About Evil Everywhere: A True Crime and Horror Podcast
Welcome to the Evil Everywhere Podcast! We’re two funny besties with a passion for all things true crime and paranormal. We release a story each week on Tuesday and Thursday - so give us a listen and let us know stories you want to hear!
In a small town along the Missouri River, in Atchison, Kansas, you’ll find quiet streets, historic homes, and a history that stretches back to the days of the American frontier. But tucked away on one of those streets is a house that has become one of the most talked about haunted locations in the country. It’s known as the Sallie House. And the stories surrounding this little Victorian home are enough to make you think twice about spending the night there. The legend begins with a little girl named Sallie, who, according to the story, died inside the home during a medical procedure in the early 1900s. Some believe her spirit never left. But here’s the thing: there’s no solid historical evidence confirming that Sallie ever lived or died there. Over the years, former residents have described unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and encounters that they say went far beyond the occasional creak in an old house. Some believe the spirit of a little girl is still there. Others think something much darker could be at play. But not everyone buys into the haunting. Some skeptics believe the entire legend was fabricated, and that the stories surrounding the house are nothing more than folklore that grew over time. Because when you start looking into the history of the Sallie House, you’re left with a question that’s difficult to ignore: are these people experiencing something they truly can’t explain, or is there a much more ordinary explanation hiding beneath the legend?

Episode 183: Haunted Behind Bars - Old Charleston City Jail
Charleston, South Carolina is city known for its beauty, history, and centuries-old buildings that fill the streets. But beneath that beautiful history is a much darker past. For more than a century, the Old Charleston City Jail was a place of incarceration. Thousands of people were housed in its walls — criminals, enslaved people awaiting sale, prisoners of war, and others. Disease. Violence. Overcrowding. Executions and death were all extremely common among the inmates. The building eventually closed its doors in 1939. But the stories didn't stop. They only spread further. Today, the old jail is associated with reports of a multitude of unexplained footsteps, voices, moving objects and more. And then there are the stories surrounding some of the jail's most notorious prisoners. But here's the problem: Some of these details of the history have been embellished, becoming folklore. Separating the documented history from the legend isn't exactly simple. What really happened inside those walls? What experiences are real? Where does fact end, and the haunting begin?

Episode 182: Haunting in Indiana - Willows Weep
Cayuga, Indiana, a small Midwestern community surrounded by open fields, quiet roads, and farmland stretching toward the horizon. The kind of place where life moves a little slower. And that's part of what makes the story of Willows Weep so unsettling. Because this isn't some abandoned mansion hidden deep in the woods. For years, it was simply a house in an ordinary community. And yet, according to the stories surrounding it, there was nothing ordinary about what happened inside. Willows Weep has been described as having a distinctive cross-shaped design, with some paranormal accounts claiming that parts of the house form inverted crosses and even pentagram-like patterns. Then there are the stories the strange layout of the home, and objects supposedly discovered during renovations. But this is where things get complicated. The further you dig into Willows Weep, the harder it becomes to separate the history from the legend. There are claims that multiple people died inside the house, along with stories of mysterious deaths and tragedies involving former residents. And then there are the people who say they experienced something they simply couldn't explain. Doors opening and slamming on their own. Loud banging coming from beneath the floors and inside the walls. And some visitors even claimed they were touched or attacked by something they couldn't see. But there's another side to this story. There have also been accusations that some of the darker history surrounding Willows Weep was exaggerated, embellished, or even fabricated, stories shaped over time to fit the idea that this house was harboring something evil. And if that's true, it changes everything. Because maybe the question isn't whether Willows Weep was haunted. Maybe it's something much simpler...What if the story of Willows Weep wasn't even true?
