One of Etiole's dens. He has thousands of these all over Maine, a dozen or more in almost every town. A disabled and badly disfigured WW2 veteran now in his 90s, he's lived in these dens since 1953, and is Maine's most famous hermit. As they don't last long, he builds new ones every year. Because of harassment by locals who believe him a cryptid, demon, or alien, he is rarely able to stay in any location long. His wife and children were killed in a France concentration camp in the 1940s. I've taken care of him since I found him in 1978. On November 21, 2021 Etiole was gunned down at Biddeford Rotary Park by 6 locals who were calling him a su***de demon and claiming he'd put a su***de curse on one of their family members who'd recently died.
