The Rock Maze and Ritual Hill
2026/04/23
First, Chad and Timothy take the Appalachian Trail up a steep mountain to an area known as the Rock Maze. A tall cairn seems to appear, lights are seen, and something large crashes through the trees. Next, Timothy returns to Hex Hollow for a day full of synchronicity and strangeness, ending with what seems to be the reactivation of the long-dormant chessboard.

The Grey Man
2026/02/12
Ross tells about a horrid-looking, tall, pale being which hung around his boyhood home, beckoning him from the trees. After making a deal with a faun-like entity to get rid of the pale thing, it later returned, perhaps drawn by occult practice.

Shapeshifters on Fox Ridge
2026/02/01
Timothy follows a forgotten path through a lonesome hollow, then climbs a ridge to find some very old cairns, and a drystone wall of unknown origin. A huge fox appears in the valley below. Human tracks, seen coming from a game trail, seemingly disappear and turn into canine tracks. Barking dogs surround the ridge. Someone is seen... after making way to the location, more canine tracks are found. The closing songs are Reynardine by Timothy ( https://stonebreath.bandcamp.com/album/the-sly-bold-reynardine ), and The Red Dog Fox by Stone Breath ( https://stonebreath.bandcamp.com/album/cryptids ). Episode art by Timothy. The original can be purchased on etsy: https://lostgrave.etsy.com/listing/4450858201
