The Bell at the Marigold Motor Lodge
from The Order of Quiet Things — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the summer of 1998, a woman checks into the Marigold Motor Lodge outside of Bakersfield, California—a place so quiet the front desk clerk doesn't even ask for her name. The room smells of bleach and old smoke. The wallpaper is a pattern of tiny yellow flowers. She's there to see her brother, who died three days earlier. She doesn't know why she's come. But something in room 17 wants her to stay. A bell on the nightstand rings at two-thirty every morning, even when she's watching it. This is a story about grief, and what calls to it. A story about the sound a room makes when it's waiting. Luna tells it like she was there, and maybe she was. #TheBellAtTheMarigoldMotorLodge #MarigoldMotorLodge #Bakersfield #Room17 #MotelHorror #Grief #Summer1998 #Unsettling #Paranormal #Mystery #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #TheOrderOfQuietThings #Luna #SoloNarration #Atmospheric #SlowBurn Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
