This week Johnboy tells the lads about the man who haunted a rural Maine community before his capture after 27 years of living in a frigid campsite, living solely on what he stole. His transition from myth to man in the public eye reveals challenging questions about survival, society and solitude.

A man, or being, dressed from head to foot in camouflage and a gas mask has been seen in the woods near Mauls Switzerland. He hung around for about ten years before vanishing. Along Route 351, people used to see a faceless man, called Charley No Face, walking along, late at night. He was also known as The Green Man. The Poe Toaster used to visit Edgar Allen Poe's grave and toast him early on January 19. Who was the North Pond Hermit and where did he come from. Here are some, out of the ordinary people, living their lives, outside the box.  

Christopher Thomas Knight decided he had had enough human interaction in his life, so he did what any rational person would do. The Deep Lore Boys discuss his unusual life and walking habits before taking a plunge into the cursed lake Roopkund; finally, to wrap it all up, we discuss recent updates to lore of the past, including the Man of the Hole, Georgia Guidestones, and Gavle Goat.

We deep dive into the truth/lies of this rumor and other people who have and do survive in the wild such as the hermits, and un-contacted indigenous peoples in the Americas.

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got. Taking a break from all your worries sure wouldn't help a lot. Sometimes you want to go where nobody knows your name and they're never glad you came. This is the story of a guy who did just that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2013 some hermit guy who didn't talk to anyone for 30 years and lived under a tarp in the woods of Maine, got arrested for stealing snacks from a camp for kids with disabilities. But that's not all he took...he burgled our hearts and somehow stood up to "the man" by not paying for anything. Will the gang survive in the woods? Are all lunatics violent or are they just from Alaska? Not all deer are dudes, some are chicks? Was that a question? Who knows, we got this hermit to deal with. Please support the show and our hosts!

Meet Christopher Knight. An average citizen with above average intelligence, who simply feels the need to be by himself. At the age of 20, Christopher walked away from civilization to take on the wilderness and fend for himself. He never harmed anyone, nor even thought about it. He just felt the need to disconnect himself from society for 27 years. This is the story of the North Pond Hermit, who was dying to be found by norther Maine residents, not for violent crimes, but rather by being a nuisance.

In this episode Brittani and Bob end the week with diving into the Christopher Thomas Knight story or as he is known to man as The North Pond Hermit. Christopher survived in the wilderness not speaking a word to anyone for 27 years, amassing a following and a story like we have never seen before.

The past two years have made us all feel a little isolated. But this man took the concept of solitude to another level. 27 years in the woods alone, and he never once sought out human contact. He sought out other things, though, - books, food, clothes, tools, and anything else he could get his hands on. Was he an unrepentant criminal or just a guy trying to make it on his own?

Happy New Year! This week the duo talk about the North Pond Hermit, one of the most unusual true stories straight out of Maine.    https://www.google.com/amp/s/api.nationalgeographic.com/distribution/public/amp/news/2017/04/north-pond-hermit-maine-knight-stranger-woods-finkel     https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gq.com/story/the-last-true-hermit/amp   https://www.michaelfinkel.com/the-stranger-in-the-woods/  

In 2013, a man by the name of Christopher Knight was arrested while he was trying to burgle the Pine Tree Camp in Rome, Maine. He had done it many times before over the years, and had broken into a number of camps, earning the nickname the North Pond Hermit. Knight had committed at least a thousand break-ins, but he always felt searing guilt about it. Knight had taken to the woods when he turned 20. The only thing he really felt affection for was a mushroom that grew near his hermitage; he hunkered down with books and other basic activities to occupy his time in the woods. It was all routine, for 27 years before his capture. There are a number of motivations that make men and women run to the woods to slough off society. For Christopher Knight, it was an admiration for solitude, but for Noah John Rondeau, the Mayor of Cold River City, Population 1, it was freedom. On this episode of the Our Strange Skies podcast, we examine the life of the Adirondacks’ most famous hermit, Noah John Rondeau.

*Note: This is an archived episode with a previous co-host* So many of us fantasize of leaving the world behind and going off and living in seclusion away from society. In the 1980's, Christopher Thomas Knight did just that. He stole what he needed to survive and a local myth of a mountain man who stole food and supplies become a household story. Little did they know, what they believed was myth was reality. Here is the story of the man who left everything and everyone behind. Special thanks to Johanna Davidsson for editing this episode.

The elusive North Pond Hermit evaded human contact in the wilderness of Maine for 27 years, building a home between giant boulders and surviving on "borrowed" essentials from nearby camps. Refusing to talk to anybody about his story, curiosity built about his reasons for isolation, until one reporter was granted access to his mysterious world. This is the story of Christopher Thomas Knight, the North Pond Hermit of Maine.

Have you ever actually been alone for any real length of time? No smartphones, no internet, nobody in the apartment next door. Just you and miles of wilderness. Would you be willing to endure that kind of alone-ness and solitude for a day? A week? A month?How about 27 years?One man knows exactly what this means.There's something about being alone, especially alone in the woods, that starts you thinking in a brand new way. You may begin with fear and apprehension, startled by every sound in the brush. If you're afraid of snakes or bears, or bears with snakes for arms, these things will have a growing presence in your consciousness. You'll start to see and hear signs of them everywhere.Beyond fear, though, being alone in the wilderness can often bring a sense of peace. When you’re away from the noise of civilization, alone with only your own thoughts for company, you become aware of some greater force. Maybe it’s God, or maybe it's just the presence of nature. Your own filters and bias can decide. But it's there. You may not believe it, but when you're out there all on your own, you will feel it.Just ask the North Pond Hermit.Christopher Thomas Knight got his nickname the hard way: He lived it for nearly three decades, out in the woods beside North Pond Maine, alone. By himself. No human contact.For 27 years.Some of us can’t go a full day without checking in on Facebook, but Chris Knight managed to abandon humanity entirely for half his life, wandering into the woods at 20 years old and not emerging and rejoining society again until he was 47 years old.Well … sort of.Turns out, during that 20 years in the woods, though Knight really was utterly alone, speaking to no one and in fact having no human contact whatsoever, he hadn't entirely removed himself from human society. He held on to a tether, of sorts.During those 27 years in the woods, Knight managed to survive by breaking into local cabins and even a camp for disabled kids, all during the offseason. He would raid pantries and cupboards and walk-in freezers for as much food as he could carry back to his camp. He would swipe clothing and sleeping bags, plastic tarps and propane tanks, and anything else he might need.And books—he stole a lot of books. Plus handheld videos games, a small black-and-white television, even a twin-sized mattress.He stole what he needed from the people who lived or owned property around North Pond, and he did it hundreds of times over three decades. He may actually turn out to be the most successful serial robber in history.Knight would lug this ill-gotten bounty back with him, pushing into the thick, impossible woods that ride the edge of North Pond, somehow managing to haul it all through the brambles to a clearing he'd made for himself.The clearing was something of a miracle itself.Throughout his 27 years in the woods, Knight had swept the grounds, removed stray branches and stones, and made a space for himself. But he hadn't stopped there. He went on to lining and leveling the ground with bundles of stolen National Geographic Magazine—favored for its glossy pages, which helped to keep water moving rather than soaking in. He created a subfloor with bricks of magazines, and then built on top of it. Layering tarps and tents and other materials, Knight built the ultimate grownup blanket fort, capable of keeping out rain and snow, insects and animals. A cozy little place to spend a life alone.It wasn't perfect. Not like having a tiny cabin in the woods. The cold, sometimes dipping as low as -25˚F (-32˚C), still crept in, bypassing any attempt to keep it at bay and threatening to end him every winter.Knight survived by fattening himself up, the same way bears and other mammals might, and sticking to a strict discipline of getting up early, around 2 AM each morning, moving and performing tasks to get his blood flowing. While people slept in warm beds and heated cabins just a few hundred feet from him, Chris Knight intentionally struggled against the Maine Winter, literally stomping it out as he performed chores in his camp.He never managed to keep his feet warm, though. Layers of socks, hot water bottles, piles of blankets and sleeping bags, and without fail his feet were freezing by morning anyway. Such is the life of a hermit in the woods of Maine.To keep himself hidden, Knight committed to some extreme methods, and even more extreme discipline. He never left his clearing when there was snow on the ground, for example, because there was no way to avoid leaving tracks. He never lit a fire, because someone might see the smoke or the flames. He learned to walk on the stones and tree roots of his woods, so there could never be a trace of him even if someone came looking.For 27 years, the North Pond Hermit plagued (some would say “terrorized”) locals, finding ways to break into their vacation homes, taking whatever he needed, absconding with food and alcohol and clothing, and with any and all candy he could find. He had something of a sweet tooth.The North Pond Hermit became a local legend, like Maine's version of Sasquatch or the Jersey Devil. Some doubted his existence. Some were afraid of him. No one, however, ever saw him or spoke to him for almost thirty years. The most anyone had in the way of evidence for his existence were some game camera photos and a bit of security camera footage. And a lot of missing stuff, of course.Here's the thing—Chris Knight lived an existence entirely apart from human interaction for three decades, surviving in one of the harshest regions of the US (Maine winters are brutal), and getting by more or less on the refuse and leavings of humanity, all while living only a few hundred feet from civilization.The woods that Knight called home were situated in an area that had a light permanent population but a sizeable seasonal vacation presence. From his clearing, he could hear activity on the lake, from fishermen to motorboats. And he was just a short walk from the cabins he robbed on a regular basis.Somehow, Christopher Thomas Knight, the North Pond Hermit, had pulled off the near-impossible feat of disappearing in plain sight. And if he hadn’t finally been caught and arrested while breaking into that camp for disabled children, in 2013, it’s possible he would have lived a lifetime and died a peaceful death right among the local population, without anyone ever knowing he was there.A quiet, unremarkable, unknown death. Just as he would have wanted.If you’ve read any of my fiction, you know that I have a great fondness for resourceful, autonomous, independent characters. I love the idea of someone being able to withdraw from society, if they have to, and get by on their wits and intelligence. I write characters who primarily look at the modern world as a cookie jar of resources and are unafraid to take what they need when they need it.Christopher Knight wasn't quite identical to any given character I've written, but at heart, he is exactly who I have in mind.I discovered Knight through Michael Finke’s book The Stranger In The Woods, and I found myself (over and over) identifying with him. Maybe it was a romanticized sort of thing, I can cop to that. I don’t exactly have an urge to live in the woods, secluded from everyone, too afraid to so much as light a fire to keep warm or cook a meal. But that impulse to walk away from the world and rely on my own character and strength and resourcefulness? Oh yeah. That attracts me.My version of this was to do things like selling the house my wife and I lived in for four years and buy an RV, traveling the country while I wrote and produced podcasts and attended author conferences. And now that we're back to a "home base," I find myself lingering on ideas like trading my pickup for a camper van, or maybe just putting a camper shell on the truck and lighting out for parts unknown.The other parallel for me is my tendency to do things like choose a city and fly there, just to spend a week walking its streets, alone, checking out all the hidden corners. As I write this, I'm doing that very thing, wandering the streets of Seattle. I don't shy away from either the ritzy heights or the impromptu tent villages of the homeless people. I check out the touristy stuff, and I duck into the things that buttress the city's real culture and personality.On trips like this, I'll sometimes skip the hotel in favor of wandering on foot for a day and a night, catching quick naps in coffee shops and bookstores and libraries, sleeping in a rental car if I have one. My version of roughing it.But the thing is, I can always get a hotel. I can hop on a plane home, whenever I want. I can take out my iPhone and get an Uber to an AirBnB. I have a backup plan.Chris Knight had none of that, and he didn’t want it. He left society behind, not because he was angry or afraid or bitter but because …Well, honestly, even Knight himself doesn’t know. There was no reason. He had no reason for leaving.We find that impossible to accept.“Everything has a reason.” That’s our mantra. It’s what our entire culture and society are built on. But the truth, the real truth, is that sometimes there isn’t a reason. Sometimes we decide to grab soup instead of a sandwich, or a table by the window instead of one by the fireplace, or a red scarf instead of a blue scarf, and we just have no justification for any of it. And sometimes we decide to park our car, toss the keys on the dash, and walk into the woods forever, with nothing motivating us beyond the idea of it.Being alone can change who you are. It can be both damaging and healing. It can be an expression and a silence, a protest, and an acceptance. Did Chris Knight have any of this in mind, at any time from the start to finish of his life in the woods? Maybe. Maybe not. But looking at what he did and how he lived, it’s inspiring. We can learn from it, even if there was no lesson intended.If you enjoyed this little tale …You might enjoy a good thriller novel. And I happen to write thriller novels.

The North Pond Hermit, The Barefoot Bandit, and The Unibomber. In today's episode, Stefanie and Matt cover three cases of isolated criminals surviving in the woods.

This week we have our special guests Laura and TJ back to talk about the truly unbelievable tale of the North Pond Hermit. What begins as a confusing series of items going missing slowly escalates, causing a small vacation community to look over their shoulders. The mystery, pursuit, and eventual explanation are truly staggering, and made us question the limits of what people are capable of. Henry David Thoreau can suck an egg.  Goose Chase!

For this week we focus on a mysterious hermit that haunted the woods of Maine and the scary idea of alien implants. Get ready for Scary Mysteries, Twisted Two’s. Please support Scary Mysteries!

Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying true stories that are worthy of a more in depth look. #1 The North Pond Hermit For years urban legends circulated around Maine about a hermit living in it’s dense forests. But little did they know, the story was more than just a legend and was something that was very real. For nearly 27 years, Christopher Knight had no contact with other people. He never spoke to anybody but committed thousands of burglaries in houses around the areas that he roamed. When he was 20 years old, Knight simply took his car, left his family home without saying goodbye and drove off. His road trip took him to Florida and when he drove back, he passed by his hometown of Albion and contined North until he nearly ran out of gas. On that small dirt road, he took his car keys, placed them on the dashboard, reached for a tent he had never used before and trecked into the woods. For two whole years he hiked the land sustaining himself by stealing food from people's gardens and homes. Eventually he came across his ideal site to settle down. People nearby called the area, "The Jarsey." #2 Alien Implants Alien implants refer to a foreign physical object that’s placed inside a person' body after they have been taken or abducted by aliens. While many abductees have claimed that implants have been inserted in them, the idea still remains in the realm of science fiction for many. Alien implants first received mainstream attention in 1957 when UFOlogist John Robinson was being interviewed over the radio and he said that a neighbor, claiming to be an alien abductee in 1938, mentioned receiving "small earphones" that were placed behind his ears. Soon after that reports of abductees started pouring in. In 1967, Betty Andreasson said aliens implanted a device in her nose when she was taken. Another woman from Canada also stated having a similar experience during her abduction that occurred in 1983. Roger Leir, a California podiatrist, tried to find proof of these so called alien implants. When he first heard about the phenomenon, he was curious but admittedly skeptical, but wanted to find and study them. Even though it was an unusual move to find people, he managed to get subjects that were willing to undergo surgery in order to retrieve the implants. More than 10 subjects had reported having alien abduction experiences and two of these were Pat Parrinellio (47) and Mary Jones (52). Both were investigated and then referred to Dr. Leir for the possible surgery.

In Episode 33 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to the woods of central Maine in search of the North Pond Hermit. In 1986 Christopher Knight walked into the forest and lived out there for 27 years stealing supplies from local cabins and camps. How did he survive the Maine winters outside? How did he live with no human contact for almost three decades? How did he get caught? The Stranger in the Woods author Michael Finkel joins us to discuss the legend of the North Pond Hermit.

Without any forethought or preparation, Christopher Knight walked into the Maine woods in 1986 and lived there in complete solitude for the next 27 years, subsisting on what he was able to steal from local cabins. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the North Pond hermit, one man's attempt to divorce himself completely from civilization. We'll also look for coded messages in crosswords and puzzle over an ineffective snake. Intro: Disneyland's Matterhorn contains a basketball goal.

Continuing the show from last week, we’re chatting with our musician friend, Seth. The gang discusses the evolution of business on the web and changing technology over the last 10 years. Should you cultivate your passion as a hobby or as a profession? When Seth was working in news broadcasting, he totally dug using a Ross Video Switcher. Recent guest Justin Hall spoke at the xoxo festival recently. See his appearance here. Paul has a love-hate relationship with javascript. Paul argues that these days employers aren’t hiring people in technology for what they know and what they can do. Instead people are hired for how fast they can learn and for what they will be doing in two years. His advice, have a portfolio. Seth remembers the Real Genius days when folks interested in technology went to university to learn lasers. Living without human contact for 27 years? Check out the North Pond Hermit. Seth enjoys podcasts by Joe Rogan and Marc Maron. Paul says collaboration is the key to not getting stuck in the artistic loop — over thinking your work or being too critical of yourself. Seth is excited to see how Elon Musk and Tesla Motors change the world of business. Chris & Paul suggest people check out the community of developers on cupcake.io. Check out Seth’s music on Reverb Nation. Remember to hitch a ride on your dream balloon and pursue your art! Make sure it’s your dream balloon and not one of those sadistic balloons.
