The city speaks in static. And sometimes… it answers back. This week on The Devil Within, we bring you two terrifying tales from beneath the surface of Manhattan—where signals hum through old copper wires and ancient tunnels echo with hunger. 🟡 Part One: The Whisper Grid In the 1970s, a forgotten switching station beneath Tribeca became the stuff of urban legend. Electricians reported strange voices coming through dead circuits. Disconnected lines sparked without power. And when a curious telecom worker vanished during a late-night repair, some whispered the system had become… aware. What happens when a city’s infrastructure starts talking back? 🐀 Part Two: The Rat King of Alphabet City Deep below the Lower East Side lives something worse than folklore: a writhing, sentient mass of rats—tails knotted by blood, muscle, and instinct. First seen during a cellar flood in 1891. Sighted again during the blackout of 1977. The city has tried to seal it off, deny its existence. But witnesses know: the Rat King is real. And it’s still growing. 💀 Urban horror meets analog paranoia in this double feature from the haunted infrastructure of New York City. 📩 Got your own neighborhood legend? A shadow in the basement?

Beneath Manhattan, the past never stays buried. In this two-part descent into New York’s forgotten corners, we explore two of the city’s most enduring and unsettling legends. 🟠 Part One: The Subway Serpent of South Ferry A century-old secret coils beneath the South Ferry subway station. Workers whisper about claw marks in tunnel walls, lost men dragged screaming into the dark, and a beast born of abandoned sewers and government neglect. Is it just a story told by trackwalkers… or is something alive down there? 🟣 Part Two: The Undying of Hart Island Just across the water lies Hart Island—a place so haunted, the city keeps it locked away. Over a million souls lie in mass graves, many buried without names. But some say the dead aren’t resting. Prisoners who once dug the trenches speak of whispers in the fog… and something moving beneath the soil. Each story is rooted in chilling history. Each offers a glimpse into the monstrous heart of the city that never sleeps. 🎧 Press play… but whatever you do, don’t go underground alone. 📩 Email us: [email protected] — Send us your personal encounters, strange tales, or leads.

As World War II spiraled toward its violent end, the Nazi obsession with relics, ritual, and redemption reached terrifying new heights. In the final three episodes of our Grail War series, we go deeper into the rituals of Wewelsburg Castle, where SS leaders performed bloodline ceremonies and solstice rites in the shadow of the Black Sun. Beneath the floors, prisoners died constructing the temple. Above, Himmler and his inner circle dreamed of a new religion—one rooted not in salvation, but supremacy. As the Reich collapsed, documents were burned, relics buried, and entire wings of the castle destroyed. But Wewelsburg’s most sinister chamber survived. And in the decades that followed, its symbols and myths were reborn—on fringe message boards, in neo-Nazi movements, and in the dark corners of conspiracy culture. Because the most powerful relic… is the one never found. 💌 Got thoughts or theories?

Long before the Allies stormed Berlin, a different kind of war was already underway—waged not with bullets and tanks, but with relics, runes, and ancient symbols of power. This three-part series unearths the chilling true story of the Nazis' obsession with the occult and their state-sponsored quest for the Holy Grail. At the center of it all was SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who transformed a crumbling medieval ruin—Wewelsburg Castle—into a spiritual fortress and ritual temple for a cult hiding in plain sight. From secret SS expeditions in search of relics to fabricated sacred texts and blood-soaked ceremonies in the castle’s north tower, The Devil Within reveals how myth, pseudoscience, and fanaticism merged into something far more dangerous: belief weaponized. And when the war was lost, Wewelsburg didn’t die. The Black Sun chamber survived. And the thirteenth pedestal—the one reserved for the Grail—remains empty to this day. 💌 Send your thoughts to: [email protected] 📸 Follow us: @thedevilwithinpod 🎧 Subscribe & listen: The Devil Within on Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-devil-within/id1569216112) ✅ If the darkness draws you in, please follow, rate, and review The Devil Within.

🎙 The Devil Within Episode Title: Beneath the Chapel: The Kidwelly Cult Show Notes: In the quiet, coastal town of Kidwelly, Wales, stood an unassuming chapel—and beneath it, a darkness that would horrify the nation. This episode dives deep into one of the most disturbing and little-known cult cases in modern Britain. Led by a former soldier turned self-proclaimed prophet, the cult operated in secret for years, subjecting children to terrifying abuse, mind control, and ritualistic torment—all in the name of salvation. How did this cult remain hidden in plain sight? What drove ordinary people to commit extraordinary evil? And what happened when the lies began to unravel?

In the misty glens of Northern Ireland, County Antrim holds centuries-old secrets — whispers of women who healed, cursed, and vanished. In the late 1800s, fear took hold of a quiet village when livestock died, children fell ill, and fingers pointed toward a coven said to dwell deep in the woods. But were these women truly witches… or victims of something even more sinister? In this episode, The Devil Within dives into the chilling folklore, historical records, and enduring paranoia that fueled one of Ireland’s most unsettling local legends. 🔪 Subscribe now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify 💬 Leave a comment or review — we want to hear what you believe 📩 Email the show: [email protected] 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod (https://instagram.com/thedevilwithinpod) #TheDevilWithinPodcast #WitchesOfCountyAntrim #TrueCrimePodcast #ParanormalPodcast #OccultHistory #WitchTrials #DarkFolklore #HauntedIreland #TrueCrimeCommunity #SpotifyPodcasts #ApplePodcasts #TheDevilWithin #FolkloreAndFear Learn more about your ad choices.

Hidden deep in the forests of the Czech Republic lies a castle unlike any other—one with no clear strategic purpose, no noble residence, and no windows facing the outside world. Instead, Houska Castle was built over a gaping hole in the earth... a pit so deep and terrifying that legends say it leads straight to Hell. In this episode of The Devil Within, we uncover the dark history of Houska Castle—from its bizarre medieval origins and pagan legends to whispered tales of demonic entities, Nazi occult experiments, and modern-day paranormal investigations. Why would a 13th-century ruler spend a fortune constructing a fortress with its defenses turned inward? What really happened to the prisoners who were lowered into the abyss as test subjects? And is the evil sealed beneath the chapel truly dormant? Step inside Houska, where history and horror bleed together—and where the line between myth and madness disappears.
