The Bridge Keeper at Stillwater Crossing
from Bound in Black — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
Stillwater Crossing is a narrow iron bridge on a back road outside Vermillion Falls, Iowa, that no one uses after dark. But in the autumn of 2019, a woman named Ellen drove across it at three in the morning and met the bridge keeper. He was tall and thin, dressed in a dark suit, and he stood in the middle of the road holding a lantern that burned blue. He didn't move. He just watched her. She told me about it later, her hands trembling around a cup of coffee, and I listened because something in her voice made me believe every word. This episode is about what happens when you stop on a bridge at the wrong hour, when the water below is black and quiet, and when someone steps out of the fog to ask a question you can't answer without breaking something inside you. It's about the weight of choice and the things we carry across borders we didn't know existed. #BoundInBlack #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #StillwaterCrossing #VermillionFalls #BridgeKeeper #BlueLantern #Autumn2019 #IowaHorror #RuralHorror #Fog #MidnightEncounter #Ellen #TheQuestion #CrossingOver #IronBridge #Lantern #ReturnTicket Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
