I've somehow made friends with a crow. It comes and sits outside the window in the morning, when I go to the bathroom first time. I haven't been nice. I guess I've said hello a couple of times, but only 2 or 3.

Not everything up here is creepy.

The fall is really nice. And they only found a chopped up body in the pond that one time in the spring. Though fall leaves are a lot to clean up.

One of my favorites is Christine. What if a car were, like, super evil or whatever?

That's not so bad I guess. There's only a few ponds up there right?

Where I live yea only like a few hundred in my area. I live south of Maine though and go up there to hike a lot and they do have quite a bit of water. Ive only seen two fully wrecked planes that are too deep for anyone to clean up and one ghost train. Oh yeah and theres the failed logging equipment in the middle of old growth, thats always fun to run across. The ice breaker train thing in the logging museam in Patten is real cool. Thats all north of Stephen King though. He's all fancy in a real town n shit.

My parents live not too far away away from him. They always tell me when someone sees him at the supermarket. Apparently he is spooky.

If you're a hiker the one one from the 70s in right in the middle of the 100mi. The other other is from the 50s, a huge aluminum thing you can walk through that crashed in the mountains in the fog. A bit off trail and takes a while to find. Its like a week or two south of the 100mi if I remember correctly? Theres more ive heard of of but not seen. Ghostrains are just on alltrails theres a few.

The writer John Connolly's "Charlie Parker" books are partly about how weird Maine is. Some of his descriptions can get your small hairs standing up.
