Good evening, hikers, and welcome to a very special episode of Acadia After Dark: Campfire Stories, where the flicker of the flames illuminates the hidden corners of Maine’s past—its legends, its mysteries, and its ghosts. But tonight, we’re venturing beyond folklore.

This episode is unlike any before, because for the first time, we’re stepping into the realm of the unknown through the eyes of one of our own listeners.

Allison reached out to me via email, sharing an eerie experience that she and her family encountered while camping on a small island off the coast of Maine. After carefully reviewing the details she provided, I’ve confirmed that the place exists. And after hearing her story, I believe, without a doubt, that what she experienced was real.

So gather close, let the fire cast its glow, and dim your lanterns. Tonight, we step into Allison’s world. We step into the unknown.

Acadia After Dark: Campfire Stories is a new series that invites you to explore the eerie and frightening side of Maine. From terrifying tales of the supernatural to haunted legends steeped in mystery, each episode takes you deep into the heart of the Pine Tree State’s most unsettling folklore. Set against the atmospheric crackle of a glowing campfire, these immersive stories will transport you into the darkness where the line between reality and the paranormal is hauntingly thin.
