In the summer of 1986, a 20-year-old man named Christopher Thomas Knight drove into the forests of Maine and quietly disappeared. There was no dramatic farewell, political statement, or survival mission. He simply abandoned his car after it ran out of fuel and walked into the wilderness. For the next 27 years, Knight lived alone in a hidden camp near North Pond, surviving brutal winters and avoiding almost all human contact. His strange disappearance later became one of America’s most fascinating modern mysteries, earning him the nickname ‘The Ghost of the Woods’.
