Two great streams of light appeared in the sky overhead, crossing directly over Hildegard's room.

A vision?

Perhaps, or maybe just a thank you to the woman who had done mysterious things in more ways than one.

This episode of Lore was researched, written, and produced by me, Aaron Manke, with additional research help from Jenna Rose Nethercott, and writing help from Harry Marks, and music from Chad Lawson.

Just a reminder, I have a brand new history book coming out on August 4th called Exhumed, which explores the roots of the New England vampire panic through the lens of centuries of folklore, medical advancements, pseudoscience, and philosophy.

It's available for pre-order right now.

And if you pre-order the hardcover, my publisher has a cool webpage set up where you can submit your receipt and get a free gorgeous tote bag.

Head over to AaronMankey.com slash exhumed to lock in your copy today.

The link is in the description.

I like it when people say hi.

And as always, thanks for listening.

They weren't the usual suspects.

To be fair, there were a lot of weird targets during the height of the Satanic Panic in the 1980s.
