The Frosted Door at Glenhollow School
from Rooms We Don't Open — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
It was the winter of 2008, and I was subbing at Glenhollow Elementary, a small school tucked into a valley in western Pennsylvania that seemed to collect fog like a bowl collects water. The janitor, Mr. Delancey, had been there for forty-two years and had a habit of locking doors I hadn't asked him to lock. The frosted door was at the end of the kindergarten hallway—painted a pale blue, with a frost pattern etched into the glass that looked like fingers pressed from the other side. I didn't think much of it until the week before Christmas break, when the second graders started drawing pictures of a woman in the hallway, and the art teacher found a pair of small wet footprints leading from the door to the supply closet. This is the story of what I saw through that glass, and what I heard when I finally pressed my ear to it during a power outage. It's not a ghost story, exactly. It's about a door that was never meant to be opened, and a woman who has been waiting longer than the school has been standing. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #RoomsWeDontOpen #GlenhollowSchool #FrostedDoor #MrDelancey #KindergartenHallway #Winter2008 #Pennsylvania #FingerprintsOnGlass #WetFootprints #PowerOutage #WomanInTheHallway #ClosedDoor #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #LunaReads #AnthologyHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
