Bucksport, Maine is the kind of place where people wave in the grocery store, where the river moves slow, and where tragedy is supposed to be rare. But over four years, four people died or vanished under circumstances their families say never made sense — all connected to one man: David Appleby. Four deaths. One disappearance. One man whose name keeps resurfacing. Between 2013 and 2017, a quiet mill town on the Penobscot River became the center of a series of tragedies that still defy explanation.
In this episode of the Fogcast, I sit down with Amazon‑bestselling mystery author Michael Lowell Wright, a writer shaped by the deep woods, logging roads, and folklore of inland Maine. Tonight, we explore The Golden Road, Wright’s breakout novel that blends real disappearances, Maine legend, and the eerie pull of the North Woods into a dark literary universe.
Step off the marked trails and into the places where Maine keeps its secrets. In this episode, we explore five cryptids whispered about in logging camps, fishing towns, and the deep woods where the map fades to blank paper. From the branch‑throwing Agropelter lurking in hollow pines to the lightning‑quick Hide‑behind that stalks the dark, from Cherryfield’s unsettling Goatman to Cassie the ancient sea serpent of Casco Bay, and finally the towering, ghost‑white Specter Moose of the North Woods — these are the creatures that live between the stories and the shadows.
In this episode of the Fogcast, I sit down with writer and Mainer, Chris Moller for a conversation that drifts from the everyday to the uncanny — the way life in the Pine Tree State often does.
Bar Island in Bar Harbor, Maine is known for its tidal crossing — a path that appears and disappears with the sea. But beneath the beauty lies a story that has haunted the community for more than a century. Revisit a historic tragedy from 1915 and the ghostly legends that followed as we explore the darker side of Mount Desert Island, where memory, tide, and folklore intertwine.
In this episode of Fogcast, I sit down with Ryan Von Ghoulsworth—DJ, archivist, writer, and the mind behind Mutants of the East—for a deep dive into Maine’s haunted musical underbelly.

Tonight’s Fogcast brought in two guests who know the darker corners of Maine better than most. Travis Hartford and Jeff Atwood, the voices behind Locating the Lost, joined me to talk about their work uncovering the stories behind missing persons and cold cases throughout New England. Their podcast blends interviews, live case discussions, and deep‑dive investigations to give a voice to those who’ve gone silent.
It's been a while hikers but the Fogcast is back. On this return episode I talk about tourist season, the International Cryptozoology museum is almost open again and I look at your answers to the question of the week.
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.
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.
Good evening hikers,

Johnny Cash. Alien abduction. Somesville, Maine.
The mountain’s shadow stretches long across the trees. A stiff coastal wind combs through the forest’s brittle crown. And in the dark places between the pines… something stirs.
Good evening, hikers — and thank you for tuning in to another broadcast of Acadia After Dark’s Park Updates, here on ▇▇▇▇▇▇ — the only radio signal stubborn enough to claw its way through the fog and out into the murky depths of the North Atlantic.

Maine’s wilderness has long whispered secrets to those willing to listen. But some tales don’t whisper—they scratch. Scratch at the edges of reason. Scratch at something ancient. Something primal.

Beneath the serene surface of Witch Hole Pond lies a sinister history that haunts the heart of Mount Desert Island. This seemingly tranquil spot in Acadia National Park has borne witness to chilling tales of unexplained disappearances, ghostly apparitions, and whispers from the shadows. Explore the unsettling mysteries that shroud this isolated pond, a place where nature’s beauty collides with an unsettling sense of foreboding.
The rugged Maine coast has long been a backdrop for tales of triumph and tragedy, where the echoes of history crash against the jagged cliffs like restless waves. Maritime lore is woven into the fabric of the region, just as deeply as its ghost stories—but what happens when the sea refuses to let go? When history and hauntings merge, leaving behind a mystery that lingers in the fog and whispers through the tides?
