Summary

🎙 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? Join us as we pull back the veil on a case that is as harrowing as it is haunting. 💌 Email us your thoughts or personal encounters with the unexplained: [email protected] 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @thedevilwithinpod 🔗 Listen & subscribe: The Devil Within on Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-devil-within/id1569216112) ✅ If you enjoy the show, please follow, rate, and review The Devil Within on your favorite podcast app. Your support keeps the darkness alive. #TheDevilWithinPodcast #KidwellyCult #TrueCrimeUK #CultsAndCrime #TheDevilWithin #RitualAbuse #TrueCrimePodcast #DarkHistory #MindControl #ExposingEvil #BehindTheChapel #PodcastRecommendations Learn more about your ad choices.

1:24.5	so unspeakable, it forced the people of Kidwelly to look again at their neighbors
