The Devil's Ledger - Week of October 19th, 2026

THE DEVIL'S LEDGER

Week of October 19, 2026 | Evio Creative

A Haunted Halloween, the Murdaugh Retrial, The Lexi CON & Crystal Lake

This week on The Devil's Ledger, we begin on a somber note, acknowledging the victims and families affected by the reported elementary school shooting in Bend, Oregon, and confronting America's ongoing epidemic of gun violence.

Then, in The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, a horrifying accident during a livestreamed church service in Ecuador raises unsettling questions about faith, fate, and one of the most improbable tragedies imaginable.

THIS WEEK ACROSS THE EVIO UNIVERSE:

THE DEVIL WITHIN | HAUNTED HALLOWEEN

October gets considerably darker as we investigate the mysterious death of Edgar Allan Poe and the five missing days before his final appearance in Baltimore. Then we travel to California's legendary Winchester Mystery House, where an eccentric heiress, an architectural labyrinth, and more than a century of ghost stories have created one of America's most fascinating haunted landmarks.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF | THE MURDAUGH RETRIAL

New developments in the Alex Murdaugh murder case raise questions about missing weapons, unrecovered clothing, a possible secret grand jury proceeding, and unidentified male DNA found beneath Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails. Could additional forensic testing change the course of the upcoming retrial?

THE SLIPPERY | INTRODUCING THE LEXI CON

From the creators of Scamanda, Nancy Moscatiello and Scott Eldridge introduce The Lexi CON, a multipart investigation into a Maryland woman's extraordinary medical claims, a community united by faith, and allegations of an elaborate deception that inspired thousands of dollars in donations.

THIS WEEK IN HORROR | CRYSTAL LAKE

We're returning to Camp Crystal Lake for Peacock's Friday the 13th origin series, starring Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees. Before Jason became horror royalty, his mother had a story of her own, and it wasn't particularly conducive to a pleasant summer vacation.
