Fringe Beyond Limits

In 2011, police entered the small apartment of Anatoly Moskvin, a respected scholar in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, only to uncover one of the most disturbing discoveries in modern crime history: 29 mummified corpses of young girls, dressed as life-sized dolls. 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? Step inside the dollmaker’s dark world and decide for yourself. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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. This half-goat, half-demon creature is said to follow St. Nicholas during the Yuletide season, punishing naughty children with chains, birch rods, and even a sack to carry them away. In this chilling episode of Fringe Beyond Limits, we explore the origins of the Krampus legend, tracing it back through Alpine pagan traditions and its strange fusion with Christian celebrations. We uncover the terrifying rituals of Krampusnacht, the creature’s symbolic role as a shadow to St. Nicholas, and how this demonic figure has clawed his way into modern pop culture. 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? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
