The Fence at Mingo Flats

In the summer of 2003, Luna's cousin built a fence along the back forty of his family's homestead in Mingo Flats, Kansas. The fence was meant to keep cattle in and the neighbor's windbreak from encroaching. But the posts he dug came from a stand of black locust trees that had been struck by lightning three years before. Within a week, the fence began to hum at night. Within a month, the cattle would not approach it. By August, his wife would not look at him the same way. This is the story of what he found when he walked the line after midnight with a lantern and a hammer. It is a story about boundaries, and what happens when you mark a line the land does not want you to draw. #MingoFlats #Kansas #BlackLocust #Fence #Cattle #Humming #Boundary #Land #LightningStrike #Cousin #2003 #Summer #Hammer #Lantern #Homestead #Windbreak #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
