In 2001, a Maine woman witnessed a creature sitting on her roof — a wolf‑like humanoid with pointed ears, a long snout, and strangely human features. Was it a Dogman? A cryptid? A misidentified animal? Or something else entirely?

A couple driving through Oxford County witnesses an 8–9 foot tall, chocolate‑brown figure sprint across Bear River Road in the middle of the day. The BFRO investigator found the witness credible — and the location sits in one of Maine’s most active sighting clusters.

If Bigfoot exists in Maine… this might be some of the most convincing evidence yet.

Maine is a place where the GPS cuts out and the wilderness takes over — a landscape of deep forests, forgotten logging roads, and secrets older than memory. Tonight we explore five real disappearances where people stepped into the Maine woods… and were never seen again.

From a boy on a red tricycle to a hunter whose tracks simply stopped in the snow, from a grieving widow on the Appalachian Trail to a young man swallowed by the timberlands, and finally a quiet homeowner who vanished without a trace — each story reveals a different face of mystery. Some cases feel like wilderness tragedies. Others hint at something darker. All of them leave behind the same haunting question: How can a person vanish so completely that no trace of them is ever found?

Good evening hikers,

If you're from Maine you can’t talk about horror without at least mentioning Stephen King. With the first season of It: Welcome to Derry, audiences got a new chapter in the story of Pennywise but how did the show stack up in the eyes of a couple of people who live there? Well, we have thoughts.

I sat down with my friend, Nomar Slevik, and we discussed our feelings about the show, the themes that it touched on and some predictions for the next season. Since we do discuss the finale there are heavy spoilers in this video so don't click if you haven't watched the series for yourself.

If you enjoy the show please like the video and share it with a friend. If you’re not already, make sure to follow or subscribe, whichever your preferred platform allows. Also, If you’re listening on Spotify give us a rating. It would really help the show out.

New episodes go up weekly. Check out our other series, Fearsome 5, where I explain a fearsome critter of Maine in five minutes or less. Fans of the first season of Acadia After Dark are going to want to check out Acadia After Dark: Campfire Stories. Local legends, listener stories, and maybe even a personal encounter or two all set to the sound of a cozy fire. Our Park Updates are your guide to surviving the supernatural bureaucracy of the worlds most haunted national park.

Good evening hikers,

Thank you for tuning in to another broadcast of Acadia After Dark’s Park Updates, coming to you live on ▇▇▇▇▇▇ we’re serving up Downeast dread, delivered weekly.

Tonight is no ordinary night. It’s the high holiday. The veil’s gone thin, the air’s gone sharp, and the old legends are restless. That’s right—it’s Halloween. Or Samhain, for those of you who still leave offerings at the crossroads.

In the news this week:

• A political leader’s old comments have resurfaced—cryptic, cruel, and maybe not entirely meant for human ears.

• A string of wild animal attacks has local officials uneasy. They’re calling it rabies. We’re not so sure.

• And a new congregation has taken root. The Cult of the Fly is renovating the abandoned church out on Evergreen Island. Lanterns burn late there, and the windows are never quite dark.

Welcome back, Hikers. Episode 32 of Acadia After Dark beckons you deeper into the woods, where I’m joined by Jordan Dube—founder of Goosepoop Games and architect of Black Flies, a hidden-objective roleplaying game set in the cursed town of Evergreen, Maine.

You are a vessel of the Cult of the Fly. You speak in riddles. You shape the town’s fate through whispered stories and strange rituals. Your goal? To become the most feared entity in Evergreen. Will you aid your fellow cultists… or betray them, turning townsfolk into buzzing, hollow-eyed husks?

Black Flies is GM-less, fast to learn, and perfect for players of all experience levels. It’s like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark—but you’re the monster.

The game has just finished funding and is set to release any day now. You can still join the swarm:

Good evening hikers,

Thank you for tuning in to another broadcast of Acadia After Dark’s Park Updates, coming to you live on ▇▇▇▇▇▇—the finest radio show on this side of the veil. And it’s not just me saying that. Ask the Ouija board tucked in the back of your grandmother’s bookshelf. You know the one.

On tonight's broadcast:

• A woman accidentally shot her bird-hunting companion—and the birds say she deserved it.
• Is Bigfoot an anime fan? Recent sightings suggest he might be.
• And with threats of a government shutdown looming, what consequences could this have for our Park?

Park Updates is a new series from the Acadia After Dark Universe. Think of it as your guide to surviving the supernatural bureaucracy of the worlds most haunted national park. Inspired by the likes of Welcome to Night Vale, this series blends horror, satirical humor, and narrative world-building to deliver ranger reports, cryptic announcements, and unsettling community bulletins from a park that may not be entirely terrestrial.

Whether you’re a seasoned camper, a curious outsider, or something else entirely, we welcome you to laugh nervously, listen closely, and never—ever—stray from the path. As always, keep those lanterns lit and stay safe out there.

Johnny Cash. Alien abduction. Somesville, Maine.

It sounds like the setup to a campfire joke—but what if it’s not?

This week we investigate a mysterious roadside memorial tucked beside a unassuming bridge in one of Maine’s oldest towns. A black cowboy hat. A pair of boots. A note claiming the Man in Black was abducted by aliens in a quiet Maine town. I team up with Maine paranormal researcher and author Nomar Slevik to trace the origins of this strange tribute. Is this just a piece of public art—or the echo of a forgotten legend?

If you’ve seen this memorial, know who placed it, or have any leads on Johnny Cash’s alleged encounter in Somesville, reach out. The fog is thick, but we’re still searching.
