The Watcher
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.

Customer Reviews
One of my fave paranormal podcasts
Brings a lot of depth and in-the-field experiences to the conversation. I love how the host is always going out in the woods to listen and encounter!
The Minotaur episode
I love this podcast, but now I am disillusioned. As a genealogist, this episodes facts were just blatantly incorrect. The story teller tries to indicate that they did historical research, but their conclusions are so clearly erroneous it’s hard to believe any research was really done ☹️
Unique but Used to Be Much Better
Ironically I was a patron at a bad time for the host and dropped it. The host and the show are unique but the format has changed so that only patrons get the best and most interesting episodes which feature original research. Regular listeners are served interviews with others and they are not all worthwhile. Of course patrons deserve special shows but they seem to not care about other listeners or building their show and I’m tuning in less and less
