We explore the story Frozen Charlotte – a young woman who dies from exposure on a winter night – which inspired a popular ballad, and gave name to a type of doll sold from the 1800s through the mid 1900s. Along the way, we weave in the Cure, desserts, and the royal family. Jon and Sam from Riverbend stop by once again to discuss some paranormal comics.

Goatman

Octavian and Ian from Strange Dominions podcast join Timothy for a night hike. An X-shaped stick glyph is found and, afterward, several low grunts and other weird sounds are heard across the creek. Unknown things move through the night. A fox–or something–follows the trio back to their vehicle. An Albatwitch locks eyes with Timothy.
