Episode 3: What It Left Behind Leaving a place doesn't always mean leaving it behind. Three days after returning home to Kansas City, Sara begins having dreams about Table Rock Lake. In them, she drifts above the flooded valley, suspended in dark water while something ancient moves below. The lake is hundreds of miles away. Yet every night she wakes with the same feeling: Cold. Not the room. Her. In the final chapter of Something in the Water, Carolyn explores what happened after the trip ended—and whether some encounters leave behind more than memories. Local divers speak quietly about cold spots that shouldn't exist. About moments of disorientation in familiar waters. About the persistent sensation that something beneath the lake is watching from below. No disappearances. No documented tragedies. Just stories. And the feeling. Across Indigenous traditions, the Underwater Panther was never simply a monster. It was a force—a boundary between worlds. Those touched by it were sometimes believed to carry a lingering awareness of what lies beneath the surface. Sara was eventually asked whether she believed something followed her home. Her answer was simple: "I think I got noticed by something very old that doesn't notice people very often. And now I know it's there. And it knows I know." Table Rock Lake remains as beautiful as ever: blue water, green hills, children leaping from docks on summer afternoons. But beneath the surface lie flooded towns, forgotten roads, and older stories that may never have truly disappeared. Case file closed. Or perhaps merely submerged. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 2: The Pool Water has a way of finding its path. Through stone. Through memory. Through places we believe are sealed shut. In Part Two of Something in the Water, the events at Table Rock Lake take an even stranger turn. After days of unsettling encounters on the water, Sara wakes in the middle of the night to find something impossible: a pool of cold water in the center of her bedroom floor. No leaking pipes. No open windows. No explanation. As fear spreads through the cabin, four members of the group decide it's time to leave. But Sara—the very person who experienced the first encounter in the lake—chooses to stay. Why? Because what she experienced didn't feel like a threat. It felt like attention. As Sarah examines centuries-old traditions surrounding the Underwater Panther, a disturbing pattern emerges. Across cultures and generations, stories of the entity share one detail above all others: it chooses. And once it notices you, leaving the water may not be enough. By morning, the mysterious pool has vanished. But the towels used to clean it up have been moved. Folded neatly at the foot of Sara's bed. Sometimes the most terrifying thing isn't what we see. It's the feeling that something has seen us.
The Devil's Ledger — June 22, 2026 This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate the United States Men's National Team advancing out of the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and recognize the incredible efforts of host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico for welcoming fans from around the world. Then we dive into another week of strange stories, unsettling mysteries, and sinister tales from across the Evio Creative universe. We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week—the disturbing true story of a family who purchased a foreclosed home in Connecticut only to discover three sets of human remains inside. What should have been the start of a new chapter quickly became the center of a mystery years in the making. On The Devil Within, we gather around the campfire for Something in the Water. What begins as a relaxing getaway at Table Rock Lake becomes a terrifying encounter with something lurking beneath the surface. Strange events, unexplained encounters, and a growing realization that whatever is in the lake wants to be seen force a group of friends to confront a chilling question: what happens when something ancient decides it wants your attention? On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio delivers another unforgettable story. This isn't a notorious serial killer or a decades-old wrongful conviction. It's something far more relatable—and perhaps more frightening because of it. A case that reminds us how quickly an ordinary day can become a nightmare and how vulnerable we all are to dangers hiding in plain sight. On The Slippery, the bizarre saga of Jose Lantigua continues. A successful businessman claims to be suffering from a rare and terminal illness allegedly connected to his past as a CIA operative. After traveling to Venezuela for a secret experimental procedure, he disappears—leaving behind unanswered questions, a multimillion-dollar insurance policy, and investigators who suspect nothing is as it seems. And in This Week in Horror, we take a look at Corporate Retreat, a new horror film in which a company leadership retreat descends into chaos, violence, and death. As alliances crumble and secrets emerge, the greatest threat may not be lurking in the wilderness—it may be sitting in the next boardroom chair.
Something in the Water - Part One Six friends arrive at Table Rock Lake in the summer of 2010 expecting a quiet week in the Ozarks—swimming, boating, and long evenings beneath the Missouri stars. What they find instead is a place with a history far older than the dam that created it. This week on The Devil Within, we begin a three-part campfire case rooted in documented history, Indigenous tradition, and the uneasy possibility that some places remember what was buried beneath them. When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed Table Rock Dam in 1958, they flooded an entire valley, submerging roads, foundations, churches, and whole communities beneath more than 43,000 acres of water. But the flooded towns were not the first things to disappear from this landscape. Long before the lake existed, the Osage people lived along the White River and carried stories of powerful beings dwelling beneath the water. Among them was a mysterious figure known across the Mississippi watershed as the Underwater Panther—a guardian of thresholds, deep places, and the dangerous boundary between worlds. Then one swimmer feels an impossible cold in the middle of an August afternoon. Something brushes against her ankle. The next day, someone else is pulled beneath the surface. And before the week is over, the group begins to wonder whether the lake is merely covering something—or keeping it. Because some waters are deeper than they appear. And some things beneath them are still waiting.

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

The agency hires Workampers to work in the visitor's center, which they have done for several years. But, this year, Workampers will also be hired to serve as camp hosts.
Today I will be interviewing two rangers who work for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project near Branson, Mo. It is located in a very beautiful waterway that offers lots of natural recreation opportunities. Matt Robbins and Angela Stone are rangers who work for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The agency is tasked with overseeing waterways created by dams and other big projects. Matt and Angela work at Table Rock Lake, which is situated along the White River just outside the Branson, Mo., city limits. The corps has established campgrounds, visitors centers, bike trails, picnic areas and other fun things to do that promotes being outdoors. The agency hires Workampers to work in the visitor's center, which they have done for several years. But, this year, Workampers will also be hired to serve as camp hosts. Camp hosts interact with visitors while relaying important water safety information. They also staff a check-in booth, provide some janitorial services and basically serve as the eyes and ears of the ranger staff to report problems. In the visitors center itself, Workamper volunteers staff the front desk to answer questions visitors may have and to orient them to features and services available at the project. They also work with school groups visiting the park on field trips. Some lucky volunteers can wear a costume to entertain kids as Bobber, the water safety dog, while others can help maintain garden beds. The rangers are super-appreciative of Workampers for all the work they do to assist visitors, which reduces the workload for the ranger staff. However, Workampers are not involved in any enforcement activities. They simply alert rangers to problems at the project. Volunteers work about 24 hours a week in exchange for a full-hookup RV site. The project employs couples, singles and families who work anywhere from four to eight hours a day. Camp hosts typically work four days on and have four days off. Angela is more flexible in scheduling people to work in the visitors center. The project asks for a commitment of at least three months in spring, summer and fall. The visitors center is closed during winter. People who want to stay longer are allowed to do so. Table Rock Lake is home to one of the largest visitors centers in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Because it has a rather large classroom and bigger outdoor spaces, the project is a favorite place for teachers to bring students. In fact, the Dewey Short Visitor Center hosted 110,000 people in 2023. Workampers might lead tours, conduct programs or demonstrate how to put on a life preserver. They may also guide students in engaging in conservation or clean-up activities. The project typically seeks 12 to 13 Workampers every 90 days. There are openings yet this summer as camp hosts and in the visitor center. More information about the Table Rock Lake project is available at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website. Information about Workamper jobs can be found at www.volunteer.gov and searching for Table Rock Lake. Today's episode is sponsored by Workamper News. With its Diamond and Platinum membership tools, Workamper News is much more than just a job-listing website. When you put the tools of this professional service into action, you'll find out just how easy it can be to turn your Workamping dreams into reality. The one-year memberships open the door to a one-stop-shop for all-things Workamping. Being the original resource for Workamping, you'll find the largest number of job listings, be able to connect with a community of Workampers, and view resources compiled by experts who have been enjoying the RV lifestyle for many years.

Send us your specific questions. We'll answer them. CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS This podcast began because of one simple thing - my curiosity. I discovered Hot Springs Village, Arkansas in September 2018 when Rhonda, my wife, and I first visited. We booked an Airbnb inside the Village some months earlier having never heard of Hot Springs Village. I wanted to find someplace within a 6-hour drive of Dallas/Ft. Worth. The Ozarks have been a long favorite of ours. Not Branson, but prowling around the trails around Table Rock Lake. Big Cedar Lodge cabins were always a preferred stay. Problem...it's 7 hours plus, depending on traffic. That led me to Google around for someplace that had hills, big trees, trails, lakes, and the kind of nature we loved up in the Ozarks. Eventually, I stumbled onto Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, but I was confused. I'd heard of Hot Springs, Arkansas, and wasn't interested because I knew it was touristy. I wasn't looking for touristy. We weren't interested in leaving DFW to find "things to do." We just wanted to relax, walk trails, and deepen our connection with each other (we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in January 2018). I read up on Hot Springs Village before searching Airbnb. Wait a minute, what? It's a gated community? It's a P.O.A., whatever that is? It's 26,000 acres? There are multiple golf courses and lakes? We don't golf or do lake stuff, but we enjoy looking at golf courses and lakes. I decided to book an Airbnb basement suite, separate from the owner's residence. It was a queen-bed suite with a bathroom and it was one of the many lakes, Lake DeSoto. We booked it for four nights, I think. September arrived and we were off to Arkansas, our first real visit to the state since we'd been married. We had some church friends in Little Rock, but neither of us had spent much time in Arkansas as adults. Both of us had been there with our families when we were growing up so we were familiar enough with it because Rhonda grew up in Texas while I grew up in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana - so we're both from this neck of the woods. We walked miles of trails during that first visit. We spent hours in conversation navigating various challenges and opportunities in our life together. We oggled the trees, hills, lakes, and golf courses. Well, a few of them. We enjoyed the quiet. The peace. The dark night sky. The wildlife. We enjoyed a few local eateries. We enjoyed nearby Lake Ouachita State Park. Along the way, we had formed far more questions than we had before arriving. I had no idea about this place where we'd just spent 4 or 5 days. All I knew was that I needed to find out more. Mostly, I wondered why I had never heard of this place and why more people weren't visiting. Thoughts of one day living here never crossed my mind. That would happen a couple of years later. But first... Another idea crossed my mind almost immediately after we got back home to DFW. As we entered 2000 I was podcasting. It wasn't even yet called podcasting. Most of us referred to it as audio journaling because before blogging was blogging...we called it journaling. I put my first audio online in 1999. Audio has played a prominent role in my life - first with my love of music. Then my love of the gear required to play my favorite records. By the time I was 15 or so, I was working at a local stereo store selling speakers, receivers, amps, preamps, and turntables. That was over 50 years ago and few things have changed when it comes to my passion for audio. Except that now I've added video to the passion. Dennis Simpson had been our Airbnb host in 2018. I didn't know him. At all. But I knew I needed a resident inside Hot Springs Village who would help answer my questions. I trolled the Internet and it seemed fairly clear to me that Dennis might be "my guy" to co-host this podcast I had in mind. I had pages of notes.

As the band Cinderella so famously sang in 1988, “you don't know what you got til it's gone.” When we were all forced to shelter-in-place and the world shut down for most of 2020, I felt this way about travel. Heading out for a quick weekend, or a trip with friends, was just a normal occurrence… until it wasn't. Like so many things, this changed with the pandemic, and I'm finding myself more grateful than ever to be able to talk about travel again. I mentioned this week that vacation planning (or should I say dreaming/browsing/brainstorming?) is one of my favorite pastimes. This week, we're continuing our conversation about travel and finishing up some of our favorite go-to spots and quick getaways. Whether you're up for a lengthy flight (aloha!) or you're wanting a quick road trip, we've got you covered. And I failed to mention the trip that David and I just booked recently. We wanted a quick trip somewhere cool (literally) to celebrate the end of the it's-so-hot-outside-I-may-actually-catch-on-fire season, also known as a Texas summer. I've been wanting to go glamping- although I really wish we could find another name- for a long time. Big Cedar near Table Rock Lake has some really cool options at their new development, Camp Long Creek. We're headed there at the end of the month to spend a few nights in one of their canvas glamping tents! I'll report back and let you all know how it goes, but based on the forecast of highs in the low 70's, I can tell you it's probably going to be magical. Thanks as always for listening to us ramble. Here are a few links to help you find things we mentioned in the podcast. Don't forget to tell us where you book your next trip!
