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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

One more tale from the Boston area. With any luck, you'll never hear the name "Mystic River" the same way again.

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.

Some stories are difficult to believe, even when there are crowds to back up their claims. This is one of those stories.

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...

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.

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.

A little Puritan New England tale to warm you up on a chilly (at least here) morning.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

December Rewards
The 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 that.
The moment they arrive, they'll be signed, packed up, and shipped out. I promise. In the meantime, keep yer pants ...

Greetings, faithful listeners!
Here's your brand new Lore Extra, hot off the press.
Next Monday would normally be a full episode release day, but that's the day after Christmas. Since I know many of you will be traveling for the holidays, I wanted to give you something to listen to on your flight or car ride, so Episode 50 will be coming out THIS week, on Friday morning. I think you're going to love it.
Stay spooky, and see you next time,

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.

Hello everyone!
I wanted to give you a preview into some of the changes coming with the start of 2017. This past year has been a great experience, and I've learned a lot. A lot about what you love, and a lot about what sort of work is involved in creating rewards on a regular basis. I've been listening and taking notes, and I think I can do better.
Add to that the changes to my schedule that the TV show production are going to demand. Even while I'm n...

Greetings, faithful listeners!
Today's episode might be a couple weeks early in terms of the holiday schedule, but I think it's better to already have this one bouncing around in your head when you gather for the holidays later this month.
Side note that I don't mention in the episode: I was born and raised about 20 miles from the setting of this story, but never once heard it told to by friends or family. I think it's a forgotten piece of Illinois history, and...
