The Bellringer of Oak Hill Cemetery at Dusk

Luna recalls the summer of 2009, when she worked as a groundskeeper at Oak Hill Cemetery in the sleepy town of Pemberton, Ohio. Every evening at dusk, a bell would ring from the old chapel — even though the rope had been cut decades before. She met the man who tended the bell, an old groundskeeper named Cyrus, who told her the story of the bell's origins and the price it demanded to keep the dead silent. As summer deepened, Luna noticed the toll it took on Cyrus — the sleeplessness, the shaking hands, the way he flinched at the soil. When Cyrus vanished, Luna took over his duty, and discovered that the bell didn't just ring on its own — it called out the names of those who would soon join the graves below. Now, years later, she still hears it sometimes, on quiet nights, in the back of her mind. A story about duty, sacrifice, and the thin line between keeping watch and waking what should stay buried. #OakHillCemetery #PembertonOhio #Bellringer #Dusk #Groundskeeper #Cyrus #Summer2009 #OldChapel #Belltower #NamesInTheDirt #GraveWarning #SilentDead #RottingRope #DustAndBones #LunaStory #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #AnthologyEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
