Summary

Henry Heist was a thief, ruffian, and troubled soul from the mountains, just west of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Did he murder his friend, Emanuel Monn, with a rusty hatchet? Heist was the last man hanged in Gettysburg, dropping from the gallows in January 1894. Does his ghost still roam the mountains, chased by a pack of spectral hounds?

0:00.0	They claim that our eyes could still see clear to the sky, different from what we all are.
0:27.0	Welcome to Strange Familiars. How you doing tonight, Allison? Oh, I'm doing well.
0:55.0	This is Episode 299. If only we had already done 300, we could skip right to 301.
1:02.0	Well, as a matter of fact, Episode 300 is available. It's a multimedia project called The Witch Cloud.
1:10.0	It has to do with haunted bridges and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It's a podcast. There's an audio book. There's some music with it.
1:18.0	Lots of one-site recordings with it. We have, at this point, about 15 copies left of the first edition, the Hardcover book.
1:27.0	The Hardcover book isn't available through Amazon. It won't be available through Amazon. It was the special first edition. It comes with a woven patch and a sticker.
1:37.0	And of course, the audio download. If you want a copy of this first edition of The Witch Cloud, go ahead and pick it up now.
1:44.0	Like I said, there's 15 copies left. After that, we will do a sort of general distribution version, a soft cover that will be available on Amazon and so forth.
1:53.0	But hopefully, the first edition is the valuable collectors item in the future.
1:59.0	Plus, it comes with lots of extra stuff. Yeah, absolutely. The Witch Cloud has been a really cool project, a really fun project to work on.
2:06.0	If you are a patron, you heard the second patron episode in February. Chad and I went back to the bridges and to yet another haunted bridge in Gettysburg.
2:16.0	There may indeed be more haunted bridges in Gettysburg, but I don't know.
2:20.0	But in any case, we went back. We got even more content out of the bridge. We're going to take a break for a while.
2:25.0	We've gone to the bridge quite a bit, but it was fun to go back and seeing as we were approaching 300, we thought we'd visit one more time and see what happens.
2:34.0	Again, episode 300 is the Witch Cloud. The only way to get it is to purchase the book and you get the download with it.
2:42.0	You can do that on bandcampstonebreath.bandcamp.com or at our Etsy shop, shop name lost grave.
2:49.0	If you type in strange familiars, you should see our stuff come up. I think the Witch Cloud might be the first thing that comes up when you type in strange familiars.
2:57.0	As we always mention patrons, we say you get every episode and you will get the audio version of the Witch Cloud for free. You don't have to purchase it, but you will have to wait about a year.
3:08.0	We'll release that to patrons. Maybe we'll do it like the first of 2023 or something. We will release that to patrons, so you will get that for free.
3:16.0	But we hope that everybody picks up the hardcover book because it was meant like I said to be kind of a multimedia project.
3:23.0	And as we are talking about Gettysburg for episode 300, we thought we'd do all Gettysburg episodes leading up to episode 300. And here we are.
