Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome to Deeper Lore, a bonus episode designed to be a topical guide to the most recent episode of Lore. As of this week, we've actually published 301 brand new episodes on this show, between the regular Lore episodes and Lore Legends. That's 150 hours of storytelling, more than six full days from end to end. So naturally, it's hard to track down specific episodes. Some folks have favorites that they revisit over and over.

But a lot of the time, what really happens is you hear a new episode, and it sparks an interest in other stories on the same topic, to go a bit deeper into the lore. Thus, deeper lore. I know, creative, right? So yes, this will be a short and sweet little bonus episode, but it's not meant to be entertainment per se, but instead serve as a guide to you. Love a topic? Well, here are some episodes to try out or revisit.

It's that simple. This week for episode 264, Engine Trouble, we slip behind the wheel of some transportation folklore, examining the idea of the 264 engine trouble, we slip behind the wheel of some transportation folklore, examining the idea of haunted vehicles. It's one of those topics that sounds super modern at first, right? Until you really dig into the roots of the folklore, and then it opens up in a surprising way. And it's not the first time that we've done that.

So here are three more episodes that will resonate well with this particular theme. First up, episode 149, off track. Some kinds of vehicles attract more folklore than others. And for some reason, which this episode unpacks, this is very true of trains. Before writing this one, I fully expected the stories to be a bit stale or already done, but it ended up really surprising me. As the title suggests, it quickly went off the rails. Next, download episode 209, Thick and Thin.

Let me just point out that it is now October. I know that a lot of you sort of live the Halloween lifestyle year round, but most folks tend to keep their classic spook stuff limited to October. So this vehicle episode is right up that alley. The folklore surrounding witch transportation. Trust me, it is super fun. And finally, I recommend you go listen to episode 89, Fanning the Flames. Now full confession, this one isn't about transportation folklore per se, but one section

of this tour of Chicago focuses on one of the key transportation legends in all of folklore. And for that reason, if you love cars and ghosts, you cannot skip giving episode 89 a relisten. So there you go. Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 149, 209 and 89 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can just scroll down in the app and find them and tap them, or you can tap their direct links in the

description for this little bonus episode and until next time stay spooky.
