🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of February 2

A weekly dispatch from the shadows of history, mystery, and the unexplained across the Evio Creative Network.

Happy Groundhog’s Day 🐾❄️

Here’s hoping that furry little meteorologist gives us the forecast we want — winter loosening its grip and spring on the horizon. Until then, we’ve got plenty of chills to keep you company.

👻 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

This week’s nightmare comes from the frozen forests near Houska Castle — a place long rumored to be built over a gateway to hell.

Last year, we explored the infamous pit beneath the castle chapel. But what we didn’t realize then is that winter brings its own layer of terror. Local legends describe travelers vanishing in snowstorms after following a mysterious woman in white who walks effortlessly through deep snow… leaving no footprints.

One 19th-century woodcutter reportedly followed her into the forest, believing she was lost. When he finally saw her face, he described it as frozen and lifeless — like something long dead preserved in ice. He later died from exposure, and villagers insisted he wasn’t lost… he was lured.

Snow erases tracks. It swallows sound. And according to local folklore, winter around Houska Castle isn’t peaceful.

It’s hunting season.

🏔 On The Devil Within

We remain high in the Alps for two eerie legends of creatures said to stalk remote passes and dense forests. These are tales born from isolation, blizzards, and the unsettling feeling of being watched in a place where help is miles away.

The Alps are breathtaking. They are also ancient… and not everything up there may be accounted for.

🕯 On The Ides of April

We conclude our series on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. with a focus on James Earl Ray. His guilty plea was meant to bring closure, but instead it deepened suspicions and left lingering questions that still echo decades later.

A sobering, necessary close to one of the most painful moments in American history.

🪓 On Criminal Mischief

We travel back to 1893 in Fall River, where Andrew Borden and Abby Borden were brutally murdered with a hatchet. The arrest of Lizzie Borden shocked the nation and launched one of America’s most infamous trials.

More than 130 years later, the case remains officially unsolved. This week, an expert walks us through the investigation and courtroom drama that still fascinates true crime fans today.

🎤 Daily: Finding Me with Josh Wolf

🎬 This Week in Horror

Grizzly Night

Based on real events from 1967, the film recounts two grizzly bear attacks that occurred nine miles apart in Glacier National Park — a chilling reminder that sometimes the scariest stories don’t need the supernatural.

Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, we hope warmer days are coming. Until then, dive into the mysteries, history, and horrors waiting for you across the Evio Creative Network 🎧
