The Broom Turned Bristles Up is a narrated scary story about a man who mocks his grandmother’s old broom rule, only to wake up to a town full of brooms pointing toward his house. What starts as an ordinary household superstition turns into something much stranger when every broom, from shop floors to church closets, begins acting like a warning.What begins as a joke about old folk magic becomes a slow-building horror story about thresholds, family rules, sweeping taboos, and the dangerous things people dismiss until it’s too late. This episode is for listeners who enjoy folk horror, haunted object stories, supernatural suspense, witchcraft horror, old house horror, rural horror, haunted family stories, cursed object stories, and scary stories rooted in old superstitions.And don’t forget, be careful what you sweep away after dark.-------Want more from Feral by Night?Listen to The Feral Folklorist, Papa Gee’s weekly folklore and magic podcast for anyone who loves haunted history, ghost stories, witchcraft, folk magic, old superstitions, and the real beliefs behind the strange and unexplained.
