Yule Wraith — Fexingo Horror

Luna returns to the frozen well at St. Stephen's, where the bell has been ringing every Christmas Eve at midnight for sixty years—but this year, something answers from beneath the ice. A quiet, unhurried visit to the town of Millbrook, Vermont, on a night so cold the stars sound like breaking glass. The story of a woman named Esther who tended the well until the winter she disappeared, and the single brass bell that keeps her memory alive—or keeps something else at bay. Luna sits on the stone lip, her breath clouding in the dark, and listens to a sound that isn't the wind.

Luna returns to the well at St. Stephen's Church on Christmas Eve, a year after the first incident. The bell she tied to the yew tree has been replaced with a child's shoe. The water in the well is warm, and beneath the ice she sees something moving. A story about the things we offer to the dark, and what the dark offers back.

In the winter of 1998, Luna's aunt lived alone on a failing farm at the edge of St. Stephen's Well, a dried-up spring surrounded by bare oaks. She kept a brass bell on the porch, said to ring when someone lost was coming home. That December, the bell began to ring at odd hours — three times, then silence. Luna spent two weeks there, listening, as the ringing grew more insistent and the cold seeped into the walls. A story about waiting, about the dead who forget they're dead, and about the mercy of a bell that never stops.

Christmas Eve, 1987. A girl named Celeste disappears from the town of Millbrook, Vermont, after following the sound of a bell nobody else can hear. Her sister, Iris, spends the next thirty years tracing that sound to St. Stephen's Well, a forgotten stone spring on the edge of the national forest. What she finds there isn't a body, or a ghost, or a message. It's something that was always waiting for an answer. Luna tells a story of longing, patience, and the shape of a wish made wrong.

December 1998, the night before Christmas Eve. Luna’s aunt sends her to Shadow Creek Church to retrieve a forgotten casserole dish from the parish hall potluck. The church is dark, the parking lot empty, but someone has strung a fresh garland of pine and red berries across the front doors — even though the building has been locked since sunset. Inside, the lights flicker on as she enters. A single red ribbon lies on the altar step. The organ plays a note she’s never heard before, low and sustained, vibrating through the floorboards. She follows the sound to the basement, where the old boiler room door stands open, and a wreath of dried yew hangs on the wall, and the smell of pine smoke comes from somewhere below. She calls out. No one answers. But the footsteps behind her are not her own.

Christmas Eve, 1998. A young woman driving home from her shift at the all-night diner in Halford, Vermont, takes a shortcut she's taken a hundred times—Halford Crossing, the old covered bridge that connects the county road to the hollow. But tonight the bridge is different. There's a sprig of holly nailed to the beam, and a man standing in the middle, waiting. He doesn't move. He doesn't speak. But when she stops, he points to the ice below. Luna tells the story of a promise she made that night, and why she still leaves a sprig of holly at the bridge every Christmas Eve, twenty-six years later. A quiet, frozen encounter with something that waits at the threshold between years.

December 1987, just outside the tiny town of Mirkwood, Vermont. A woman named Clara picks up a hitchhiker on Frost Creek Trail—a young man with no coat, no gloves, and a strange bell tied to his wrist with red ribbon. He speaks of a house at the end of the trail, a Christmas Eve tradition, and a debt that must be paid before midnight. Clara drives him home, but what she finds there isn't a house at all—it's a shallow grave in the snow, and the bell is still ringing. Luna tells the story of a kindness that opened a door to something older than the season, and the question that still keeps her awake: who was ringing the bell when they buried him?

On Christmas Eve 1997, Luna visited Merriweather House, a crumbling Victorian on the outskirts of Morrow Falls, to collect a donation for the town's holiday food drive. The elderly owner, Mrs. Harlow, insisted she stay for tea and a slice of fruitcake. As the clock struck midnight, Mrs. Harlow told Luna about the chimney — sealed for forty years after a fire that took her husband. She claimed something still moved inside it. Luna heard it too. A dry scrape. A low hum. And then the sound of something breathing, slow and patient, from behind the bricks. This is a story about what lives in the walls of old houses, and what happens when you listen too closely.

December 2023 on a back road in Prosper, Maine. Luna's car slides off Route 9 near the old Proctor place and she walks up the hill to the only house with a light on—a farmhouse where a solitary old man named Ellis Proctor sits in a rocker, watching a snowman in his yard. The snowman is wrong. It has been there for two years, since his wife died. It doesn't melt. Luna stays for a cup of tea and leaves with a story she cannot shake: the way Ellis talks to the snowman, the way it seems to listen, the way her own reflection in the kitchen window looked, for just a second, like someone else.

On a frozen December night in 2019, Luna visits Gable End Farm—a half-abandoned property on the outskirts of Millbrook—to deliver a Christmas wreath to an elderly woman who hasn't left her house in years. What begins as a quiet act of neighborly kindness turns into something else when Luna notices the wreath she hung on the front door keeps vanishing and reappearing in the same spot, each time slightly different. The woman inside speaks through the mail slot in a voice that sounds too young for her known age. And she keeps asking: 'Did you bring the key?' This is a story about the things we choose not to see on winter nights, the lines between care and trespass, and what happens when you answer a door that should have stayed shut.
