Christmas taught most of us that it was acceptable for an odd stranger to invade our home and demonstrate unusual knowledge of our family. But there are far more terrifying strangers than old St. Nick. This classic Lore episode has been updated with fresh narration and production, and a brand new story at the end.

For centuries, various cultures have leaned on their justice system to provide safety from those who threaten their daily lives. But when a community lacks those resources and finds themselves facing constant danger at every turn, they’re often left with only one option, and the results can be tragic.

The structures that serve as lighthouses on the edge of darkness and danger deserve a revisit, and this Remastered classic episode should bring some fresh chills. New narration, music by Chad Lawson, and a brand new bonus story at the end. Enjoy!

The monsters from folklore that make the biggest impact on us are also the ones that are the most similar to us. It’s almost as if the most dangerous creatures of all are the ones that have a healthy dose of humanity in them.

As promised, here's the first edition of Lore on YouTube, filmed today and given a simple production treatment.
Nothing fancy or too far from the audio version of the podcast, because I want people who find the show on YouTube to feel "at home" if/when they move over to the podcast.

One of the oldest and most common beliefs in the world is also the source of intense fear and debate. But there are historical events on record that make it difficult to trust everything we hear…no matter how terrifying they might be.

Just an irregular reminder that before we started our Remastered project, new episodes of Lore only came out every other week. That's two weeks apart, with a lonely, unused "off-week" in the middle with no Lore stories. So sad!
But after nearly seven years, I've had to admit that the sound quality of old episodes just isn't up to today's standards. Plus, I've grown as a narrator, and Chad's music is an important part of my vision for each episode.
So if you see a Remastered episod...

Many of the darkest moments from history were born out of a perfect storm of motivation, fear, and misguided courage. And in the case of one individual, that became a recipe for something beyond horrific.
