We love to simplify things. Easy is better than complex, after all, and simple things are easy to understand. Sadly, though, the people around us are far from simple; they are complex and layered, with deep, hidden stories just waiting to be discovered.   * * * This episode of Lore was sponsored by: Squarespace : If you're passionate about it, show it off.

Whether it’s a forgotten birthday, or the small puddle of water beneath your water heater in the basement, not noticing things can have consequences. And sometimes, those details can be a matter of life and death. * * * This episode of Lore was sponsored by: Fracture:  Fracture is changing the way you print photos.

Like a well-loved pair of shoes, or those jeans you bought in college and never gave up on, some things become worn out over time. But when that thing is a physical location, eroded away by thousands of years of human activity and deep, rich folklore, what sort of nightmares might we expect to pour in through the hole? There’s only one way to find out. * * * This episode of Lore was sponsored by: The Great Courses Plus : Hundreds of topics taught by professors and experts, all in one enormous video library.
