In 1986, 20-year-old Christopher Knight quit his job and drove into the Maine woods until his car ran out of gas.
Once his car ran dead, he got out, then stayed in the woods for 27 YEARS.
Christopher lived completely alone in a hidden camp. The only words he spoke to another human were a simple “Hi” to a passing hiker.
To survive, he stole food & gas from nearby vacation homes more than 1,000 times, yet was never caught once.
In brutal winters, he’d erase his footprints and wander at night using military-level survival tricks just to stay alive.
In 2013, after 27 years in the woods, Christopher, now 47, was tracked down by police after a surveillance camera caught the “Ghost of the Woods”
He was arrested, but released after serving just 7 months for his crimes.
