GQ: The Strange & Curious Tale of the Last True Hermit

http://www.gq.com/news-politics/newsmakers/201409/the-last-true-hermit

"For nearly thirty years, a phantom haunted the woods of Central Maine. Unseen and unknown, he lived in secret, creeping into homes in the dead of night and surviving on what he could steal. To the spooked locals, he became a legend—or maybe a myth. They wondered how he could possibly be real. Until one day last year, the hermit came out of the forest."

'Hermit's used to be people who went away from inhabited areas and stayed in isolation. They didn't come back to rob people.
