Robert E. Harrill, The Fort Fisher Hermit, spent 17 years under the stars and scrub oaks of Fort Fisher, North Carolina. Surviving off the land and the contributions from thousands of visitors, he became one of the areas largest tourist attractions.
But Robert's new life wasn't as idyllic as he made it out to be, and his untimely death is marked by mystery and controversy.
Narrated by Barry Corbin, this film examines the reasons that led a man to become a hermit, his growing popularity and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death.

When I was small my family lived in Wilmington. If I misbehaved my father would say" do you want me to take you to live with the Hermit?" I never did meet him and he was killed when I was only 7. What I missed...

I have pictures of my Mom and Dad with the Hermit. They gave him cigarettes and a beer. Their opinion was that he was one unique individual. They enjoyed the visit very much. I am sorry to hear he was murdered. I had no clue.... nice video.. Thank you :-)

That is a shame someone would do that to him. But at least we know he lived a good life doing what he wanted to do and was a positive example for others.
