The All-Night Diner on Old Woodruff Road
from The Lonely Chapter — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
January 2017. A trucker named Dale pulls into the 24-hour diner on Old Woodruff Road, a lonely stretch of blacktop outside Carbondale, Illinois. The place is nearly empty—just a cook, a waitress, and one other customer in a booth by the window. But the coffee tastes wrong. The clock on the wall has stopped at 2:14. And when the waitress brings his check, she asks a question that makes the hair on his arms stand up: 'Do you remember how you got here?' This is a story about a road that doesn't end, a diner that doesn't close, and the moment you realize you've been driving for four hours on a road that should have taken twenty minutes. Luna heard it from Dale's sister, who called the show after listening to the episode about the Sleepy Creek Motel. She said her brother still can't eat in public. He still checks the clock when his coffee arrives. And he never drives at night anymore. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheLonelyChapter #CarbondaleIllinois #OldWoodruffRoad #AllNightDiner #TruckerStory #WrongCoffee #StoppedClock #LostTime #RoadHorror #LunarHorror #IntimateHorror #AtmosphericHorror #SoloNarrated #FolkHorror #Creepypasta #TrueStoryHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
