The Cries from the Icehouse on Cranberry Lake
from Tracks in the Snow — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
It was the winter of 2008, the year the lake froze solid by Thanksgiving. I was renting a cabin on Cranberry Lake in northern Minnesota, trying to finish a manuscript I'd been avoiding for months. The icehouse belonged to an old man named Harlan Sutter, who had lived on the east shore his whole life. He told me he'd stopped fishing three winters ago, but he still went out every night to sit in the dark and listen. I asked him what he listened for, and he just pointed at the ice. The first time I heard it, I thought it was the lake settling — that low, groaning sound ice makes when it shifts. But it wasn't coming from the ice. It was coming from inside the ice. And it wasn't a groan. It was a voice. Not human. But it was trying to be. This is what happened on Cranberry Lake in the deepest part of that frozen winter. #CranberryLake #MinnesotaWinter #Icehouse #HarlanSutter #FrozenLake #VoicesUnderIce #HorrorPodcast #FexingoHorror #AnthologyHorror #SlowBurnHorror #AtmosphericHorror #WinterHorror #LakeHorror #Isolation #Manuscript #CabinFever #TheCries #Episode10 #Snowbound #CryptidTracks Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
