Bound in Black — Fexingo Horror

It was the summer of 1998 when Luna's mother took a temp job at the historic Rutherford County Courthouse in Millbrook, a sleepy town where nothing ever happened. But the courthouse had a basement—a sub-basement, really—that no one talked about. Luna was twelve that year, old enough to wander the hallways after school, young enough to still believe adults knew what they were doing. It started with a skeleton key found in a forgotten desk drawer, a key that fit a door she'd never noticed before. Beyond that door was a room that had been sealed for fifty years, a room where the air was cold and the walls were covered in names. Luna learned that sometimes a building holds a secret so heavy that even the foundation groans under the weight. This is the story of what she saw in the room at the end of the key, and what she found carved into the floor. Some doors stay unlocked because someone is waiting on the other side.

November 1995. A woman in a rented house on Sycamore Street in Harlow, Ohio, begins to notice that her wardrobe is not quite what it seems. It is an old piece, left behind by the previous tenant, and it has a peculiar way of rearranging her clothes. But it is not the clothes that unsettle her—it is the fact that the wardrobe seems to be keeping something for her, something she is not ready to see. She tries to ignore it, but the wardrobe persists, and eventually she finds what it has been hiding. Told in a hushed, reflective tone, this episode explores the quiet horror of inheritance and the things we carry without knowing.

In the autumn of 1998, a woman named Iris moved into a small house on Winding Creek Road, just outside the town of Meridian. She had inherited the property from an uncle she barely remembered, a man who had spent his life as the town's gravedigger. The garden out back was overgrown with roses, their petals the color of dried blood. They bloomed even after the first frost. Iris thought nothing of it until she started digging. Each shovel of soil brought up something she could not explain—buttons, hair, teeth, all buried in neat rows beneath the roses. The deeper she dug, the more she found, and the more the roses seemed to watch her from the window. Luna tells the story of what Iris uncovered, and what the garden was trying to grow.

In October 1991, a county road worker named Ellis Cutter spent his nights repairing a single iron bridge on a dead-end road outside Jasper, Ohio. The bridge had no official name, but locals called it the Counting Bridge because of the sound it made at night — a rhythmic tapping, like someone walking across with a metal-capped cane. Ellis didn't believe the stories until he found a ledger hidden beneath the trestle, filled with names and dates. The last entry was his own, written in his handwriting, dated two weeks before he was born.

In the summer of 1993, a stretch of Flint Road in the town of Litchfield, Missouri collapsed into a sinkhole. Luna's aunt lived at the end of that road, and she would tell stories about the hole deepening long after the rains stopped. The night Luna's cousin Tommy disappeared, she went looking for him with a flashlight and a rope. What she found in the sinkhole was not a boy, but something that had been waiting for the ground to open. This is a story about what the earth gives back, and what it keeps.

In the summer of 1987, on a dead-end road outside the small town of Elkhorn, there was a well that had no water. Luna's grandmother told her about it one hot July evening, her voice dry as the dust on the porch. She said the well was dug by a man named Harlan Procter, who built it not for water but for something he found in his field. Every night after that, Luna would lie awake, listening to the crickets, wondering what Harlan had put down there. And whether it was still down there. Because the well never filled with water—but sometimes, if you stood at the edge just before dawn, you could hear a sound like breathing. This is the story of the well on Procter Road, and what Luna's grandmother never told her until the night before she died.

After her grandmother's death, Luna inherits a set of old wind chimes that seem to hum with a voice not carried by the wind. She brings them to her apartment in a small Ohio town, and soon discovers that they don't just ring—they remember. Every breeze pulls fragments of a life that isn't hers, and every silence feels like someone holding their breath. But the chimes won't stop, and neither will the footsteps that start in her hallway at 2:47 AM. A story about inheritance, grief, and the sound of something that refuses to be forgotten.

In the autumn of 2017, I spent a week house-sitting for my aunt in the small town of Millington, New York. The property sat at the top of Ashworth Hill, a long gravel drive that curved through a stand of old maples. The house itself was unremarkable—white clapboard, blue shutters, a screened porch that groaned in the wind. But at the peak of the roof, there was a copper weathervane shaped like a rooster. It had been there as long as anyone could remember, and no one thought much of it. Until the night I noticed the rooster was always facing my bedroom window, no matter which way the wind blew. I tried to ignore it. I told myself it was a trick of the light, a loose pivot, a gust that kept it turned my way. But the weathervane didn't just point—it watched. And when the wind died completely, and the rooster still creaked around to follow me, I began to understand that some things are not made to measure the wind. They are made to measure us. This is the story of that week, and what I saw from the window on the last night.
