Show Notes:
Italy — land of empires, saints… and monsters.
In this haunting series of The Devil Within, we uncover the chilling legends that lurk behind Italy’s beauty. From the night battles of the Benandanti in Friuli to the wolf cults of Lucera, the possessed convent of Prato, and the submerged beasts of Venice — these are not just stories. These are warnings.
Across 12 gripping episodes, we explore centuries of folklore, true crime, and the terrifying spaces where they overlap. Werewolves in noble courts. Skinwalkers among shepherds. Choirs that sang to the abyss.
Some say these tales are myth. Others know better.
EPISODE 1: The Curse of Lucera
In the shadow of the ancient Roman colony of Lucera, a wolf cult thrived — and its echoes still haunt the Apulian hills. Explore how settlers, invaders, and wolves shared blood, soil, and secrets.
EPISODE 2: The Benandanti of Friuli
They called themselves “the good walkers” — but the Church called them witches. Discover the night battles fought between these dream warriors and the forces of evil.
EPISODE 3: The Skinwalkers of Abruzzo
Shepherds in the high pastures whispered of men who could wear wolf skins… and of the terrible price they paid for their hunger.
