The Devil Within

🎧 The Ides of April
The Last Handshake: The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin

Episode 1: A Man of War Learns Peace
Our new series on The Ides of April begins with the remarkable life of Yitzhak Rabin—a soldier shaped by war who ultimately became one of the most controversial advocates for peace in modern Israeli history.
Born in Jerusalem in 1922 during the British Mandate, Rabin grew up in a land already defined by conflict. As a young man he joined the Palmach, the elite Jewish strike force that would later form the backbone of Israel’s military, and spent decades fighting in the wars that defined the early years of the Israeli state.
Over time Rabin rose to become one of Israel’s most respected military leaders and eventually Prime Minister. But by the early 1990s, after a lifetime of war, he came to believe that military victories alone could not resolve the conflict with the Palestinians.
That belief led to one of the most iconic—and controversial—moments in modern diplomacy.
In 1993, Rabin stood on the White House lawn and shook hands with Yasser Arafat, formalizing the Oslo peace process. The gesture stunned the world and deeply divided Israel. Supporters saw courage and possibility. Critics saw betrayal.
As political tensions escalated and extremist rhetoric intensified, Rabin continued pressing forward with negotiations.
The episode ends on November 4, 1995, at a massive peace rally in Tel Aviv where Rabin joined the crowd in singing the “Song for Peace.”
Minutes later, he would be shot.

🎧 The Devil’s Ledger

Week of March 16

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, your weekly look across the Evio Creative Universe—from paranormal history and true crime to the strange stories lurking just beyond the headlines. This week we lean into the arrival of spring, a season long associated with ancient pagan traditions of renewal, rebirth, and the quiet promise that the world can start again. 

But first…

👁️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

This week’s story comes out of Florida, where prosecutors revealed disturbing details about two teenagers accused of plotting to murder a classmate as part of what investigators described as a “blood ritual.”

Authorities allege the teens had been discussing the killing as a ritualistic act involving blood and symbolism. The plan, investigators say, wasn’t a spontaneous argument or schoolyard conflict—it was something darker and more deliberate.

👻 On The Devil Within

This week we begin a two-part series exploring one of the most famous hauntings in British history:

Borley Rectory in Essex, England.

Often called “the most haunted house in England,” Borley Rectory became the focus of decades of ghost sightings, mysterious writings appearing on walls, phantom footsteps, and reports of a ghostly nun wandering the grounds.

Priests, paranormal investigators, skeptics, and believers all attempted to explain the strange events reported there.

And this week we begin unpacking the history behind one of the most infamous haunted houses ever recorded. 

🕊️ On The Ides of April

A brand-new historical series begins as well.

This time we examine the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin—a moment that reshaped modern Middle Eastern politics.

Thirty years later, Rabin’s murder remains one of the most consequential political assassinations of the modern era. Our series explores how the assassination unfolded, the unanswered questions that remain decades later, and the lasting impact of a peace effort that ended in tragedy. 

🎙 Around the Evio Network

Both Criminal Mischief and Taboo Treasures are dark this week.

But Josh Wolf continues showing up every weekday with his daily podcast journal:

Finding Me

Josh invites listeners into an honest exploration of self-discovery, vulnerability, and personal growth, sharing the small moments and realizations that shape the journey toward becoming a better version of ourselves. 

🎬 This Week in Horror

Our horror pick this week is undertone (stylized in all lowercase), a 2025 Canadian horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason.

In a unique creative choice, only two characters appear on screen—while the rest of the story unfolds entirely through voices and recordings, making the film’s sound design the true source of its horror.

🎧 The Devil WithinThe Castle of the Damned — Episode TwoThe Modern Awakening

Some discoveries are meant to remain buried.

After archaeologist Dr. Margaret Sinclair uncovered William de Soulis’s hidden chamber in 1987, her discovery electrified the academic world. The medieval texts and artifacts found beneath Hermitage Castle promised to revolutionize the study of occult practices in the Middle Ages.

But the researchers who began translating de Soulis’s journals soon encountered something deeply disturbing.

One by one, the scholars studying the manuscripts began to suffer strange and catastrophic fates.

A research partner died suddenly after filling pages with symbols identical to those found in the necromancer’s journals. A linguist attempting to decode the texts suffered a complete psychological break.And Dr. Sinclair herself began documenting communications with the same supernatural entity that had once spoken to William de Soulis centuries earlier.

The entity called itself The Teacher.

And it was offering her the same bargain.

In this episode we investigate:

• The mysterious deaths and breakdowns of researchers studying the de Soulis journals• Dr. Sinclair’s growing obsession with supernatural experimentation• The terrifying moment when academic curiosity turned into spiritual vulnerability• The ritual Sinclair attempted to recreate William’s medieval pact• The disturbing evidence that the entity behind the bargain never disappeared

When Dr. Sinclair was found dead in 1990, investigators discovered her apartment transformed into a ritual chamber—symbols carved into the walls and a lead-lined coffin built in the basement.

But Sinclair’s ritual wasn’t designed to trap something.

It was designed to release it.

Today, Hermitage Castle remains closed following reports of unexplained activity and visitors experiencing strange psychological disturbances.

And online communities continue to circulate fragments of the same journals that destroyed everyone who studied them.

Because some knowledge doesn’t simply inform.

It spreads.

The Devil WithinThe Castle of the Damned — Episode One: The Necromancer’s Bargain

Episode Overview

In 1987, an archaeological team investigating Hermitage Castle in the Scottish Borders made a discovery that would disturb historians, archaeologists, and paranormal investigators alike.

Hidden beneath the castle’s great hall was a sealed chamber, untouched for centuries.

Inside they found ritual symbols carved into the stone, shelves of forbidden texts, and a lead coffin covered in Latin inscriptions.

Something inside had been trying to claw its way out.

And according to medieval records… it once belonged to William de Soulis.

This episode investigates the dark legend of William de Soulis — a fourteenth-century nobleman whose obsession with forbidden knowledge transformed his castle into what historians now believe may have been a ritual laboratory for necromantic experiments.

We explore:


The strange library of occult texts inherited by the de Soulis family


William’s documented experiments attempting to communicate with supernatural entities


His alleged bargain with an entity known only as “The Teacher”


The gradual transformation of both the man and the castle itself


Reports of supernatural architecture within Hermitage Castle — rooms and corridors behaving impossibly


The violent events surrounding William’s death in 1320


The extraordinary measures taken by monks to seal his body in lead and stone

But the story does not end with his death.

Because when archaeologists reopened the hidden chamber in 1987…

the coffin was no longer sealed.

Themes in This Episode:


The dangers of knowledge pursued without wisdom


Medieval occult traditions hidden within historical records


The intersection of ambition, scholarship, and supernatural belief


Whether evil is invited… or discovered

The excavation of Hermitage Castle revealed far more than medieval artifacts.

It may have reawakened something.

And the people who studied the discovery would soon begin to pay a terrible price.

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger

Week of March 9

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, the weekly dispatch from across the Evio Universe — where we catch you up on everything happening across the network and occasionally ask the kinds of questions that make you realize nobody is really in charge of anything.

For example…

Daylight Saving Time.

Really?

Still?

We’re still doing this?

Let’s do better, government.

This week on The Devil Within, we travel to Scotland and investigate one of the most ominous places in the entire United Kingdom: Hermitage Castle.

For centuries this fortress has been associated with demonic possession, violent hauntings, shadow figures, and enough verified paranormal encounters to make even experienced investigators take a step back and say, “You know what… maybe we’ll just admire this one from the parking lot.”

This is the castle that guards what historians call the bloodiest valley in Britain. And if the accounts are even half true, Hermitage Castle might be one of the most paranormally active places in Europe.

That’s this week on The Devil Within.

Meanwhile on The Ides of April, we conclude our series Son of the Blade.

For more than two thousand years historians have been arguing about the untimely death of Alexander the Great.

One of the greatest military commanders in human history conquers most of the known world by the age of thirty-two… and then suddenly dies...

Over on Criminal Mischief, we’re proud to re-release Episode One of The Shadow Girls.

For many listeners around the world, this was the podcast that first introduced journalist Carolyn Ossorio to a global audience.

There’s a reason we’re bringing this episode back — and that reason will be revealed during the episode itself.

So if you’ve never heard The Shadow Girls, or if you remember the impact it had when it first premiered, don’t miss this one.

Taboo Treasures is dark for the week — but the show will return soon with more strange, rare, and occasionally unsettling artifacts from history.

Meanwhile comedian Josh Wolf is — as they say — here all week.

His daily podcast and journal Finding Me continues to explore his personal journey of self-discovery, creativity, family life, comedy, and the strange process of figuring out who we are while we’re still in the middle of becoming it.

And finally, in horror this week we have a fascinating adaptation coming to streaming.

The Long Walk — based on Stephen King’s 1979 novel.

The premise is simple and terrifying.

In a dystopian version of the United States, fifty teenage boys are forced into a televised endurance competition. The rules are brutally straightforward.

Each walker must maintain a pace of three miles per hour.

If they slow down, they receive a warning.

Three warnings…

and soldiers execute them.

That’s The Long Walk, coming soon to streaming.

And that’s it for this week’s Devil’s Ledger.

Thanks for listening…

and we’ll see you this week across the Evio Universe.
