Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome to Deeper Lore, a bonus episode designed to be a topical guide to the most recent episode of lore. Now, some folks have favorites they like to revisit over and over again. Others enjoy listening to certain topics. They hear a new episode on one subject and it sparks an interest in other stories on the same topic. The trouble is, with more than 300 episodes to pick from, it's hard to track down specific ones. So this little bonus episode is here to help, offering a guide to folks who want to go a bit deeper into the lore, thus the name, Deeper Lore.

This week for episode 265, Friend or Foe, we get a little bit creepy with a discussion of something many of us have experience with, imaginary friends. And contrary to the perception that this is limited to the vivid imaginations of little school kids, the truth sends us down some terrifying roads. Invisible visitors and unseen observers, though, are common elements in folklore and we've covered similar tales in the past. So here are three more episodes that resonate well with that particular theme. First up, episode 82, Forgotten.

This is the first episode I ever made about ghost towns, and one of the common themes that comes up in ghost town stories time and time again is this notion that visitors to those sorts of places often report the feeling that they're being watched. Come for the dusty abandoned towns and stay for that spine tingling thrill. Next, download episode 131, Sea of Change. Everyone loves a good nautical tale, and those spooky ghost ship stories are always a hit, but hidden within many of them is the notion

that people who step foot on a ghost ship often feel like hidden eyes are following them. This old episode is a classic one that demonstrates that eerie feeling. And finally, I recommend you go listen to episode 11 of Lore Legends, called Dark Watchers. This one delivers exactly what's on the tin, stories of people who have felt themselves in situations where some otherworldly visitor has stood watch over them and stalked them. It's chilling stuff and probably best listened to with the lights on.

So there you go. Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 82, 131, and Lore Legends 11 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. Just scroll down in your app and find them, or you can tap on their direct links in the description for this bonus episode. And until next time, stay spooky.
