Catching squirrels, maybe, or growing his own lettuce. What a fascinating story! It might be more interesting, though, if Knight had become a true hermit, withdrawing from society and living fully on his own. It was there, behind those rocks, that he lived for nearly 30 years. The Maine forests are dense and Knight found an almost invisible spot behind two “elephant-sized” boulders, within walking distance of a popular lake. He just vanished.īut he didn’t vanish very far. He didn’t get in touch with his parents, nor his brother (who had co-signed for the car and was stuck with the payments), nor the people at his job. In all that time, he communicated with no one, other than two hikers he happened to encounter five or 10 years on. For the next 27 years, he lived in the woods.
He placed the keys on the center console and walked off into the trees.
Back in 1986, when he was 20 years old, a Massachusetts resident named Christopher Knight drove to Maine, steered his car as deep into the forest as he could go, and turned off the engine.
