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.
