Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lour, 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 293, Mother Knows Best, it's all about one famous British folk

figure, Mother Shipton.

Her story is incredible, and the legends are even better.

I really hope you enjoyed learning about her.

But it's not the first time we've discussed people who inspired a massive following through

paranormal talent. So here are three

older episodes that should pair up nicely with this week's new one. First up, episode 84, a family

affair. In this oldie, we visited the Vermont home of the Eddie family, a team of spiritualist

mediums who seemed to be able to do unbelievable things. Their business brought

in hundreds of people, all eager to get a glimpse of the impossible. Be sure to check it out.

Next, listen to episode 116, Something Blue. Not all cult leaders are benign. Linda Hazard is a good

example of that. Her diet-based cult ruined many lives

and did so in the most horrific way possible. And finally, there's episode 172 under the influence.

The story in this episode is terrifying to listen to, mostly because you can see the train wreck
