Season 1: The Jersey Devil - The brutal slaying of BETTY ANN SULLIVAN shocked the small town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey. The violence of that evening shocked the nation for the perpetrator... was her own son, a boy of fourteen who would take his own life only hours later. What the investigation revealed left a community in tatters, unwilling to believe the evil that had befallen them.
Season 2: The Demons of Yorkshire - In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England.Ā After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michaelās personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price...Ā
Season 3: A Season in Hell - In the late 1970's New York City had it all: Hip Hop, Punk Rock... and the Son of Sam. The third season of The Devil Within takes listeners into the belly of the beast and explores the wicked origins, reign of terror and ultimate capture of one of the most feared serial killers in history. With exclusive interviews from journalists, FBI agents, historians and mental health experts this season promises to be the most comprehensive - and most terrifying - account of how one man brought New York City to a standstill.
Season 4: Satan's Shadow - In the 1980s, California learned that fear doesnāt always lurk in the dark.
Sometimes, it walks right through the door.
SATANāS SHADOW follows the terrifying rise of Richard Ramirez ā the Night Stalker ā while tracing his crimes alongside Dante Alighieriās Inferno. As Ramirez descends deeper into violence, we descend with him through Danteās circles of hell, asking what happens to a city ā and a soul ā when darkness becomes a spectacle.
Across nine episodes, each chapter pairs the facts of the case with a brief lesson from Dante: desire twisted into obsession, cruelty masquerading as power, betrayal, violence, and the chilling fascination that draws us closer instead of pushing us away.
Because Ramirez didnāt just kill.
He captivated.
He made the world watch ā and forced us to confront the part of ourselves that canāt look away.
Bonus episodes explore the trial, aftermath, and the myths that followed ā along with glimpses into Purgatorio and Paradiso, and whether redemption or meaning is possible after horror.
SATANāS SHADOW isnāt only about a murderer.
Itās about a culture slowly walking toward darknessā¦
and what it costs to climb back out.

š„EPISODE 1
š· āThe Mantis Man of the Musconetcong ā Part One: The
Thing in the Riverā
This week, we head back to Jefferson Township ā back to the lake, the spillway, and the
narrow stretch of river where I spent my entire childhood swimming, boating, fishing⦠and
apparently missing a seven-foot translucent praying mantis humanoid lurking just
downstream.
While I was buried in Tommy Sullivan and chasing the Jersey Devil through the Pines, a
monster was hiding in plain sight ā right where I grew up.
In Part One, we break down the origin story of Mantis Man, the eerie local legend born from a
handful of eyewitnesses who swear they saw something tall, thin, silent, and very unhuman
standing in the Musconetcong River.
š Chapters
1. š Where the Water Comes From
2. š£ The Fisherman Who Didnāt Expect Company
3. š The Driver on the Bridge
A hometown haunting. A river full of secrets. And a cryptid I cannot believe I never heard about
until adulthood.
