Humanoid Encounters takes you deep into the eerie, uncharted territories where the unknown walks among us. From shadowy figures glimpsed on deserted roads to bizarre beings lurking at the edge of human perception, these chilling accounts blur the line between folklore, the paranormal, and something far more unsettling.

Are these visitors lost souls, cryptid anomalies, or evidence of something even stranger? Through firsthand reports, whispered legends, and unsettling truths, Humanoid Encounters invites you to explore the mysteries that lurk just beyond the reach of reason.

Dare to look closer, because sometimes, the figures watching from the dark aren’t just figments of the imagination.

I’ve spent most of my life in Maine, and if there’s one thing you learn here, it’s that stories are as much a part of the landscape as the granite coast or the endless pines. Some are harmless yarns—an old-timer bragging about the fish that got away, or a fourteen-point buck that slipped past a hunter’s bullet. Others are tales of storms that left towns in the dark for weeks, or of friends who could drink enough Allen’s Coffee Brandy to stagger a moose. Storytelling isn’t just pastime here, it’s identity.

But every so often, the stories turn strange. Along the rocky shoreline or deep in the tree-shadowed mountains, the unusual has a way of showing itself. Everyone seems to have a moment they can’t explain: a light that moved wrong in the sky, a figure glimpsed at the edge of vision, a howl that didn’t belong to any known creature. Maine is full of mysteries that live in the dark between the pines.

That’s the terrain Nomar Slevik has made his life’s work. A paranormal researcher and ufologist, he’s been collecting these uncanny accounts for years. I first came across his UFOs Over Maine, a book that hooked me with its mix of rigor and easy, conversational storytelling. Because he grew up here, Nomar writes with a familiarity that makes the strange feel close to home. His passion for the paranormal and for Maine’s folklore is unmistakable.

His latest, Humanoid Encounters, feels like a natural continuation—even with a decade between the two books. Where UFOs Over Maine leaned on deep-dive investigation, this one takes a broader, more thematic approach. Each chapter gathers stories of beings both familiar and unclassifiable: aliens, pale crawlers, bigfoot, and things that don’t even have names. The structure makes it easy to dip in and out, but the sheer variety keeps you turning pages. It’s both a sampler for the curious and a feast for the devoted.

As someone who also researches the paranormal, I found many of these accounts to be among the most distinctive I’ve ever heard from the Pine Tree State. Some are entirely new to me; others add fresh layers of mystery to phenomena I thought I knew. A few will stay lodged in my mind for good.

Humanoid Encounters is more than a collection of stories—it’s a field guide to the uncanny, a reminder that Maine’s greatest export might just be its mysteries. It’s earned a permanent place in my desk drawer, close at hand, because it’s the kind of book you return to again and again, each time finding something new in the shadows.

Narrated by Charles Nute, the audiobook delivers an immersive experience that pulls the listener straight into the strange, uncanny, and sometimes terrifying encounters described in the book. I began listening over the weekend and finished within just a couple of days. I simply couldn’t turn it off. Nomar’s writing naturally lends itself to characterization and narrative storytelling, and hearing it performed aloud makes for a one-of-a-kind experience. This was my first time listening to an audiobook of this kind, but I’m certain it won’t be my last.

Nomar,

Thank you for your work. I can't wait to read what you do next. - Acadia After Dark

This book is full of well‑researched tales that weave folklore and contemporary eyewitness accounts into an eerie portrait of Maine’s many mysterious creatures. The material is so strange and abundant it’s best savored story by story - and rewards a second read.
