Timothy and Alison tell true stories of three unique characters from Berks County, Pennsylvania. Timothy tells tales of two men, Matthias Berger and Benjamin Laub - both were known as \u201cThe Blue Mountain Hermit\u201d. Berger was killed and his murderer was never found, while Laub may have started the forest fires that burnt down Berger\u2019s home. Alison then relates the story of Tommy Collins, a peddler with a double life, and a penchant for fine clothes. He spent his life wandering Berks County in a coat covered with pins and badges.\n\nIf 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/StrangeFamiliars\n\n\nOur Sponsors:\n* Check out Bandai Namco: unknown9.com/STRANGE\n* Check out BetterHelp: betterhelp.com/STRANGEPOD \n\nSupport this podcast at \u2014 https://redcircle.com/strange-familiars/donations\n\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands\n\nPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
