Description
At the age of 20, Christopher Knight left home and settled in the woods among trees and animals, determined never to return to people. For 27 years he lived alone, building up his own world outside civilization. He invented his own system of survival: for decades he never once kindled a fire (the smoke would give him away and they would find him), learned to pick locks of any complexity with virtuoso skill to get food from nearby houses, stole books by great authors and composer records to spend time only with the best of people. He became a legend of the state of Maine—no one ever saw him, but everyone knew that somewhere in the forests there lived a hermit.
When Knight was caught, he told his story to only one person on Earth and never gave interviews again.
