The Last Hayride at Burnham Hollow

The Fire Tower at the End of Old Coach Road

October 1987. A girl named Claire Wainwright takes a shortcut home through the woods behind Old Coach Road and finds a fire tower that hasn't been maintained in thirty years. The ladder is cold and wet. The door at the top hangs open. Inside, a fire-scorched logbook records every wildfire season since 1952—except for one page, freshly written in charcoal, dated next week. Claire doesn't tell anyone what she saw. But she starts sleeping with her bedroom light on. She stops walking past the trailhead. And every night, from her second-story window, she watches the tower's distant silhouette against the moon. Some nights, she swears the glass at the top glows orange—like a candle, or an ember, or a warning. This is a story about knowing something you can't un-know, and the particular dread of a fire that hasn't started yet. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #FireTower #OldCoachRoad #October1987 #ClaireWainwright #CharcoalLogbook #GlowingWindow #ShortcutHome #BeforeTheFire #Dread #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #SmallTown #Forest #Autumn #Unresolved #LunaReads Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo [https://buymeacoffee.com/fexingo]

The Hayloft at the End of Simpson Lane

In the last week of October 1998, a man named Carl Pendleton disappeared from his farm on Simpson Lane, just outside the town of Millbrook. His wife said he went out to the hayloft to fix a loose board and never came back. The sheriff found his flashlight on the floor, still on, and his footprints stopping mid-plank as if he had simply stepped off into nothing. I grew up hearing that story, and last October I finally went to see the hayloft for myself. The farm has been abandoned for years, the hayloft door hanging open like a mouth that forgot to close. I climbed the ladder. I saw what was up there. This is what I found on Simpson Lane. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TwelveWaysToDieInOctober #SimpsonLane #Hayloft #Millbrook #CarlPendleton #AbandonedFarm #October1998 #Disappearance #Footprints #Flashlight #GrainBin #Darkness #HollowSound #WrongAngle #OldWood #NoBody Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo [https://buymeacoffee.com/fexingo]

The Jack-O'-Lantern at the End of Shady Glen Drive

October 1977. A boy named Leo Carver vanishes from his front porch on Shady Glen Drive, leaving behind a pile of candy and a single jack-o'-lantern with a candle still burning. Thirty-four years later, his younger brother walks that same street on Halloween night and finds the pumpkin still sitting on the same stoop—unchanged, unrotted, its carved face exactly as he remembers it. The candle gutters but never goes out. The front door hangs open. And inside, something is breathing. A story about what we leave behind, what waits, and why some doors never stay shut. #ShadyGlenDrive #JackOLantern #Halloween #LeoCarver #Disappearance #1977 #Return #Candle #OctoberNight #SuburbanHorror #Brother #Porch #Pumpkin #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #AtmosphericHorror #TwelveWaysToDieInOctober Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo [https://buymeacoffee.com/fexingo]

The Pumpkin Patch at the End of Jasper Hollow Road

Luna recalls an evening in late October 2019, when she stopped at a pumpkin patch on Jasper Hollow Road, just outside the town of Millbrook. The patch was run by an old woman named Ruth, who seemed to know things she shouldn't. As the sun set, Luna noticed that all the pumpkins had faces—not carved, but grown that way. And one pumpkin in particular... it had her mother's eyes. The story is about inheritance, the things we carry without knowing, and what grows when you bury something you should have let go. #PumpkinPatch #JasperHollow #Millbrook #Ruth #GrownFaces #OctoberNight #LunaHorror #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarrated #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #QuietDread #Inheritance #BuriedThings #PumpkinWithEyes #Mother #AutumnTerror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo [https://buymeacoffee.com/fexingo]

The Porch Swing at the End of Hollis Lane

October 1987. A girl named Ellie Porter goes missing from her front porch in the town of Ashburn, Ohio. She was last seen on the swing at 11:14 PM — her mother heard the chains creak once more at 11:17, then nothing. When I visited the house twenty years later, the swing was still there. The chains had rusted solid. The porch light flickered even in broad daylight. I spoke to the current owners, who told me about the scratching at the back door every October 17th. About the way the swing moves on windless nights. About the photograph they found in the attic — a Polaroid of Ellie, smiling, holding a jack-o'-lantern with a face that looked too much like her own. I stayed until dusk. I saw something on that swing that cannot be explained by rust or wind or memory. This is what I saw. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TwelveWaysToDie #October1987 #AshburnOhio #HollisLane #PorchSwing #MissingGirl #ElliePorter #JackOLantern #Polaroid #RustedChains #PorchLight #ScratchingAtTheDoor #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #TrueStoryHorror #LunaNarrates Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo [https://buymeacoffee.com/fexingo]
