We hear the story of Jan Bryant Bartell, her book, Spindrift, and the synchronicities woven into her life - as well as the synchronicities Timothy and Alison experienced around the book. The house in which Jan lived would come to be known as the House of Death and is considered by some to be the most haunted residence in New York. Famous ghost hunter and author Hans Holzer brought a medium to Jan’s apartment and, later, wrote about her haunting in one of his books.If you would like to help us continue to make Strange Familiars, get bonus content, t-shirts, stickers, and more rewards, you can become a patron: http://www.patreon.com/StrangeFamiliarsIf you would prefer a one-time payment to help us out, here is a PayPal.me link - you can change the number 25 in the URL to any amount: https://www.paypal.me/timothyrenner/25Our Strange Familiars / Lost Grave etsy shop has art, books, patches, t-shirts, and more ... including original art done for Strange Familiars: https://www.etsy.com/shop/lostgraveStrange Familiars t-shirts and other designs are available here: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/strange-familiars?ref_id=14000Episode 196 notes and links:90 Days to the Perfect Puppy: https://perfectpuppies.sithappens.us/90-daysRiverbend Comics: https://www.riverbendcomics.comKarmic Garden: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KarmicGardenSpindrift and the Sandeman decanter, found at the same place - perhaps on the same day.Episode artwork is Timothy’s portrait of Jan Bryant Bartell:You can purchase the original artwork in our etsy shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/887172149/jan-bryant-bartell-spindrift-originalTimothy’s book of paranormal illustrations, Apparitions, is available to pre-order now… directly from us: https://www.strangefamiliars.com/home/apparitions-illustrations-of-the-other-book or, if you prefer, on etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/877387099/apparitions-art-book-by-timothy-rennerTimothy’s book, with co-author Joshua Cutchin  is available on Amazon: Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, volume 1Strange Familiars Photo of the Week #44: Dark Haired WomanThis photograph can be purchased in our etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/887169363/dark-haired-woman-strange-familiarsTimothy’s books: https://www.amazon.com/Timothy-Renner/e/B072X44SD5Strange Familiars ‘Awoken Tree’ t-shirts are available in our Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/739690857/strange-familiars-podcast-awoken-treeAlison: https://www.etsy.com/shop/odpeacockChad’s YouTube channel where you can see some videos of Pandemonium, the dynamite shack and more: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNB7MSJ2F1SRBPcQsEFLnvg (make sure to subscribe to Chad’s channel, Ruck Rabbit Outdoors.)Contact us via email at: strangefamiliarspodcast@gmail.comhttp://www.facebook.com/strangefamiliarsJoin the Strange Familiars Gathering group on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/strangefamiliars/instagram: @strangefamiliarshttp://www.strangefamiliars.comIntro and background music by Stone Breath.
