#24 Alone in the Maine Woods for 27 Years

from The Lonely Hour Hosted by Julia Bainbridge

At the age of 20, Christopher Knight left his car and the rest of the world behind: He didn’t send a letter, spend any money, or use the internet for over two decades. He said one word to one person, accidentally, during that time. Michael Finkel, who wrote a book about Knight called The Stranger in the Woods, shares his story.
