3 Uncanny True Encounters from the Pine Tree State

Three true Pale Crawler encounters from the deep woods of Maine — each stranger, darker, and more unsettling than the last. In this episode, we explore eyewitness accounts of tall, pale, uncanny figures stalking rural properties, cannabis grows, mountain trails, and quiet northern homesteads. These stories come straight from the people who lived them, and each one adds another piece to the puzzle of what might be hiding in the treeline.
Are they an evolutionary offshoot? A mimic species? Something extraterrestrial? Or something else entirely? If you’ve ever felt watched in the woods, heard your name whispered from the trees, or seen something pale and human‑shaped where no person should be… this episode is for you.
