The Hayloft at the End of Simpson Lane

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]

The Porch Light at the End of Hartwell Lane

October 2021. Luna's car breaks down on a back road in Millbrook, New York, and she knocks on the only lit porch on Hartwell Lane. The woman who answers, Eleanor, is ancient and kind. She offers tea and stories. But as the night deepens, Luna notices the porch light flickers in a pattern that isn't random. The jack-o'-lantern on the steps seems to shift its carved mouth between blinks. Eleanor talks about her husband, who left one October night twenty years ago to check the mail and never came back. She says his pumpkin is still on the stoop, never rotted. Luna looks closer and sees no stem, no seeds—just a hollow shell with two pinprick lights inside. The episode is a slow burn about grief, denial, and the terrible patience of something that waits for a return that will never come. #TwelveWaysToDieInOctober #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #HartwellLane #MillbrookNewYork #October #PorchLight #JackOLantern #Grief #Denial #Luna #SoloNarration #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #Pumpkin #NeverRotted #FlickeringLight #OldWoman Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo [https://buymeacoffee.com/fexingo]
