I was not ready for what happens when the bonfire dies out. 😳 Had a ton of fun chatting with people while playing the Holyburn Witches last night on stream. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. Looking forward to the next live Fogcast scheduled for September 27.

The lantern flickers. The long night returns. This Halloween, nine are summoned. Their voices carried from coast, wood, and shadow. Who joins the circle? Watch the darkness for signs. #maine #horror

Another mail day is here at last! This week I received a package I ordered from a local vendor I think y'all will want to check out. Hocus Soapus is Maine-owned, sustainably made, and anti-fascist, plus they make a fantastic smelling soap. Do yourself a favor and go check them out!

Deep in Maine's northern forests lurks the Agropelter—an elusive, monkey‑like creature said to live its entire life in the treetops. Rarely seen, impossibly fast, and blamed for countless mysterious deaths, the Agropelter remains one of the most feared beings in lumberjack folklore.

The Dash, a legendary Maine privateer that vanished during the War of 1812 after sailing into a wall of mysterious fog. Sixty men were lost, and no wreckage was ever found. For generations, sailors have reported sightings of a ghostly schooner drifting in the mist.

In the oppressive heat of July 1896, one of the most chilling deaths ever recorded on Mount Desert Island took place at Witch Hole Pond Two boys, Jimmy Elkhorn and Guy Bunker, ventured out to the pond that day, what happened next defies explanation and has haunted the whispers around Witch Hole.

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.

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.

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

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...
