The Old Leather Man

Episode 158

Alison and Timothy tell the story of a wandering hermit who walked an intentional loop through Connecticut and New York, sleeping in caves and begging his meals. Known as The Old Leather Man for his hand-stitched suit of beaten leather, this lonesome man became quite popular in the 1800s due to his strange appearance and mysterious nature. Does The Old Leather Man’s ghost haunt the cave in which he died?
