The Devil’s Ledger — Year’s End Episode

Standing at the doorway between what was… and whatever comes next.

We close out the year with a New Year’s wish, a reflection on winter, and a few stories that feel colder the longer you sit with them.

🧊 The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week

The Michigan Dogman — Winter Screams

In the deep Michigan winter, the snow stays, the forests go silent — and sometimes, the stories return. A family’s holiday trip turns unsettling when something steps into the edge of the porch light and reminds them that winter may not belong to us after all. 

👿 The Devil Within

Two cases tied to the season — separated by a decade — and forever changed by loss.

• Helle Crafts — the case so shocking that prosecutors argued murder without a body, reshaping how courts understand circumstantial evidence.

• Patricia Viola — a disappearance that left only silence, lingering questions, and a mystery that never quite settled. 

One story defined by devastating certainty.

The other — by what we still don’t know.

🗡 The Ides of April

A quick visit into myth, murder, and the artifacts we insist on believing.

We explore the legend of the Rasputin dagger — whether it ever existed… and why some objects take on more power in our imaginations than they ever had in reality. Full episodes return next week. 

🏺 Taboo Treasures

Still on hiatus. The vault remains locked — for now. 

🤠 Criminal Mischief

Part of our Best of 2025 — Carolyn revisits Billy the Kid: the real person behind the myth, and why we still romanticize the chaos he left behind. 

🐍 This Week in Horror

Take a breather from the terrifying, and lean into something gloriously absurd:

ANACONDA — a monster movie, a giant snake, Paul Rudd, Jack Black… and the cinematic equivalent of popcorn you didn’t need, but absolutely ate anyway. 

As we close the book on the year — stay safe, stay warm, and remember: whatever is standing outside your door is not invited in.
