Summary

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.

0:00.0	They came to our eyes because they'll see clear the sky different from the horror we
0:27.1	told you she names her.
0:50.4	Welcome to Strange Familiars. How are you tonight, Allison?
0:54.9	I'm well. How was your weekend?
1:00.0	It was pretty good. Good to see pretty good. Good to hear. Hey just a reminder everybody those
1:07.1	Strange Familiars high-strangeness tour shirts got a long sleeve t-shirt with sleeve prints and
1:13.6	a front and back print as well as a zipper hoodie with a front press print back print and sleeve
1:20.4	prints. The pre-orders for those are up at Strange Familiars.com. We are taking pre-orders until
1:28.4	February 27th. We are placing the order on February 28th. This is not leap year. You do not have
