Every legend has a beginning, and every monster has a history. In Lore and More: Season 1, Liz Waddell-co-host of the long-running Devil's Trap Podcast-takes readers beyond the screen to investigate the real-world mythological roots of the television phenomenon Supernatural.
This is not a simple episode guide. It is a deep dive into the shadows of American folklore and ancient cultural myths. From the tragic origins of the Lady in White and the terrifying history of the Wendigo to the practical, historical use of salt in ghost hunting, this anthology provides the cultural context for the legends that define the Winchester brothers' first year on the road.
Readers will explore:
- Urban Legends & Deep History: Detailed investigations into the "Second Salem" of Whitewater, Wisconsin, and the haunting reality of Bloody Mary.
- Cultural Mythologies: Biblical lore surrounding the Key of Solomon and the ancient origins of the Vanir, Daevas, and Tulpas.
- Regional Horrors: The history of the "Phantom Killer" of Texarkana and the true story of the Bloody Benders.
Drawing on over five years of podcasting and tens of thousands of international downloads, Waddell brings an established platform and a direct line to the "SPN Family". Whether you are a dedicated hunter or a general fan of the occult, Lore and More stands alone as a fascinating exploration of the stories that keep us afraid of the dark.
