The Arcade on Miner Street, 1997
from Bound in Black — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the summer of 1997, the Galaxy Arcade on Miner Street in Elkhart, Indiana, was the only place where kids could escape the heat and their parents' fights. But for Danny Croft, it became a trap. The arcade had a machine that no one remembered ordering—a cabinet with no logo, no instructions, just a single button and a screen that showed your reflection. When Danny started playing, the game didn't ask for his quarter. It asked for his attention. And when he looked away, it took something else. Luna pieces together what happened to Danny from the fragments left behind—a torn T-shirt, a frozen screen, and a 911 call that lasted seventeen seconds. This is a story about the games we play, and the ones that play us back. It's quiet, it's sad, and it will make you check your reflection. Because sometimes, the machine is watching you. And sometimes, it's been watching you all along. #ElkhartIndiana #GalaxyArcade #MinerStreet #DannyCroft #1997 #ArcadeGame #ReflectionHorror #MissingPerson #Summer1997 #BenevolentHorror #ParanormalArcade #UncannyValley #TheGameThatWatches #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BoundInBlack #LunaReads #TrueStory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
