Portlock, Alaska; the Roanoke Colony; the Vinland Settlement. All of these villages were rapidly abandoned at some point in the last millennium. But why? What drives people to leave well stocked, resource rich lands without any record of why they did it? Welcome back to The Lore Lodge…

At The Lore Lodge, we're big fans of the unknown. Folkloric creatures, unsolved disappearances, and lost civilizations are what really get us going. As you can imagine, Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse is something we took a keen interest in. In fact, Mattis has been watching Graham since 2019, and largely considers Hancock to be a major reason this channel came into existence. So, we brought in a guy who's made the trending page here on YouTube twice in the last two weeks by debunking Ancient Apocalypse. However, that's not all we're interested in today. The boys will also discuss the concept of "Atlantis" in the sense that there was an ancient civilization washed away in history, as well as the popular (if absurd) theory that there was once a great empire called Tartaria...and that it disappeared like last week.  Will Milo be able to convince Aidan that Graham is wrong? Will Aidan manage to persuade Milo into believing in Atlantis? Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

The wailing, mournful cry of the Banshee is well known in pop-culture, but there's a lot more to these mysterious beings than meets the eye - including a connection to Missing 411 and various other theories regarding multiple dimensions. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

The Rake is an infamous creepypasta from the early days of the internet. Most people who have encountered "The Rake" in media are aware of its origin as a monster story from 4chan and SomethingAwful, but is that all there is to this tale? Descriptions of ghoulish, nightmare creatures who visit us as we sleep are nothing new, so could The Rake be drawing on the existence of something else? And if it is, is that "something else" a product of our own imaginations, or a demonic presence which stalks us at our most vulnerable? Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...

History Daddy joins The Lore Lodge crew to discuss the best known of the cryptids: Sasquatch. If you're from North America, you probably have heard of Bigfoot. Statistically, about 1 in 10 people watching this video believe he's real. But is there evidence? Well...yes, actually. In 1972, Ron Morehead and Al Berry captured a series of strange vocalizations while camping high in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Their description, and the analysis performed at the University of Wyoming, suggest some things that match Native folklore about the "Sasq'ets", a race of large, hairy, violent creatures of disputed humanity which dwell in extensive cave systems deep in the forests. Today, we're talking about it. Welcome back to The Lore Lodge...
