He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit.

Love that series! Wish there was a decent blu ray of it. Hard to believe there isn't after a few years now.
ReplyDeleteIt's basically Wampus Country the series.
ReplyDeleteThat episode with the pumpkin villagers creeped me out so hard.
ReplyDeleteI heard that was good from people before, now y'all are running with it too. My list of things to watch is getting too long.
ReplyDeleteYeah very easy to binge. 15 minute episodes I think?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think each episode was two 11 minute episodes. (so 30 minutes w/ commercials.)
ReplyDeleteOh snaaaap now it just jumped up to the top.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if my wife'll like it.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna say yes. It's very charming.
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable/creepy/sweet/terrifying. It's a exactly how a fairy tale should be.
