The Gate That Shouldn't Have Opened on Gifford Peak
from Tracks in the Snow — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
Late autumn, 2019, on an unmarked game trail below Gifford Peak. Luna meets a man named Kellen who carries a lantern through the scrub pines at 4 AM. He is walking a line of old iron fence posts that he insists mark a property line drawn in 1872. He says the gate at the end of the line must never be opened. He says that last winter someone opened it. He says what came through took the shape of a deer but walked on two legs. Luna follows him up the ridge to see the gate for herself. She sees the rusted hinge and the padlock. She also sees what is on the other side of the fence, standing still in the birch grove. Kellen does not look. He only tells her to walk backward down the trail and not to speak until she reaches her car. The story ends with Luna in the driver's seat, engine running, trying to remember whether the deer-thing had a face. #GiffordPeak #IronFence #Kellen #DeerThing #StandingDeer #PropertyLine #1872 #Lantern #GameTrail #BirchGrove #PadlockedGate #AutumnHorror #Solitude #UnmarkedTrail #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TracksInTheSnow #EerieEncounter Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
