Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore, a bonus episode designed to serve as a topical guide to the most recent episode of lore. Why? Well, frankly, there are a lot of lore episodes in our catalog now. After 10 plus years, we've managed to write and publish over 350 episodes, each one containing multiple stories, characters, events, and creatures. It's a lot to try and remember, which is why the lore team and I have a massive spreadsheet with keywords to help us keep it all straight. So when we publish a new lore episode, they are often related in some way to older ones. And like pairing a fine wine with the right food, many of these new episodes just feel more complete when you can follow them up by listening to others that fit them. And there you go. That's the purpose of deeper lore. So let's get started, shall we? This week for episode 2992, message in a bottle, we take a spooky trip to Lake Michigan, which is home to a darker version of the Bermuda Triangle.

But it's not the first time we've discussed the dangers of massive bodies of water. So here are three older episodes that should pair up nicely with this week's new one. First up, episode 90, Mind the Gap. This classic episode was our first foray into the world of lake monsters. If you love the thought of something undiscovered and dangerous, living hidden beneath the surface of your local lake, this is the episode for you. Next, download episode 202, surface tension. For this episode, we traveled to Lake Lanier and spent our time exploring its legends and tragedies. For one single location, there certainly has been a lot of darkness.

Don't miss this one. And finally, episode 229 Dark Shapes. This is a small-town monster episode with the settings dialed into bodies of water. But those aren't the only bodies we discuss. So maybe keep your light on for this one. And there you go, folks. Follow up this week's brand new episode with the trip, into the past. Episodes 90, 202, and 229 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can just

scroll through the app to find them, or you can tap their direct links in the description for this episode. And until next time, stay spooky.
