In 1986,christopher Knight walked into the woods in maine.
he stayed there for almost three decades as a hermit,living nearly without
human cantact and stealing from nearby camps.
to survive the brutal winters,he built a large camp
about 20 miles north of Augusta.
He covered his tent with a trap and surrounded it by camouflage
garbage cans to conceal that he was there.
Christopher said that yhe last major event he remembered happening
was the chernobyl accident in 1986, but that was not necessarily why
he went into the woods.
Police caught and arrested him at the Pine Tree Camp where he had been stealing
food.Christopher told police officers that he had talked to only
one person during all of that solitude.
Police charged him with one count of burglary so far,and additional
counts will likely follow during the 27 years in the woods.
