The Boots at Ponder's Creek

Luna recalls a night in October of '97, driving north on Old State Road through a cold rain. She stopped at Ponder's Creek — a gas station that looked like it hadn't been painted since the seventies. The attendant wore a crocheted sweater and kept watching the security monitors even when nothing was on them. He told her about the boots that had been sitting on the roof for three days. A pair of brown leather work boots, standing side by side on the edge of the awning, laces tied, toes pointing south. No one claimed them. No ladder had been found. Luna asks what happened to the person who wore them. The attendant says: 'They're still up there.' She left before dawn, but she kept glancing at the rearview — half expecting to see someone walking barefoot on the shoulder, matching the direction of those boots. #PondersCreek #OldStateRoad #GasStationHorror #TheBoots #October1997 #LunaNarrates #HorrorPodcast #FexingoHorror #SoloNarration #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurnHorror #QuietDread #RoadsideEncounters #TheOrderOfQuietThings #AnthologyHorror #Unresolved #SmallTownHorror #LingeringFear Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
