2017-05-01 11:38:52 +0000 UTC View PostH.P. Lovecraft said it best: “…the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”. And no other place in the world is as unknown to us as the ocean. It’s dark, it’s deep, it’s full of questions—and maybe something else.

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.

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 b...

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...
