Welcome or welcome back to Wicked, Weird, and Grim, your number one podcast for a trip through the history of the odd, haunting, and mystifying. On today's episode, we discuss the Fort Fisher Hermit, Robert Harill, a man who decided to become a hermit and ended up the second most popular tourist attraction in North Carolina and a local legend.

Join us as we discuss Robert's backstory and how he came to live out on the salt marshes of Wilmington, NC in a World War II bunker.

Stick around at the end to hear our infamous bloopers. For those with sensory issues, blooper sounds abound.
