EP 247: The Alan and the Hunters; The Man and the Alan; Sogsogot (Cole)

In the first story, a man just wants to find some fire to roast a pig, but he comes across an Alan's house instead. What will he do? In the second story, a man plays dead and gets a reward from the Alans, but they wouldn't really burn down his house, would they? And in the third story, Sogsogot goes on a wild adventure and his ghost wife makes him throw feathers at other ghosts. Wild.
