After playing 95 hours i still haven't met witches, old man and brother Albern, What's going on?

They only show up in secret rooms.
Albern appears in Abbey secret rooms I think

Brother Albern appears ONLY in Abbey secret room, and his secret room will always spawn (i suggest shooting at the chest room walls, the "corridor beginning" in Bello's shop, walls of the elevator room and, if all of that didn't work, all the border walls) . Witches and Old Man also appear only in secret rooms, but on any floor.
However, I'd like to say that both Witches and Old Man aren't too good NPCs, as Witches work like a Gun Muuncher, but for one gun and giving you astounding 3,5 curse (which is way too much for a gun, even assuming that they will give you a gun of the same or higher quality) and Old Man just gives one random item (but if you're playing with a friend in co-op he will refuse to give you a item).

Secret room in the bullet hell.
I found only two of those and both contained that old man.

Wow! Now that's lucky.

I actually checked how to find secret rooms(Shooting walls with weapons with finite ammo) and I have found red chest - eating guns at bullet hell.

Finally unlocked that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapon that comes from feeding it 10 guns.

I've met the old man and the witches a few times via accidental secret rooms(My armor triggering a blank effect), but I've only ever met Brother Albern ONCE.

Thats because Brother albern only appears in the Abbey of the True Gun.
But there he'll spawn always.
So if you go on an Abbey run, you can look for the secret room with Brother Albern.
He'll always be there.
