Lady Saelym & Madame Omen

Beyond the Past is a Galveston-based podcast exploring true crime, history, and the stories that refuse to stay buried. Rooted in documented events, newspaper records, and firsthand accounts, each episode examines the people, places, and tragedies that shaped Galveston, and the silence that followed.

From pirates and early settlers to epidemics, unsolved crimes, and forgotten lives, Beyond the Past separates history from legend while acknowledging the lore born in the spaces between. This is not a ghost story podcast. It is a historical true crime series grounded in facts, context, and respect for those who lived the stories.

Hosted by Lady Saelym and Madame Omen, Beyond the Past is set on Galveston Island, Texas, a place claimed again and again by storms, industry, crime, and loss. Some stories were recorded. Others were whispered. All of them left something behind.

New episodes release weekly.
