The Bones at Barker's Ford
from Holler Tales — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
It's late October 2023, and Luna's cousin calls her from a truck stop outside of Barker's Ford, West Virginia, with a story about what he found under the old iron bridge. A dry creek bed, a woman's skeleton laid out like she was sleeping, and a name scratched into the stone archway above her. Luna drives out to see it for herself, and what she learns from the town's oldest resident, a man named Harlan Jessup, turns a cold case into something far stranger. The bones were moved—not by animals, not by the creek, but by something that still walks the river road when the fog sits low. Harlan tells Luna about the Barghest of Barker's Ford, a creature that doesn't hunt, it waits. And now Luna can't stop thinking about that woman's hands, folded so neatly, and the way the dirt around her was swept clean. There are no answers here. Just a hollow feeling that stays with you long after the lantern goes out. #BarkersFord #WestVirginia #Appalachia #HollerTales #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Luna #IronBridge #Skeleton #ColdCase #Barghest #RiverRoad #Fog #HarlanJessup #CreekBed #Bones #GhostStory #FolkHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
