The County Road Paving at Lost Creek
from Plague Doctor's Round — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In August of 1998, the town of Lost Creek, Arkansas hired a private paving crew to resurface a dead-end county road that had been dirt for as long as anyone could remember. The crew foreman, a man named Harlan Driscoll, kept a detailed journal of the job because the residents along that road — all three families — made him uneasy. They never came outside during daylight. They never spoke. And every morning, the fresh-laid asphalt was covered in a pattern of old-fashioned boot prints that led from no house to nowhere. Luna recounts the story from Harlan's journal, which she found forty years later in a used bookstore in Fayetteville. It's a quiet, creeping account of a road that refused to be paved, and the sound the paving machine made when it finally broke down at 3 a.m. in the deep heat of a southern summer night. #LostCreek #ArkansasHorror #HarlanDriscoll #CountyRoad #PavingCrew #Asphalt #BootPrints #Nocturnal #SmallTown #Eighties #PavingMachine #Journal #FoundDocument #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #PlagueDoctorsRound #LunaReads #CreepingDread #PlagueDoctorHorror #HistoricalHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
