    Beneath the bustling, beating heart of Richmond Virginia - beyond the glare of city lights and veild from prying eyes - lies a shadowed passageway that conceals one of the most unsettling threats to the locals. This, abyss, carved through the ancient bones of the earth, was once a thriving rail line; but once whispers of a sinister entity began to echo through the annals of local lore, the tunnel was evacuated and sealed one hundred years ago. Unfortunately, due to the lack of urgency, events would lead to inexplicable carnage, mangled corpses, and innumberable deaths. Was this merely the cost of greed and folly, a tragedy written by mortal hands? Or, had the digging awoken something far more insidious - something eternal, something ravenous, something that still prowls within the suffocating dark?

    Hey there everyone! Sorry this is not a full episode like I'm sure many of you were hoping for when you saw this get uploaded. I'm just dropping a small update about what life has been like for me at the start of this new year. I've taken on some freelance work to do Audio Narrations and Voice work for some people, so I'be been focusing my time on those projects and the regular release of episodes for Moonlight Lore will just have to wait for a bit unfortunatly. But don't worry, a new, full length episode will be dropping at the end of the month, so I'm not leaving you all high and dry out there. Moonlight Lore is just simply taking a little break at the moment, so expect maybe just a few shorter episodes here and there that don't really amount to, what I would consider, as being regular episodes. Sorry for delivering some not so great news, but I promise, once I'm done with this work, Moonlight Lore will be back in full swing with some very exciting topics! Take care everyone!

    2022 Yule Holiday Special

    Christmas time has taken many traditions from the Yule celebration, but one that seemed to have been left behind was the tradition of sharing ghost stories around a roaring fire. As Yule is the celebration of the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year, it was believed it was on this day that spirits and ghosts would cross over into our world from theirs, and interact with the living. Thus the practice of telling telling ghost stories came to be. In this holiday special, I decided I wanted to bring back this tradition, and brought you all five ghostly tales, that may or may not be true, for you to enjoy.
