The Devil’s Ledger — Week of October 27th

🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger — Week of October 27th Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network This week, The Devil’s Ledger dives headfirst into Halloween season with one of the eeriest true stories ever told — the tragic case of The Hanging Decoration. 🕯️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: A Delaware neighborhood wakes up the morning after Halloween to find what they think is a particularly realistic decoration hanging from a tree. It isn’t. In this haunting story from 2005, Branden explores how real horror can hide in plain sight — and what it says about our need to keep death at a safe distance, especially on the one night we pretend to welcome it. 🔥 This Week Across the Evio Creative Network     •    The Devil Within — The re-release of Season One concludes with Episode Nine: A Prayer in Spring.
