On May 20th, 1983, Jessie Albertine Hoover, a 54‑year‑old woman from White Settlement, Texas, was last seen at the Baxter State Park Headquarters in Millinocket, Maine. Jessie never checked out of the park.

Hey there Hikers, A little over a year into this journey and we have crossed another milestone. In celebration I wanted thank all of you who have found us in the fog. If you haven't already head on over and pay us a visit. Keep those lanterns lit and stay safe out there.

Hey there Hikers, Here's a little short about one of my favorite legendary cryptids from my neck of the woods. Hope this helps make the horrors of Monday a little less terrifying.

On May 12th, 1977, eighteen‑year‑old Bernard “Bunny” Ross Jr. walked away from his family’s home in Fort Kent, Maine. Bunny never returned. To this day, Bernard “Bunny” Ross Jr. is missing, his fate locked away not by the woods, but by human silence.

On Sunday, August 31st, 1975, four‑year‑old Kurt Ronald Newton vanished from Natanis Point Campground in Coburn Gore, Maine, just six miles from the Canadian border. Over 50 years later his disappearance remains unsolved.

Morning Hikers, Icy conditions down south and a deep freeze on the way for the weekend. While you get your coffee and wait for the car to defrost here's a little mystery from up the road. Keep those lanterns lit and stay safe out there.

Ever heard about our fearsome critter called the Will-am-alone? It's sort of like a squirrel but a little bigger and it likes to drop little balls of lichen into the eyes and ears of unsuspecting campers. The little gifts have a special ingredient that will send you on a trip you won't believe.

I spent some time by the water watching the snow fall today.

Morning Hikers, It's Monday again. What horrors await? Only time may tell... As consolation, here is a legend from the deep woods of Maine for your entertainment.

Another satisfied visitor to Acadia After Dark.

On the morning of November 25th, 1975, just two days before Thanksgiving, Ludger “Ludgie” Belanger, age 25, set out to hunt in the snowy woods of Washington, Maine, near Route 105. Ludger Belanger never came home, and those who may know why have never spoken. #Maine #unexplained

It's Monday and I have another legend from the Maine woods to share with you all. The Chenoo is a terrifying creature of Abenaki folklore. Find out why it was so feared by the people of the Pine Tree State and stay tuned for more stories from the dark places between the trees.

Who remembers the Great Ice Storm of '98? This week is the anniversary of one of the most devastating natural disasters in Maine’s history.

Every Monday I will be sharing a short on our socials and YouTube. These shorts will be a minute or two long and will talk about a local bit of folklore in a bite-sized format perfect for busy mornings when you just need to get your fix of the After Dark.

I spent some time today writing about my thoughts on the finale. "Stranger Things is a love letter to ’80s sci‑fi, yes — but it’s also something more. Like Stand by Me or The Goonies, it’s a coming‑of‑age tale about friendship and the bonds that shape us." acadiaafterdark.com/stranger-thi...
