Erroneous reference #1 First reference/footnote pertains to a completely different person: "Jonsson, Patrik. "Eric Frein sightings: How 'wilderness ninja' has outfoxed 1,000 cops". Christian Science Monitor. Retrieved 27 February 2015." Theaternearyou (talk) 20:16, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He's referenced in the article which I think is why it's on the footnotes. Jessamyn (talk) 22:35, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. Here is the paragraph in its entirety. "Christopher Thomas Knight (born December 7, 1965), also known as the North Pond Hermit, is a former recluse and burglar who claimed to have lived without human contact (with two very brief exceptions) for 27 years between 1986 and 2013 in the North Pond area of Maine's Belgrade Lakes." Nothing in this refers to Eric Frein.

This is a talk page for the Christopher Thomas Knight article and the cited article mentions him in the way I noted. The main gist of the article is about another person but the excerpted part is about the subject of this page. Jessamyn (my talk page) 19:06, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bellavance

In this article it's stated "a fisherman named Tony Bellavance (along with his son and grandson) had discovered Knight in his camp." I don't believe that to be accurate. I don't have a direct source for Finkel's book so I don't know how he states it in there but I heard an interview with him and the way he described it, it didn't sound anything like Knight was in his camp at all.

A Hermit?

He appears to have had no religious reason for his actions. The use of the word 'hermit' implies that he was a solitary monk or priest seeking time away from the world for prayer or contemplation.

The neighbor never exchanged more than a few words. This seems to show the neighbor is reticent. Does it show anything else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.34.200.160 (talk) 23:34, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
