  Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore, a bonus episode that's designed to serve as a topical guide to the most recent episode of Lore. In this short bonus episode, I'm gonna dig into our archive of 11 years of topics and point out some old ones that fit well with this week's newest. The hope is that you can keep this spooky feeling going well into the weekend and maybe put a few old episodes into a new, more powerful context. This week for episode 307, we revisit the classic episode Mary Mary. This real-life story of loss, grief, and hope that a family found in spiritualism is haunting on so many levels. It's one of my absolute favorite episodes across the entire 11-year run.

  But it's not the first time that we've discussed the spirit world. So here are three older episodes that should pair up nicely with this week's revisit. First, episode 37, Passing Notes. I can never not recommend this episode, partly because it's a perfect introduction to the world of spiritualism in the 19th century, but also because it's just really creepy. So creepy, in fact, that it went on to inspire an episode in the first season of the Lore TV show on Amazon. So maybe give this one a re-listen and then go watch that episode on TV, right? Next, download episode 79, Locked Away. Just how far did spiritualism cause some people to go? Well, this episode focuses on one of the best stories to answer that question.

  If you've never learned about her, now is your chance to meet the legendary Sarah Winchester. And finally, there's episode 215, Mind Over Matter. You see, at the center of so many of these... ...stories about spiritualism is a special kind of individual, the medium. And they were so special that they often became celebrities in their own right. This episode unpacks a few of our favorites. And there you go, folks. Follow up this week's episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 37, 79, and 215 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. You can 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.
