Hermit lived in Maine woods for 30 years - amazing story

[h=1]The Strange & Curious Tale of the Last True Hermit[/h] [h=2]For nearly thirty years, a phantom haunted the woods of Central Maine. Unseen and unknown, he lived in secret, creeping into homes in the dead of night and surviving on what he could steal. To the spooked locals, he became a legend—or maybe a myth. They wondered how he could possibly be real. Until one day last year, the hermit came out of the forest[/h] By Michael Finkel

First night he slept indoors in over 10000 nights

Major book deal.

He spent thirty years of winters being outside in Maine.

More than a few of these guys in that part of Maine.

Crazies

The article said that on cold winter nights, he'd get up at 2 AM and walk around, just so he was awake when it was the coldest and didn't freeze to death... unreal.

This is some crazy shit

If my camp/cottage was broken into over 50 times by this guy, i'd do a better job of boarding up the place when I left.
Law enforcement is so sparse up there, he could get away with almost anything I'm sure.

If true, this is insane
