Good evening, hikers. And thank you for tuning in to the inaugural broadcast of Acadia After Dark’s Park Updates here on ▇▇▇▇▇▇ your regularly scheduled dispatch from the dark place between the pines where static meets the shadows.

This is your friendly reminder from the Acadia After Dark Park Service:

- Please remain on designated trails.

- Do not engage with entities offering “directions.”

- If you hear your name whispered from the treeline, ignore it.

- Campfires must be fully extinguished before midnight, lest they attract attention.

- And remember: the fog is not your friend.

Park Updates is a new series from the Acadia After Dark Universe. Think of it as your guide to surviving the supernatural bureaucracy of the worlds most haunted national park. Inspired by the likes of Welcome to Night Vale, this series blends horror, satirical humor, and narrative world-building to deliver ranger reports, cryptic announcements, and unsettling community bulletins from a park that may not be entirely terrestrial.

Whether you’re a seasoned camper, a curious outsider, or something else entirely, we welcome you to laugh nervously, listen closely, and never—ever—stray from the path. As always, keep those lanterns lit and stay safe out there.

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.

Tonight, we speak of the Pale Crawlers, an uncanny and terrifying creature that stalks humans from the shadows. These strange humanoid beings linger and watch from the edges of our perception and tease at something from deep within our psyches.

Join me, Reverend Redbeard as I share true encounters from the Pine Tree State and attempt to understand who or what are these visitors? Where do they come from? And what do they want from us?

If you are interested in true tales of terror, cryptids and the unexplained then this episode will remind you why we stay by the safety of our fire.

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.

Something was watching from the skies above Graham Lake—and it left behind no sound, no trace, and no answers.

In this unsettling episode of Acadia After Dark: Campfire Stories, host Reverend Redbeard investigates a chilling UFO sighting in rural Maine, reported in December 2024 by a terrified local resident. What she saw that night would leave her and her daughter shaken and searching for answers

Join Reverend Redbeard as he peels back the layers of this otherworldly encounter, exploring theories from advanced drones to extraterrestrial visitors—and uncovering the growing unease among locals who feel that something is lurking above.

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.
