The Empty Cradle on Route 9

What this episode covers

In the summer of 1997, a stretch of Route 9 outside Bedford, Ohio, became known for a single roadside relic: a white wicker cradle that appeared overnight in a field of Queen Anne's lace. No one knew where it came from, but everyone knew not to stop near it. Luna was fourteen that July, riding in the back of her uncle's pickup, when she saw the cradle for the first time. She tells the story of what happened when she finally convinced her cousin to pull over — the sound that came from inside it, and the thing that stood up from the grass behind it. A quiet, sun-bleached horror about rural roads, summer boredom, and the stories we tell ourselves not to look too closely. #TheEmptyCradleOnRoute9 #BedfordOhio #Route9 #1997 #QueenAnnesLace #WhiteWicker #PickupTruck #SummerHorror #RuralOhio #RoadsideRelic #TheSound #TheThingInTheGrass #UncleRay #CousinTyler #Summer1997 #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #ImaginaryPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
