| 6/15/26 | ![]() Runaway Nuns: Convent Heist to Chateau Dreams | In this episode, the Compendium team tells the true story of eight Belgian nuns who, fed up with strict church rules and impending closure, secretly sold their 600-year-old convent, bought a castle in southern France, and embraced a life of luxury. With help from a groundskeeper, they navigated legal loopholes, faced backlash from the Church, and experienced a dramatic legal battle and eventual return to Belgium. The episode explores motivations, church hypocrisy, and surprising twists—touching on financial schemes, alleged romances, and the fallout that followed. | — | ||||||
| 6/10/26 | ![]() Slenderman: From Creepypasta to Real-Life Horror | Hosts of Fringe Beyond Limits unpack the Slenderman phenomenon, tracing its origin as a 2009 creepypasta and how it grew into modern internet folklore. They cover Slenderman's characteristics and cultural spread, and examine the 2014 Waukesha stabbing, discussing mental health, legal outcomes, and parental responsibility.

| 6/4/26 | ![]() The Mind Control Doctor: Jolly West & MK-ULTRA’s Missing Link | This episode follows the controversial career of psychiatrist Louis J. West — his ties to MKUltra, experiments with hypnosis and drugs, the infamous Tusko LSD study, and his role in high‑profile cases from Jack Ruby to cult violence. Hosts discuss the ethical fallout, the blurred line between research and coercion, and the lingering questions about memory, manipulation, and power. | — | ||||||
| 5/28/26 | ![]() Between Fire and Shadow: The Jinn and the Watchers Among Us | On this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits the hosts explore jinn and shadow figures, tracing accounts from Islamic tradition alongside modern reports of sleep paralysis and shadow people. They share historical cases and eyewitness stories, consider how these beings might observe or attach to people, and discuss the overlap between cultural explanations and scientific interpretations. The conversation invites listeners to ponder whether these persistent reports point to an external presence operating at the edges of perception or to internal experiences shaped by the mind, or perhaps a mix of both. | — | ||||||
| 5/18/26 | ![]() Cursed Objects: Some Things Should Never Be Touched | On this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits, the hosts explore alleged cursed objects—ordinary items rumored to bring tragedy or misfortune. They discuss famous tales and artifacts, from the Hope Diamond and Otzi the Iceman to Busby’s Chair, James Dean’s Porsche, the Crying Boy paintings, and more. Through folklore, investigative skepticism, and listener reactions, the show examines how stories transform objects into legends and asks whether the real power lies in the artifacts or in the stories we tell about them. | — | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | ![]() Goodbye Isn’t Always the End: The Dangerous Game of the Ouija Board | Join the hosts of Fringe Beyond as they dive into the unsettling history and lore of the Ouija board, mixing personal encounters, famous cases, scientific explanations, and pop culture influence. From Patience Worth and AA’s founder to creepy modern Reddit tales, they explore whether the board is a psychological trick or a real bridge to the beyond. Expect personal stories, experiments, and a lively debate on safety rules, the ideomotor effect, and why the board still captivates — and terrifies — people after more than a century. | — | ||||||
| 5/4/26 | ![]() MK-ULTRA: The Invisible Experiment | In this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits the hosts unravel the history and human cost of MKUltra — from the mysterious death of Frank Olson and unethical LSD dosing to Operation Midnight Climax, Dr. Ewan Cameron’s brutal experiments, and the CIA’s destruction of files. They explore how Cold War fear drove dangerous research, the limited results of so-called mind control efforts, and the program’s lasting cultural and ethical fallout. Through testimony, investigations, and cultural connections, the episode examines what is known, what remains uncertain, and why MKUltra continues to provoke questions about power, consent, and governmental secrecy. | — | ||||||
| 4/27/26 | ![]() The Thunder Rolls and So Do the Accusations: Is Garth Brooks a Serial Killer? | This episode examines how a dark joke about Garth Brooks evolved into a widespread online theory, tracing the origins, key moments (including the Chris Gaines alter ego), and the list of cases and timelines people used to connect the dots. The hosts explore how pattern-seeking, mobility, anonymous accounts, and narrative structure can make speculation feel convincing—even without evidence—and end by asking why such stories stick. | — | ||||||
| 4/20/26 | ![]() No Spark. No Evidence. No Escape: Spontaneous Human Combustion | A body reduced to ash… yet the room remains untouched. No accelerant. No clear ignition. No explanation. In this episode, we dive into some of the most chilling and controversial cases of spontaneous human combustion—from a 15th-century knight in Milan to modern-day investigations that left experts baffled. Witness accounts, forensic anomalies, and patterns that refuse to make sense all point to one unsettling question: can the human body really ignite from within? | — | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | ![]() Resurrection and Rebirth: The Story Humanity Keeps Telling | What if the most powerful story ever told wasn’t created… but remembered? Across time, across cultures, across continents—humanity has told the same story. A fall into darkness. A period of silence. And then… a return. From ancient myths to modern religion, from the movement of the sun to the cycles within our own lives, the pattern never disappears—it only changes form. In this episode, we explore the possibility that resurrection isn’t just a belief… it’s a structure. A repeating cycle embedded in nature, in the sky, and maybe even within us. Is Easter purely a religious event, or is it aligned with something much older—something cosmic? Why do civilizations that never touched tell the same story? And what happens when we zoom out far enough to see the pattern for what it might be? Different cultures… same story… different names. This isn’t about what to believe. It’s about what keeps showing up. | — | ||||||

| 3/30/26 | ![]() Lurid Lakes: Still Waters, Darker Secret | This episode journeys to the world’s most unsettling lakes, blending science, history and folklore to reveal how water can preserve, kill, or hide mysteries. From Tanzania’s stone-like carcasses and the Himalayan Skeleton Lake to Cameroon’s deadly limnic eruption and Siberia’s abyssal encounters, the hosts unpack eerie phenomena and local legends. They also explore submerged towns, ancient bog burials, toxic contamination and undersea brine pools, asking what remains beneath still water—and why those depths continue to haunt us. | — | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | ![]() Beyond the Pot of Gold: Real Leprechaun | On this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits the hosts dig into authentic leprechaun folklore — from their origins as red‑coated, solitary cobblers of the fairy world to the modern green mascot. They explore why leprechauns make only left shoes, the rules of capture, and the role of fairy paths and hawthorn trees in Irish tradition. Mixing historical sources and modern sightings (including the Carlingford incident and 20th‑century accounts), the conversation traces how commercialization and legal protection reshaped the leprechaun’s image while keeping its trickster spirit alive. | — | ||||||
| 3/9/26 | ![]() Valiant Thor: The Visitor We Turned Away | In this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits, the hosts explore the enduring story of Valiant Thor — a man-like visitor who allegedly lived in the Pentagon from 1957–1960 to warn humanity about nuclear weapons and offer a path to peace and clean energy. Drawing from Frank E. Stranges’ accounts and the philosophical book Outwitting Tomorrow, the episode examines testimony, motive, and why such an offer might have been rejected. As the hosts reflect on Cold War anxieties, moral responsibility, and the tension between technological power and ethical maturity, they ask whether the story matters for its truth or its warning. Ultimately, the episode challenges listeners to consider whether humanity would accept help that required us to change who we are. | — | ||||||

This episode traces its discovery, the scientific dating and analysis, major theories (from medieval herbals to alchemy, hoaxes, and extraterrestrial origins), and the decades of failed attempts by cryptographers, linguists, and AI to decode it. Join the hosts as they unpack the manuscript's sections, debate its purpose, and consider why some mysteries may be meant to stay unsolved. | — | ||||||
| 2/23/26 | ![]() The Rumors, The Ranch, the Redactions: Inside Area 51 | In this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits, the hosts trace Area 51’s evolution from a remote mining and test site to a top-secret Cold War flight center and modern stealth hub, and explore how secrecy bred decades of UFO lore. They discuss pivotal programs and figures — the U‑2 and A‑12 projects, Project Oxcart, Bob Lazar’s claims, alleged autopsy footage, MJ‑12 myths, underground and hybrid theories — and the 2019 Storm Area 51 phenomenon. Through skeptical and curious perspectives, the episode probes government secrecy, disinformation, and why Area 51 still captivates both skeptics and believers. | — | ||||||

This episode blends personal anecdotes with historical case files (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Cobain, Winehouse, and others), theories about numerology, fame’s pressures, and whether the 27 Club is a myth, a contagion, or a warning the culture can change. | — | ||||||
| 2/9/26 | ![]() The 13 Bloodlines of the Illuminati pt.3 | On this episode the hosts unpack Fritz Springmeier’s theories on the 13 Illuminati bloodlines, the five ruling families, and the internal rivalries that fuel alleged covert power struggles. They discuss claimed corrective removals, monarch mind-control survivors, and high-profile conspiracies—Titanic, JFK, Princess Diana—while reflecting on evidence, whistleblowers, and the role of media, secrecy, and public belief in maintaining or exposing hidden power. The conversation mixes pop culture, listener anecdotes (including a recurring Walmart theme), debates over ritual vs. theater, and questions about the Federal Reserve, surveillance, and whether exposure, deprogramming, or mass awakening could unravel these secret structures. | — | ||||||

To his neighbors, Moskvin had seemed like a harmless eccentric—a man who spoke 13 languages, wrote about Celtic history, and spent his nights wandering cemeteries. But behind closed doors, he was living among the dead, convinced he was giving them love, safety, and a chance at resurrection. In this chilling episode of Fringe Beyond Limits, we unravel Moskvin’s lonely childhood, his strange fascination with death, the delusions that drove him to exhume graves, and the shocking police investigation that exposed his “daughters.” Was he a monster, a madman, or a tragic figure consumed by obsession?

| 12/22/25 | Yuletide’s Dark Side: The Legend of Krampus | Christmas is often seen as a season of joy, light, and generosity—but hidden in the folklore of Central Europe lurks a much darker figure: Krampus.

Is Krampus just a frightening holiday story, or does this legend reveal something deeper about humanity’s fascination with fear during the season of light? | — | ||||||
