Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells isn’t all holiday cheer. From swamp-dwelling cryptids that lure with chimes, to phantom bells tolling from sunken kingdoms, to the ominous Belled Buzzard and a chilling modern encounter in the woods—this episode explores how bells ring not just with joy, but with warning, deception, and dread.

It’s Christmas Eve, and while sleigh bells jingle in frosted streets, Journey to the Fringe invites you to listen closer. Because not every bell signals joy. Some toll from beneath the sea, echoing the downfall of lost kingdoms like Ys and Cantre’r Gwaelod. Some ring from phantom towers, warning of tragedy yet to come. Others chime from the shadows of the forest, held by hands that should not exist.
