The Garden Door at Morningvale Cemetery
from Rooms We Don't Open — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
It was the summer of 1998, and I was visiting my grandmother's grave at Morningvale Cemetery in Bakersfield, when I noticed a door in the side of the mausoleum I'd never seen before. It was painted the same dull green as the ivy that grew over the stone, and it had no handle. I asked the groundskeeper about it, an old man named Harlan who'd worked there since the 1950s. He told me to leave it alone, but of course I didn't. What I found behind that door wasn't a room or a passage—it was a garden, overgrown and sunlit, with a single bench and a woman sitting on it, wearing a dress I recognized from old photographs. She looked up at me like she'd been waiting. She knew my name. She told me things about my family that no living person could know. And when I finally ran, I couldn't find the door again. But sometimes, late at night, I hear her voice on the wind, calling me back. #MorningvaleCemetery #Bakersfield #Harlan #TheGardenDoor #GhostStory #FamilySecrets #1998 #Mausoleum #IvyDoor #Bench #WomanInWhite #Cemetery #Supernatural #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #RoomsWeDontOpen #SoloNarrated #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
