Timothy and Alison present the story of GFGE Thomas, a hermit who lived on a remote section of the battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Was he a practicing folk magician? Who or what tormented him in his lonely abode? Two years after the hermit’s death, his cabin burnt down under mysterious circumstances – and his ghost was said to haunt Wolf Hill. Jon and Timothy head to Wolf Hill and find the foundation of Thomas’s cabin, along with his well. Chad and Timothy return and locate a cave in which the hermit stayed before he built his cabin.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/25Strange Familiars episode 300, The Witch Cloud, is available now: https://stonebreath.bandcamp.com/album/the-witch-cloudStrange Familiars HIGH STRANGENESS TOUR long-sleeve t-shirts and zipper hoodies!
