    You've heard of Mothman, but what if your winged cryptid crush has… stone skin, a French etymology, and a penchant for rooftop brooding? In this episode, we crack open the cathedral and peer into the eerie, misunderstood world of gargoyles. From their architectural origins as grotesque water spouts to their modern cryptid cameos—like the Butler Gargoyle of Pennsylvania—we explore whether these stony sentinels are protectors, predators, or just really dramatic lawn ornaments. Bonus: real-life sightings that'll make you think twice about that statue on your neighbor's roof.---Are gargoyles just spooky stone sculptures—or something more? This episode of Journey to the Fringe dives into the myth, history, and modern sightings of gargoyle-like cryptids, including the infamous Butler Gargoyle of Pennsylvania. We explore their Gothic roots, their misunderstood role as protectors, and chilling eyewitness accounts from across North America. If you've ever wondered whether Mothman has a rocky cousin, this one's for you.---Sources Mentioned:• Cryptid Wiki• Phantoms and Monsters (Lon Strickler)• Mysterious Universe (Rob Morphy)

    Emanuel Swedenborg was an 18th‑century scientist who claimed to travel between heaven, hell, and even other planets. Was he a mystic genius or a dreamer lost in visions? In this episode, we uncover how his strange ideas shaped spiritualism, occultism, and even modern paranormal culture.–––Emanuel Swedenborg: Mystic, Scientist… and Proto‑Occultist?In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary life and afterlife of Emanuel Swedenborg—the Enlightenment thinker who claimed to converse with angels, demons, and spirits from other worlds. His doctrine of “correspondences,” the belief that every physical thing mirrors a deeper spiritual reality, became a cornerstone for mystics who wanted to read the universe as a vast symbolic text.We explore:Swedenborg's visions of the afterlife and cosmic journeysHow his writings influenced Helena Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, the Fox Sisters, and Daniel Dunglas HomeWhy poets like William Blake and thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson drew inspiration from himThe surprising role he played in the Theosophical Society, New Thought movement, and the occult revivalFrom séance parlors to cosmic philosophy, Swedenborg's influence ripples through spiritualism, mysticism, UFO lore, and modern occult culture. If you've ever wondered how Enlightenment science collided with fringe spirituality, this is the episode for you.

    What happens when someone claims they were possessed during a crime? In this episode of Journey to the Fringe, we explore the strange collision of demonic possession, criminal law, and insanity defenses. From the chilling Ossett murder case in England, to the infamous “Devil Made Me Do It” trial in Connecticut, to the Son of Sam killings and the execution of Sean Sellers, we uncover how courts wrestle with claims of the supernatural. Along the way, we examine the blurred lines between psychology, belief, and responsibility—and how possession defenses reveal society's deepest fears about evil, madness, and free will.–––What happens when the defense in a murder trial isn't insanity, self‑defense, or diminished capacity—but demonic possession?In this episode of Journey to the Fringe, we explore the eerie intersection of criminal law, psychology, and the supernatural. Courts don't recognize demons as legal entities, but history is full of defendants who claimed they were compelled by otherworldly forces. Judges and juries are then left to decide: was it psychosis, manipulation, or something darker?We examine some cases where possession collided with the justice system:The Ossett Murder Case (1974, England): An exorcism that ended in tragedy.“The Devil Made Me Do It” Trial (1981, Connecticut): Arne Cheyenne Johnson's shocking defense that inspired The Conjuring franchise.David Berkowitz, the “Son of Sam” (1976–77, New York): A serial killer who claimed a demon spoke to him.Sean Sellers (1980s, Oklahoma): A teenager who blamed Satanic possession for murders.R. v. Parks (1987, Canada): A case where sleepwalking, automatism, and criminal responsibility collided in unprecedented ways.Through these stories, we uncover how possession defenses reveal society's deepest anxieties about evil, free will, and accountability. The legal system may not validate the supernatural, but it cannot ignore the chaos such claims unleash in courtrooms and communities.

    Happy Friday… or is it…? This week, we dive into the slippery story of PFAS—also known as “forever chemicals”—and how DuPont helped introduce them into everyday life. From the accidental invention of Teflon by Roy J. Plunkett to DuPont's billion-dollar empire built on non-stick convenience, we trace the rise of PFAS and their dark legacy. These chemicals, once celebrated for their water and heat resistance, are now found in the blood of nearly every human and animal on Earth. We explore the health consequences, the decades of corporate cover-ups, environmental contamination, and the legal reckoning that followed. It's a tale of science, profit, and the hidden cost of convenience.Sources;https://www.unilad.com/news/us-news/how-dupont-invented-pfas-toxic-398729-20250516https://www.ecowatch.com/teflons-toxic-legacy-dupont-knew-for-decades-it-was-contaminating-wate-1882142514.htmlFurther ‘reading'-Dark water -The devil we know
