Episode 59: A Deep Fear (ad-free)
H.P. Lovecraft said it best: “…the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”. And no other place in the world is as unknown to us as the ocean. It’s dark, it’s deep, it’s full of questions—and maybe something else.
Episode 58: The Devil's Beat (ad-free)
Human culture has a different expression no matter where you go. Despite that variety, though, we do share one common thread: music. And while it has typically been a source of joy, there have been moments when music has brought something else: fear, pain, and horror.
Lore Extra 42: Unholy Acts
Let's return to the French countryside one more time, where religious fear ran deep and names are difficult for Aaron's uncivilized tongue to pronounce.
Episode 57: Quarantine (ad-free)
Nearly four centuries ago, a wave of sickness spread through a community in the French countryside. It wasn’t a traditional disease they were fighting, though. This plague had a more sinister source.

Lore Extra 41: In the Dark
Some stories have a little more to tell us. Like a satellite, not quite part of the main planet, but essential to the overall experience. Which is why we need to spend a few more minutes near the Red River in Adams, Tennessee.
Episode 56: Going Viral (ad-free)
Fear has a way of spreading. It’s contagious, moving from person to person. Given enough time, fear can consume an entire community. Sometimes, though, there’s good reason to be afraid.
Lore Extra 40: A Head of Steam
One more tale from the Boston area. With any luck, you'll never hear the name "Mystic River" the same way again.
Episode 55: A Way Inside (ad-free)
Folklore is more than just a collection of stories; it’s the soul of a culture or location. Without them, our world has less texture and beauty. And like the stories themselves, some places have spirits that creep in and take up residence.

Lore Extra 39: The U-Turn
Some stories are difficult to believe, even when there are crowds to back up their claims. This is one of those stories.
Episode 54: Teacher’s Pet (ad free)
The more crowded our world becomes, the more frequently we are confronted with our commonality. Our interests, our passions…even our appearance. But just how similar can we get?Well, that’s the stuff of folklore...
Extra 38: One Word
A picture says a thousand words, according to the old cliche. Sometimes, though, one word can paint a thousand pictures. And not all of them are pretty.
Episode 53: Trees and Shadows (ad-free)
Our connection to animals is ancient, intimate, and complex. Humans have worshiped them, sacrificed them, lived with them, and been buried with them. But folklore from all over the world hints at a darker connection, and it just might be true.

Extra 37: Possessed
A little Puritan New England tale to warm you up on a chilly (at least here) morning.
Episode 52: Negative Consequences (ad free)
History is full of criminals. They come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. Some are cheerful, some are dark. Some, however, steal more than money or precious belongings. To be caught in their web means paying the ultimate price.
Extra 36: A Leg Up
Sometimes folklore evolves from truth. Sometimes reality begs us to craft an explanation. Either way, the story is always powrful, and just a little bit creepy.
Episode 51: Within the Walls (ad free)
We crave safety. We build rules and systems and even physical barriers in order to create a sense of security. But darkness has a way of creeping in, no matter how powerful the walls might be.
Extra 35: A Bridge Too Far
Some journeys don't go as planned. Some refuse to end. This is the story of one of those journeys, born of fire and ice and built with brittle wood and cold steel.Travel safely...

Episode 50: Mary, Mary (ad-free)
The Spiritualist movement placed a large focus on reaching beyond the veil, which made us the outsiders pressing into a foreign realm. In the late 1800’s, however, that realm pressed back, and what a wonder it turned out to be.
Final Anthology Thoughts
Hey folks!Some thoughts on the Lore Anthology, and what's going on with it.——————————December RewardsThe month is running late, and the December Anthologies haven't shipped yet. This is due to a delay at my print facility, which is, in turn, probably due to the holiday rush. Ho ho ho and all...

Episode 49: Seeing Double (ad-free)
It’s often said that our real identity is the person we are in private, away from the public eye. Over two centuries ago, however, one person gave life to that idea, and in the process, gave birth to an entirely new thing to fear.
