Urban Legends: Where Folklore Meets Fear - Part 1

On this episode of Fringe Beyond Limits the hosts mix playful banter (including a running joke about Steve, sweet potatoes, and “spaghetti soup”) with a deep dive into classic and modern urban legends.

They explore stories from Resurrection Mary and the vanishing hitchhiker to Bloody Mary, Japanese rituals like Hanako-san and Daruma-san, and internet-born myths such as the Backrooms, Siren Head, and the Momo panic — examining history, psychology, and why these tales persist.

Equal parts funny and chilling, the episode looks at how urban legends reflect cultural fears and invites listeners to keep their eyes open — and maybe avoid chanting alone in a dark bathroom.
