Featuring: The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week — “The Empty Place Setting”

Welcome back to The Devil’s Ledger, your weekly tour through everything happening across the Evio Creative Network. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we begin—as always—with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week.

This time, we’re telling a story pulled straight from Midwestern legend: The Empty Place Setting — a Thanksgiving tradition kept alive by a family haunted by loss, ritual, and three slow knocks that return every year without fail.

From there, we travel across the Evio network for a packed week of new episodes, deep dives, historical reckonings, and true-crime investigations.

🎙️ THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK

“The Empty Place Setting”

A family in suburban Ohio sets an extra place at the Thanksgiving table every year — not for a late guest, but for a son who vanished thirty years ago. And every Thanksgiving night, when the house has gone still, someone knocks three times on their back door. Always three. Always slow. Always at the exact hour he disappeared.

Footprints in the frost.

Empty doorsteps.

A ritual no one dares to break.

This week’s Ledger opens with the tradition the Dawsons have kept alive — and the mystery that refuses to die.

🔥 THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN

The Thanksgiving Disappearance of Paula Jean Welden

This Thanksgiving, The Devil Within heads into the fog-shrouded woods of the Bennington Triangle—the most notorious missing-persons cluster in New England history.

We examine:

    •    Paula Jean Welden’s final walk into the mountains

    •    Conflicting eyewitness accounts

    •    The massive search effort that reshaped Vermont policing

    •    The unsettling pattern of disappearances that followed

    •    Why so many believe Glastenbury Mountain is cursed

A holiday mystery that became a legend—and a legend that refuses logical explanation.
