Alison and Timothy relate the story of William Amos Wilson, also known as The Pennsylvania Hermit. After his sister was tragically hanged, Wilson became a hermit and lived in a cave for 19 years. Chad, Alison, and Timothy visit Indian Echo Caverns - Wilson’s Cave - for an underground tour and a visit to Wilson’s former residence.
