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.011338 Biographies & Memoirs True Crime

  • Mother Earth's Children - Part One: The Garden of Earthly Delights

    Mother Earth's Children - Part One: The Garden of Earthly Delights
    Mar 25 2026
    🎧 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 Devil's Ledger - Week of March 22nd
    Mar 23 2026
    🎧 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.

  • Rectory of the Damned - Part Two: The Investigators and the Inferno

    Rectory of the Damned - Part Two: The Investigators and the Inferno
    Mar 20 2026
    Episode 2: The Investigators and the Inferno In Episode Two, the story of Borley takes a darker turn. After the death of the Bull family patriarch, new residents move into the rectory—and quickly discover they are not alone. The Foyster family arrives in 1930 expecting a quaint country parish. What they encounter instead is a full-scale poltergeist siege. Objects move on their own. Messages appear on walls. Personal items vanish and reappear in impossible places. And at the center of it all is Marianne Foyster, who becomes the focus of increasingly violent supernatural activity. What was once a passive haunting becomes interactive, intelligent… and aggressive. Enter Harry Price, Britain’s most famous paranormal investigator. Armed with cameras, instruments, and a scientific mindset, Price sets out to prove—or disprove—the haunting once and for all. What he discovers changes everything. Through a combination of supernatural communication and archaeological excavation, Price uncovers human remains buried beneath the rectory—evidence that appears to validate centuries-old accounts of a murdered woman seeking recognition. For the first time in decades… the activity changes. It quiets. As if something has finally been heard. But the story doesn’t end there. In 1939, Borley Rectory is consumed by a mysterious fire—one that burns with unusual intensity and behavior, destroying much of the physical evidence while leaving behind more questions than answers. Was the fire accidental? Or was it… the final act of a haunting that had finally run its course? 🎧 Follow & Share If you’re drawn to stories where history and the supernatural collide: ⭐ Leave a five-star review 🎧 Follow The Devil Within wherever you listen 📲 Follow along on Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod 📲 And across the network: @eviocreative Share this episode with someone who loves true crime, paranormal history, and dark mysteries.

I am halfway through this, but had to stop and review. The creator of this podcast is so grossly ignorant of Catholicism, Catholic education, and teen psychology that it makes this hard to listen to. There’s an obvious anti-Catholic bias. He makes it sound like teaching world religions is an unusual thing. Every Catholic high school teaches world religions. He also dramatizes how frequently the church talks about the antichrist which is not a major focus in Catholic education at all. So many things that he states as fact are flat out incorrect. I guess Dungeons and Dragons is also going to be blamed for turning this kid into a satanist. This is so poorly researched compared to other Wondery podcasts that I’ve listened to.

Ignorant Assumptions

Season One is not available, so I went straight into season two. While this is a horrific crime, I feel like there wasn't much information regarding the religious/demonic aspect that seemed to be substantiated. Some of the story details regarding the exorcism seemed vague. Some leaps taken. A bit referencing The Exorcist is thrown in for good measure.

Meh

Absolutely infuriating that they are passing this off as a true crime podcast. Episode 1 is the only episode that isn’t almost complete nonsense. What’s worse - the nonsense is that the Devil made him do it. Really?! If they didn’t advertise this as true crime, it would be fine but it’s a huge disappointment if you were hoping for actual insights. Skip it.

Based on true crime, not a true crime podcast

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
it calls itself true crime but its about as true as stories that are 'inspired' by true events. the production quality is good, which is sad to see wasted on such garbage. This is a work of fiction for the religious right and nothing more.

Fiction that bills itself fact

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I thought this was true crime and it was a fantastical work of fiction that gave credence to the satanic panic…. HUGE disappointment. I usually love wondery but this has almost ruined them for me, in terms of credibility at least.

Absolutely terrible
