of western New York's waterways, we explore the quiet reality that ecosystems remember everything we do to them. The true story isn't one of radioactive monsters or government experiments. It's the far more profound story of how nature absorbs our choices, adapts to them, and, when given the chance, begins to heal.But perhaps the Frogman was never really about amphibians at all.Perhaps he exists because every civilization creates monsters that reflect its deepest fears.Medieval Europe imagined demons lurking beyond the village. Frontier America feared endless�wilderness. Industrial America, having transformed rivers, forests, and landscapes beyond recognition, began imagining something waiting beneath the water—a creature born not from ancient curses, but from the uneasy relationship between progress and consequence.The Frogman may never have walked the banks of the Genesee River.But the questions he asks us are very real.Join us as we conclude this three-part series and discover why the greatest monsters have never been the ones hiding in the darkness—they're the ones that inspire us to finally look beneath the surface.📱 Follow The Devil WithinInstagram, TikTok & Facebook: @thedevilwithinpod🌐 Follow Evio CreativeInstagram: @eviocreativeOr, if you want to drive engagement a bit harder:📱 Join the CommunityFollow 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 CreativeStay up to date with all our shows at @eviocreative on Instagram.Your complete CTA block would then read:🎧 Listen & FollowFollow The Devil Within wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode.⭐ Rate & ReviewIf you're enjoying the show, please leave us a five-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
