So, what do this animal

and this animal

and this animal

have in common?

They all live on an organic valley farm.

Organic Valley dairy comes from small organic family farms that protect the land and the plants and animals that live on it from toxic pesticides, which leads to a thriving ecosystem and delicious, nutritious milk and cheese.

Believe me, the Lore team and I are constantly trying to find things that we know we've covered and it's even a challenge for us.

So this bonus episode here is my attempt to offer a guide for all the folks who want to go a bit deeper into the folklore we covered in the newest episode this week.

This week for episode 272 TikTok, we get very esoteric.

So much of folklore is really foundational stuff.

Things like death or fear or witchcraft or murder.

But this week's episode unpacks a really weird corner of folklore that has to do with time, visions of the past, time-related devices with supernatural powers, those sorts of things.

It's a little different from our normal fare, but also really, really intriguing.

But believe it or not, this isn't the first time we've gone off the rails like this.

So here are three older episodes that will pair up nicely with this week's brand new one.

First, episode 154, adding it up.

It's not exactly about time, but it's definitely one of those episodes that steps outside the expected and explores a really weird part of folklore.

This one is all about numbers, which could be super academic, I know, but we opted for giving you a good mix of neat facts and chilling stories.

Do check it out.

Next, go download episode 157, Hanging On.

For this oldie, we took a look at the concept of immortality in folklore and examined some historical figures that were rumored to live beyond their expected lifespans.

It's a fun one, so don't miss a chance to revisit it this week.

And finally, I recommend you go listen to episode 192, Time Will Tell.

This one brings us right back to the idea of time, specifically time travel.

I honestly think it's the perfect companion episode to this week's new one.

So give it a listen or a re-listen and see if you agree.

And there you go.

Follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past.

This week, pun intended.
