Jim shares stories starting in his youth in Ireland - beginning with faerie folklore told to him by elders which seemed to weave into his own experiences. A faerie tree, a terrifying woman who haunted Jim for years, a black dog, poltergeist activity, orbs, missing time, and much more… including a story of “the big man,” who knocked on windows, climbed on roofs, and generally behaved like bigfoot.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/25Our Strange Familiars / Lost Grave etsy shop has art, books, patches, t-shirts, and more ... including original art done for Strange Familiars: https://www.etsy.com/shop/lostgraveStrange Familiars t-shirts and other designs are available here: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/strange-familiars?ref_id=14000Episode 255 notes and links:90 Days to the Perfect Puppy: https://perfectpuppies.sithappens.us/90-daysRiverbend Comics: https://www.riverbendcomics.comKarmic Garden: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KarmicGarden Timothy’s collection of post-MS attack drawings, Monsters Under the (Hospital) Bed is available now in our etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1023391289/monsters-under-the-hospital-bed-artTimothy’s book of paranormal illustrations, Apparitions, is available to order now… directly from us: https://www.strangefamiliars.com/home/apparitions-illustrations-of-the-other-book or, if you prefer, on etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/877387099/apparitions-art-book-by-timothy-rennerTimothy’s book, with co-author Joshua Cutchin, Where the Footprints End, Volume II, ordering information: https://www.strangefamiliars.com/home/where-the-footprints-end-volume-ii-available-nowStrange Familiars Curiosity of the Week #4: The Diving Rod - A History of Water WitchingYou can purchase this item in our etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1066549185/the-divining-rod-a-history-of-waterTimothy’s books: https://www.amazon.com/Timothy-Renner/e/B072X44SD5Strange Familiars ‘Awoken Tree’ t-shirts are available in our Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/739690857/strange-familiars-podcast-awoken-treeAlison: https://www.etsy.com/shop/odpeacockChad’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNB7MSJ2F1SRBPcQsEFLnvg (make sure to subscribe to Chad’s channel, Ruck Rabbit Outdoors.)Chad’s etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RuckRabbitOutdoorsTo help with the Capuchin Day Center’s work with the homeless you can donate here: https://www.capuchindaycentre.ieand here: https://www.cskdetroit.orgContact us via email at:
