Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lur, a bonus episode designed to serve as a topical guide to the most recent episode of lore. We've got a lot of stories in our back catalog over 11 years' worth of topics, and the purpose of deeper lore is to maybe point out some old episodes that fit well with the new one you heard this week. My hope is that maybe you can keep that spooky feeling going into the weekend, putting a handful of old episodes into a new, more powerful context. So let's get started. This week for lore 315 all shook up, we unpacked the wild and dangerous world of earthquakes and the stories people have told about them. After all, what is the core purpose of folklore, if not to give us explanations for the mysteries of the world we live in? But it's not the first time we've discussed such things, so here are three older episodes that should pair nicely with this week's new one. First up, episode 32, tampered. This classic

lore episode is all about the ways we try to blame someone else for our misfortunes, and along the way that habit has helped us give birth to some amazing creatures. I think you're going to love this one. Next, download episode 196, Bad Seed. For something relegated to mundane conversation, weather is actually pretty fun, especially when you dig into cool topics like weather magic. My forecast is that you're going to really enjoy this episode, so do check it out. And finally, there's episode 204 alluring. Ghost lights have been a part of folklore around the globe for centuries. They might come with many different names, but the stories all serve the same purpose to explain some strange phenomena that real people have encountered. This one is a great explanation of all

of that and more. So there you go. Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 32, 196, and 204 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can and just scroll through your app to find them, or you can tap on their direct links in the description for this episode. And until next time, stay spooky.
