Others though enjoy listening to episodes about certain topics.

It's common to hear a brand new episode and have it spark an interest in finding other stories that might be related.

But with over 300 episodes to sort through, it can be hard to track down specific ones.

Running a podcast for a decade has a way of building a pretty massive catalog of options.

So this bonus episode here is designed to offer a guide for folks who want to go a bit deeper into the lore, thus deeper lore.

Creative, I know.

This week for episode 269, There Goes My Hero, we slip back in time and revisit some of the most powerful military stories from American history.

But it's not the first time we've covered the ghosts of battle on the show.

So here are three more older episodes that should resonate well with this week's new one.

First up, episode 115, Perspective.

In this old classic, we visit the New England settlement of Gloucester, Massachusetts, where one military outpost faced off against an otherworldly foe.

This one is a conundrum, being both difficult to believe and also well documented.

So check it out.

Next, download episode 135, A Good Death.

For this episode, we head to a place that feels synonymous with battle in America, Gettysburg.

Not only do we cover some of the physical horrors of war, but some of the supernatural ones as well.

A lot of folks have had the chance to visit Gettysburg, and if you're one of them, this is a great way to enhance those memories.

And finally, I recommend you go listen to episode 161, Shell Game.

War, in general, has a way of creating some powerful experiences, which often lead to some odd superstitions.

So, this episode veers a bit outside of pure American history and gives you a tour of these wild and unusual wartime traditions.

So, there you go.
