Bound in Black — Fexingo Horror

September 1991. A house-sitting job at the Beaumont place on Old Fork Road, outside a town called Linwood. The house had been empty for years. The owner, Mrs. Beaumont, was in a nursing home a hundred miles away. I was supposed to check for leaks, make sure the pipes didn't freeze, keep an eye on things. What I found in the pantry wasn't on the checklist. A door I hadn't noticed before. A smell like wet earth and something else. And a voice, very small, very patient, asking me to let it out. I didn't. But I didn't lock it again either. I left it the way I found it, and I drove away with the key still in my pocket, and I haven't been back. But sometimes I wake up at three in the morning and I can smell that pantry. And I wonder if it's still waiting.

In October of 1993, a woman named Sarah bought an abandoned barn on Parsonage Road, just outside of Millbrook, New York. She wanted to restore it, to turn it into a home. But the barn had its own plans. The previous owner had left everything inside — tools, tack, a child's shoe. And something else. Something that lived in the hayloft and only moved at night. Sarah learned to leave the loft door closed. She learned not to listen to the creaking of the floorboards overhead. But some sounds demand to be heard. This is the story of what she found in the barn, and what found her. It's a story about the things we inherit, and the things we choose not to see.

In October 1997, a man named Carl Pendelton drove past a billboard on Route 19 in Jessup County every day. It advertised a motel that had been demolished in 1983. But the sign never came down—the county just stopped paying for it. Carl started noticing small changes: the lettering looked newer somehow, the phone number at the bottom had a working area code. One night, on a dare from his brother, he called the number. A woman answered. She said her name was Margie, and she'd been expecting him. What Carl found at the address the billboard directed him to was not a motel. It was a gravel lot, a collapsed foundation, and something underneath that had been waiting a very long time for someone to call back. This is the story of that night, and of what answered the phone.

July 1999. The Sunshine Laundromat on Route 9 in Hadlow, Ohio, stays open until midnight. I was nineteen, broke, and washing every piece of fabric I owned in a single machine because the apartment complex's basement had flooded. The laundromat was almost empty—just me, an old man reading a newspaper folded into quarters, and the dryers. But there was a vent in the back wall, behind the folding tables, that I swear was not there when I walked in. It started as a draft—a cold, thin stream of air that smelled of damp earth and something metallic. Then I heard the sound. Not the machines. A voice, thin and far away, like it was being pulled through a long pipe. It said my name. Not 'hey you' or 'miss'—my full name, the one I never told anyone in Hadlow. And then the vent began to pulse. Not with air. With light. A low, greenish glow that flickered in time with the words it kept repeating. I never found out what was on the other side of that wall. But I know now that some doors don't have handles. Some doors are just holes, waiting for you to lean close enough to fall in.

Luna recalls a night in November 1994 when she took a wrong turn onto a dirt road off Route 17 in the pine barrens of western Georgia. The road didn't appear on any map, and the house at its end wasn't supposed to be there. What she found inside—a single room, a single chair, a single photograph—has stayed with her ever since. This is a story about the roads we aren't meant to find, and the things that wait for us at the end of them. Recorded live at the Fexingo Horror podcast network.

August 1987. A quiet street in Corinth, Mississippi. Luna was eleven, sitting on the front porch of a house that belonged to a woman named Elsbeth. She remembers the heat, the cicadas, the way Elsbeth's rocking chair never stopped. She remembers the girl who came to the door at dusk — barefoot, wearing a sundress that was too thin for the season. The girl didn't speak. She pointed down the street, toward the overgrown lot where the old oak tree used to stand. And Elsbeth said, 'She comes every night now. She won't stop until someone follows.' Luna didn't follow. But she watched from the porch as the girl walked back into the dark, and she has never forgotten the sound of her feet on the gravel — not crunching, but silent, like they didn't touch the ground at all. A story about what it means to see something you cannot unsee, and the weight of choosing not to act.

An old woman on Procter Road tells Luna about the well behind her house—the one that was sealed in 1987 after three children went missing. She says she still hears them singing at night, their voices rising from underground, asking for a rope. Luna visits the well, and what she finds there makes her understand why the woman never sleeps with the windows open.

In the winter of 1998, the old St. Catherine's Church on the outskirts of Melling, Virginia, was being deconsecrated. The building was sold to a developer who planned to turn it into a boutique hotel, but one thing held up the sale: the stained-glass rose window over the altar. No one could explain why the window showed a figure that didn't match any saint in the church's records. Luna's grandmother was the parish secretary in 1998, and she kept a journal of the weeks before the demolition crew arrived. What she wrote about the window — and about the man who came to see it every night — stayed locked in a metal box until after her funeral. This is that story. It's about what the window showed, who the man was, and why the glass had to be removed in complete darkness.

In the winter of 1999, Luna's cousin took a caretaker job at a boarded-up mission outside Ellery, Illinois — a place the locals called the Bell Church, because of the sound it made at night. The priest had vanished. The furnace kept cutting out. And every hour, on the hour, the tower bell rang without anyone in the belfry. This is the story of what she found in the basement, and what she heard when she finally climbed those stairs. No ghosts. No possession. Just a sound that shouldn't have been there — and a silence that lasted too long afterward.

Luna recounts a humid summer night in 1996 when her friend Clara found a waterlogged diary bobbing against the reeds of Lost Lake, just outside the sleepy town of Stillwater. The entries were not written by anyone Clara recognized — but they described her childhood home in unsettling detail, including events that had not yet happened. What began as a curious artifact became a nightly compulsion to read aloud, until Clara began to hear her own voice echoing back from the lake at dusk. A story about words that refuse to stay on the page, the hollow loneliness of a small-town summer, and the quiet dread of being written down by someone you cannot see. No monsters. No gore. Just a girl, a notebook, and the creeping certainty that she was not the only one reading.
